    Ginger has many health benefits and contains high levels of antioxidants. A study found that a ginger extract was able to chelate iron and had strong antioxidant properties when tested against various free radicals. The ginger extract was able to scavenge DPPH radicals by 90.1% and inhibit hydroxyl radicals by 79.6%. The extract also showed antioxidant effects in inhibiting lipid oxidation in linoleic acid. Overall, the study demonstrated that ginger has powerful antioxidant abilities due to its high phenol content.

    ABSTRACT:

    Ginger is an excellent remedy for digestive problems. It has several actions such as Antiemetic, Diaphoretic, Carminative, Circulatory stimulant, Anti-inflammatory, & Antiseptic. Ginger has a high content of antioxidants. The antioxidant effect & the total phenols of ginger extract were studied. The ginger extract chelated Fe in the solution. The total phenols of the alcohol extract were found to be 870.1mg/g dry extract. 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picril hydrazyl radical (DPPH) scavenging reached 90.1% & exceeded that of butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), the IC50 concentration for inhibition of DPPH was 0.64 g/ml. The antioxidant activity in a linoleic acid/ water emulsion system determined by means of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) was highest at 37 C 73.2%, & 71.6% when the formation of conjugated dienes was inhibited. At 80 C the antioxidant activity at the highest concentration of a ginger extract was less efficient: 65.7% for conjugated dienes formation & 68.2% for TBARS. The ginger extract inhibited the hydroxyl radicals 79.6% at 37 C & 74.8% at 80 C, which showed a higher antioxidant activity than quercetin. The IC50 concentration for inhibiting OH at 37 C was slower than that at 80 C - 1.90 & 2.78g/ml, respectively. Keywords: Zingiber officinale; Ginger extract; CO2 extract; DPPH; OH; Chelating capacity.
