They do tend to go stale and are not as pure as fresh ones so make sure they are green and strongly aromatic when you crush them. Read more about garlic here. Ginger powder is the dried and ground root of the flowering tropical plant Zingiber officinale, and has a milder and slightly sweeter taste than that of fresh ginger root. I never use parsley in dried form. Shred it and add it to a white sauce with mustard. From European mountains , but also moorland and heaths. Shrimp Alfredo is exquisite — juicy shrimp in a cheese sauce serves with pasta. It is widely used in Indian cuisine and is woody and pungent. The results is a lovely, sweetly smoky and lightly spiced flavor often found in spicy sausages like chorizo or salami, and paella. They also last for a long time in the fridge. Anise is the dried seed of an aromatic flowering plant, Pimpinella anisum , in the Apiaceae family that is native to the Levant, or eastern Mediterranean region, and into Southwest Asia. Cinnamon has a subtle, sweet, and complex flavor with floral and clove notes.

However, the scientific basis for its medicinal use, especially as anti-inflammation remains unknown. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities of Piper cubeba essential oil (PCEO) in laboratory rodent models. The in vivo anti-inflammatory activity of PCEO at three doses (150, 300 and 600 mg /kg, p.o) was tested in carrageenan-induced rat paw edema, cotton pellet granuloma and carrageenan-induced pleurisy.

All the extracts showed significant antibacterial and antifungal properties. Highest inhibition zone (21.3±0.08) was recorded for ethanolic extract against Staphylococcus aureus. Key words : Rhizome, Kaempferia galanga, antimicrobial activity, disc diffusion assay. INTRODUCTION of medicinal plants are being increasingly reported from different parts of the world (Saxena, 1999). It is Herbal medicines are gaining priorities in treating expected that plant extracts showing target sites various health ailments of diverse origins in man. other than those used by antibiotics will be active Before the inventions of the modern synthetic against drug resistant microbial pathogen medicines, man’s dependence was totally on plants. Traditional systems of plant based products have Kaempferia galanga L.

  • Utilization of Garlic and Kaemfiera on the Strength of Fungi Growth in Sardine Fish 'Pedetan' (Sardinella Lemuru)
    Utilization of Garlic and Kaemfiera on the Strength of Fungi Growth in Sardine Fish ‘ Pedetan ’ ( Sardinella lemuru ) Ni Made Ayu Suardi Singapurwa 1, I Putu Candra 2 {[email protected] 1, [email protected] 2} Department of Food Science and Technology, Warmadewa University Denpasar-Bali, Indonesia 12 Abstract. Sardine fish ‘ Pedetan ’ is one of the traditional foods in the area of Jembrana Regency, Bali. During the process of storing ‘ Pedetan ’, they are often damaged by fungi that pollute the Pedetan s. This study aims to determine the use of garlic and kaemfiera on the growth of fungi that can contaminate Pedetan . The results showed that the use of garlic and kaemfiera can inhibit fungal growth. The making of sardine fish sprouts using garlic spices can inhibit the growth of fungi with a inhibition zone of 21.15 mm and kaemfiera can inhibit the inhibition zone by 25.45 mm. Garlic and kaemfiera can inhibit fungal growth because they contain bioactive compounds that can be antimicrobial. Keywords: Garlic, kaemfiera, Sardine fish Pedetan 1 Introduction Pedetan is one of the traditional Balinese spicy dried fish food products processed by the community in the Jembrana Regency area of Bali Province. The community processes and extends the shelf life of the sardine by processing it into food products that can be stored longer, which is commonly referred to as Pedetan . Pedetan made from sardine, salt and spices, is dried in the sun for two to three days, then stored at room temperature [1]. Damage to dry fish can occur during storage and during distribution in marketing.
