Abstract
ABSTRACT The consumption of culinary herbs and spices in our daily dietary intake has been known to reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases. The efficacy of these seasoning agents towards preventing or alleviating chronic diseases is facilitated through the synergistic effect of their secondary metabolites. A majority of the scientific reviews which have been conducted till present emphasise that the positive effects of culinary herbs and spices on human health is predominantly due to the presence of dietary polyphenols. This review however will focus on the therapeutic benefits of essential oils of culinary herbs and spices from the genera Curcuma and Zingiber in the management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Alzheimer’s Disease.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Essential Oil Research ( JEOR) is the major forum for the publication of essential oil research and analysis. Each issue includes studies performed on the chemical composition of some of the 20,000 aromatic plants known in the plant kingdom. JEOR is devoted entirely to all phases of research from every corner of the world by the experts in their field. JEOR''s main areas of focus include:
-Analytical chemistry-
Biological activity-
Biotechnology-
Chemical composition-
Chemical synthesis-
Chemosystematics-
Microbiological activity-
Plant biochemistry/biosynthesis-
Toxicology.
Published six times per year, JEOR provides articles on the aromatic principles of a plant or its isolates and are directed toward furthering our readers'' knowledge of the aromatic plant and animal kingdoms.
