Ampalaya: Parts Utilized

The document summarizes several medicinal plants and the parts used to treat digestive issues. Ampalaya leaves, roots and fruits have gastroprotective effects. Soya leaves, flowers and oil can decrease diarrhea in infants and children. Okra roots, leaves and pods exhibited anti-ulcer effects. Eucalyptus leaves and oil have antioxidant properties and can be used as a natural food dye. Ginger tops, leaves and roots can inhibit amylase and glucosidase enzymes, reducing glucose levels comparable to the drug Acarbose. The document was a school project on medicinal plants for the digestive system.

Parts utilized
Roots, leaves, young pods, seeds.

Anti-ulcer: Anti-ulcerogenic activity of some plants used as folk remedy in Turkey: Five herbal remedies, including H esculentus, were studied for anti-ulcerogenic activity. All extracts exhibited significant gastroprotective effects.

Eucalyptus
(Eucalyptus globulus)

Parts utilized
Mature leaves, oil.

Food Dye: Study showed the SCF (superficial fluid extract), methanolic and water extracts of the stem bark possess similar free radical scavenging and antioxidative activity higher than synthetic antioxidants BHT. The SCF extract also showed to be a good source of yellow natural food dye.

Luya
(Zingiber officinale Rose)

Parts utilized
Tops, leaves and edible roots.

Antidiabetic / Amylase and Glucosidase Enzyme Inhibitory Effect: Studies have targeted digestive enzymes as targets for modulation of glucose concentration through inhibition of enzymatic breakdown of complex carbohydrates. In this study, glucosidase and amylase activities on rice were inhibited by the addition of ginger with consequent significant reduction in glucose percentages. Results were comparable to Acarbose on glucosidase activity.
