Abstract

The following is a summary of the morphology, nutritional properties, and food quality of the medicinal plant Trigonella foenum-graecum. Trigonella foenum-graecum has been reported to have antiviral, antimicrobial, hypotensive, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antitumor effects. Shows reduced cell viability of cancer cells exposed to fenugreek seed oil. Fenugreek oils and extracts have been found to be very important for food chemistry and nutritional value as natural agents due to their excellent antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal activities in food, water, and as food additives discussed below.

Keywords

Steroid, saponin, antimicrobial, diabetes, emulsifier, reproductive diseases.
