The intention is to ensure the quality and purity of the large quantities of cumin and coriander exported from Gujarat State through the port. According to Spice Board chairman, Dr. A. Jayathilak this will be the first such facility in Gujarat. Dr Jayathilak said” To meet the global standards of seed spices exported from Gujarat, the board has decided to set up a testing lab at Kandla Port at a cost of INR15 crore. Six such laboratories are already functioning across the country, including at Mumbai, Cochin, Delhi and Chennai”. Gujarat is a leading state in producing and exporting seed spices such as cumin, coriander, fennel and fenugreek. However, quality of these spices remains a major cause of concern. Dr Jayathilak continued “Quality of Indian spices is a key issue for us. In 2014, sixteen consignments of our spices were returned by Europe for sub-standard quality. That number was 180 in 2011. In my opinion, if our exporters maintain quality, then we can easily capture 100percent of world’s market”. The Vice chairman of the Board, Bhaskar Shah, said that cumin from Unjha in Gujarat caters to 90 percent of the world’s consumption, while the second spot goes to Syria, which produces cumin only for exports. “In 2013-14, cumin export from India was around 50,000 tons, which suddenly shot up to 1.5lakh tons last year. It was mainly because Syria failed to export due to the ISIS crisis. Now, to maintain that lead, Indian exporters have to work hard on quality” the Vice Chairman said. “I have to admit” he continued “that Indian exporters are not very keen to maintain quality. Thus it is possible that Syria may bounce back and snatch that market from us a s Syrian spices are way ahead of us in terms of quality. Thus, it is high time for Indian exporters to focus on quality”. Cumin exports from India rise as Syria crisis persists The Times of India reports increasing exports of cumin from India fuelled by the ongoing crisis in Syria. The Vice Chairman of the Spices Board of India, Bhaskar Shah, said “Syria is our major competitor in jeera (cumin) export market. Due to the growing threat of ISIS and ongoing crisis in Syria, buyers chose to import from India fuelling the export of the commodity in 2014-15”. Latest data from the Spices Board indicate that cumin exports in 2014-15 stood at 155 000 tons against a target of 100,000 tons. Almost 90% of the cumin produced in India is grown in Gujarat and Rajasthan towards the northwest of the country. Total production varies between 250,000 and 400,000 tons annually. The other major producers of cumin seed are Syria and Turkey. The planting in Syria has been disrupted by the crisis and exporters are wary of booking contracts now. Consequently, Far East markets are looking to India for supply. However, the increase in exports is also a result of the lower prices prevalent in the market last year and as prices have risen in 2015, exports have fallen back somewhat. 1 Kerala cardamom planters struggle Kochi traders report difficulties in the Kerala cardamom production. A shortage of workers has led to difficulties for planters with demands for increased wages leading to disputes. Workers are demanding a daily wage of INR500 (USD7.7/day) compared to the more current range of INR350- 400 / day. The demands follow a successful agitation by workers on the tea plantations. The harvesting problems were compounded during talks to resolve the differences by a return of the monsoon. Heavy rains threatened the harvest. We wait to see the outcome. Earlier forecasts had suggested a crop equivalent to the 12,000 – 13,000 tons harvested last season. Turkish poppy seed import to India still denied Turkish broker, Turkey Dalal, reports (http://www.hksturkey.com/reports-on-turkish-white-poppy- seeds.htm) on the market difficulties in face of the continued ban on importing Turkish poppy seeds to India. Turkey Dalal reports that FOB values have slipped from USD3,000 / ton to USD2,500/ ton as India, the major buyer of Turkish poppy seeds, is no longer in the market. Simultaneously, prices in India are rising as stocks of Turkish poppy seed decline and the Indian Spices Board report prices up 10% on the year at USD5.20 /kg. The problems arise from April earlier this year when the Indian government banned the import of white poppy seed from Turkey. The ban was introduced in a move to protect the poppy farmers in states such as Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. They grow poppies for the legitimate opium business where sales of the seeds, known as Khas khas, have provided a useful supplementary income. Lately, with changes in the legitimate trade for opium products, and under increasing pressure from illegal imports of the resin from Afghanistan and Pakistan, farmers have become increasingly dependent on the sale of the seeds for their survival. However, imports from Turkey are more competitive and in consequence the Indian poppy farmers find their incomes dwindling. Representations by the farmers to the Government have resulted in restrictions on imports from Turkey over the last two years imposed by the Central Bureau of Narcotics. Meanwhile, in Turkey the Turkish Grain Board, who manage the state monopoly on opium, has announced that 2015 poppy seed production reached 30,750 tons of which about 80% is white poppy seeds and the balance blue. As the ban persist further difficulties are expected both at origin and in the Indian market. 2 Market Dynamics Pepper – A mixed trend this month. Indonesia export prices drifted down during October while Malaysian FOB values moved up and Vietnamese black pepper prices moved sideways. In the European markets spot values remain firm, especially for small quantities with the correct microbiological and pesticide reports. Forwards expectations are for a weakening market as the new crop starts coming in during Q1 of 2016.

