DESCRIPTION

Ginger Oil occurs as a light yellow to yellow liquid with the aromatic, characteristic odor of ginger. It is the volatile oil obtained by steam distillation of the dried ground rhizome of Zingiber officianale, Roscoe (Fam. Zingiberaceae). It is soluble in most fixed oils and in mineral oil. It is soluble, usually with turbidity, in alcohol, but it is insoluble in glycerin and in propylene glycol.
