Abstract

Nigella sativa, “black seed” or “black cumin” belongs to the Ranunculaceae family. It has been applied in folk medicine since ancient times. The phytochemical contents of black cumin are of interest to researchers in agriculture, pharmacology, and energy. Nowadays, it is so popular to be considered losing weight diets. In this study, the oil content and fatty acid composition of a commercial genotype of Nigella sativa L. from Turkey besides the fixed oil antioxidant activity were evaluated. Omega-6 fatty acid was the major fatty acid in the seed oil of studied black cumin, followed by Omage-9, free acid. However, the most composition of the oil was unsaturated fatty acids and could be considered a healthy fat for daily consumption. Moreover, the seed oil showed relatively high antioxidant activity by DPPH scavenging capacity.
