Cardamom [Elettaria cardamomum (L.) Maton is recognized
for its unique taste and aroma. As the third most expensive
spice after saffron and vanilla, Cardamom has been
used as a spice and flavoring ingredient in food and is rich
in bioactive constituents including minerals, carbohydrates,
proteins, lipids, essential oils, terpenoids, flavonoids and
carotenoids. Cardamom essential oil (CEO) and other bioactive
compounds accumulated in cardamom capsules contribute to their
characteristic aroma and utility as a novel food and nutraceutical.
CEO from capsules possesses monoterpene constituents such as
α-terpineol, 1,8-cineole, α-pinene, linalyl acetate, linalool,
and nerolidol as well as the ester of α-terpinyl acetate.
Flavonoids, anthocyanins, terpenoids, alkaloids, and other cardamom
phenolics have shown high MIC values against Campylobacter species
and reduced Bacillus subtilis spore. CEO loses its flavor rapidly
upon storing under a normal environment. The change in the aroma or
flavor could also cause changes in the constituents of its
phytochemicals.Cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum): Production,
Processing & Properties aims to create a
multidisciplinary forum of discussion on E. cardamomum, emphasizing
its botany, ethnobotanical, cultivation, horticultural practices,
post-harvest, marketability, phytochemistry, extraction protocols,
biochemistry, nutritional value, functionality, ethnomedicinal
applications and and processing specifics. The book discusses the
botanical distribution, phytochemical constituents, food
applications and biological activities of cardamom capsule extracts
and essential oil. Also, the text discusses the potential
applications of E. cardamomum in food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical
products. This book is the first of its kind, a full research work
dedicated specifically to cardamom applications and benefits that
will be of value for researchers from multiple fields.Â
