India is the world's largest ginger producer, as well as the world's largest producer of dry ginger. According to ginger chemical study, it has around 400 distinct chemicals. Carbohydrates (60–70%), lipids (3–6%), terpenes, and phenolic compounds are the primary ingredients in ginger rhizomes. Zingiberene, -bisabolene, -farnesene, -sesquiphellandrene, and -curcumene are terpene components of ginger, while gingerols, shogaols, and paradols are phenolic chemicals. 6-gingerol is one among the most prevalent gingerols. The phenolic chemicals in ginger, such as gingerols and shogaols, are principally responsible for its health benefits.
