Ginger
Root Extract Chemistry The characteristic fragrance and flavor of ginger result
from volatile oils that compose 1-3% of the weight of fresh ginger, primarily
consisting of zingerone, shogaols, and gingerols with [6]-gingerol (1-[4′-hydroxy-3′-methoxyphenyl]-5-hydroxy-3-decanone)
as the major pungent compound. Zingerone is produced from gingerols during
drying, having lower pungency and a spicy-sweet aroma. Shogaols are more
pungent and have higher antioxidant activity but not found in raw ginger, but
is formed from gingerols during heating, storage or via acidity.
