Extraction method of ginger essential oil
The main methods of extracting ginger oil from ginger are steam distillation and solvent extraction. Steam distillation uses Dalton's law of partial pressure to mash fresh ginger or dried ginger before steaming, and then introduce steam under normal pressure or pressure to distill ginger oil at a temperature lower than its boiling point. This method mainly obtains volatile essential oil from ginger, but some phenolic derivatives such as gingerol are difficult to be distilled by steam because of their unique molecular structure, so steam distillation can only extract some flavor substances from ginger, and the high temperature in the distillation process will make the composition, smell and content of ginger oil worse. The chemical composition of ginger oil obtained by solvent extraction method is closely related to the selected solvent, but the solvent method is easy to be polluted by residual solvent and will precipitate and change color, so its use is limited.
To sum up, the ginger oil products produced by traditional ginger processing methods have obvious defects:
First, due to the limitations of the processing method itself, it is difficult to achieve color, fragrance and taste;
Second, due to the lack of uniform standards and different extraction methods, the composition and content of products will be quite different, which will affect their physical properties and bring great trouble to the use of terminals.
