Abstract
Plant has been employed in traditional medicine since ancient times. Curcuma amada Roxb. (Mango ginger), is a member of Zingiberaceae family and the Curcuma genus. It is a distinctive spice that shares a similar appearance with ginger but provides a raw mango taste. It is considered as a valuable plant in traditional medicine which plays a crucial function in both the food and pharmaceutical industries. Ayurveda and Unani medicinal traditions highly value mango ginger for its properties as an appetizer, antipyretic, diuretic, aphrodisiac, emollient, alexteric, expectorant, and laxative. It is also used to treat biliousness, itching, skin problems, bronchitis, asthma, hiccough, and inflammation resulting from accidents. Mango ginger exhibits a wide range of pharmacological activities, including antioxidant, anthelminthic, antibacterial, antifungal, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, platelet aggregation inhibitory, antidiabetic, brine-shrimp lethal, biopesticide, enterokinase inhibitory, CNS depressant and analgesic activities. The plant contains significant quantities of starch, minerals, vitamins, phenolic acids, volatile oils, curcuminoids, and phytoconstituents such as amadaldehyde, labdane diterpene dialdehyde, difurocumenonol, zederone and amadannulen. C. amada also have a vital function in diverse industrial applications, providing sustainable solutions in multiple sectors. They provide essential raw materials for the food industry, such as edible oils and natural flavorings, and are integral to pharmaceuticals for producing medicines and herbal remedies. Its components, such as essential oils and extracts can be used in cosmetics to improve the effectiveness of skincare and personal care products. This review aimed to focus on the plant’s morphological characteristics, background, chemical properties, pharmacological properties and industrial applications.
Keywords: Curcuma amada, Zingiberaceae family, pharmacological activities, phytoconstituents, industrial applications
