“…This result is in agreement with those reported by Tejasari [15] (10.2%), Tewtrakul and Subhadhirasakul [22] (11.4% and 10.4%), and Ahui et al [26] (11%). However, it is higher than those obtained by Mascolo et al [6] (2.8%), Alfaro et al [27] (3.6, 3.2, and 0.27%), and Goyal and Kadnur [28] (4.6 and 4.3%).…”

Three different biochemical test systems were chosen based on their solubility to study the antioxidant activity of ginger extracts. Reducing power and DPPH . scavenging activity tests were considered to produce hydrophilic environments and the H 2 O 2 test was considered as creating a lipophilic environment. The average yields were 10.23 ± 1.02% and 0.48 ± 0.19% for oleoresin and essential oil, respectively. The content of total phenols was 67.6 ± 1.08 mg GAE/g of dry extract. In terms of EC 50 , in hydrophilic environment standards, it showed the highest effects compared to ginger extracts, with oleoresin presenting more activity than essential oil. In contrast, except for quercetin, essential oil showed the best scavenging activity in inhibiting H 2 O 2 compared to all other antioxidants. The present work demonstrated that, when using reducing power, DPPH· free radical scavenging and H 2 O 2 scavenging assays, the same ginger extracts exhibit different antioxidant activities, which were affected not only by the extract itself but also by the chemical environment (hydrophilic/lipophilic).

“…It is distributed in Bangladesh, India, Malaysia, Nepal and Srilanka (Anonymous, 1976). It has been reported that plants from this family have antiinflammatory (Jaganath and Ng, 2000;Somchit and Shukriyah, 2003), anti-ulceration (Mascolo et al, 1989), anti-oxidant (Agrawal et al, 2000) and antimicrobial properties (Nakatani, 2000). It is used to treat stomach aches in Indonesian traditional medicine under the name Jamu (Burkill, 1966).…”

Zingiber zerumbet (L.) Smith leaf and rhizome oils, obtained by hydrodistillation, were analyzed by gas chromatography mass spectroscopy (GC-MS). Twentynine components were identified in the leaf oil. The major components were zerumbone (37.0%); a-caryophyllene (16.4%) and camphene (9.2%). Thirty components were identified in rhizome oil with the main components being in zerumbone (46.8%); a-caryophyllene (19.0%) and 1,5,5,8-tetramethyl-12-oxabicyclo[9.1.0]dodeca-3,7-diene (4.3%). The compositions of both oils varied qualitatively and quantitatively.

“…The concentrations of its active ingredients may differ with growing conditions. Gingerols possess analgesic, sedative, anti-pyretic and anti-bacterial effects in-vitro and in animals (Mascolo, 1989;Ojewole et al, 2006). The constituents of [6]-gingerol and [12]-gingerol, which are isolated from the rhizome, have shown antibacterial activities against selected periodontal bacteria (Park et al, 2008;Rahmani et al, 2014).…”

It has been established that conventional root canal irrigants cause detrimental effect on the physico-chemical properties of root dentin. This study aims to determine the effect of a novel root irrigant, ginger or Zingiber officinale Roscoe essential oil on root dentin microhardness. Eighty root halves of extracted human teeth were used and prepared by embedding them individually in autopolymerizing acrylic resin. These samples were then divided into four groups (n = 20 each), i.e., i) 0.5% Z. officinale Roscoe oil, ii) 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl, positive control), iii) 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA, positive control) and iv) normal saline (negative control). Dentin microhardness was measured using Vickers Microhardness Tester with a 50 g load and a 10-second dwell time, before and after immersion in respective solutions for 5 minutes. Measurements were taken in Vickers hardness number (VHN). All samples showed reduction in the microhardness reading; with Z. officinale Roscoe: 34.24 to 25.89, NaOCl: 31.47 to 26.34, EDTA: 33.08 to 26.04 and saline: 29.82 to 27.61 VHN. Although there was significant reduction within the Z. officinale Roscoe group (p < 0.001), the change was indifferent when compared among groups (post hoc Tukey's HSD test p > 0.05). Within the limitations of this study, Zingiber officinale Roscoe essential oil does alter dentin microhardness but to a similar extent as NaOCl and EDTA.
