Abstract：
Coriander, caraway, and mystical cumin are famous for their aromatic properties and widely used in Moroccan cuisine. The nutritional/phytochemical composition of their seeds (used for food flavoring and preservation) were compared. Their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, cytotoxic and hepatotoxic effects were also explored. The fat content was similar among the samples (13%), with monounsaturated fatty acids being predominant. The coriander and mystical cumin seeds were extremely rich in C18:1n9c (81 and 85%, respectively) while, in the caraway, C18:1n12 (25%) was found together with C18:1n9c (32%). The caraway seeds also presented a higher proportion of C18:2n6c (34%) than the other seeds (13 and 8%, correspondingly). γ-Tocotrienol was the major vitamin E form in all the samples. The caraway seeds contained double the amount of protein (~18%) compared to the other seeds (~8%) but, qualitatively, the amino acid profiles among all seeds were similar. The seeds were also rich in dietary fiber (40-53%); however, differences were found in their fiber profiles. Caraway showed the highest antioxidant profile and anti-inflammatory activity and an LC-DAD-ESI/MSn analysis revealed great differences in the phenolic profiles of the samples. Cytotoxicity (NCI-H460, AGS, MCF-7, and CaCo2) and hepatotoxicity (RAW 264.7) were not observed. In sum, besides their flavoring/preservation properties, these seeds are also relevant source of bioactive compounds with health-promoting activities.
摘要：
香菜,caraway,和神秘的孜然因其芳香特性而闻名，并广泛用于摩洛哥美食。比较了其种子的营养/植物化学成分（用于食品调味和保存）。他们的抗氧化剂，抗炎,细胞毒性和肝毒性作用也被探索。样品中的脂肪含量相似(13%)，以单不饱和脂肪酸为主。香菜和神秘的孜然种子在C18：1n9c中极为丰富（81和85％，分别)，而在caraway,C18:1n12(25%)与C18:1n9c(32%)一起发现。香菜种子的C18：2n6c比例（34％）也高于其他种子（13％和8％，相应地)。γ-生育三烯酚是所有样品中的主要维生素E形式。与其他种子（〜8％）相比，香菜种子含有两倍的蛋白质（〜18％），但是，定性,所有种子的氨基酸谱相似。种子还富含膳食纤维（40-53％）；但是，在他们的纤维分布中发现了差异。Caraway显示出最高的抗氧化特性和抗炎活性，LC-DAD-ESI/MSn分析显示出样品的酚类特性差异很大。细胞毒性（NCI-H460，AGS，未观察到MCF-7和CaCo2）和肝毒性（RAW264.7）。总之,除了它们的调味/保存特性，这些种子也是具有促进健康活性的生物活性化合物的相关来源。
