TL;DR: The major active components present in C. amada, a unique spice having morphological resemblance with ginger but imparts a raw mango flavour, are brought to light along with their biological activities that may be important from the pharmacological point of view.

TL;DR: The chloroform extract of mango ginger rhizome was subjected to antioxidant activity-guided purification by repeated silica gel column chromatography to obtain a pure antioxidant compound, which showed antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria tested.

TL;DR: The chloroform extract of mango ginger rhizome was subjected to antibacterial activity-guided purification by repeated silica gel column chromatography to obtain a pure compound, and the structure of the isolated compound was deduced by analysing UV, IR, LC-MS and 2D-HMQCT NMR spectral data, and named it as amadaldehyde, a novel compound.

TL;DR: Sapodilla (Achras sapota linn) belongs to the family Sapotaceae and is used in the traditional system of Indian medicine as discussed by the authors, which reveals that it is a rich source of sugars, proteins, ascorbic acid, phenols, carotenoids and minerals such as Fe, Cu, Zn, Ca and K. Sapodilla juice inhibited the free radical-mediated lipid peroxidation in a liposome model system.

TL;DR: In this article, the first report on isolation and characterization of starch from mango ginger was presented, which was characterized with respect to amylose, solubility, gelatinization, ash, moisture content, X-ray diffraction pattern and structure of starch granules.
