Description
What it is. Ginger oleoresin is an extract obtained from the rhizome of Zingiber officinale Roscoe, through solvent extraction. It is a concentrated aromatic material, rich in volatile and pungent compounds characteristic of ginger. Its exact composition varies according to botanical origin and extraction process.
What it is for. It is used as a sensory additive, within the functional group of flavouring compounds, to impart or reinforce an aromatic note in feed. It would generally be used in very small amounts, alongside other flavourings, to improve palatability or organoleptic consistency of a formulation. Its use potentially concerns several species and physiological stages, depending on formulation practices.
Points to watch. As a flavouring substance within functional group 2b, its use must comply with the regulatory provisions applicable to this category, without exceeding authorised uses. Compositional variability depending on batch and origin can affect perceived aromatic intensity; storage away from light and heat is recommended to preserve the stability of volatile compounds.
