Fingerroot extract obtained with the isopropanol-hexane solvent in the absence of HI-US had the best antilisterial effect while HI-US-isopropanol extracted fingerroot had the highest antimicrobial efficacy against S.

 [No title]
Fingerroot is sometimes available in Thai food stores.
Its appearance is rather characteristic: The central part of the rhizome is rather small (2 cm) and globularly shaped, but most catching for the eye are the several (typically, ten or more) slender, long tubers sprouting from the central part all in the same direction (like the fingers of a hand).
Fingerroot is frequently confused with the Indonesian spice lesser galangale and wrongly called kentjoer (the Dutch version of the Indonesian name of lesser galanga).

Structural Analysis of a Novel Antimutagenic Compound, 4-Hydroxypanduratin A, and the Antimutagenic Activity of Flavonoids in a Thai Spice, Fingerroot (Boesenbergia pandurata Schult.) against Mutagenic Heterocyclic Amines
Six compounds were isolated from fresh rhizomes of fingerroot (Boesenbergia pandurata Schult.) as strong antimutagens toward 3-amino-1,4-dimethyl-5H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole (Trp-P-1) in Salmonella typhimurium TA98.
Thus, the antimutagenic effect of compounds 1-6 was mainly due to the inhibition of the first step of enzymatic activation of heterocyclic amines.
