“…The antioxidant action of ginger has been proposed as one of the major possible mechanisms for protection of the plant against radiation and a number of toxic agents, such as cisplatin, and as anti-ulcer drugs (Haksar et al, 2006). Halvorsen et al (2006) reported that ginger had the highest antioxidant capacity among the foods tested using FRAP in their study.…”

“…Du et al (2009) reported that antioxidant capacity measured by FRAP and DPPH methods was highly correlated to total phenol content. Moreover, previous studies showed that gingerols were the main bioactive and antioxidant compounds in ginger (Al-Amin et al 2006;Ojewole 2006;Haksar et al 2006). In the present study, the decrease of total phenols and gingerols led to a decrease in the antioxidant capacity in HHP-treated and UHTtreated CGJs, emphasizing that total phenols and gingerols were the main antioxidant compounds in ginger.…”

The effects of high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) at 500 MPa for 10 min and ultrahigh temperature (UHT) at 110°C for 8.6 s on the quality of cloudy ginger juice (CGJ) were investigated during storage for 91 days at 4 and 25°C. The quality aspects studied were microbial stability and selected properties, including pH, total soluble solids (TSS), titratable acidity (TA), total phenols, gingerols, antioxidant capacity, color, and aroma composition. The results showed that HHP treatment led to a 3.0 log cycle reduction of microbial load but did not influence pH, TSS, TA, antioxidant capacity, and color (day 0). Total phenol content increased by 5.31 % after HHP treatment but decreased significantly by 14.74 % after UHT treatment (day 0). Gingerols increased by 14.43 and 14.18 % after HHP and UHT treatments (day 0), respectively. Monoterpenoids, which are the main volatile aroma compounds, did not change significantly after HHP treatment but decreased significantly by 2.27 % after UHT treatment (day 0). During storage, the decreases in total phenols, gingerols, and antioxidant capacity in the UHTtreated GCJ were more noticeable than those in the HHPtreated GCJ. Kinetic data of changes in total phenols, gingerols, and antioxidant capacity fitted into the combined model well. The changes in antioxidant capacity were positively and significantly correlated to total phenols and gingerols. Color darkened and aroma faded in both HHPtreated and UHT-treated CGJs during storage. The quality changes in samples stored at 25°C were also more noticeable than those stored at 4°C.

“…For instance, Rosemarinus officinalis L. (Lamiacea) leave extract and Zingiber officinale Roscoe (Zingiberaceae) have been demonstrated to be good radioprotectors. The latter possesses antioxidant and neuromodulatory properties that can be effectively utilized for behavioral radioprotection [97,98] .…”

Problem statement: Plant antioxidants are natural plant products that inhibit the adverse effects of the Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) produced in plants. Thus, antioxidants enable plants to survive. Depending on this principle, human beings started using some plants' parts to cure from diseases many centuries ago, even before the discovery of microbes or disclosing the etiology of many human diseases. Shed light on the importance of diet and natural products that have proved of great health impact on human traditionally and scientifically, disclosing the central role of natural antioxidants in this matter. Moreover, this review tried to give an overview on the research has so far done in Asian countries particularly in the field of natural antioxidants during the period 2000-2008. Therefore, the aim of this review is to present a comprehensive index for the antioxidant property of herbs and plants that have been traditionally used as well as experimentally proved beneficial in these countries. Approach: We had compared Asian and other nation's diet in the popularity of the traditional medicine and the type of daily meal in respect to their antioxidants contents and valuable health promoting effects. Many literatures had been collected using online search engines and the main library of University Putra Malaysia. The gathered data had been arranged alphabetically in a table depending on the plant's scientific name, common name, the used part(s) and the family name. Results: The research had shown that there were seventy-six plants with proved antioxidant activity which had been well studied by Asian scientists in the chosen period of time. Conclusion: The antioxidant components of the natural products constitute the major source of human health promotion and maintenance. The nature is still the perfect source for health promotion and for the supplementation of safe drugs. Great attention is mandatory from all the scientists around the world to explore many underestimated plants with highly effective antioxidant activity.
