Abstract
Mango ginger (Curcuma amada Roxb.) is a unique spice having morphological resemblance
to ginger but imparts raw mango flavour. The sequential extraction of mango ginger
rhizome powder was carried out using hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, acetone, methanol
and water. The phenolic content was the highest in methanol extract, followed by
acetone, ethyl acetate and water extracts. Among these, chloroform extract exhibited high
lipid peroxidation inhibitory activity and metal chelating activity, whereas ethyl acetate extract
showed high DPPH radical scavenging activity and superoxide radical scavenging
activity. Mango ginger extracts also showed potential platelet aggregation inhibitory activity
and cytotoxicity properties.
