Scfe/co₂ Extracted Ginger Oil & Oleoresin

Ginger Oil obtained through Supercritical CO₂ Extraction is a premium, solvent-free essential oil that captures the complete volatile profile of ginger rhizomes. Unlike steam-distilled ginger oil, SCFE-extracted oil is richer in gingerols, shogaols, and sesquiterpenes (zingiberene, β-sesquiphellandrene, ar-curcumene), offering enhanced flavor, aroma, and therapeutic properties.

The oil is a light to pale yellow liquid with a warm, spicy, and fresh ginger aroma, making it highly suitable for food, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic applications.
