Zerdeçalın Genel Sağlık Üzerine Etkileri

Bitkisel ürünler insanlık tarihi boyunca çeşitli amaçlarla kullanılmıştır. Bu ürünlerin çoğu, ilaçların keşfi ve tasarımında yararlanılabilecek farmakolojik veya biyolojik aktiviteye sahiptir. Zerdeçal, zencefil ailesinin bir üyesi Kurkuma longa bitkisinden elde edilmiştir. Zerdeçal, Hint ayurvedik tıbbında ve Unani geleneksel tıbbında en az 2500 yıldır sindirim ve karaciğer hastalıkları, deri enfeksiyonları ve artrit tedavisinde kullanılmaktadır. İlk kez 1815'te Vogel ve Pelletier tarafından zerdeçaldan izole edilmiş olan kürküminin 1870'de saf ve kristal formu, 1910'da ise diferuloilmetan yapısı bulunmuştur. Zerdeçalın 100 gramında; 390 kcal, toplam 10 g yağ, 3 g doymuş yağ, 0 mg kolesterol, 0.2 g kalsiyum, 0.26 g fosfor, 10 mg sodyum, 2500 mg potasyum, 47.5 mg demir, 0.9 mg tiamin, 0.19 mg riboflavin, 4.8 mg niasin, 50 mg askorbik asit, toplam 69.9 g karbonhidrat, 21 g diyet lifi, 3 g şeker ve 8 g protein bulunmaktadır. Zerdeçaldaki ana biyoaktif bileşen olan kürkümin, antioksidan, anti-inflamatuar, anti-bakteriyel ve anti-aterosklerotik özelliklere sahiptir. Bu özellikleri zerdeçalı, Alzheimer, kanser, kardiyovasküler hastalıklar, diyabet, obezite ve depresyon gibi pek çok hastalığın tedavisinde ilgi çekici kılmıştır. Bu derlemede zerdeçalın genel sağlık üzerine etkilerinin irdelenmesi amaçlanmıştır.

The Effects of Turmeric on Overall Health

Herbal products have been used for various purposes throughout human history. Many of these products have pharmacological or biological activity that can be utilized in the discovery and design of drugs. Turmeric is derived from the Curcuma longa plant, a member of the ginger family. Turmeric has been used in Indian Ayurvedic medicine and Unani traditional medicine for at least 2500 years to treat digestive and liver diseases, skin infections and arthritis. Curcumin, which was first isolated from turmeric by Vogel and Pelletier in 1815, was found in its pure and crystalline form in 1870 and its diferuloylmethane structure in 1910. In 100 grams of turmeric; 390 kcal, 10 g total fat, 3 g saturated fat, 0 mg cholesterol, 0.2 g calcium, 0.26 g phosphorus, 10 mg sodium, 2500 mg potassium, 47.5 mg iron, 0.9 mg thiamine, 0.19 mg riboflavin, 4.8 mg niacin, 50 mg ascorbic acid, a total of 69.9 g carbohydrates, 21 g dietary fiber, 3 g sugar and 8 g protein. Curcumin, the main bioactive ingredient in turmeric, has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and anti-atherosclerotic properties. These properties have made turmeric interesting in the treatment of many diseases such as Alzheimer's, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, obesity and depression. In this review, it is aimed to examine the effects of turmeric on general health.
