Abstract |
Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is one of the oldest domesticated spices in human history. It is commonly used as a food additive and as a key component in traditional herbal medicine. The health-enhancing potential of ginger has been intensively explored, and it is considered to be safe as an herbal supplement by different regulatory authorities. It was reported that ginger could treat a myriad of ailments, including flu-related symptoms and some digestive problems, such as constipation, vomiting and ulcer. Ginger also possesses anthelmintic, anti-bacterial and anti-viral activities. Moreover, ginger was found to be active against inflammatory, allergic, degenerative, cardiovascular and metabolic disorders.
In this study, we propose a novel processing method of ginger to increase the content of minor constituents and increase biological activity.
