“…As an important plant with economic, ornamental, and even edible and medicinal values, it has attracted attention from multiple scientific fields. It is a rich source of nutrients such as protein, vitamins, minerals, fat, and crude fiber [7][8][9]. It has attracted increasing interest from nutrition researchers and health-conscious consumers.…”

Zingiber officinale Roscoe (ginger) is a widely distributed plant with a long history of cultivation and consumption. Ginger can be used as a spice, condiment, food, nutrition, and as an herb. Significantly, the polysaccharides extracted from ginger show surprising and satisfactory biological activity, which explains the various benefits of ginger on human health, including anti-influenza, anti-colitis, anti-tussive, anti-oxidant, anti-tumor effects. Here, we systematically review the major studies on the extraction and purification of polysaccharides from ginger in recent years, the characterization of their chemical structure, biological activity, and structure–activity relationships, and the applications of ginger polysaccharides in different fields. This article will update and deepen the understanding of ginger polysaccharide and provide a theoretical basis for its further research and application in human health and product development.

“…Major producers are India, China, Nigeria, Indonesia, Bangladesh, etc. In India, Karnataka, Mizoram, Orissa, Madhya Pradesh, and Kerala repeatedly account for the produce as dry (Bag 2018). At the same time, other states like Maharashtra, West Bengal, Meghalaya, and Arunachal Pradesh produce fresh ginger.…”

Ginger is one of the cash crops grown worldwide, and consumed daily as a spice food, and utilized as Ayurvedic medicine. Soft-rot or rhizome-rot, is a major rhizome-deteriorating fungal disease caused by various fungi like Fusarium spp. and Pythium spp. in ginger, leading to huge yield losses and economic losses. This study reported in vitro antifungal activity of Phoma herbarum, cell-free extract-mediated copper oxide nanoparticles (CuONPs) against Pythium and Fusarium isolates from soft-rot infected ginger, identified at the genus level microscopically. CuONPs were detected by a visible color change from blue to dark brick red precipitate and characterized by Ultra Violet (UV)-visible spectrophotometry (absorbance maxima at 630 nm) and Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (average size 83 nm). Stability was confirmed by Zeta potential measurement (-23.5 mV), and Face Centered Cubic crystalline structure was elucidated by X-ray diffractometry, and roughly spherical crystals were visualized by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM). Fourier Transform Infra-red (FTIR) spectroscopy showed the presence of various functional groups that stabilized CuONPs. The in vitro study showed significant antifungal activity of mycogenic CuONPs against test fungi, which was substantially comparable with a chemical fungicide, i.e., mancozeb. Accordingly, the findings supported the application of mycogenic CuONPs as a cutting-edge antifungal agent in the direction of sustainable agriculture.

“…Rhizomes from both crops have anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties [3,4]. Furthermore, ginger is widely used as a flavor additive in food and beverage products [5,6], and turmeric is often used as a coloring agent in cooking [7,8]. In 2021, the import values of ginger and turmeric rhizomes in the U.S. were USD 170 million and USD ~63 million, respectively, and import values continue to grow [9,10].…”

Strategies to Reduce Radiation Stress in Open-Field Ginger and Turmeric Production

et al. 2022

Excess solar radiation can negatively affect growth and rhizome yield of ginger (Zingiber officinale) and turmeric (Curcuma longa) plants. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of 60% shade nets (Experiment 1) as well as white and red kaolin sprays during two production stages (early establishment vs. entire cycle) (Experiment 2) on field-grown ginger and turmeric plants. In Experiment 1, plants were propagated from seed rhizomes (R) or second-generation rhizomes from tissue-cultured plants (2GR), while only R were used in Experiment 2. There were no differences in rhizome yield in response to shade in Experiment 1, with mean values of 644 and 692 g in ginger and turmeric, respectively. Overall, 2GR ginger plants produced a higher rhizome yield (880 g) than R plants (425 g), but no yield differences were measured in turmeric. In Experiment 2, for both species and regardless of kaolin color, sprays applied during the entire cycle increased photosynthesis and stomatal conductance and reduced leaf temperature and transpiration compared to control. Rhizome yield was also up to 87% higher in ginger and 47% higher in turmeric plants sprayed with kaolin. Spraying plants with white kaolin during the early season establishment of these crops can be an effective strategy to reduce radiation stress for open-field production.
