Unhealthy lifestyles such as smoking, poor diet, and lack of exercise increase the risk of developing severe diseases due to the presence of free radicals such as peroxide anion (RO2), hydroxyl (OH), nitric oxide (NO), superoxide anion (O2-) and reactive oxygen compounds. These free radicals have the potential to cause damage to biomolecules, resulting in neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, premature ageing, and cancer. 1 Antioxidant agents have been used to scavenge free radicals in the human body. 2,3 Antioxidants are essential in reducing the harmful effects of metals that can trigger oxidative stress to cells in the body. 4 Recently, there has been a growing interest in using natural ingredients such as herbs (rosemary, oregano, marjoram, sage, basil, etc.) and spices (garlic, cloves, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, black pepper, etc.) as safer alternatives to synthetic antioxidants. 5 Generally, ginger can be distinguished based on the rhizome's scent, colour, shape, and size. The ginger varieties are classified into white, red, and small ginger. Small ginger has softer fiber than other types of ginger. Despite the small size of the rhizome, small ginger has a sharp aroma and spicy taste6. Small ginger rhizome also contains high nutrients, including starch, protein, oleoresin, and essential oils. 7,8
