Obesity is a metabolic disease that is characterized by increased caloric intake and decreased physical activity. Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is used as a spice that has potential role as an alternative medicine in a range of many diseases. The current research was carried out to explore the anti-obesity potential of ginger root powder. For this, the chemical and phytochemical characterization of ginger root powder were analyzed. Results showed that it contains moisture, ash content, crude fat, crude protein, crude fiber and nitrogen free extract 6.22±0.35, 6.37±0.18, 5.31±0.46, 1.37±0.15, 10.48±0.67 and 64.78±11.33mg/dl, respectively. Furthermore, the ginger root powder was given in the form of capsules to obese patients for the already designed treatment groups. The experimental groups (G and G) were given ginger root powder capsules (3g) to G group and (6g) was given to G group for the time of 60 days. Results unveiled that G group showed highly significant change on waist to hip ratio (WHR) and the other parameters like (BMI, Body weight) and cholesterol showed slightly - significant change on both groups G and G. It can be considered as an arsenal for fight against the health problems that have been raised from the obesity.

Antithrombotic medications, including antiplatelet agents, are standard treatments for patients with hyperlipidemia who have a high risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD). The ongoing exploration of new antiplatelet agents with minimal bleeding effects is crucial, including the investigation of potential compounds derived from natural products. This study intended to evaluate the antiplatelet effects of a combined extract of sappan wood ( L.

Liver fibrosis is a significant contributor to global morbidity and mortality, making the identification of non-toxic natural therapies to slow its progression essential. This study evaluated the anti-fibrotic potential of a nutraceutical blend comprising extra virgin olive oil, linseed oil, and ginger extract, formulated in both emulsion and nanoemulsion forms, using a rat model of liver fibrosis. Nanoemulsions were prepared using the ultrasonication technique, and their particle size and stability were analyzed via the DLS method.

Intercropping is emerging as a sustainable strategy to manage soil-borne diseases, yet the underlying mechanisms remain largely elusive. Here, we investigated how intercropping chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium) with ginger (Zingiber officinale) suppressed Fusarium wilt and influenced the associated rhizo-microbiome. Chrysanthemum plants in intercropping systems exhibited a marked reduction in wilt severity and greater biomass compared to those grown in monoculture.

This study investigated the tenderization and quality characteristics of Korean black goat biceps femoris treated with ginger powder extracts (0 %, 3 %, 5 %, and 7 %). The proximate composition, pH, color, shear force, water-holding capacity, sarcomere length, fiber cross-sectional area, and sensory properties were determined and analyzed according to the concentration of the ginger powder extract. The shear force decreased significantly with increasing concentrations of ginger powder extract ( < 0.
