Coriander(C. sativum L.) belonging to the family Umbelli ferae/Apiaceae is a glabrous aromatic, herbaceous annual plant which has a long history as a culinary herb being the source of aroma compounds and EOs with biologically active components possessing antibacterial, antifungal and antioxidant activities and thus C. sativum is useful in food preparation(as a flavouring agent and adjuvant) and preservation as well in preventing food borne diseases and food spoilage C sativum provides two types of herbal raw materials-- fruits and leaves, the main biologically active substance of which is EO. Coriander will be seeds and added to dishes as an aromatic spice, which at the same time act as digestive agent accelerating the digestion process. The yield of C sativum EO and its chemical composition undergoes changes during onto- genesis lil, which affects the aroma of the plant, and thus the coriander fruit aroma is completely different from the aroma of the herb 12]. Immature fruits and leaves have an unpleasant odour called a"stink bug smell" which is due to trans-tridecen contained in the oil.
