Dried ginger has become a prized ingredient in health, culinary, and cosmetic industries worldwide. But behind its bold flavor and therapeutic benefits lies a crucial process—extraction. At Ajigofarms, we understand that the quality of dried ginger extracts hinges on the techniques used to derive its potent compounds.
There are several popular methods of extracting ginger’s valuable constituents, particularly gingerol and shogaol. Steam distillation is a traditional technique used to obtain essential oil from dried ginger, preserving its aromatic and medicinal qualities. Meanwhile, solvent extraction—often with food-safe ethanol—yields concentrated extracts for use in tinctures, capsules, and functional foods.
A more advanced method, supercritical CO₂ extraction, is gaining traction for its ability to deliver highly pure ginger extract without chemical residues. This technique uses pressurized carbon dioxide to pull bioactive compounds from the dried root, ensuring a cleaner, more potent product.
Each technique affects the flavor, potency, and application of the final extract. For health-conscious consumers and formulators alike, understanding these methods helps in selecting the right product.
At Ajigofarms, we ensure that the dried ginger we deliver meets the highest quality standards—perfect for manufacturers, retailers, and individual buyers across the globe.
