Ginger oil

Ginger oil (CAS 8007-08-7), FEMA 2522, is a steam-distilled essential oil derived from the rhizomes of Zingiber officinale. It delivers the characteristic warm, spicy aromatic profile of ginger and is used commercially as a flavoring agent.

This versatile ingredient serves as a fragrance component and functional additive across food, personal care, and pharmaceutical applications. In food and beverage manufacturing, it flavors confectionery, baked goods, sauces, and marinades.

It is particularly effective in carbonated drinks where a natural ginger note is required for authentic taste profiles. Personal care formulators incorporate it into perfumes, body care products, and hair treatments for its distinctive warm scent.

The oil also provides an antioxidant contribution to formula stability in various cosmetic applications. In pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products, it functions as a flavoring agent in oral preparations, lozenges, and dietary supplements.

Beverage producers also use it in alcoholic and non-alcoholic ginger-flavored drinks as a cost-effective alternative to fresh ginger extraction. Ginger oil is supplied as a pale yellow to amber mobile liquid for industrial use.

It is available in food-grade and cosmetic-grade specifications, with food-grade material conforming to FCC and FEMA standards. This ensures the highest level of safety and compliance for global manufacturers.

Packaging typically ranges from small drums to bulk quantities to suit different production scales. Organic-certified material is available from select origins including India, China, and Nigeria to meet specific formulation needs.
