Abstract

 

Coriander (Coriander sativum L.) is an annual spice, herb and medicinal plant belonging to the family Umbelliferae. It has been used throughout the world since ancient times for various purposes due to its exceptional phytochemicals that are not common in other plants. Essential oils and fatty acids obtained from its dried fruit can be applied commercially in pharmaceutical, food and beverages, plastic, cosmetic, fragrance and detergent industries. Likewise, it has insecticidal activity of stored products, reduces heavy metal contamination, natural antibiotic poultry feed additive and efficient broiler growth promoter. It is also considered as a good melliferous plant due to its considerable nectar production. Though coriander is a promising versatile plant, the information and knowledge’s concerning the plant and its potential applications are scatterdly available. This hinders the proper exploitation of the coriander potentials. For contributing in addressing the existing gap, we conducted a systematic and comprehensive review through searching relevant papers in various databases. Therefore, this publication provides plenty of information summarized from over 594 germplasm obtained from over 53 countries. Moreover, the paper intends to summarize and document the past and current evidences to contribute for coriander cultivation, utilization and perhaps to create further interest in research.
