Excellentia International GINGER OIL PURE & NATURAL

It is an evergreen plant that has long stems up to 1.20 m high. In each stem, narrow and green leaves are disposed in two lines. The underground rhizome looks like a tuber and is digitately branched. It is native to littoral regions of India. Zingiber, its Latin name, comes from the Sanskrit word "shringavera" that means "shaped like a deer's antlers". In traditional Chinese medicine, ginger has been very used. Confucius, around 500 B.C., wrote about it in the Analects. In India, Ayurveda names Ginger as "Universal Medicine" because of his vast practicality in kitchen or medicine. The distillation can be perform of fresh or dried rhizome, being the content of Citral usually lower in dried material. The color of the oil varies depending of the origin, but is mostly pale yellow to yellow. It has a characteristic odor: spicy, peppered and lemony. This organoleptic profile is somewhat superior in the fresh distilled oil, due to its higher aldehyde and alcohols content.

Technical Details & Test Data

Chemical Profile & Chemotypes

In ginger oil are found some sesquiterpenic alcohols that are seldom present in other oils, such as cis and trans-Sesquisabinene hydrate, and cis and trans-Zingiberenols. However they are present in very few quantities in the distilled oil, and more present in CO2 Extracts. We can also find the major and the most characteristic compound in ginger oil: Alpha-Zingiberene, a sesquiterpene that has a spicy, fresh and sharp odor. This chemical component is responsible of several therapeutic activities such as analgesic, anti-inflammatory and anti-ulcer. The adulteration may be done with come monoterpenes like Pinene or Camphene and with diluents, since with major components of the oil could be difficult due to the non-commercialization of these.
