alpinia galanga rhizome extract

Alpinia galanga rhizome extract is derived from the rhizomes of the greater galangal plant, scientifically known as Alpinia galanga (L.), which belongs to the Zingiberaceae family. This natural botanical extract exhibits a distinctive spicy odor and flavor profile that is valued in various sensory applications. It is also recognized by several synonyms, including Alpinia galanga, ext., greater galanga rhizome extract, and extract of the rhizomes of the greater galangal. The extract is typically obtained through solvent extraction methods from the mature rhizomes of the plant. For detailed chemical information, the extract is indexed under the PubChem compound identification system. The material presents as a concentrated extract, primarily used in flavor, fragrance, and cosmetic formulations.

Alpinia galanga rhizome extract occurs naturally in the plant galangal, which grows commonly in tropical regions and is part of the Zingiberaceae family. Its characteristic spicy aroma and flavor make it suitable for use as a flavor or fragrance ingredient, imparting warm and pungent sensory notes. In addition to flavor and fragrance applications, this extract finds utility in cosmetic products primarily for skin conditioning purposes, enhancing the sensory and functional profile of topical formulations. The extract’s safety and quality are supported by the International Fragrance Association (IFRA) standards (Global), which guide the appropriate use levels in fragrance materials to ensure consumer safety.

Alpinia galanga rhizome extract possesses organoleptic properties characterized by a spicy odor and flavor, consistent with the aromatic compounds naturally present in galangal rhizomes. Its physical form is typically a concentrated liquid extract, which facilitates incorporation into cosmetic and flavor formulations. The chemical complexity and presence of bioactive components influence its stability and interaction with other ingredients. While detailed solubility parameters are not specified, the extract’s compatibility with various formulation bases is inferred from its widespread cosmetic and flavor industry use. Its non-volatile constituents contribute to its lasting sensory impact, while the lack of classified hazards under OSHA regulations suggests manageable handling and formulation considerations.
