“…The other edible Zingiberaceae species found at Oc Eo-galangal (A. galanga), fingerroot (B. rotunda), and sand ginger (K. galanga)-are all native to tropical Asia and widely cultivated today in Southeast Asia. Their precise origins are uncertain (41,42), but it is possible that galangal originated in Java (38), fingerroot in Sumatra and Java (2,43), and sand ginger less precisely in either South or Southeast Asia (44) (Fig. 9).…”

The global spice trade has played an essential role in world history. However, because of poor preservation conditions, archaeobotanical remains of spices have been limited in archaeological contexts until now. This study reports evidence for spice processing from the archaeological site of Oc Eo in southern Vietnam, an entrepôt of the state of Funan that was occupied during the early centuries CE. Analysis of plant microremains recovered from the surfaces of Oc Eo grinding stone tools thought to be of South Asian origin has identified culinary spices that include turmeric, ginger, fingerroot, sand ginger, galangal, clove, nutmeg, and cinnamon. These spices are indispensable ingredients used in the making of curry in South Asia today. We suggest that South Asian migrants or visitors introduced this culinary tradition into Southeast Asia during the period of early trade contact via the Indian Ocean, commencing about 2000 years ago.

“…Acorus calamus is commonly known as sweet flag, Bacha or Jerangau Putih [1]. Asarone is a naturally occurring phenylpropanoid usually found in the Acoraceae (Acorus) and Aristolochiacease (Asarum) plant families [2][3][4][5][6][7].…”

In this study, the extraction efficiency of β-asarone from Malaysian Acorus calamus from Acoraceae family using conventional solvent extraction and ultrasound-assisted extraction techniques was compared. The results showed that the ultrasound-assisted extraction technique significantly improves the extraction yields and process feasibility without changing the structure of the active compound, i.e., β-asarone. The extraction yield increment was found to be ~2.5-fold and ~1.6-fold at 1:100 and 1:50 solid-to-solvent ratio, at 30% applied sonication power. The positive impact of sonication can also be observed for both mechanistic stages of extraction, i.e., the washing and diffusion stages, due to the favorable physical effect of acoustic cavitations. The observation was supported by the SEM images of the plant residue. The characterization of the extract was carried out using HPLC, NMR, UV and IR techniques. In conclusion, ultrasound assistance increases the extraction efficiency by ~2.5-fold even at only 30% applied ultrasonic power at a 1:100 solid-to-solvent ratio. The present study also provides an efficient and simple method for accurate direct dosing of Acorus calamus extracts to an application.

“…DC. belongs to the genus Zanthoxylum of family Rutaceae ( Seidemann, 2005 ; Rivera et al, 2014 ), and its underground roots (ZN) are used as the medicinal part recorded in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia ( China Pharmacopoeia Commission, 2020 ). ZN has excellent curative effects, such as for the treatment of toothache, stomachache, traumatism, and rheumatoid arthritis.…”

Zanthoxylum nitidum (Roxb.) DC. (ZN), with strong effects of anti-inflammation and antioxidant activities is treated as a core herb in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) preparation for treating stomachache, toothache, and rheumatoid arthritis. However, the active ingredients of ZN are not fully clarified due to its chemical complexity. In the present study, a double spectrum–effect analysis strategy was developed and applied to explore the bioactive components in herbs, and ZN was used as an example. Here, the chemical components in ZN were rapidly and comprehensively profiled based on the mass defect filtering-based structure classification (MDFSC) and diagnostic fragment-ion-based extension approaches. Furthermore, the fingerprints of 20 batches of ZN samples were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography, and the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities of the 20 batches of ZN samples were studied. Finally, the partial least squares regression (PLSR), gray relational analysis models, and Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient (SRCC) were applied to discover the bioactive compounds in ZN. As a result, a total of 48 compounds were identified or tentatively characterized in ZN, including 35 alkaloids, seven coumarins, three phenolic acids, two flavonoids, and one lignan. The results achieved by three prediction models indicated that peaks 4, 12, and 17 were the potential anti-inflammatory compounds in ZN, whereas peaks 3, 5, 7, 12, and 13 were involved in the antioxidant activity. Among them, peaks 4, 5, 7, and 12 were identified as nitidine, chelerythrine, hesperidin, and oxynitidine by comparison with the standards and other references. The data in the current study achieved by double spectrum–effect analysis strategy had great importance to improve the quality standardization of ZN, and the method might be an efficiency tool for the discovery of active components in a complex system, such as TCMs.
