This work aimed to study the effect of two different levels of ration energy supplemented with Alpinia officinarum. Rabbits were classified into six equal groups (G1-G6). The 1 and 4 groups received basal ration with 100 % and 90 % energy requirement and served as first and second control respectively. The 2 and the 3 groups received basal ration with 100 % energy requirement supplemented with ...

The aim of the work is to develop a simple, rapid, selective and cost effective HPTLC method for the determination of galangin in Alpinia galanga & Alpinia officinarum. The HPTLC densitometric technique was therefore, selected for the quantitative and qualitative determination of galangin in Alpinia galanga and Alpinia officinarum respectively. There are different analytical methods were used t...

BACKGROUND Although the incidence of gastric cancer is declining during the last half century, this cancer still is the second morbid cancer in the world after lung cancer. The incidence of gastric cancer is 26 per 100,000 in Iran. This study evaluated the effect of Alpinia galangal on AGS cells (human gastric adenocarcinoma epithelial cell line) and L929 cells (as a standard cell line originat...

BACKGROUND We investigated the potential of galangal rhizomes to induce cytotoxic and apoptotic effects in the cultured human breast carcinoma cell line, (MCF-7) in compare with the non-malignant (MRC-5) cells. METHODS Both cells were cultured in DMEM medium and treated with galangal rhizomes for three consecutive days. The percentage of apoptotic cells was determined by flow cytometry using ...

Alpinia galanga is rhizome, generally known as Greater galangal and is selected for isolation of newer constituents accountable for various therapeutic activities. Present study is intended to isolate glycoside from Alpinia galanga rhizomes. Alpinia galanga methanolic extract was column chromatograph and eluted with ethyl acetate-methanol (99:1) to isolate compound β-Sitosterol Diarabinoside. H...

BACKGROUND Alpinia galanga (L.) Willd. commonly called as Rasna, Greater galangal or Kulinjan is a medicinally important rhizome used in Indian traditional system of medicine to cure a number of ailments. A. galanga is the main source of a galangin -a medicinally important flavanol which has a number of pharmacological properties viz. anti-mutagenic, and anti-inflammatory. Due to the high deman...

The pH, objective color and antimicrobial efficacy of Alpinia galanga (Linn.) Swartz Flower Extract (GFE) in a ready-to-eat turkey ham product inoculated with Listeria monocytogenes and Staphylococcus aureus were evaluated. Ham treatments included positive control (inoculated with Listeria monocytogenes and Staphylococcus aureus cocktail only), 0.5% GFE incorporated into meat batter prior to co...

Two compounds, 1,7-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1,4,6-heptatrien-3-one (BHPHTO) and bisdemethoxycurcumin (BDMC) they have been isolated from the rhizomes of Alpinia galangal, and the structures of both pure constituents were determined using spectroscopic analyses. The study examined the bioeffectivenesses of the two compounds on the human melanoma A2058 and showed that significantly inhibited the prol...
