Chemical profiling of essential oil ofKaempferia galangaL. germplasm from India

Aromatic ginger (Kaempferia galanga L.) extracts with ameliorative and protective potential as a functional food, beyond its flavor and nutritional benefits

“…K. galanga rhizome (KGR) was grounded coarsely in a mixer grinder (Philips, India). Powdered KGR (250 g) was hydro distilled in Clevenger apparatus at 100–105 °C for about 6 h. The condensed hydrodistillate separated and stored at −4 °C until further analysis using GC and GC/MS following the method [14]. The trans -ethyl para methoxycinnamate (EPMC) was separated and purified from oil by crystallization method.…”

“…In addition to its traditional use in south-east countries, a number of experimental studies have also demonstrated that K. galanga have antioxidant [7], cytotoxic [8], anti-inflammatory [9], sedative, [10], vasorelaxant [11], anti-angiogenic, [12], antinociceptive [1], and wound healing [13] activities. Pharmacological activities of KGR are mainly due to the presence of secondary metabolites of different nature [11,14,15]. Ethyl- p - methoxycinnamate (EPMC) is the key compound of KGR has been reported as a bioactive secondary metabolite of KGR [16].…”

Kaempferia galanga L. Zingiberaceae

“…Rhizomes: The rhizomes contain monoterpenoids, sesquiterpenoids, and phenylpropanoids (Liu et al 2014). The volatile oil from rhizome contains ethyl-trans-p-methoxycinnamate and trans-ethyl cinnamate (Tewtrakul et al 2005;Raina and Abraham 2015), methylcinnamate, carvone, eucalyptol, and pentadecane (Tewtrakul et al 2005), 2-propenoic acid, 3-(4-methoxyphenyl), ethyl ester, phthalic acid, 6-ethyloct-3-yl2-ethylhexyl ester, palmitate acid, sandaracopimaradiene, oleate acid, oktadekanoate acid, 2-[2-(4-nonylphenoxy)ethoxy]ethanol, and glycidyl stearate (Ali et al (2018). Tricyclene, α-pinene, camphene, δ-3-carene, β-cymene, 1,8-cineole, chrysanthenone, transpinocarveol, camphor, borneol, p-cymen-8-ol, eucarvone, p-anisaldehyde, transcinnamaldehyde, bornyl acetate, sabinyl acetate, α-copaene, cyperene, ɤ-elemene, trans-ethyl cinnamate, ethyl cinnamate, ɤ-muurolene, δ-cadinene, calamenene, spathulenol, caryophyllene oxide, zierone, and ethyl p-methoxycinnamate are reported from rhizome essential oil (Liu et al 2014).…”

Anti‐inflammatory effect of isopimarane diterpenoids from Kaempferia galanga

“…K. galanga powder, extracts, and constituents have been reported to operate in many biological activities such as the antiangiogenic activity (He, Yue, Lau, Ge, & But, ), anthelmintic activity (Kiuchi, Nakamura, Tsuda, Kondo, & Yoshimura, ), anti‐inflammation against carrageenan‐induced rat paw edema (Ridtitid, Saewong, Reanmongkol, & Wongnawa, ; Umar, Bin Asmawi, Sadikun, Altaf, & Iqbal, ), anti‐inflammation against IL‐6 production (Aroonrerk & Kamkaen, ), antimicrobial and antifungal (Tewtrakul, Yuenyongsawad, Kummee, & Atsawajaruwan, ), anticholangiocarcinoma activity (Amuamuta, Plengsuriyakarn, & Na‐Bangchang, ), wound healing activity in rat model (Shanbhag et al, ), and so forth. Constituents found in volatile oil are trans‐ethyl‐ p ‐methoxycinnamate, trans‐ethyl cinnamate, carvone, 1,8‐cineole, 3‐carene, borneol, camphene, pinene, eucarvone, germacrene, α‐gurjunnene, kaempferol, kaempferide, pentadecane, and so forth (Indrayan, Kurian, Tyagi, Shatru, & Rathi, ; Raina & Abraham, ; Tewtrakul et al, ). Recently, Swapana and co‐workers (2018) have reported a new unusual seco‐isopimarane, kaemgalangal A, and 12 known isopimara‐8(14),15‐diene compounds isolated from K. galanga chloroform fraction.…”
