The essential oils extracted from the seeds of seven spices, Anethum graveolens, Carum capticum, Coriandrum sativum, Cuminum cyminum, Foeniculum vulgare, Pimpinella anisum and Seseli indicum have been studied for antibacterial activity against eight pathogenic bacteria, causing infections in the human body. It has been found that the oil of C. capticum is very effective against all tested bacteria. The oil of C. cyminum and A. graveolens also gave similar results. These oils are equally or more effective when compared with standard antibiotics, at a very low concentration.
对从七种香料种子中提取的挥发油进行了研究，这七种香料分别是莳萝、葛缕子、芫荽、孜然、茴香、茴芹和印度邪蒿，研究其对八种可导致人体感染的致病细菌的抗菌活性。结果发现，葛缕子的挥发油对所有测试细菌都非常有效。孜然和莳萝的挥发油也给出了类似的结果。与标准抗生素相比，这些挥发油在极低浓度下同样有效或更有效。
