“…Pharmacological research also revealed that ginger has anticancer, chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic effects on a variety of tumor cell lines and on animal models (Shukla and Singh, 2007;Cheng et al, 2011). The majority of the studies highlight ginger antioxidant activity (El Ghorab et al, 2010;Mesomo et al, 2012;Oboh et al, 2012), related to the prevention of a number of diseases (Adel and Prakash, 2010;Gupta et al, 2014;Liu et al, 2014;Przygodzka et al, 2014).…”

There are various products that can be obtained from ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe) rhizomes, such as dried products, being difficult to choose the best option for antioxidant purposes. In this study, three different dried forms of ginger rhizomes (freshly dried, dried and powder dried) were characterized in terms of chemical composition including individual profiles in sugars, organic acids, fatty acids, tocopherols, and antioxidants (phenolics and flavonoids). The in vitro antioxidant properties (free radicals scavenging activity, reducing power and lipid peroxidation inhibition) of their methanolic extracts were also evaluated. The results of this study indicate that the ginger form has significant influence in chemical and antioxidant parameters of the plant; dried ginger (DG) proved to be the best choice. Overall, this study could help the consumer in the selection of the most suitable option regarding antioxidant purposes.

“…Many studies have shown that bioactive gingers compounds may be an excellent antimicrobial against various pathogens (VORAVUTHIKUNCHAI, 2007). Ginger has traditionally been employed for antibacterial activity against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria (BALOUIRI et al, 2016;GUPTA;SHARMA, 2014;SUHAD et al, 2012).…”

“…The antimicrobial activity of a 70% methanolic extract of Z. officinale was efficient against the species Staphylococcus aureus, and displayed the antimicrobial potential of the rhizome of Z. officinale against gram-negative bacteria (SILVA; FERNANDES JÚNIOR, 2010). In vitro studies have shown that active constituents of the Z. officinale rhizome inhibited the growth of the intestinal bacteria, which ferments undigested carbohydrates causing flatulence, and this process can be neutralized with ginger extract (GUPTA; SHARMA, 2014;WHITE, 2007).…”

“…Considering the variety of possible methods and solvents, it is important to evaluate the safety of the extract being assessed (GONÇALVES et al, 2014). Gupta and Sharma (2014), in addition to reporting in vitro studies with active compounds of the Z. officinale rhizome that inhibited the growth of intestinal bacteria, could also demonstrate the inhibition of the growth of species of gram-positive and gramnegative bacteria with ethanolic extract of rhizome from gingers (GUPTA; RAVISHANKAR, 2005).…”

ResumoA funcionalidade dos alimentos nutracêuticos é atribuída aos seus compostos bioativos. Estes compostos são amplamente produzidos pelos vegetais, tais como os compostos fenólicos, que possuem atividade antioxidante e/ou atividade antimicrobiana entre outras, agindo contra danos em macromoléculas como lipídeos, proteínas e ácidos nucléicos. Os metabólitos secundários das plantas, incluindo algumas classes como compostos fenólicos, alcaloides e terpenóides, possuem uma ampla variedade de atividades biológicas com potencial medicinal. Esses metabólitos secundários são considerados compostos bioativos. A família Zingiberaceae tem recebido atenção especial, por produzir muitos compostos bioativos que são úteis em alimentos como ervas e especiarias; aromatizantes e temperos; nas indústrias farmacêutica e cosmética como agentes antioxidantes e antimicrobianos. Os gengibres são reconhecidos como seguros pela American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) e não possuem efeitos colaterais quando consumidos em quantidades moderadas. Estudos recentes demonstram que além dos rizomas, as folhas e flores de algumas espécies de gengibres possuem atividade antioxidante e consequentemente um potencial medicinal. Estudos demonstram que são necessárias pesquisas in vitro e in vivo para avaliar a eficácia dos extratos do gengibre e compreender o seu papel na modulação das vias biológicas e moleculares, possibilitando assim, novas estratégias terapêuticas. Dessa forma, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo, uma revisão bibliográfica sobre a atividade antimicrobiana de Zingiber officinale Roscoe e Alpinia purpurata (Vieill.) K. Schum. (Zingiberaceae), conhecidos popularmente como gengibre e gengibre-vermelho respectivamente e seu uso na Saúde Única.

Objective: Flavonoids from the crude seeds extract of Pongamia pinnata L., dried fruit powder of Morinda citrifolia L., bark of Mangifera indica L., and rhizome of Zingiber officinale Rosc. were screened for xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibition at different concentration. The inhibitory potential of quercetin and allopurinol were used for the determination of 50% inhibitory concentration (IC 50 ) and K i values.Methods: Isolation of flavonoids from the plant extracts was processed by column chromatography and tested for XO inhibitory activity in the range of 6-800 µg/ml. Results:The results demonstrated that optimized flavonoids extract of P. pinnata L. exhibited promising XO inhibition. P. pinnata L., M. indica L., and Z. officinale Rosc. had IC 50 in the concentration of 8.74 mM, 1.09 mM, 5.4 mM and Ki 0.35 mM, 1.73 mM, 2.7 mM, respectively. Conclusion:The study showed that plant species under investigation exhibited XO inhibition by optimized flavonoid extract. P. pinnata L. indicated promising XO inhibition compared to other plant extracts. Flavonoids can be used as a potent inhibitor of XO an alternative to allopurinol.
