Active ingredients
The main components of ginger oil are α-zingiberene, β-bisabolene, gingerol, and shogaol, among which sesquiterpenoids account for 50%-66%.

Extraction Method

Steam distillation method:

The steam distillation method uses Dalton’s law of partial pressure to crush fresh or dried ginger before steaming, and then steam is introduced under normal pressure or high pressure. Then the ginger oil will be distilled at a temperature below its boiling point.

Supercritical CO₂ extraction: has the advantages of high extraction efficiency, high product purity, and good safety.

Raw material pretreatment: Select fresh, non rotten, and non spoiled ginger as the raw material.
Crushing: Grind ginger to an appropriate particle size for extraction.
Loading: Load the crushed ginger raw material into the extraction kettle.
Extraction: Under supercritical conditions, CO2 is introduced for extraction.
Separation: After extraction, CO2 is rapidly separated from the extracted essential oil by reducing pressure, resulting in high-purity ginger oil products.
