Abstract excerpt
Nigella is a medicinal cum spice plant and is celebrated for its minute, distinctive black seeds and is native to Africa, Asia and the Mediterranean region. The present study aimed to assess variation in oil yield, biochemical composition, phytochemical traits, metabolite diversity, fatty acid profile, and nutritional indices using multivariate analysis. Oil yield displayed a broad range, from 9.96% in NSC‑16 to...
