Cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.; Family: Umbelliferae) is a seed spice of commercial importance as well as it is a potential medicinal herb with immense therapeutic uses not withstanding its significance in health food formulations. It has a distinctive strong flavor and its warm aroma is due to its essential oil content. Its main constituent of aroma compounds is cuminaldehyde and cuminic alcohol. Rajasthan and Gujarat are also known as “Seed Spices Bowl” and contributes more than 80% of total seed spices production in India. The suitable climatic setup as well as characteristics of soil are a boon for Rajasthan. These conditions not only suited for the production of cumin production but also reduces the disease and insect infestation to the crop. The all above production factor contributes significantly for cumin cultivation growth horizontally as well as vertically in state. This will be not only help in doubling the income of farmers but also enhances the economy of the state. Not Available |
