courge cireuse
Benincasa hispida · ash gourd
Benincasa hispida, commonly known as wax gourd or winter melon, originates from traditional medicine practices in East Asia. It has been traditionally used for various purposes such as cooling the body and aiding digestion, though specific uses vary among different cultures. Scientific evidence suggests that water extracts of Benincasa hispida exhibit moderate lipase inhibitory activity, which could potentially be beneficial for managing certain digestive conditions. Additionally, studies indicate partial to complete cross-protection against mild strains of Zucchini tigre mosaic virus in specific plant hosts and enhanced growth and photosynthetic efficiency in wax gourd seedlings under magnesium deficiency when treated with melatonin. Fermentation with Lactiplantibacillus plantarum NCU001557 has been shown to increase antioxidant capacity and alter the volatile and nonvolatile compound profiles of Benincasa hispida juice, though these findings are preliminary. No major safety concerns or known drug interactions have been recorded for this plant.

Ce que dit la science
- La fermentation avec Lactiplantibacillus plantarum NCU001557 a augmenté la capacité antioxydante et modifié les profils des composés volatils et non-volatils du jus de Benincasa hispida.
- Les traitements par mélatonine ont amélioré l'accumulation de magnésium et l'efficacité photosynthétique, atténuant la chlorose chez les pousses de citrouille blanche sous carence en magnésium.
- L'extrait aquatique de Benincasa hispida a montré une activité modérée d'inhibition de la lipase par rapport à l'orlistat.
- Des souches modérées du virus de la mosaïque tiger des courges ont été générées, fournissant une protection croisée partielle ou complète dans certaines espèces de cucurbitacés.
