Zingiberaceae from Plantation Forests as Food and Beverage Additives: A Review | Chapter 7 | Current Perspectives in Agriculture and Food Science Vol. 6

 Benefits of Zingiberaceae’s plants for the society residing in rural districts are as food/beverage preservatives and for human health. The advantage of the plants that belong to the Zingiberaceae is able to evolve well under the forest stands at open sites. Relevantly, field note that involved 30 respondents in the thicket villages administratively under the regions of Perum Perhutani (united states of america-Owned Forest Undertakings) Units I, II, and III (East Hot beverage made from beans of a tree, Central Java, and West Hot beverage made from beans of a tree, respectively) told that as many as 10 Zingiberaceae species, i.e. Alpinia galanga L. Willd, Amomum cardomomum Willd, Boesenbergia sonorous L. Manst., Curcumma domestica L (kunyit), C. xanthorrhiza Robx, C. heyneana Val. & van Zijp, Etlingera elatior (Jack.) R. M. Sm., Kaemferia galanga L, Zingiber oficinale Rosc, and Z. zerumbet (L) Rosc were earlier used as food/liquor additves consumed by the comminity nearly production woodlands. The additives from Zingiberaceae were categoryzed safe expected consumed as ingedients/dressings, coloring powers, and healthy aroma for meal/beverages. The sophistication of Zingiberaceae to grow in production jungles could bring saving values and positive impacts on the society and environments of result forests. Several ingedients of feed/beverages from Zingiberaceae have been reduced into the contemporary recipes popular as special menu at the Perhutani’s able to be consumed tourism sites and new restaurants. The prospects of Zingiberaceae were able to expand productive business and saving at forest villages as well as to uphold the sustainability/continuity of result forests.

Production, Yield and Quality of Alpinia purpurata (Vieillard) K. Schumann in Tabasco, Mexico | Chapter 8 | Research and Development in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 3

 

There is a lack of basic information about tropical cut flower production systems in Latin America. To
know basic aspects of quality, yield and production of Ginger (Alpinia purpurata) is necessary to plan
its management along its productive chain (production, harvest, postharvest, packing, transport and
distribution processes). In this chapter we are reporting the Red and Pink Ginger production in three
plantings of three municipalities of Tabasco, Mexico throughout a year. Also, we are reporting the
yield and quality of Red Ginger associated to Mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla King) and Red cedar
(Cedrela odorata L.) trees. The hypothesis of the second report was that the shade of Mahogany and
Red cedar affects differently the yield and quality of floral stems. Regarding to the first report, the
planting at Comalcalco had the highest production of Red and Pink Ginger stems and flowers per
clump. In the plantings of Comalcalco and Centro the production of commercial flowers was
concentrated in May; in Teapa it was concentrated in June. Regarding to the second report, quality of
commercial floral stems was different between Ginger plants associated to Mahogany or Red cedar,
but the yield was similar, i.e. the hypothesis was accepted.

A Scientific Study on Genetic Variability of Mango Ginger (Curcuma amada Roxb.) in Kerala State of India | Chapter 10 | Cutting-edge Research in Agricultural Sciences Vol.2

 

Curcuma amada Roxb., popularly known as mango ginger is important as a spice and a source of
starch. The rhizomes are carminative and stomachic and are used in the preparation of salads and
chutneys. The present study is an investigation in to the genetic variability of the species in the state
with reference to the morphological growth and yield characters. The study has shown that the
genetic base of the species in the state is currently sound. However, since the farming patterns are
changing and household farming is declining, care should be taken to see that the natural as well as
traditionally cultivated populations of mango ginger are protected and mango ginger cultivation and its
utilization are augmented so that its genetic diversity is protected and the nutritional and medicinal
properties fully exploited.
