8-Gingerol – CAS 23513-08-8

Planta Analytica offers high-purity 8-Gingerol reference standard (CAS 23513-08-8), expertly isolated from Zingiber officinale (ginger root). This phenolic ketone is a key bioactive compound in ginger, widely studied for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective properties.

8-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. Additionally, it plays a role in gastrointestinal health, supporting digestion and reducing nausea.

8-Gingerol contributes to the pungent, warming sensation of fresh ginger, though it is slightly less intense than 10-Gingerol. It has a spicy, earthy aroma with subtle citrus and woody undertones, making it useful in flavor formulations and fragrance applications. (1)

Upon thermal dehydration, 8-Gingerol converts into 8-Shogaol, which exhibits stronger antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Shogaols are more pungent and bioactive, making them essential in nutraceutical and medicinal formulations.

Our reference standard is ≥95% pure, ensuring precise analytical results for HPLC, MS, and NMR applications. Ideal for quality control, bioactivity studies, and formulation development, 8-Gingerol is available in customizable quantities for research and industrial use.
