Abstract

Physiological activities of Korean-grown ginger (KG) and Chinese-grown ginger (CG) extracts were examined. Ginger was extracted with water, and 50 and 100% ethanol, and then nitrite-scavenging activity (NSA), superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity, and electron-donating ability (EDA) of extracts were investigated. NSA at pH 1.2 was the most effective in 50% ethanol extracts of both origins. SOD-like activities of water and 50% ethanol extracts of both samples were 8.66-35.95% lower than those of 1 and 0.1% L-ascorbate solutions. SOD-like activity of KG extracts was higher than that of CG extracts, and water extracts of samples were the highest. EDA of KG extract was higher (22.23-86.95%) than that of CG extract, while both sample extracts showed lower EDA than those of 1 and 0.1% L-ascorbate solutions.
