Background: Spices have a long history of both culinary use and health benefits. Ethnic spices are spices specific to a particular geographic location. In Ghana, there are varying perceptions and uses of ethnic spices which are mostly not documented. Objective: To assess the use and perceived health benefits of ethnic spices among women in Accra, Ghana. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 370 women in randomly selected churches in Accra, Ghana. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to obtain sociodemographic data and information on ethnic spice use. Chi-square test was used to determine the association between socio-demographic characteristics of participants and perceived health benefits of ethnic spice usage. Results: The most commonly consumed spices out of the 19 spices explored in this study were onion (98.4%), garlic (97.6%), ginger (96.8%) and chili pepper (84.1%). Majority of the participants perceived ginger (74.6%) and garlic (73.8%) as having health benefits. Age (p=.001) and self-reported health status (p=0.010) were significantly associated with perceived health benefits of the spices. Conclusion: Onion, garlic, ginger and chili pepper were the four most commonly consumed ethnic spices. Age and self-reported health status of participants influenced perceived health benefits of ethnic spice usage. Keywords: Spices; health benefits; perception; flavour.

“…Due to its comparative efficacy, lesser side effect, availability and relatively cheap of plant products, organic and natural products compared to the synthetically produced growth promoters, there has been an increasing interest in the use of plants, herbs, organic and natural products to improve the blood profiles and growth performance in animal production. As a result, plant products, organic and natural pr oduct s ar e conti nuousl y bei ng scrutinized and explored for their beneficial properties (Ansa 2017). One of such products is Garlic (…”

Studies have shown that garlic has medicinal, antimicrobial properties, speeds up digestion and widely used as preservatives, spice and condimentin many homes. Vitamin E on the other hand is a fat soluble vitamin with potent antioxidant properties essential for the stabilization of biological membranes, protecting cells from oxidative stress and inhibits angiogenesis. Thus, a study using thirty-six (36) pre-pubertal New Zealand White rabbit bucks was conducted to investigate the response of garlic and vitamin E supplementation on haematological indices, serum biochemistry and growth performance. The bucks were randomly assigned to four dietary treatments and replicated three times in a completely randomized design (CRD). Each dietary treatment consisted of rabbits per treatment with 3 rabbits per replicate. Four dietary treatments were formulated to meet the nutrient requirements of rabbits supplemented at 0% garlic and vitamin E (T ), 3% garlic (T ), Vitamin E (T ), and 3% garlic and Vitamin E (T ) respectively. Data collected on the growth performance, haematology and serum biochemistry parameters and on the internal organ characteristics were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results showed that significantincrease (P<0.05) were observed in final body weight, ear length, forelimb, hind- limb and body length for rabbits fed supplementation of garlic, vitamin E and its combination, while tail length, head to shoulder significantly decreases. Hematological parameters showed significant increases in red blood cellcount for vitaminE group while T was higher on MCHC. White blood cell and its differentials increased significantly on T, T and T Serum biochemical characteristics were significantly higher on total protein, globulin and creatinine; while cholesterol, glucose and ALP reduced significantly on T , T and T It could be concluded that combination of garlic and vitamin E improved performance and blood profile of rabbit bucks compared to when they are used individually.
