Coriandrum sativum L.: A Review on Ethnopharmacology, Phytochemistry, and Cardiovascular Benefits.

Coriandrum sativum (C. sativum), belonging to the Apiaceae (Umbelliferae) family, is widely recognized for its uses in culinary and traditional medicine. C. sativum contains various phytochemicals such as polyphenols, vitamins, and many phytosterols, which account for its properties including anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, and analgesic effects. The cardiovascular benefits of C. sativum have not been summarized before, hence this review aims to further evaluate and discuss its effectiveness in cardiovascular diseases, according to the recent literature. An electronic search for literature was carried out using the following databases: PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, preprint platforms, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. Articles were gathered from the inception of the database until August 2021. Moreover, the traditional uses and phytochemistry of coriander were surveyed in the original resources and summarized. As a result, most of the studies that cover cardiovascular benefits and fulfilled the eligibility criteria were in vivo, while only a few were in vitro and clinical studies. In conclusion, C. sativum can be deemed a functional food due to its wide range of cardiovascular benefits such as antihypertensive, anti-atherogenic, antiarrhythmic, hypolipidemic as well as cardioprotective effects.

Evaluation of bioactivity of linalool-rich essential oils from Ocimum basilucum and Coriandrum sativum varieties.

Essential oils from Ocimum basilicum L. and Coriandrum sativum L. varieties originating from Turkey were investigated for their antimicrobial properties. The antimicrobial effects of the oil varieties were evaluated by the disc diffusion and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) methods against eight bacteria and three fungi. The compositions of the essential oils were analyzed and identified by GC and GC-MS. O. basilicum, C. sativum var. macrocarpum and var. microcarpum oils revealed the presence of linalool (54.4%), eugenol (9.6%), methyl eugenol (7.6%); linalool (78.8%), gamma-terpinene (6.0%), nerol acetate (3.5%); and linalool (90.6%), and nerol acetate (3.3%) as the major components, respectively. The oils exhibited antibacterial activity ranging from 1.25 to 10 microL disc(-1) against the test organisms with inhibition zones of 9.5-39.0 mm and minimal inhibitory concentrations values in the range 0.5- > or =1 microL/L. Linalool, eugenol, and methyl eugenol at 1.25 microL disc(-1) had antimicrobial effects on all microorganisms, giving inhibition zones ranging from 7 to 19 mm.

Qualidade fisiológica de sementes de coentro [Coriandrum sativum (L. )] / Physiologic quality of cilantro seeds [Coriandrum sativum (L. )]

A qualidade das sementes esta relacionada de forma direta ao seu potencial fisiológico, representado pela germinação e/ou vigor, expressando sua capacidade de originar plântulas normais. O objetivo do estudo foi a análise dos efeitos da temperatura e do tempo de exposição ao teste de envelhecimento acelerado sobre os parâmetros: germinação, germinação na primeira contagem, emergência, Índice de velocidade de emergência, comprimento de parte aérea e massa seca. O ensaio foi conduzido no delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com quatro repetições. As sementes foram submetidas à dois métodos de envelhecimento acelerado: o tradicional com água destilada e outro com solução saturada de 40 g NaCl 100 mL-1 de água, em duas temperaturas (38 ºC e 41 ºC) e em três períodos de exposição (48, 72 e 96 horas). Melhor se pode verificar o potencial fisiológico das sementes de coentro, quando submetido às condições estressantes: na temperatura de 41 °C com o período de exposição de 96 h (Teste envelhecimento acelerado tradicional) e na temperatura de 41 ºC com período de exposição de 48 h (com solução saturada). Os testes de germinação e primeira contagem evidenciaram diferenças na qualidade fisiológica inicial das sementes em função dos tratamentos aplicados.

The quality quality of the seeds this related of direct form to it physiologic potential, acted by the germination and/or energy, expressing it capacity to originate normal plantules. The objective of the study was the analysis of the effects of the temperature and of the time of exhibition to the test of accelerated aging on the parameters: germination, germination in the first counting, emergency, Index of emergency speed, length of aerial part and mass dries. The rehearsal was driven in the delineamento entirely casualizado, with four repetitions. The seeds were submitted to two methods of accelerated aging: the traditional with distilled water and other with saturated solution of 40 g NaCl 100 mL-1 of water, in two temperatures (38 ºC and 41 ºC) and in three exhibition periods (48, 72 and 96 hours). Better the physiologic potential of the cilantro seeds can be verified, when submitted to the stressful conditions: in the temperature of 41 °C with the period of exhibition of 96 h (it Tests traditional aging) and in the temperature of 41 °C with period of exhibition of 48 h (with saturated solution). The germination tests and first counting evidenced differences in the quality physiologic initial of the seeds in function of the applied treatments.
