The seeds are more subtly fl avored than fennel or star anise. Good with apples, chestnuts, fi gs, fi sh and seafood, nuts, pumpkin and root vegetables. Combines well with allspice, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, cumin, fennel, garlic, nutmeg, pepper and star anise. BBasilasil Sweet basil has a complex sweet, spicy aroma with notes of clove and anise. The fl avor is warming, peppery and clove-like with underlying mint and anise tones. Essential to pesto and pistou.

  • Peppermint (Mentha Piperita L.) and Thyme (Thymus Vulgaris) Attenuate the Immune and Inflammatory Disorders in Rats Consumed Repeatedly Heated Palm Oil
    International Journal of Pharmaceutical and Phytopharmacological Research (eIJPPR) | April 2020 | Volume 10 | Issue 2 | Page 59-66 Nadia Nour Osman, Peppermint (Mentha piperita L.) and Thyme (Thymus vulgaris) attenuate the Immune and Inflammatory Disorders in Rats Consumed Repeatedly heated Palm oil Peppermint (Mentha piperita L.) and Thyme (Thymus vulgaris) attenuate the Immune and Inflammatory Disorders in Rats Consumed Repeatedly Heated Palm oil Nadia Nour Osman1, 2, Mashael Arif Alsharari 1, 3*, Hadeil Muhanna Alsufiani1, 4 1 Biochemistry Dept., Faculty of Science, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. 2 Food Irradiation Research Dept., National Centre for Radiation Research and Technology (NCRRT), Cairo, Egypt. 3 Chemistry Dept., Faculty of Science, Jouf University, Sakaka, Saudi Arabia. 4 Experimental Biochemistry Unit, King Fahad Medical Research Center, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. ABSTRACT The re-heating of palm oil leads to the breakdown and release of trans fatty acids (TFA) absorbed by fried food, which enters the body and can cause damage to the immune system and lead to inflammation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the protective role of Mentha piperita L. and Thymus vulgaris in alleviating the immune and inflammatory disorders in rats after chronic oxidized palm oil intake. Fifty male Wistar rats weighing between (150-200 g) were isolated into five groups: Group1, the control group, received a basal diet; Group 2 received basal diet sustained with 15%(w/w) palm oil heated for 10 minutes; inGroups 3-5, the rats were fed oxidized palm oil (OPO), the same as group 2, and received water extract of menthe (290mg/kg BW/day), thyme (500mg/kg BW/day) and their combination by gavage, respectively for 6 weeks.
