“…Furthermore, C. longa rhizomes were characterized by a higher content of macronutrients such as Ca, Mg and Na. On the other hand, Z. officinale rhizomes had a higher content of K. Both C. longa and Z. officinale rhizomes contained a high amount of Mg in comparison with natural raw materials such as (mg kg −1 d.w.) cinnamon, 652; cumin, 568; or black pepper, 544 40 . In the case of micronutrients, only slight differences were found between their amounts in C. longa and Z officinale , except for Mn (Fig.…”

“…4(b)). Thus the study confirms that the rhizomes of C. longa and Z. officinale constitute a rich source of ferulic and isochlorogenic acid compared to other natural raw materials, such as cumin (21 and 86 mg kg −1 d.w., respectively), cinnamon or black pepper, which according to Lu et al 40,43 do not contain these acids. The analysis of organic compounds in the natural raw material samples did not show any significant correlation between the amount of determined compound and the form of the raw material.…”

BACKGROUND The study determined the content of selected bioelements, toxic metals and phenolic acids occurring in Curcuma longa L. and Zingiber officinale Rosc. Natural raw materials in the form of powder, slices, dried and fresh rootstock, tablets and capsules were analyzed. To determine the actual bioavailability of the metals and phenolic acids present in the raw materials, they were extracted into artificial digestive juices (artificial gastric and intestinal juices). RESULTS The maximum amounts of bioelements found in turmeric were as follows (mg kg−1 dry weight): Ca, 1911; Cu, 10.4; Fe, 248; K, 123; Mg, 1896; Mn, 181; Na, 332; Zn, 242. On the other hand, the maximum amounts of these bioelements found in ginger were as follows (mg kg−1 dry weight): Ca, 287; Cu, 7.4; Fe, 113; K, 2903; Mg, 1162; Mn, 11.3; Na, 1678; Zn, 186. It was found that bioelements from all the tested samples of raw materials were released to artificial digestive juices. CONCLUSION The amount of substances extracted to digestive juices from the analyzed raw materials varied depending on their form. The highest content of bioelements was found in the fresh rhizomes of turmeric and ginger. On the other hand, powdered rhizome was characterized by the highest bioavailability of elements for humans. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry

The objective of this study was to determine the heavy metal contents of some common spices commercially available in the North Shewa Zone, Oromia region, Ethiopia. Korarima seeds (Aframomumcorrorima), ginger rhizomes (Zingibero cinale), red pepper fruit (Capsicum annum), and turmeric rhizomes(Curcuma longa) samples were randomly collected from the Fiche open market. These spices samples were digested using a mixture of 3 mL of HNO 3 (69-72%) and 1 mL of HClO 4 (70%). The content of heavy metals (Fe, Zn, Cu, Cr, Mn, Ni, Cd, and Pb) in spices was determined by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). The results obtained showed that the concentrations of heavy metals in the korarima, red pepper, ginger and turmeric samples in mg kg − 1 dry weight were in the range of Fe (38.7-98.9), Mn (10.5-257.3), Zn (7.3-29.2), Cu (1.7-6.5), Cr (5.4-9.7), Cd (1.5-2.9), Pb (14.5-28.4) and Ni (3.9-6.7. The heavy metal contents in korarima, red pepper, ginger, and turmeric samples were compared with the maximum values given by the World Health Organisation (WHO) in the vegetables. Accordingly, Fe, Zn, Cu, Cr, Mn, Ni, and Cd values in the spice samples were found to be lower than the maximum limit of WHO, while the levels of Pb in four spices samples were higher than WHO permissible limit. Moreover, Mn (only in ginger) exceeded the maximum allowable concentrations among spices. This study shows that consumption of korarima, red pepper, ginger, and turmeric may have a serious health threat to consumers due to the high content of lead and manganese in spices. Therefore, it is suggested that further study be conducted on spices samples based on the origin of cultivation to determine which hotspot is responsible for high levels of contamination of lead and manganese to protect consumers.
