Chemical Information
FooDB Name(S)-[6]-Gingerol
DescriptionGingerol belongs to the class of organic compounds known as gingerols. Gingerols are compounds containing a gingerol moiety, which is structurally characterized by a 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl group substituted at the C6 carbon atom by a 5-hydroxy-alkane-3-one. Gingerol is a pungent tasting compound. Gingerol is found, on average, in the highest concentration within gingers (Zingiber officinale). Gingerol has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as cloves (Syzygium aromaticum), star anises (Illicium verum), ceylon cinnamons (Cinnamomum verum), pepper (spice), and nutmegs (Myristica fragrans). This could make gingerol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Gingerol.
