“…[2][3][4][5][6][7] The higher yield may be caused by the different hydrodistillation conditions. The major components of the essential oil were monoterpenes (87.7%) and their oxygenated derivatives (9.9%), which is in agreement with the literature data.…”

“…1 Previous studies have shown monoterpenes, including p-cymene, α-thujene, γ-terpinene, carvacrol, α-pinene and β-pinene, to be the main components of the essential oil from black cumin. [2][3][4][5][6][7] However, there are still unidenti¼ed components. 2,6,7 We devoted our studies to thoroughly analysing the composition of the essential oil from N. sativa grown in Poland.…”

Forty-eight compounds have been identi¼ed in the essential oil from Nigella sativa (black cumin) seeds, 14 of which are volatiles that have never been isolated from black cumin before. This is the ¼rst time to show two monoterpenoids: cis-and trans-4-methoxythujane, occur naturally in plants, speci¼cally in the essential oil from N. sativa seeds in 0.3% and 4%, respectively. The structures of the 4-methoxythujanes were established by both spectroscopic and chemical methods.SEED ESSENTIAL OIL OF NIGELLA SATIVA L. 127 tr, trace (<0.05%); RI exp , experimental retention index given for CP-Sil5 column; RI lit , literature retention index given for CP-Sil5 column. 18 * New compounds for essential oil of N. sativa. 130 A.

“…11 Essential oil of this species is rich in thymoquinone, which is known to be active against some bacterial pathogens. 20,21 Possibly, other simple phenolics detected as minor constituents in the oil, such as carvacrol, thymol and thymohydroquinone 5,6 may also contribute to its effect, as they are known to exhibit antimicrobial activity when tested individually. 22,23 As previously reported, the hydroxy group in the phenolic structure of these components is known to have a major effect on their antimicrobial activity, and their antimicrobial potential might be attenuated or abolished after their O-methylation.…”

“…Essential oils of N. damascena and N. orientalis were shown to contain predominantly sesquiterpenes, such as β-elemene, 6-8 whereas essential oils from N. sativa and N. arvensis seem to be similar in prevalence of monoterpenes. [4][5][6] Moreover, both oils are rich in thymol or carvacrol derivatives and some of the constituent found in the essential oil of N. arvensis such as the main carvacrol methyl ether, followed by thymohydroquinone methyl ether and thymohydroquinone dimethyl ether are methoxy derivatives of phenolic constituents and quinones reported in essential oil of N. sativa.…”

The essential oil from Nigella arvensis L. was obtained by hydrodistillation, yielding 0.42% of oil on dry weight basis. The GC and GC-MS analyses showed the presence of 69 components, predominantly monoterpenes. The major constituents were carvacrol methyl ether (26.4%), β β β β β-pinene (21.4%), n-undecane (13.2%), and α α α α α-pinene (5.7%). The oil did not exhibit antimicrobial activity when tested by microdilution method.

Black cumin, Nigella sativa L. belonging to Ranunculaceae, is a valuable medicinal plant because of the curative effects of seed and oil. Despite studies on black cumin, there are few studies on the effects of nitrogen on fatty acid composition, no records on thymoquinone yield, and the thymoquinone content of the seed oil. In this study, the effects of different nitrogen doses on the seed oil yield, thymoquinone ratio/yield, and fatty acid compositions were investigated. Field studies with nitrogen doses (0, 40, 60, 80, and 100 kg/ha) were studied using the randomized plot design. As a result of the research, nitrogen doses significantly affected the oil and thymoquinone yields while insignificant on the thymoquinone ratio. The highest oil yield with 501.6 kg/ha was obtained from 80 kg/ha of the nitrogen doses, while the highest thymoquinone yield with 10.24 kg/ha was obtained from the control plots. Thymoquinone yields were in the same statistical group with other nitrogen doses, except for means of 100 kg/ha nitrogen doses. Linoleic, oleic, and palmitic acids were major fatty acids of black cumin, and their variations were insignificant in nitrogen applications. The values of butyric, capric, and linolenic acids varied significantly in different nitrogen doses. As a result of the study, it was determined that the highest oil yield was obtained from 80 kg/ha nitrogen application. It has been determined that nitrogen doses above 60–80 kg/ha should be avoided for the seed oil and thymoquinone yields in black cumin.
