Zerdeçal: Beslenme ve Sağlık Yönünden Değerlendirilmesi

Zerdeçal içerdiği antioksidant özellikleri ile halk sağlığının korunması amacıyla kullanılan bir bitkidir. Bitki turmerik olarak da adlandırılmaktadır. Zerdeçal Curcuma longa bitkisinden elde edilmektedir. Bitkinin ana bileşeni olan kurkumin polifenolik özellikleri ile inflamasyonun temel rol oynadığı birçok kronik hastalıkta tedavi edici özellik göstermektedir. Ayrıca çeşitli kanser türlerinde önleyici ve tedaviye yardımcı etki gösterdiği belirtilmektedir. Multiple skleroz, Alzheimer hastalığı, Parkinson hastalığı gibi nörodejeneratif hastalıkların yanı sıra bilişsel performans, sözel hafıza gibi kognitif bozukluklarda, Crohn Hastalığında, Helikobakter pilori enfeksiyonunda,kadavradan böbrek transplantasyonu sonrasında, safra kesesi işlevinde kurkuminin koruyucu etkisinin olduğu belirlenmiştir. Kurkuminin sağlık üzerine etkilerinin daha iyi anlaşılabilmesi için geniş çaplı kontrollü çalışmaların yapılmasına gereksinim duyulmaktadır. Bu derleme yazıda zerdeçalın beslenme ve sağlık üzerine etkileri yayınlar değerlendirilerek irdelenmiştir

Turmeric: Evaluation in Terms of Health and Nutrition

Turmeric is a plant containing antioxidant properties, used for the prevention of public health. Turmeric is derived from Curcuma longa plant. With the main component of the plant curcumin’s polyphenolic properties, plant exhibits therapeutic potential in many chronic diseases that inflammation plays a major role. Also shows assisting effect in the prevention and treatment of various cancers. Curcumin’s protective effect was determined on neurodegenerative diseases such as Multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, as well as cognitive disorders like cognitive performance, verbal memory, Crohn’s disease, Helicobacter pylori infection, after the cadaveric renal transplantation and gallbladder function. Further and wider ranged studies are needed for a better understanding of the health effects of curcumin. Effects of curcumin on nutrition and health were evaluated in this review
