Supercritical Extraction Technology Injects New Vitality Into the Ginger Extract Industry

Ginger, as a typical example of food and medicine being the same, contains various active ingredients such as gingerol, shogaol, and gingerene, and possesses numerous physiological activities such as antioxidation, anti-inflammation, and antibacterial properties. In the current era of the booming big health industry, Ginger Extracts, due to their rich bioactive components, are increasingly widely used in the fields of food, medicine, and cosmetics. However, traditional extraction techniques, such as solvent extraction and steam distillation, have problems such as low extraction efficiency, easy component degradation, and solvent residue. The emergence of supercritical extraction technology has effectively solved these problems.

Supercritical extraction technology uses carbon dioxide as the extraction agent. Under the supercritical state (with a temperature of ≥ 31.1℃ and a pressure of ≥ 7.38 MPa), carbon dioxide possesses both the high diffusivity of a gas and the high solubility of a liquid. It can rapidly penetrate into the interior of ginger cells, dissolve and extract effective components such as gingerols and shogaols, and then separate the extracted substances from the carbon dioxide gas by reducing pressure or raising temperature. The entire process is environmentally friendly and has no solvent residues.

With the continuous deepening of the health consumption trend, it is expected that the market size of ginger extract used in health supplements will reach 8 billion yuan by 2028, with an annual growth rate of over 20%. Facing this broad market prospect, our company will continue to increase investment in research and development of supercritical extraction technology, continuously optimize the process, and improve product quality and production capacity. At the same time, we also look forward to cooperating with more upstream and downstream enterprises to jointly explore the market for ginger extract, and provide consumers with more high-quality and natural products.

Our ginger is originally from Yunnan. We strictly control the raw materials at the source, meeting European standards. It is free of pesticide residues and ethylene oxide, has a high content, and can be supplied stably. Risun is a technology oriented enterprise specializing in the research and development, production, and sales of natural Plant Extracts. Focusing on functional foods, health products, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. If you have any interest in our products, please feel free tp contact us:
