The dry fruits are known as coriander seeds. Coriander is famous worldwide as a spice in many foods as well as beverages.
India is the largest producer but also a large importer to supplement their large domestic requirements. Over recent years the increased demand for seeds has meant less has been further processed into oil. The global seed prices have increased significantly in recent times ensuring the oil prices follow.
Coriander essential oil consists of compounds like Borneol, Cineole, Cymene, Dipentene, Linalool, Phellandrene, Pinene, Terpineol and Terpinolene, and these are all attributes that contribute to its place in the healthcare markets.
Some health benefits of coriander essential oil can be attributed to its properties as an analgesic, aphrodisiac, antispasmodic, carminative, depurative, deodorant, digestive, fungicidal, lipolytic, stimulant and stomachic substance.
Coriander is native to southwestern Asia, southern Europe, and northern Africa. Its chemical composition is comparable to that of lavender. A green, leafy herb, it grows up to three feet in height. The leaves and seeds of the plant are high in linalool content, lending them medicinal properties. Coriander seed oil is produced from the seeds of the plant via steam distillation. There is a significant gap between supply and demand. During 2021–22, massive quantities of oil were distilled and exported. However in 2023–24, the distillation volumes will come down. Raw material availability is curtailed due to government sanctions and restrictions on bank payments. A new crop cycle is about to commence, though lower volumes are expected this season. Late spring frost in growing areas has adversely impacted the crop. No immediate relief is expected in the oil supply, which will lead to an increase in the price.
