Wasabi
Eutrema japonicum · Japanese Horseradish
Eutrema japonicum, commonly known as wasabi, originates from traditional Japanese medicine. Traditionally, it has been used for its pungent flavor and antimicrobial properties in culinary applications rather than medicinal ones. Scientific research indicates that the plant's extract can enhance enzymatic hydrolysis of corn starch and reduce its viscosity, potentially aiding digestion. Additionally, Eutrema japonicum-derived exosome-like nanoparticles have shown promise in promoting dendritic cell maturation and enhancing Th1 cell differentiation, which may contribute to tumor suppression. The rhizome extract also exhibits nematicidal activity against Meloidogyne enterolobii, with sec-butyl isothiocyanate and geraniol showing particularly high efficacy. Safety data suggests no major issues have been recorded for this plant, and there are currently no reported drug interactions.

Ce que dit la science
- L'extrait de wasabi a amélioré la hydrolyse enzymatique et réduit la viscosité du amidon de maïs, rendant celui-ci plus sensible à l'érosion enzymatique.
- Le gène du wasabi s'est stabilisé grâce à des réarrangements chromosomiques importants et à la dominance sous-génique après une hybridation récente aloute-triploïde.
- L'étude a montré que l'extrait de rhizome d'Eutrema japonicum avait une activité nematicide contre Meloidogyne enterolobii avec le sec-butyl isothiocyanate et le geraniol montrant une grande efficacité.
- les nanoparticules dérivées d'exosomes de Eutrema japonicum ont promu la maturité des DC et renforcé l'activation des cellules T, ce qui a conduit à une suppression tumorale significative.
