Cumin Essential Oil Profile General - Cumin A small, delicate,
annual herb about 50cm high with a slender stem, dark green feathery leaves and
small pink or white flowers followed by small oblong seed. Essential oil
extracted by steam distillation from the ripe seeds. Cumin has now gone out of
use in European medicine, having been replaced by caraway seed, which has a more
agreeable flavor, but it is still used to some extent in India, in native
medicine. Its principal employment is in veterinary medicine. It is limpid and
pale yellow in color, and is mainly a mixture of cymol or cymene and cuminic
aldehyde, or cyminol, which is its chief constituent. The oil is produced mainly
in India, Spain, and France.
