Acetylcholine and choline in common spices

Aqueous extracts obtained from seven commonly used spices (cardamon, coriander, cumin, black pepper, red pepper, anise and fennel) showed cholinomimetic effects when tested on rat blood pressure, rat jejunum and frog rectus abdominis preparations. This effect was observed mostly when the spices were roasted. Chemical estimation using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry confirmed the presence of large amounts of acetylcholine and its precursor choline.
