1. Isishwankathelo se-Aframomum Melegueta

II-Aframomum Melegueta, eyazalelwa eNtshona Afrika, inevumba le-cardamom kunye nencasa efana nepepile. Yayisetyenziswa kakhulu endaweni yayo xa ipepile yayinqabile eYurophu ngenkulungwane ye-13, kwaye yayibizwa ngokuba "yimbewu yezulu" kuba yayithathwa njengesipho esivela ezulwini.

I-Aframomum Melegueta inamagama ahlukeneyo afana nelithi grains of paradise, i-Atare (ngesiYoruba), i-chitta (isiHausa), okanye i-Guinea pepper, yimbewu enye enamandla amaninzi okuphilisa kwaye iingenelo zayo kuluntu zibonakala zingenasiphelo.

I-Aframomum melegueta (Grains of Paradise) isetyenziswa kunyango lwezifo ezosulelayo ezifana nosulelo lomchamo olubangelwa yi-Escherichia coli, i-Klebsiella pneumoniae, i-Enterococcus faecalis, i-Staphylococcus saprophyticus, i-Proteus mirabilis, i-Staphylococcus aureus engamelaniyo ne-methicillin, i-Salmonella spp, kunye ne-Shigella spp. Ibonisa ithemba elithile ekulawuleni amafutha amaninzi kwiidosi ezinokuthi zisetyenziswe kwiimveliso zokutya kunye nomxube wamayeza.

2. Indawo yoSasazo

I-Aframomum Melegueta（I-Paradise Pepper）, egama layo lokwenyani yi-African Cardamom, ekwaziwa ngokuba yi-Peppercorn, i-Guinea Pepper, i-Melegueta Pepper, i-Paradise Pepper, okanye i-Alligator Pepper, sisityalo esihlala sihleli sosapho lweZingiberaceae. Sivela kwiindawo ezigudle ulwandle zaseNtshona Afrika. Sivula iintyatyambo ezimfusa, ezimile okwexilongo, sithwala iipods ezinde ezingama-5-7 cm kwaye sinembewu ebomvu-mdaka. I-Peppery, kuba yaba yindawo yepepile yokuqala. Ngoku ixhaphake kakhulu ekusetyenzisweni kwangaphakathi eAfrika. Sisinongo seSilk Road esinyamaleleyo ekutyeni kwanamhlanje kwase-Eurasia, kodwa sisasetyenziswa kwiindawo zaseNtshona naseMntla Afrika, kwaye sisityalo esibalulekileyo semali kwiindawo zase-Ethiopia. I-African cardamom, evela kwiindawo ezikunxweme lwaseNtshona Afrika, kubonakala ngathi yayisetyenziswa kufutshane neGhana yanamhlanje ekuqaleni kwaye kamva yathunyelwa kwiindawo ezithile zezibuko empuma Afrika okanye kunxweme lweMeditera ukuze irhwebe ngeSilk Road. Isinongo, esasithandwa kakhulu ekuphekeni kwaseYurophu ngexesha lokuqala kweRenaissance, saphela kancinci etafileni ngenkulungwane yeshumi elinesibhozo saza sanyamalala kwiimarike zaseYurophu, sathatyathelw’ indawo yi-cardamom kunye nezinye iziqholo ezithunyelwa ngaphandle ezivela e-Asia kwihlabathi liphela.

3. Intshayelelo ye-6-Paradol

I-Paradol, i-metabolite ye-shogaol engenabuhlungu ngokunciphisa i-enzyme, yaziwa ngokuba nemisebenzi yokulwa nokuvuvukala. Iziphumo zangoku ze-in vitro zibonisa ukuba iipropati zokuthintela ze-6-paradol ekunyangeni i-neuroinflammation kwi-microglia zihambelana nokukwazi ukunyanga i-in vivo ye-cerebral ischemia. Ukusebenza kakuhle kwe-6-paradol kwi-cerebral ischemia kukwanokusetyenziswa kwayo kunyango lwezinye izifo ze-CNS apho i-neuroinflammation luphawu lwe-pathological. Ukongeza, ukuba i-6-paradol ibonakalisiwe ukuba iyasebenza kwezinye izifo ze-CNS, ipropati yayo engenabuhlungu inenzuzo yeziphumo ebezingalindelekanga ezimbalwa esiswini, oko kuthetha ukuba inokuthathwa ixesha elide, ngokungafaniyo ne-ginger okanye i-ginger's components mhlawumbi i-6-shogaol.

I-paradol ezi-6liyeza elinamandla kakhulu lokulwa nemalariya kwaye liyinxalenye ephambili yeI-Zoyesibiniichibi le-metabolite.

I-6-Paradol (igama le-IUPAC [1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl) decan-3-one]) yikhompawundi ye-phenolic ebukhali efumaneka kwizityalo zosapho lweZingiberaceae, ezifana nejinja kunye neenkozo zeparadesi (I-Aframomum meleguetaokanye ipepile yengwenya). Njengoko kutshiwo kwenye indawo, izifundo ezimbalwa zibike imisebenzi ye-antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, cytotoxic, anti-hyperlipidaemic, hypoglycaemic, kunye ne-antitumor ye-paradol compounds ezahlukeneyo kwiimodeli ezahlukeneyo zezilwanyana.

4. Umsebenzi weMveliso

1. Isicatshulwa se-Aframomum melegueta singasetyenziswa njengeSiqholo kunye nearhente yokunambitha;

2. Isicatshulwa se-Aframomum melegueta singasetyenziswa njengesivuseleli esinuka kamnandi; ukunyanga ukukhwehlela kunye ne-bronchitis; ukulwa namathambo; kwi-dyspepsia;

3. Kufunyenwe ukuba i-Aframomum melegueta extract ikhuthaza ukwehla kobunzima ngokukhuthaza imetabolism yomzimba ngokukhawuleza;

4. I-Aframomum melegueta extract inokunyusa amandla okwabelana ngesondo njenge-aphrodisiac.
