BRIEFING

 Black Cumin Seed Thymoquinone Oil. This proposal is based on the version of the monograph official as of September 1, 2023. On the basis of comments received, the following revisions are being proposed:

1. Update the limits of thymoquinone, 4-cymene, and carvacrol in the Definition and Composition test by adding a significant figure to the current limits.

2. In Identification A, add a cross-reference to the new Method III test in Identification of Fixed Oils by Thin-Layer Chromatography 〈202〉 [proposed in PF 50(5)].

3. Add the tests for Specific Gravity and Water Determination to the Specific Tests section.

 Additionally, minor editorial changes have been made to update the monograph to current USP style.
