Metabolite Identification
Common NameGingerol
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 sweet bays (Laurus nobilis), star anises (Illicium verum), ceylon cinnamons (Cinnamomum verum), nutmegs (Myristica fragrans), and caraways (Carum carvi). This could make gingerol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Gingerol is a primary metabolite. Primary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically essential metabolites. They are directly involved in an organism’s growth, development or reproduction. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Gingerol.
