6-Gingerol
CAS: 23513-14-6
CAT: 9041
Abstract
6-Gingerol reference standard (CAS 23513-14-6), expertly isolated from Zingiber officinale (ginger root). This phenolic ketone is the primary pungent compound in fresh ginger, widely studied for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer properties.
6-Gingerol exhibits potent anti-inflammatory effects, making it valuable in pain management and arthritis research. It has demonstrated anticancer potential, particularly in inhibiting tumor progression and metastasis. Additionally, it plays a role in gastrointestinal health, supporting digestion and reducing nausea. (1)
6-Gingerol is responsible for the sharp, spicy sensation of fresh ginger, contributing to its characteristic warming effect. It has a strong, earthy aroma with subtle citrus and woody undertones, making it a key component in flavor formulations and fragrance applications.
Upon thermal dehydration, 6-Gingerol converts into 6-Shogaol, which exhibits stronger antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Shogaols are more pungent and bioactive, making them essential in nutraceutical and medicinal formulations.
