Description About Coriander Extract
Coriander (Coriandrum sativum) is an annual herb in the family Apiaceae. Coriander is native to southern Europe and North Africa to southwestern Asia. It is a soft, hairless plant growing to 50 centimetres (20 in) tall. The leaves are variable in shape, broadly lobed at the base of the plant, and slender and feathery higher on the flowering stems. The flowers are borne in small umbels, white or very pale pink, asymmetrical, with the petals pointing away from the center of the umbel longer (5-6 mm) than those pointing towards it (only 1-3 mm long). The fruit is a globular dry schizocarp 3-5 mm diameter.
Coriander Extract is rich in nutrition and contains vitamin C, carotene, vitamin B1, B2 and so on. It also contains rich minerals, such as calcium, iron, phosphorus, magnesium and so on. Its volatile oil contains mannyl alcohol, ananaldehyde, nonaldehyde and linalool, which can be appetizer and refresh the spleen. The Coriander Extract contains potassium malate and so on. The amount of vitamin C contained in coriander is much higher than that of ordinary vegetables. The average human consumption of 7~10 grams of fragrant vegetable leaves can meet the human demand for vitamin C; caraway carotenoids are more than 10 times higher than tomatoes, beans, cucumbers and so on.
