What is Cumin Essential Oil Extraction Study about?

Piyush Pathak completed a chemistry project on studying the effect of potassium bisulphate as a food preservative under various conditions. The project involved extracting essential oil from cumin seeds using steam distillation. Major components identified in the cumin oil were aldehydes, γ-teripinen, ρ-mentha-1,3-dien-7-al, β-pinene, and ρ-mentha-1,4-diene-7-al. Finer grinding of cumin seeds before distillation improved oil yield. The complete extraction process took 6-7 hours.
