High-quality Ginger Flavor used in food, shampoo and other industries

Product Introduction

Ginger flavor originates from the rhizome of the ginger plant (Zingiber officinale), a member of the ginger family. Its core characteristic is a powerful collision of spiciness and fragrance, combining a stimulating "spicy" flavor with a refreshing "fragrant" aroma, creating a unique complex flavor. Fresh ginger has a distinct flavor layer: a sharp, pungent spiciness (similar to the heat of pepper, but with a warmer flavor), followed by a refreshing citrus-like fruitiness and woody, herbal notes, followed by a light sweetness and a warm "burning" finish. Dried or ground ginger offers a richer, more intense flavor, with a longer-lasting spiciness and a hint of burnt aroma and mellowness.

Ginger holds a prominent place in culinary traditions around the world, often associated with functions such as "dispelling cold," "removing fishy smells," and "enhancing freshness." It is a core seasoning in Chinese cooking and a signature flavor in Western baking and beverages. Its "spicy yet refreshing" character makes it both functional and unique.

Ingredient

Spicy Core Components:
Gingerols: The primary pungent compound in fresh ginger, imparting a sharp, pungent, and warming sensation. Upon heating or drying, they partially convert to shogaols (intensifying and lasting the spiciness).
Gingerol derivatives, such as paradols, enhance the layered spiciness and contribute to the burning heat of the base.
Volatile Aroma Components:
Terpenes, such as zingiberene and phellandrene, are the core source of ginger's refreshing, fruity, and woody notes, reminiscent of a blend of citrus peel and pine needles.
Aldehydes and Ketones, such as hexanal and zingerone, impart a subtle sweetness and caramel aroma to ginger (especially noticeable in dried ginger), counteracting some of the sharp, spicy notes.
Esters and Alcohols: Small amounts, such as zingeryl acetate, soften the aroma and create a harmonious balance between the spicy and aromatic notes. Other supporting ingredients:
The starch, cellulose, and small amounts of sugars in ginger, while not directly contributing to flavor, do influence the roughness or smoothness of the mouthfeel. Minerals (such as potassium and magnesium) enhance its "natural health" properties.

Application:

Chinese Cuisine and Traditional Diet:
Seasoning and Removing Fishy Odors: Ginger is a core seasoning in Chinese stir-fries, stews, and braised dishes. Its pungent flavor effectively removes the fishy odor of meat and seafood, while also adding a rich base to dishes (e.g., stir-fried chicken with ginger, stewed lamb with ginger).
Soups and Medicinal Cuisine: Ginger soup (ginger and brown sugar) is a classic combination for dispelling cold. Ginger stewed with red dates, longan, and other ingredients creates a warming and tonic remedy, highlighting its "warming" properties.
Specialty Desserts: Ginger Milk (a traditional Cantonese dessert) and Ginger Tangyuan (glutinous rice balls) use the smoothness of milk to balance the spiciness of ginger, creating a unique "sweet and spicy fusion" taste. Western Food and Baking:
Baked Goods: Gingerbread (a traditional Christmas pastry), ginger cake, and ginger cookies. Pairing dried ginger powder with spices like cinnamon and cloves creates a warm, spicier balance of sweetness.
Drinks: Ginger beer (a non-alcoholic soft drink), ginger cider (apple cider), and ginger latte (coffee with ginger syrup) enhance the flavors of drinks with the spiciness of ginger, perfect for hot drinks in autumn and winter.
Sauces and Condiments: Ginger mustard and ginger mayonnaise complement sandwiches and grilled meats, offering a spicy counterpoint to the greasy flavor. Beverages and Functional Drinks:
Herbal Beverages: Ginger tea and ginger honey water, focusing on "natural health," are suitable for daily use or to relieve the early symptoms of a cold.
Innovative Beverages: Ginger sparkling water, ginger lemon tea, and ginger kombucha combine the spicy flavor of ginger with the refreshing bubbly to create a stimulating and thirst-quenching experience.
Alcoholic Beverages: Ginger whiskey and ginger rum use the ginger flavor to mask the alcohol's harshness and add complexity.
