Botanical Extract
Ginger
Zingiber officinale
Ginger rhizome extract is valued for two compound families — gingerols (pungent, dominant in fresh root) and shogaols (form as the root dries, more pungent still), plus zingiberene, which carries the warm, woody aroma. Extraction method genuinely changes the product here: CO2 extraction favors the aromatic fraction, solvent extraction pulls a broader-spectrum oleoresin, and steam distillation yields the pure essential oil.
