What does it contain?

Latin name: Zingiber officinale Roscoe

Family: Zingiberaceae

Common names : White spice

Parts used: Root - Cut rhizome

Origin : Native to the ancient East Indies (Indonesia), the plant was easily found around zingi.

The rhizome is very rich in starch (60%). It contains proteins, fats (10%), essential oil and resin.

The impression of fire (pseudo-heat) when ginger is consumed is due to the presence of shogaol, paradol and zingerone. The concentration of gingerol - a major constituent of fresh ginger - is lower in dried ginger, while the concentration of shogaol increases.

An oleoresin (6%) and an essential oil (1-3%) are extracted from the ginger rhizome. The oleoresin contains the chemical compounds responsible for the pungent flavor, such as gingerol (15%).

The composition ofginger essential oil varies widely according to geographical origin, but includes odoriferous compounds such as zingiberene, curcumene, camphene, bisabolene, citral and linalool. These two extracts are used to flavor foods, while only the essential oil is used in perfumery.
