Spices are an important bio-nutrients for both food ingredients and nutritional supplements. From ancient times, spices have been used as food additives to enhance the taste and be flavor of food. Apart from these uses, spices also have numerous medicinal properties and used to treat several disorders that form an important part of the Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia (Indian System of Medicine). Spices have increasingly larger role to play in Indian recipes as the bactericidal, bacteriostatic, fungistatic, antifertility, anti-helminthic and other medicinal properties and believed to aid digestion. In the traditional Indian system of medicine, more than a few spices and herbs have hold and possess several medicinal properties such as antithrombotic, anti-atherosclerotic, hypolipidemic, anti-inflammatory, anti-aggregatory, eicosanoid inhibitor.

Caraway seeds from the plant Carum carvi are known as kümmel in German. They are crescent-shaped, long, and have five pale ridges. Caraway is more common in the German kitchen than cumin and is typically used whole, not ground. It has an anise-like flavor and aroma that is popular in breads (especially rye breads), cheeses, sauerkraut, and root vegetables. It also can be found in desserts, liquors, and as an ingredient in beauty products, folk medicine, and breath fresheners.

Cumin is sometimes confused with caraway. Cumin is hotter to the taste, lighter in color, and the seeds are larger than those of caraway. Cumin's distinctive flavor is strong and has a warm aroma due to its essential oil content.

It is diuretic and expectorant and used for increasing maternal milk and dysmenorrhea. Caraway has both anti-hyperglycemic and anti-hyperlipidemic activities in STZ-induced diabetic rats.

TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Safety summary

·        Hazards: skin sensitization if oxidized.

·        Cautions: old or oxidized oils should be avoided.

Organ-specific effects

·        Adverse skin reactions

Undiluted caraway oil was irritating to rabbits but was not irritating to mice or pigs; tested at 4% on 25 volunteers it was neither irritating nor sensitizing. Low-level phototoxic effects have been found for caraway oil but is are not considered significant. Autoxidation products of (p)-limonene can cause skin sensitization.

Systemic effects

·        Acute toxicity: Caraway oil acute oral LD50 in rats 3.5 mL/kg; acute dermal LD50 in rabbits 1.78 g/kg. A 1-month-old rabbit was given 60 drops of caraway oil over a few minutes. It died after being seized with convulsions.

·        Carcinogenic/anticarcinogenic potential: whether supplemented in the diet or applied to the skin, caraway oil inhibited DMBA-induced and croton oil-induced skin tumors in female mice and caused regression in established papilloma’s. Caraway oil significantly induced glutathione s-transferase activity in mouse tissues. Dietary caraway oil at 0.01% or 0.1% significantly inhibited the development of pre-malignant colon cancer lesions in rats, partly through maintaining healthy level of hepatic glutathione and CYP1A1. (p)-carvone is not a rodent carcinogen, and both carvone and (p)-limonene display anticarcinogenic activity.
