has a powerful, somewhat bitter aroma. it is used in breads, fish,

Red and yellow fibers | [Occurrence]
Saffron is found in Europe and Asia. | [Definition]
Extractives and their physically modified derivatives. Crocus sativus, Iridaceae. | [Composition]
The dried stigmas contain picrocrocin, crocin, vitamins B and B2 and a small amount of essential oil (ca 0.30%) that is either solvent-extracted or sometimes steam-distilled for specific uses only. Crocin is a mixture of glycosides. The presence of 2,2,6-trimethyl-4,6 cyclohexidienal causes the characteristic spicy, warm odor of the dried product and tinctures; crocin yields the characteristic, bright orange-yellow color. | [Biological Activity]
Saffron is a crude source of the carotenoid antioxidants crocein and crocetinas well as other carotenoids and monoterpene aldehydes. Saffron has been studied for use as an anticancer and chemopreventive agent and for its effects on antioxidant defense system pathways. A study in mice reported treatment with saffron reduced lipid peroxidation and caspase-3 activitywhile increasing total brain antioxidant activity. |
