Product Constituents - Ginger Oil

Zingiber Officinale Roscoe

Dried Ginger consists of:

     
  Ginger root (dried)  
     
  Principal constituents by %  
  starch 40-60
  protein 10
  fat 10
  fibre 6
  inorganic material 6
  residual moisture 10
  essential oil 1-4
     

After harvesting the roots/rhizomes are roughly classified into three categories namely, Fresh, Dry and Propagation. The essential oil from a dry root will be quite different to the essential oil from a fresh production, which is quite remarkable when you consider that there are over 200 known constituents in Ginger oil. We have listed the following table as an indication of a typical Chinese oil against a lesser-known Sri Lankan oil, comparing dry and fresh productions of both:
