Abstract

Cumin is an important spice containing about 2.5 to 4 % essential oil. The effect of particle sizes of cumin on distillation time was studied using a completely randomized design. Six levels of particle size, i. e. whole cumin (2.33 mm), 1000 μm, 711 μm, 503 μm, 356 μm, 251 μm of cumin were studied. Particle size of 356 μm and 5 h of distillation time is recommended for higher recovery and good quality of essential oil.
