“…4 Essential oil produced from T. ammi seeds contains about 50% thymol, which is a highly esteemed fungicide and strongly antiseptic. 5 Thymol is used in the preparation of toothpaste and perfumery. 6 The crop yield is influenced negatively due to the development of diseases caused by several pathogens such as Alternaria blight ( Alternaria alternata ), collar rot ( Sclerotium rolfsii ), powdery mildew ( Eryiphe polygoni ), 7 and root-knot disease caused by Meloidogyne incognita .…”

Meloidogyne incognita is an important plant-parasitic nematode that causes significant crop losses all over the world. The primary control strategy for this pathogen is still based on nematicides, which are hazardous to human health and the environment. Considering these problems, this study aimed to determine the efficacy of different concentrations (25, 50, and 100 ppm) of silver nanoparticles against M. incognita on Trachyspermum ammi . Silver nanoparticles synthesized from Senna siamea were thoroughly characterized using various physicochemical techniques, viz., UV–visible spectrophotometer, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray analyzer (EDX). Results revealed that plants treated with 50 ppm silver nanoparticles one week before M. incognita inoculation (T 2 ) exhibited maximum and significant ( p ≤ 0.05) increases in plant growth, biochemical characteristics, and activities of defense enzymes such as peroxidase, catalase, superoxide dismutase, and ascorbate peroxidase over the inoculated control (IC) plants. Furthermore, the maximum reduction in the number of galls, egg masses, and root-knot indices was recorded in plants treated with 100 ppm silver nanoparticles (T 3 ) followed by plants treated with 50 ppm silver nanoparticles before nematode inoculation (T 2 ), over inoculated plants (IC). Anatomical studies showed accumulation of lignin in the transverse section (TS) of roots treated with 50 ppm silver nanoparticles. As a result, the present finding strongly suggests that silver nanoparticles synthesized from S. siamea had nematicidal activity, and it could be an efficient, safe, cost-effective, and affordable alternative to chemical nematicide.

“…14,15 It is also rich in carboyhydrates, protein, ash, fiber and fat contents. 16 Singh et al 17 showed that steam distilled volatile oil obtained from T. ammi composed of nine monoterpenes which include seven hydrocarbons (97.1%) and two alcohols (2.9%).The predominant, monoterpenes were γ-terpinene (35%), α-phellandrene (31.4%), o-carene (19.3%), p-mentha-1,3,8 triene (8.8%), p-cumin-7-ol (2.7%), β-pinene (1.9%), β-myrcene (0.4%), cis-myrtenol (0.2%) and Ot-pinene (0.3%). Thymol (72.03, 71.80%) is found to be the major constituent of seeds, followed by γ-terpinene and ρ-cymene; other estimated % age of nutritional compositions are protein, ash, moisture, fats, fiber, and carbohydrate.…”

Introduction: Ajwain (Trachyspermum ammi L.) seeds are derived from a herb plant of the family Apiaceae. It is also known as Ajowan caraway, bishops weed or carom and has substantial medicinal properties. Methods: The keywords of Ajwain, traditional medicine, health benefits, pharmaceutical science and health benefits were searched in Google Scholar, Scopus, ResearchGate and PubMed. Results: Ajwain oil has a wide range of medicinal applications, such as antibacterial, antifungal, antiinflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, cytotoxic, antilithiasis, nematicidal, anthelmintic, and antifilarial activities. The seeds have stimulant, sialagogue, stomachic, carminative, aromatic, antiseptic, antihypertensive, antispasmodic, antiparasitic, anthihistamine, antiscorbutic, vermicide, emmenagogue, digestive and antiseptive properties. Conclusion: Ajwain is one of the most important medicinal plants and can promote good health and serve as a nutrition therapy on the basis of traditional Asian medicine.

“…Table 2 and graph 2 displayed the average percentages of digestivesystem bacterial-quantity for In-Vivo experiment, it was found Ajwain decreased from the percentage to less than about ten for both uses, it decreased from 61.3% to 4.5% for swallowing and from boiled water extract 61.8% to 3.9%, the percent was decreased but the more effective was the boiled water extract. That found through the result that the use of seeds to drinks and cooking helps to reduce the percentage of bacteria so support individual heath at high-level region [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. signs were reduced, also by flora, and digestive-system signs, as well that finest by boiled water extract.…”

Ajwain seeds contain 50% thymol, 7% carvacrol, 35% terpinene, 25% para-cymene, pinene, and limonene. They have anti-bacterial and anti-spasmodic effects, also founding usually in healthy Saudi-habits (called Nanakhah) with cheap-price using in different ways. The aim was to prove the health protection quality of Ajwain it was tested at a high-level region; Taif, KSA to trace its effect on the bacterial quantity of buccal-cavity and digestive-system tract. The seeds samples were collected from original licensed stores, In-Vivo experiments were done twice daily for a week for each step. The bacterial-quantity method was by turbidity and inoculation using "Bacterial Modern Culture". The mean results of bacterial-quantity of buccal-cavity as chewing method at (before, during, and after) were (39.6, 17.5, and 4.6%). The using boiled water extract as a mouthwash was (38.8, 16.7, and 4.1%). The mean results of seeds swallowing on bacterial-quantity of digestive-system were (61.3, 32.5, and 4.5%); the mean results of using boiled water extract on bacterial-quantity of digestive-system were (61.8, 31.6, and 3.9%). It was clear that the effect of bacterial quantity was reduced by about half during the use and to the tenth after the trial period. It was concluded that its use can kill and reduce (bacterial-quantity of both buccal-cavity and digestive-system), that supporting individual health at high-level region. It was recommended that since it is very cheap and get easy, as well to use usually in healthy Saudi-habits at high-level region daily to clean the whole digestive-system that will support public health with cheap price.
