With annual production capacity about 103.594 tons, Indonesia Review: 30-05-2020 is one of main cinnamon’s exporter especially to United States. Recently the Accepted: 13-07-2020 utilization of cinnamon is developed, where not only use as spices but also use in pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. The development of *Email: cinnamon’s use of course might lead to the market growth. But on the other [email protected] side arise an issue about coumarin content, where Cinnamomum burmannii DOI: 10.33096/jffi.v7i3.639 issued to have higher content of this hepatotoxic compound than Cinnamomum verum or Cinnamomum zeylanicum. This research result Keywords: showed that, although coumarin content of Indonesian Cinnamomum Cinnamomum burmannii; burmannii is higher than Cinnamomum zeylanicum but the difference is not polyphenol; cinamaldehyde; too significant. C. burmannii collected from Gunung. Mas, West Java has coumarin; antioxidant coumarin content of 0.0030 % which is slightly higher than C. zeylanicum (0.0017 %). This research result also shown that antioxidant activity and α glucosidase inhibition activity is related to polyphenol and flavonoid content. I. Introduction of the results of the study mentioned that Cinnamon (Cinnamomum spp) is one of the Cinnamomum burmannii has a high coumarin oldest herbs that are widely used in the food, content (2.15 g / kg, Wang et al, 2013), Indonesian pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries. The part cinnamon is slightly more difficult to enter that is widely used is the inner bark. In the United European market, which applies strict rules to limit States and European markets, two varieties of the tolerance of coumarin content. European Food cinnamon are known, namely Ceylon and Cassia Safety Authority (EFSA) provides a limit on (Blahova & Svobodova, 2012). Ceylon cinnamon is coumarin Tolerable Daily Intake (TDI) or tolerance also known as "true cinnamon" and comes from of daily consumption of 0.1 mg / kg body weight Cinnamomum verum J.S. Presl.

While Cassia cinnamon intake (TDI) tolerated is 7 mg coumarin per day. comes from several countries, one of which is With this EFSA rule, cinnamon from Sri Lanka Chinese cassia (Cinnamomum cassia Blume, (Cinnamomum zeylanicum) with much lower synonym Cinnamomum aromaticum Nees), coumarin content (0.017 g / kg, Wang et al, 2013) is cultivated mainly in Southern China, Burma more easily accepted by the European market. (Myanmar) and Vietnam. While Indonesian However, because Ceylon cinnamon is more cinnamon, which grows and is cultivated in expensive and has less strong aroma, for industrial Indonesia is Cinnamomum burmannii Blume, use with cinnamon as a scented material, cinnamon mainly originating from Sumatra (Chen et al, 2014). from Indonesia remains preferred, especially in the With an area of cinnamon plantation United States. Coumarin is a group of compounds (Cinnamomum burmannii) about 135,000 hectares containing the framework of 1.2 benzopyrone. This spread across 19 Provinces, where the largest area is compound is found in several plants, including many in West Sumatra and Jambi (80%), and the annual types of vegetables, herbs, fruits and medicinal production capacity of around 103,594 tons, plants. Generally, the content of this compound, in Indonesia is one of the main producers and exporters edible plants, is at a safe level for consumption of cinnamon in the world (Ferry, 2013).

RAY mold rot, caused by Botrytis cinerea, is one of the most economically significant Gpostharvest diseases in pomegranate fruits. The aim of the current study is to evaluate Mangifera indica, Thymus vulgaris, Origanum majorana, Salix mucronata, Cinnamomum cassia and Zingiber officinale extracts and biocontrol agents for controlling gray mold disease on pomegranate. In vitro results showed that T. vulgaris (T.v), C. cassia (C.c) and Z. officinale (Z.o) extracts possessed highly significant antifungal activities as they completely inhibited the radial growth of B. cinerea at the concentrations of 30000, 20000 and 30000 ppm, respectively. The combination of the aforementioned plant extracts and fungicide Flusilazole (Flu) overcomes the potency of Flu or the plant extracts alone specially C.c+Flu at the rate of (2:1; v/v) since it inhibited the radial growth of B. cinerea with 89.6% inhibition compared to the control. The study also proved that using the aforementioned plant extracts alone or in combination with Flu as well as the bacterial antagonists (Bacillus subtilis or Pseudomonas fluorescens) significantly reduced the loss in fruit weight. Furthermore, they also prolonged the storage period of pomegranate fruits and maintained high-quality parameters including soluble solids content and titratable acidity after cold storage at 5±1°C and 90% RH.

