- Celery seeds, which are
found in the flowers, are very small, tan to dark brown, and have a
strong, pleasant smell.Celery seeds contain several substances including
volatile oils, flavonoids, coumarins, and linoleic
acid.
- Celery seed is often
used in pickling. It is a good companion in bread, rolls, pastries, egg
dishes especially omelets, hamburger, stews, soup, chowder, meat loaf,
stewed tomatoes, tomato juice, clam juice, tomato sauce, potato
and green salads, salad dressings, tuna and salmon salad, vegetables,
stuffings, sauerkraut.
- Celery seeds are used
as a stimulant and tonic in asthma and for liver diseases. As a domestic
medicine, seeds are used as nervine, sedative and tonic. The celery seed
oil is used as an anti-spasmodic and nerve stimulant. The oil has been
successfully employed in rheumatoid arthritis and probably acts as an
intestinal antiseptic.
- Celery seed is
used primarily as a diuretic to promote the excretion of urine. The
diuretic action combined with the presence of anti-bacterial compounds
in celery seed also make it useful in treating urinary tract
infections.
- An essential oil is
obtained from seeds or seed chaff by a process of crushing and steam
distillation. The essential oil of celery seed includes d-limonene,
selinene, sesquiterpene alcohols, sedanolide, and sedanonic
anhydride.
- Celery seed oil is
traded with increasing demand on world markets. It has a pervasive,
spicy, warm and very persistent odour, produced primarily by two
lactones, 3-n-butylphthalide and 3-n-butyl-4,5-dihydrophthalide.
- This oil is produced by
steam distillation of the seeds and is used primarily for flavouring of
foods. Trace amounts are used in fine perfumes. Leaf oil, extracts of
seed and roots and seed oleoresin are additional products from celery.
Celery leaf oil contains more monoterpenoids and
less
sesquiterpenoids than the seed oil.
- Celery herb oil has
potential as a flavour and fragrance product. Both celery seed oil and
celery seed oleoresin have FEMA GRAS registration enabling trade as
flavour products within the USA. Trade is established in international
markets.
- California produces
about 75 percent of the nation's celery crop, followed by Florida and
Texas.Michigan celery production yields approximately $14678 annually
(based on a five-year average). Michigan is ranked second in the nation
for celery production, with 6.3% of the national commodity.
- Current data are
difficult to obtain but one current estimate of the annual consumption
of celery seed oil is 40 tonnes/annum, with some 50% of this produced in
India. Other producers are USA, Southern France, Holland, Hungary and
China.
