About this composition

This general fresh-ginger record is anchored to directly readable fresh-rhizome composition values summarized in a peer-reviewed public review. Those values distinguish fresh rhizome oil from dried ginger oil by retaining more bright citral and phellandrene character alongside the core sesquiterpene backbone.

What we're still learning · 2 data gaps

Good decisions start with knowing what is — and isn't — in the evidence.

The public source set for this general fresh-ginger record does not expose a directly readable product-specific COA, so the composition stays anchored to a peer-reviewed fresh-rhizome literature profile rather than a commercial lot.
Odor intensity 74 is a normalization of supplier and catalog language describing fresh ginger oil as warm, sharp, mouthwatering, and distinctly fresh rather than a native published 0-100 sensory score.
