➢ Product Name: Ginger Extract
➢ Latin Name: Zingiber officinale Roscoe
➢ Plant Part Used: Dried rhizome of Zingiberaceae Zingiber officinale
Manufactured from dried ginger rhizome via sorting-impurity removal, ethanol-water composite extraction, macroporous resin enrichment-purification, vacuum concentration and aseptic spray-drying. The product retains natural active components of ginger, mainly gingerols (gingerol, zingiberone, shogaol), ginger volatile oil and flavonoids, without artificial monomer blending or extra exogenous auxiliary materials. It exhibits physiological activities including anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation and gastrointestinal regulation, serving as a classic Chinese medicine-food homologous raw material. Compared with ordinary ginger powder, enriched extract delivers higher concentration of active ingredients with multi-component synergistic effects, suitable for development of functional foods and dietary supplements for gastrointestinal conditioning and warming-body anti-oxidation purposes.
➢ Raw Material Source: 100% extracted from ginger rhizome, free of starch, dextrin and other exogenous additives.
➢ Processing Grade: Low-temperature first-grade refined extract. Thermal degradation and transformation of gingerol-type components are controlled; no artificial blending. Impurities, solvent residues, heavy metals and pesticide residues are strictly controlled to meet safety limits for food-grade raw materials.
➢ Core Indicators: Total gingerols (HPLC) 5%-20%, volatile oil 2%-8%. Multiple customized grades are available, as well as de-pungency modified grades.
➢ Physical and Chemical Properties: Yellow-brown to brown fine powder. Gingerols are sensitive to heat and oxygen. Encapsulation modification is available to improve stability and water-dispersibility for multiple dosage-form development.
➢ Applicable Dosage Forms: Tablets, capsules, soft capsules, solid beverages, pressed candies, compound powders and others.
➢ Storage Properties: Sealed, light-proof and moisture-proof. Store in cool and dry place, isolate from air to guarantee gingerol activity.
➢ Authentic Raw Material, High-purity & High-activity:
Select mature ginger rhizomes with strictly controlled harvesting and processing timing. Sufficient intrinsic content of gingerols and volatile oil guarantees raw-material activity foundation from the source.
➢ Low-temperature Activity Lock, Natural Components:
Adopt mild extraction and resin-enrichment processes to reduce degradation of heat-sensitive gingerols and preserve natural component ratio of rhizomes. Synergistic performance of natural compound system outperforms single gingerol monomer.
➢ Zero-adulteration Purity, Safe & Compliant:
Free of blending, fillers, pigments, flavors, preservatives and harmful auxiliaries. Residues and microorganisms are strictly controlled complying with domestic medicine-food homologous regulations, USP and EP quality standards.
➢ Strong Compatibility, Full-scenario Adaptation:
Mainly ethanol-soluble; encapsulated modified grades show excellent water-dispersibility. Can be used alone or compounded with other botanical extracts. De-pungency grades fit formulas requiring low irritation.
➢ Standardized Production, Stable Batch Quality:
Produced in 100,000-class GMP workshop. Tested by HPLC and UV dual-methods. Key indicators of total gingerols and volatile oil are strictly controlled for uniform batch quality and full traceability.
Uniform fine powder from yellow-brown to brown with natural herbal color, loose, delicate and good fluidity. It bears characteristic pungent ginger aroma, free of mildewed, rancid or scorched peculiar odor. Conventional grades show limited water dispersibility. Encapsulated modified products achieve favorable water-solubility while reducing pungent irritation. De-pungency grades have obviously weakened spicy odor, with better overall quality than ordinary ginger crude powder.
Multi-component synergistic system centered on gingerols, supplemented by sesquiterpene volatile oil and flavonoids. Gingerols and shogaols are prone to thermal-oxidative degradation and component transformation under high temperature and air exposure. Micro-capsule encapsulation significantly improves heat-oxidation resistance and remedies the defects of easy deactivation and strong irritation of ordinary ginger extract.
Good formulation compatibility. Conventional ethanol-soluble grades are mainly applied in capsules and soft capsules; encapsulated water-dispersible grades fit solid beverages and instant foods; de-pungency versions are preferred for formulas sensitive to taste irritation. Long-time high-temperature processes shall be avoided during production. Compatible with most solid-dosage industrial processes to satisfy mass-production and high-end customized development.
Food-grade high-barrier light-proof packaging isolates oxygen, moisture and light to slow down oxidative degradation and moisture caking of gingerols. Store at cool room temperature without freezing. Use up promptly after opening. Flexible packaging specifications support lab-scale R&D, pilot test and large-scale production.
Ginger active complex, mainly 6-gingerol, 8-gingerol, 10-gingerol, shogaol and zingiberone, together with zingiberene-type volatile oil and flavonoid components. Synergy of multiple components forms the material basis for anti-oxidation, anti-inflammatory repair and gastrointestinal regulation.
Gingerols and flavonoids contain phenolic hydroxyl groups, which directly scavenge reactive-oxygen free radicals and inhibit lipid peroxidation. They up-regulate activities of endogenous antioxidant enzymes including SOD and glutathione to build anti-oxidant defense barriers and alleviate cell damage induced by oxidative stress.
Modulate NF-κB signaling pathway, down-regulate release of pro-inflammatory factors including TNF-α and IL-6, inhibit chronic low-grade inflammatory responses in vivo and mitigate inflammatory damage triggered by oxidative stress.
Gingerols modulate gastrointestinal smooth-muscle movement, assist in relieving gastrointestinal discomfort, regulate digestive juice secretion and maintain normal physiological status of digestive tract, representing the characteristic target of this raw material.
Synergistic effects of active volatile oil and gingerols assist in improving peripheral blood circulation and produce warming sensation, widely adopted in warming-related formulas.
Gingerol-type active components act on cell membranes, mitigate free-radical attack against membrane lipids, maintain cell-membrane structural integrity and reduce cell damage induced by external oxidative stimuli.
Medicine-food homologous raw material for health foods, applied in capsules, tablets and solid beverages for consumers with gastrointestinal conditioning and anti-oxidation demands.
Common herbal raw material for domestic and overseas dietary supplements, featured with gastrointestinal care and warming-body anti-oxidation. Developable into tablets, capsules and compound powders for domestic and overseas consumer markets.
Applied in pressed candies, solid beverages and instant powders. Often compounded with curcuma extract, pueraria extract and cinnamon extract to manufacture warming-nourishing functional foods.
For scientific-research institutes and enterprise new-product development. Customized raw materials with different gingerol contents, encapsulation modification and de-pungency treatment are available to support high-end compound-product development for gastrointestinal care and anti-oxidation purposes.
Meets quality requirements of USP and EP. Complete test documents are available for bulk export to global markets. It is one of mainstream medicine-food homologous botanical raw materials in international markets.
Full assessment on irritation and safety shall be performed for pet-formula adoption. After safety evaluation, limited addition is allowed in pet nutritional tablets and powders for gastrointestinal-conditioning directions.