    2 1. Introduction Spices constitute an important group of agricultural produce. They are used in manufactures of medicines, cosmetics, condiments, sweets, beverages and preservatives. Many value added products such as oils and oleoresins, curry powders, beverages, pickles etc. are also produced from them. Almost all countries in the world including those which do not produce consume spices or spice products. Thus they have an important place in international market. India is one of the largest producers and exporters of spices in the world. According to the Spices Board of India, there are fifty two varieties of spices cultivated in India. Pepper, cardamom, ginger, turmeric, nutmeg, clove, tamarind etc. are important among them. There is a total area of 2.3 million hectares of land under spices cultivation in India. Its annual production is estimated at 27 lakh tonnes valued at Rs. 1300 crores. More than 2.5 lakh farmers in rural areas of India are dependent on spices cultivation for livelihood and employment. The country has a share of about 44 per cent in quantity and 36 per cent in value in world spices trade. The state of Kerala, situated on the south western tip of India, is also noted for the cultivation of spices. A large variety of spices such as pepper, cardamom, turmeric, ginger, tamarind, clove, cinnamon, vanilla etc are grown in the state in most of its districts. Among the spices cultivated in Kerala, black pepper popularly known as ‘black gold’ and cardamom, the ‘queen of spices’ are the two major ones. Kerala accounted for 95 per cent of the total pepper production in India in the year 2009-10 and its share in the cardamom production of the country during this period was as high as 78 per cent.

    Spices form the basis of food pairing in Indian cuisine Anupam Jaina,†, Rakhi N Kb,† and Ganesh Baglerb,* Affiliations: aCentre for System Science, Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur, Jodhpur, Rajasthan 342011, India. bCentre for Biologically Inspired System Science, Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur, Jodhpur, Rajasthan 342011, India. †These authors contributed equally to this work *Corresponding author: E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract Culinary practices are influenced by climate, culture, history and geography. Molecular composition of recipes in a cuisine reveals patterns in food preferences. Indian cuisine encompasses a number of diverse sub-cuisines separated by geographies, climates and cultures. Its culinary system has a long history of health-centric dietary practices focused on disease prevention and promotion of health. We study food pairing in recipes of Indian cuisine to show that, in contrast to positive food pairing reported in some Western cuisines, Indian cuisine has a strong signature of negative food pairing; more the extent of flavor sharing between any two ingredients, lesser their co-occurrence. This feature is independent of recipe size and is not explained by ingredient category-based recipe constitution alone. Ingredient frequency emerged as the dominant factor specifying the characteristic flavor sharing pattern of the cuisine. Spices, individually and as a category, form the basis of ingredient composition in Indian cuisine. We also present a culinary evolution model which reproduces ingredient use distribution as well as negative food pairing of the cuisine. Our study provides a basis for designing novel signature recipes, healthy recipe alterations and recipe recommender systems. Introduction Culinary practices are shaped by complex interplay of culture, climate, geography and genetics (1–6).

In addition, the total antioxidant capacity of the seeds was evaluated using the photochemiluminescent assay. The food seeds were subjected to lipid extraction and converted into fatty acid methyl esters before the gas chromatography analysis. In all food seeds, the saturated (SFAs), monounsaturated (MUFAs) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) were identified, respectively. PUFAs were the most abundant fatty acids (61.2% 0.07% and 84.8% 0.08% ± ± of total fatty acids), with the highest content in flax and hemp seed oil. Also, high amounts of omega-3 from PUFAs were determined in flax and hempseed oil. Based on the obtained results the sunflower, sesame and poppy seeds are good sources of omega-6, while flax and hemp seeds are good sources of omega-3.

  • Poppy Seed (Papaver Somniferum)
    Internet Symposium on Food Allergens 3(2):2001 http://www.food-allergens.de Allergen Data Collection: Poppy Seed (Papaver somniferum) ............................................................... Authors in alphabetical order [contact information] Matthias BESLER (Hamburg, Germany) Sue L. HEFLE (Lincoln, NE, USA) Erika JENSEN-JAROLIM (Vienna, Austria) Abstract The poppy plant is grown predominantly in Central Asia and the Mediterranean Area. The unripe capsules are used in the production of opium, while the mature poppy seeds used in the food industry are free of opium. Poppy seeds are traditionally used as ingredients and for garnishing of cakes and bread. Additionally the seeds are a source of edible oil, which is also used in high quality paint. Allergy to poppy seeds is rare. However, during recent years there have been several reports of allergic reactions after ingestion of poppy seeds. The clinical spectrum of reactions ranges from milder oral symptoms to life-threatening anaphylactic reactions. Interestingly almost all poppy seed allergic individuals have a concomitant sensitization to nuts as confirmed by skin tests and specific serum IgE. An IgE-binding glycoprotein with a molecular mass of 45 kDa has been identified as the major allergen in poppy seeds. Cross-reactivity of poppy seed allergens to hazelnut and rye flour on the one hand and on the other hand to pollens (birch, timothy grass, and mugwort) could be demonstrated. Sensitization to poppy pollen seems to be unimportant. Detailed information on prevalence and symptoms
