CHEMISTRY OF CUMIN AND IT'S MEDICINAL USES

CUMIN

Scientific name:- Cuminum cyminum

Family:- Apiaceae

The major organic chemical compound present in the cumin is cumin aldehyde.

Medicinal properties:-

Anti-inflammatory, bactericidal, fungistatic, antifertility antiplatelet antidiabetic antifungal antiparkinson.

Medicinal uses:-

ü Cumin has been used as anti-inflammatory, diuretic, carminative, and atipasmodic.

ü It is used in the treatment of toothache and epilepsy. also used as an aid for treating dyspepsia, jaundice, diarrhea, flatulence, and indigestion.

ü Cumin activates salivary glands in the mouth and facilitates the primary digestion of the food and produces carminative effects.

ü Cumin is used in healing the cuts and bleeding and is used as an antiseptic.

ü Cumin also stimulates the secretion of enzymes from the pancreas which can help absorb nutrients into the system and also increase the power of the liver, ability to detoxify the human body. anticarcinogenic property of cumin reduces the risk of stomach and liver tumors and also boosts the immune system.

ü Cumin is very rich in iron( above 66mg in each 100g) which is more than five times the daily requirement of iron for an adult.

ü It has vitamin e is good for the skin. It keeps the skin young and glowing.

ü Cumin is beneficial in treating weak memory or lack of concentration, insect bites.

ü Cumin is also used to lower blood sugar, reduce seizures, strengthen bones, and treat the eye.

ü The presence of phytoestrogens in cumin has shown the anti-osteoporotic effects of reducing the urinary calcium excretion, accumulation of calcium content, and mechanical strength of bones.

METHYL ISOCYANATE (BHOPAL DISASTER CHEMICAL EQUATION )

Bhopal disaster was occurred by one simple chemical reaction in methyl isocyanate storage tank . (note-MIC-METHYL ISOCYANATE) MIC is used for the production of carbamate pesticides and also rubber and adhesives. MIC is a colorless liquid and pungent order . it's boiling point is 38.3 degree Celsius (100.9 F) approximately our body higher temperature . MIC is reacted with water ,this leads to formation of 1,3 dimethyl urea and carbon dioxide with evolution of heat . this reaction is continued, this leads to increases the temperature of MIC stored tank . at that temperature all MIC was transforming liquid to gas form . slowly MIC gas was evolved out through the smoke Aerial tower . because of high molecular weight of the MIC and high denser than the air ,it starts spread lower feet to ground . this two things only kills the lacks of people .1) is reaction with water 2.) is high molecular weight of gas.

REASON FOR ADDING GYPSUM IN CEMENT

upon mixing cement powder with water ,part of the tricalcium aluminate and gypsum dissolved and react together forming ettringite . the ettringite crystal on the surface of the cement particals are so fine that they cannot bridge the gap between structure .this is the basis of the delay in solidification upon adding gypsum to cement . if we mix cement with water without adding gypsum the tricalcium aluminate immediately reacts with water to form calcium aluminate hydrate . which fills the gap between the cement particals with large crystals and leads to very rapid solidification of the cement slurry
