| Abstract: | Since antiquity spices have been considered virtually
indispensable in the culinary arts, they are used to flavour foods and beverages
all over the world. Spices add savor to insipid dishes, a tang to beverages and
are appetizer as well. Some are also used in perfumery and cosmetics whereas
others heal through medicine. Their preservative, antiseptic, antibiotic and
anti-oxygenic properties are also esteemed throughout the world. India is one of
the major spice producing and exporting country in the world. According to
latest figure compiled by spices board, Government of India, Cochin, the export
of spices from India during 1998-99 earned valuable foreign exchange worth over
Rs.16500 million. Thus, India alone contributes about 20-25 % of the total world
trade in spice. Though they are produced in India, few of them are neglected for
their commercial use as compared to others. |
