Abstract
Oleoresin, a product derived from ginger rhizomes, contains a high concentration of active compounds and has the potential to be used not only as a medicine but also as a beneficial natural ingredient material to the human body. Ginger oleoresin is a valuable product that contains a variety of compounds and provides functional health benefits as well as immunity boosters to large groups of people. Gingerol is a key ingredient in ginger rhizome oleoresin extract. Gingerol (C17H26O4) is a compound found in ginger oleoresin that easily decomposes into Shogaols (C17H24O3). The ethanolic extract of zingiber rhizomes powder was processed with the best yield of oleoresin of 38.313% and concentration of [6]-gingerol of 0.39 mg/g extract, which was produced in 120 minutes at a temperature of 60 0C. While the best [6]-gingerol content in oleoresin was 1.33 mg/g extract with a ginger oleoresin yield of 21.821% produced under 50 0C extraction temperature in 60 minutes.
