Herbs and spices have been an essential part in human life for thousands of years that is used at a domestic and industrial level as flavoring, preservation, and coloring agent in nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics products [1]. Spice crop is being affected by insect pests, fungal, and nonpathogenic diseases causing production constraints. Therefore, the quality of spices is very low. For this purpose, agrochemicals are used to improve the quality and production of spices
The spices and herbs are classified on the basis of botanical analogies or families or parts of the plant. Chili or hot pepper, dry white and black peppercorns, ginger root, mustard seeds, and cilantro belong to the category of hot spices. Aromatic spices include Pimenta, myrtle pepper, Elettaria, Chinese cinnamon, Cinnamomum, clove, fenugreek, and white and black cumin. Moreover, herbs include estragon, dill weed, Mediterranean herbs, and sweet basil [9]. These spices are most commonly used in the food processing for different purposes on a domestic and large scale
The production of pest-free, high in quality, and clean spice crops is very important for international globalization. Therefore, organic spice crops are produced that cost 20–50% more than traditionally grown spices. These crops are good in quality, free of pesticides, and chemical residues. Moreover, appropriate agricultural techniques are adopted to reduce pathogens and non-pathogens diseases. In processing industries, quality assurance procedures such as HACCP must be applied as well as suitable packing material and storage practices for maintaining spice quality
They are used in food products for various purposes. The antioxidant properties of herbs and spices act as food preservatives against oxidative degradation and also improve the stability of products. The use of herbs and spices as natural preservatives is gaining more attention. Ground black pepper, for example, has been shown to prevent oxidative degradation in processed meat. Antioxidants also help the body to fight cardiovascular disease, some types of cancers (epithelial), and other ailments including arthritis and asthma [22]. Phenolic compounds of black pepper, oregano, thyme, and marjoram are used to protect against heart disease and Crohn’s disease. organic spice crops are produced that cost 20–50% more than traditionally grown spices.
