Bu çalışmanın amacı, kimyon olarak bilinen ve genel olarak baharat sektöründe kullanımı olan türlerin doğal yayılışları, sistematikteki yeri, morfolojik ve tarımsal karakterleri, uçucu yağ içerikleri, diğer aktif etken maddeleri ve üretim, kullanım ve ticari verilerini karşılaştırmalı olarak değerlendirmektir. Bu derlemede, Kimyon (Cuminum cyminum L.), Frenk kimyonu (Carum carvi L.), Kefe kimyonu (Laser trilobum Borkh.), Kala zeera (Bunium persicum (Boiss.) B.Fedtsch), Kara kimyon (Bunium bulbocastanum L.) ve Beyaz kimyon (Cuminum setifolium (Boiss.) Rech. f.) türlerine ait literatür verileri incelenmiştir. Kimyon olarak bilinen türlerin doğal olarak yayılışları, botanik özellikleri, üretimi, kullanıldığı sektörler başta olmak üzere pek çok konuda farklılıklar bulunmaktadır. Kimyon olarak C. cyminum ve C. carvi türünde bilimsel çalışmalar yapılmış olmakla birlikte, diğer türler üzerinde yeterince çalışmalara ulaşılamamıştır. Önemli potansiyelleri olduğu düşünülen kimyon grubuna dâhil bitkilerle ilgili bilimsel ve diğer çalışmalara bu derlemenin de katkı sunması hedeflenmiştir.

Plant Species Known as Cumin and Their Evaluation

Öz

The aim of this study is to comparatively evaluate the natural distribution, systematic place, morphological and agricultural characters, essential oil contents, other active ingredients and production, usage and commercial data of the species known as cumin and generally used in the spice industry. In this review, literature data for Cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.), Caraway (Carum carvi L.), Three-lobed cumin (Laser trilobum Borkh.), Kala zeera (Bunium persicum (Boiss.) B.Fedtsch), Black cumin (Bunium bulbocastanum L.) and White cumin (Cuminum setifolium (Boiss.) Rech. f.) species were examined. There are many differences in the species known as cumin, including their natural distribution, botanical characteristics, production, and the sectors in which they are used. Although scientific studies have been conducted on C. cyminum and C. carvi species as cumin, sufficient studies on other species have not been found. It is aimed that this compilation will contribute to the scientific and other studies on plants included in the cumin group, which are thought to have significant potential.
