TH26204U - A method for extracting substances from cumin seeds to control catfish whiskers. - Google Patents

Abstract

------14/03/2568------(OCR) OCR 09WP The extraction process from cumin seeds for controlling catfish whiskers weed involves the following steps: Cumin seeds are dried and finely ground in a centrifuge, then soaked in ethanol at a ratio of dried cumin seed powder to ethanol of 1:2 by weight to volume (W/V). The extracted liquid is then vaporized using a centrifuge to obtain cumin seed extract. A cumin seed extract at a concentration of 20 g/L completely inhibits the growth of catfish whiskers seedlings in four aspects (stem height, stem width, leaf width, and leaf length) (achieving the highest average inhibition percentage of weed seedling growth at 100%).

------14/03/2568------(OCR) OCR 09WP 1. The method for extracting substances from cumin seeds to control catfish whiskers involves the following steps: a. Select complete cumin seeds, removing any damaged parts. The seeds are then dried at 60 degrees Celsius for 3 days and weighed at 1,000 grams. b. The dried cumin seeds from step a are ground finely in a grinder. Then, they are soaked in ethanol. The ratio of dried cumin powder to ethanol is 1:2 by weight to volume (W/V), meaning 1,000 grams of dried cumin powder to 2,000 milliliters of ethanol. The mixture is then left to stand for 3 days. Afterwards, the ethanol-soaked cumin seed extract is filtered twice using cheesecloth to obtain the cumin seed extract. The solvent is then evaporated using a centrifugal evaporator. The resulting cumin seed extract is stored in a dark glass bottle and sealed tightly.
