| Product Description: |
Ajwain is not very common
in our days; its usage is almost confined to
Central Asia and Northern India, particularly
the North West (Punjab, Gujarat). Ajwain also
enjoys some popularity in the Arabic world and
is found in berbere, a spice mixture of Ethiopia
which both shows Indian and Arabic heritage. |

| Botany: |
| |
The essential oil (2.5 to 5% in the dried
fruits) is dominated by thymol (35 to 60%); furthermore, a-pinene,
p-cymene, limonene and ?-terpinene have been found. |
| |
In the essential oil distilled from aerial
parts (flowers, leaves) of ajwain grown in Algeria, however,
isothymol (50%) was found to be the dominant constituent before
p-cymene, thymol, limonene and ?-terpinene. Note, however,
that the name isothymol is not well defined and might refer
to both 2-isopropyl-4-methylphenol and 3-isopropyl-6-methylphenol
(carvacrol). |
| |
From South Indian ajwain fruits, almost
pure thymol has been isolated (98%), but the leaf oil was
found to be composed of monoterpenoids and sesquiterpenoids:
43% cadinene, 11% longifolene, 5% thymol, 3% camphor and others. |
| |
| Uses & Application: |
| |
Ajwain is much used as a medical plant
in Ayurvedic medicine (India). Mainly, it helps against diseases
of the digestive tract and fewer. In the West, thymol is used
in medicines against cough and throat irritation. |
