Comparing five Indian spices for lifespan extension and anti-aging effects using chemical analysis and biological tests in yeast

Aqueous extracts from 5 dietary spices may influence lifespan extension in yeast.

• The spices studied include Trachyspermum ammi, Cuminum cyminum, Trigonella foenum-graecum, Foeniculum vulgare, and Nigella sativa.
• Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain BY4741) was used as a model organism to evaluate the effects of these extracts.
• The investigation focuses on the potential geroprotective effects of the spices on longevity.
• The role of Indian dietary spices in modulating lifespan is largely unexplored.