J.Presl] Nanda Amalesh1, Paul Nirankush1, Gupta Amartya Kumar1, Ganguly Partha*1, Banerjee Dipankar1, Singh Rahul1, Katiyar Chandrakant1 1R&D Healthcare Division, Emami Ltd., 13 B.T. Road, Belghoria, Kolkata-700 056, India ABSTRACT Traditional medical systems remain important resources of healthcare worldwide that are reported to be safe and produce minimum side effects compared to synthetic medicines. At present deforestation and extinction of many species and incorrect identification of many plants has resulted in adulteration of raw drugs which results in lesser efficacy of the finished formulations? This article throws light on the concepts of adulteration of Naluka/Cassia (Cinnamomum cassia) with Tvak (Cinnamomum zeylanicum). Morphologically near about same, and Tvak is typically more expensive than the Naluka, so it is easy to adulterate Tvak with inferior variety of Naluka to reduce the cost. But there is no instantaneous ready method available to distinguish between Tvak and Naluka. A rough distinction can be made between Tvak and Naluka depending upon the Coumarin content [1] which requires sophisticated analytical technique which involves both time and cost. In the present study, an easy attempt has been made to distinguish between Tvak and Naluka using simple pharmacognostical evaluation.These simple microscopic and macroscopic characters can be used as an effective tool for the identification of true Tvak sample which will help to maintain the quality of herbal drugs by avoiding adulteration of Naluka.

Traditional screening that involves isolation and identification/quantitation is tedious, time consuming, and generates a significant amount of chemical waste. Here, we present a simple, fast, and green strategy to assess 0.1% wt/wt quantities of useful compounds in plants/spices using pressurized hot ≥ water extraction using a household espresso machine followed by chemical analysis using capillary electrophoresis. Three demonstrations with polygodial, cinnamaldehyde, coumarin, and shikimic acid as target metabolites are shown. Direct analysis of extracts was by the developed micellar electrokinetic chromatography and capillary zone electrophoresis methods. The approach, which can be implemented in less developed countries, can process many samples within a day, much faster than traditional techniques that would normally take at least a day. Finally, 0.8–1.1% wt/wt levels of shikimic acid were found in Tasmanian-pepperberry and Tasmanian-fuschia leaves via the approach.

  • Looking at Herbs and Spices
    OEB 59 – Plants and Human Affairs Lab 5: Spices and Essential Oils Objectives of this lab: 1) Connect commonly used herbs and spices to the plants and plant parts from which they are derived 2) Compare Old World versus New World herbs and spices 3) Learn about fun facts about allspice, peppercorns, cinnamon, mace, and nutmeg 4) Compare the aromas and therapeutic uses of essential oils from different species Part I: Looking at herbs and spices Herbs are usually aromatic leaves from temperate plants, while spices are aromatic fruits, flowers, bark, or other plant parts of tropical origin. Both are associated with mainly cooking, but also in medicine, as natural dyes, and in the perfume and cosmetic industries. Old World versus New World Herbs and spices from the Old World include: cloves, nutmeg, mace, peppercorns (green, black and white), mustards, cardamon, cinnamon, star anise, turmeric, dill, chervil, celery seed, caraway, cumin, anise, peppermint, spearmint, marjoram, oregano, and thyme. Herbs and spices from the New World include: vanilla, allspice, pink pepper, and chili pepper. TO DO: What part of the plant do particular herbs and spices come from? Take a look at the herbs and spices on display, and answer the following four questions: (1) Name four herbs or spices derived from flowers, seeds, or fruits (2) Name two herbs or spices derived from leaves (3) Name one herb or spice derived from bark (4) Name one herb or spice derived from roots (5) What part of which plant species is used to obtain ginger? History of spices "No evidence is available of how primitive humans actually discovered herbs and spices, but we can assume that they were attracted to some of the pleasant aromas of these plants and found different uses for them.
