Abstract
Historically, India has been recognized as “Land of Spices” and
also known as to the world “The home of spices”. Spice is a dried seed,
fruit, root, bark or vegetative substance primarily used for flavoring or
coloring food. Ancient people used spices, not only to enhance flavour
to foods and beverages, but, are some of the time utilized as solutions,
disinfectants, incenses, stimulants, religious ritual, cosmetics or
perfume production. Most of these spices are mixtures of both volatile
and non-volatile nutritious components and have been used as a
therapeutic meal for generations. The power of seed spices to impart
biological activity is progressively reviving as a research area in human
health. Secondary metabolites, also known as phytochemicals, are
naturally occurring, physiologically active chemical compounds found in
plants that operate as a natural defence mechanism for host plants and
have previously been exploited as medications, perfumes, and flavour
components. (Rathore et al. 2013).
