    @ClichyRose3 Turns out dried ginger is better bc more gingerol is converted to the corresponding shogaols, which have far more potent in anti-inflammation. https://t.co/ZQAlnijAOL https://t.co/JS9HgH88rI

Abstract Synopsis

  • Different drying methods, especially hot air drying (HAD) at 150°C for 6 hours, increase the levels of shogaols in ginger while decreasing gingerols, which enhances its antioxidant and antimicrobial activities.
  • The study found that ginger dried by HAD had the highest antioxidant capacity and showed stronger antimicrobial effects, particularly against Gram-positive bacteria, compared to other drying methods like sun drying (OSD) and solar tunnel drying (STD).
  • The conversion of gingerols to shogaols, which are more biologically active, is significantly influenced by drying temperature and time, making HAD at specific conditions an effective way to boost ginger’s health benefits.]
