  • Extractions of Fixed Oil and Thymoquinone Rich Fractions (TQRF)
    Publication number: 20130253210
    Abstract: The present invention reported that SFE is suitable for Nigella sativa seeds oil extraction and fractionation. TQRF that were produced through SFE extractions (600 bars/40° C.) and fractionations (100-200 bars/40-60° C.) possessed high level of TQ and antioxidant activity. SFE fractionation efficiently concentrates the TQ content and antioxidant activity of Nigella sativa seeds oil in short time and low cost manners without using any hazardous organic solvents.

  • CARDIOPROTECTIVE EFFECTS OF NUTRACEUTICALS ISOLATED FROM NIGELLA SATIVA SEEDS
    Publication number: 20110244060
    Abstract: This invention relates to a rich antioxidant nutraceuticals prepared from Nigella sativa seeds for the treatment and prevention of hypercholesterolemia. These nutraceuticals when taken enterally has shown successfully to have hypocholesterolmic, antiatherogenic and antioxidant activities using in vitro and in vivo study. The invention provides a clear explanation on the molecular mechanism by which nutraceuticals prepared from the Nigella sativa seeds exerted its hypocholesterolemic effect.
