Proportional analysis on Invitro antioxidant and antidiabetic properties of three ginger varieties
Journal Title: International Journal of Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary Studies (IJIMS) - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe) and Mango-ginger (Curcuma amada) are reported asdistinguished and extensively used spices that contain several remarkable bioactive constituents that are responsible forupholdingits health benefits.In this study, the invitro antioxidant and antidiabetic effects of the aqueous extracts from the rhizomes of threevarieties (Young, Mature and Mango ginger) were assessed in an effort to liken and validate their medicinal potential. Antioxidant activities were assessed using the DPPH, FRAP and Lipid peroxidation assays. The antidiabetic activity was established using α-glucosidase and α- amylase inhibition assays. This study produced results which corroborate with the findings of a great deal of the previous work in this field. The results of the present study revealed that though all the three extracts presented significant antioxidant activities it was more obvious in mature ginger than the young and mango ginger. The present finding also uncovered that the rhizome extractsefficiently inhibits both α-glucosidase and α-amylase enzymes invitro in a dose dependent manner with mature ginger demonstrating greater inhibition potential. This may be attributed to its rich phytochemistry. Thus, concluding that among the selected varieties of ginger, mature ginger has imperative medicinal prospective.
