N2  - This study aimed to identify the phenolic compounds, investigate the 
antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anticancer activity of cinnamon, sumac or 
turmeric extracts; crude (ethanol) and successive extracts (petroleum ether, 
ethyl acetate and ethanol), synthesis of silver nanoparticles to study the 
physical characteristics and antioxidant, antimicrobial and anticancer 
activities of nanoparticles and produce cinnamon, sumac or turmeric 
crackers, comparing imbalanced diets with the crackers to increase their 
usefulness in resisting some of the side effects of these diets. The results 
demonstrated that the ethanolic and crude extracts gave the highest 
antioxidant activity using DPPH● (IC ranging from 0.631 to 0.895 

50
μg/mL) and ABTS (IC ranging from 0.903 to 0.995 μg/mL). Cinnamon 

50
ethanolic extract (CEE) contains the highest concentrations of cinnamic and 
salicylic acids, while, turmeric ethanolic extract (TEE) has the highest 
concentration of Gallic acid followed by sumac crude extract (SCE). Also, 
sumac ethanolic extract (SEE) has the highest antimicrobial activity against 
B. subtilis, S. aureus, P. aeruginosa and C. albicans, while CEE has the 
highest antimicrobial activity against A. fumigatus but SCE has the largest 
inhibition zone on E. coli; compared with other extracts. Turmeric crude 
extract (TCE) has the highest anticancer activity against (PC3) and (MCF7) 
cell lines (LC = 30.62 and 33.53 μg/mL, respectively), on the other hand, 

50
TEE has the highest anticancer activity against (HCT116) cell line (LC = 

50
27.81 μg/mL). Compared to crude turmeric extract, TNPs extract shows 
greater antioxidant, anticancer, and antibacterial activity. The results 
demonstrated that feeding with HF and HC diets exerts multifarious effects 
on liver weight, glucose, hemoglobin, cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL and 
ALT levels. Rats fed on cinnamon, sumac or turmeric-fortified crackers 
resisted some of the side effects associated with HF and HC diets.; المستخلصات الإيثانولية والخام للكركم والقرفة والسماق أعطت أعلى نشاط مضاد للأكسدة باستخدام DPPH و ABTS. تميز مستخلص السماق الإيثانولي بأعلى نشاط ضد B. subtilis, S. aureus, P. aeruginosa and C. albicans ، بينما تميز مستخلص القرفة الإيثانولي بأعلى نشاط ضدA. fumigatus ، وتميز مستخلص السماق الخام بأكبر تثبيط على E. coli ؛ مقارنةً بالمستخلصات الأخرى. تميز مستخلص الكركم الخام بأعلى نشاط ضد خلايا (PC3) و(MCF7)، بينما تميز مستخلص الكركم الإيثانولي بأعلى نشاط ضد خلايا (HCT116). تبين ان اتباع نظام غذائي عالى الدهون او الكربوهيدرات له تأثيرات متعددة على وزن الكبد، وسكر الدم، والهيموغلوبين، والكوليسترول، والدهون الثلاثية، وLDL وAST. قاومت البسكويت المدعم بالكركم والسماق والقرفة بعض هذه التأثيرات
