Bioactive Compounds from <i>Zingiber montanum</i> and Their Pharmacological Activities with Focus on Zerumbone
The genus <i>Zingiber</i> consists of about 85 species and many of these species are used as food, spices, and medicines. One of the species, <i>Zingiber montanum</i> (J. Koenig) Link ex A. Dietr. is native to Southeast Asia and has been extensively used as traditional medici...
