Cuminum cyminum L is a herbaceous annual plant belonging to the family Umbelliferae and has been long used commercially as a traditional flavoring in a number of ethnic cuisines and also in food industries. Moreover, in oils possess high antifungal and antibacterial activities against various pathogenic population (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, 1995: Rahman et al., 2000), and hence, has also been used for preserving spicy foods and other food products. A number of investigations revealed that some major active components contained in cumin oils e g cuminal and cuminic alcohol are of very strong antimicrobial and antioxidative properties with a broad spectrum (Rahman et al.. 2000). Despite all unique advantages of essential oils including cumin oils, however, they are sensitive materials which can easily suffer degradation in the presence of oxygen, light and moderate temperatures. Therefore, the major goals in formulations are (a) to protect them from degradation and losses by evaporation and (b) to achieve a controlled release. Essentials oils exist liquid form at room temperature: thus, the simplest encapsulation strategy would be emulsifying/dispersing the formulation in an aqueous solution carrier material
