Product description：
Ginger Extract is derived from high-quality fresh ginger roots (Zingiber officinale). The ginger roots are carefully selected from reliable sources, ensuring they are free from pesticides and other contaminants. We use advanced extraction techniques to obtain the extract. One common method is solvent extraction, where the ginger roots are first cleaned and then processed with food-grade solvents such as ethanol. This process allows for the effective extraction of the active compounds in the ginger roots. After extraction, the solvent is removed through evaporation under controlled conditions, and the resulting extract is further refined to ensure a high level of purity and quality.
- Gingerols: These are the major bioactive compounds in ginger extract, responsible for its characteristic pungent taste and many of its health benefits. Gingerols possess powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-microbial properties. They can help neutralize free radicals in the body, reducing oxidative stress and inflammation.
- Shogaols: Formed from the degradation of gingerols, shogaols also contribute to the beneficial effects of ginger extract. They have been shown to have similar biological activities as gingerols, including promoting digestion and relieving nausea.
- Zingerone: This compound gives ginger its sweet and warm flavor. Zingerone also has antioxidant properties and may play a role in enhancing the overall health benefits of the extract.
- Essential Oils: Ginger extract contains a variety of essential oils, such as gingerene, zingiberene, and borneol. These essential oils contribute to the unique aroma of ginger and may have additional therapeutic effects, including antibacterial and anti-fungal activities.
