Handbook of Coriander
(Coriandrum sativum)
Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L., family Umbelliferae/Apiaceae) is one of the most popular
spices globally. Different parts of Coriandrum sativum are edible and widely used as a seasoning
due to their unique avor and aroma. Coriandrum sativum medical uses have been recognized since
ancient times. Coriander leaves (cilantro) and coriander fruit (seed) are used in different ethnic
foodstuffs, meat and poultry dishes, soup, pudding, bread, and seafood dishes. Coriandrum sativum
is rich in linalool, vitamin A, vitamin B12, vitamin C, folate, and phenolics. Coriandrum sativum
xed oil is rich in sterols, tocols, and bioactive phytochemicals. Petroselinic acid is the major fatty
acid in Coriandrum sativum xed oil and exhibits health-promoting traits.
Coriandrum sativum is recommended as a food preservative to replace synthetic antioxidants
because of its antioxidant and antibacterial traits. Furthermore, Coriandrum sativum cilantro and
seeds are rich in water-soluble and lipid-soluble phytochemicals with unique anticancer, anxio-
lytic, neuroprotective, migraine-relieving, hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic, anticonvulsant, analgesic,
and anti-inammatory traits. Those medical benets and their integration into daily life render
Coriandrum sativum an excellent functional food. Regarding the cosmetic industry, Coriandrum
sativum is used as an ingredient in conventional Ayurvedic cosmetic formulations to normalize skin
color. In addition, Coriandrum sativum volatile oil nds use as an ingredient in perfumes.
