India, with a rich history & legacy of Ayurveda, has been using this ancient repository of plants and their extracts for their medicinal properties. The objective of this study is to study the important chemicals and evaluate the potential of Trachyspermum ammi seeds for their medicinal properties. T. ammi is a native of Egypt and has been cultivated in different regions in South & West Asia such as Iraq, Afghanistan, and India. The results of our analysis showed the presence of flavonoids & saponins in T. aami. Similarly, alkaloids, phenols, glycosides, & carbohydrates also seemed to be present. Further, proteins, terpenoids, & tannins presence were found in certain extracts. These constituents have been known to show different medicinal properties for humans and their presence clearly indicates that extracts from T. ammi can be leveraged for them. Further, antimicrobial activity was also observed and thus it can serve as a source of obtaining novel compounds for the treatment of infectious diseases.
