Abstract
In view of herbal medicinal values and applications of carum carvi L. (caraway seed), coriandrum sativum (coriander seed) and cuminum cyminum (cumin seed) standardization was take place by phytochemical analysis, NIR analysis and for the detection of trace elements in tested samples scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDAX) detector. The present study revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, carbohydrates, terpenoids, fats and fixed oil, phenols, tannins and coumarins responsible for their medicinal values. The NIR analysis results confirmed the presence of aromatic amines, esters, hydroxyl, alkanes, phenol, alcohol, alkenes and alkynes compound in test samples. While the scanning electron microscope study for the detection of elements showed the nano and micro size particles in test samples and the quantitative analysis by EDAX revealed the nine trace elements such as magnesium, silicon, sulfur, chloride, potassium, calcium, sodium and copper with different concentration in all three samples.
