Nutritional profile of minerals and antioxidants in Indian spice extracts was evaluated in order to examine their efficacy in treating various diseases, disorders, and allergies in human health. Extracts of four medicinal plants such as Curcuma longa, Zingiber officinale, Piper nigrum, and Piper longum, regularly consumed as spice products in South Asia, have been studied using elemental analysis, antioxidant, and antibacterial studies. While potassium (K) and calcium (Ca) were estimated to be the major elements, trace elements such as manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), arsenic (As), selenium (Se), and lead (Pb) were determined in the plant extracts. Although higher concentration of Cu was estimated in Piper nigrum extracts, it can be inferred that Cu is not the only factor that is responsible for gastrointestinal disorders. Methanolic extract of the plants showed the highest inhibition zone for Curcuma longa against maximum bacterial strains while Zingiber officinale showed inhibition against S. aureus, K. pneumonia, and P. aeruginosa. Because of the highest concentration of antioxidants and inhibitory action against most of the bacterial strains, Curcuma longa can be used as a co-therapeutic agent in healing gastrointestinal infections.

对印度香料提取物中矿物质和抗氧化剂的营养状况进行了评估，以检查其在治疗人类健康中的各种疾病，病症和变态反应中的功效。使用元素分析，抗氧化剂和抗菌剂研究了姜黄，姜，姜，胡椒和长胡椒等四种药用植物的提取物，这些提取物通常在南亚作为香料产品食用。估计钾（K）和钙（Ca）是主要元素，而微量元素如锰（Mn），铁（Fe），铜（Cu），锌（Zn），砷（As），硒（Se ）和铅（Pb）在植物提取物中测定。尽管估计黑胡椒提取物中的铜浓度较高，但可以推断出，铜不是导致胃肠道疾病的唯一因素。植物的甲醇提取物对姜黄的抑制力最高，对最大的细菌菌株的抑制作用，而姜则对金黄色葡萄球菌，肺炎克雷伯菌和铜绿假单胞菌均具有抑制作用。由于最高浓度的抗氧化剂和对大多数细菌菌株的抑制作用，姜黄可以用作胃肠道感染治愈的辅助治疗剂。
