    Manufacturing Step in Ginger Oil Processing

    Fresh ginger is cleaned, chopped, and pressed to extract juice. The juice is separated into starch, which is dried, and liquid containing 60-70% of ginger's essential oil. This liquid undergoes simple distillation to recover the oil. Alternatively, the chopped ginger undergoes steam distillation to extract oil from both the solid and liquid phases, yielding more oil. The process yields 0.4% essential oil and 0.8% oleoresin from fresh ginger.

    Manufacturing step in ginger oil processing.

    Step 1. General Process


    Freshly harvested ginger rhizomes are cleaned free of mud in a washing tank
    and the final cleaning is done by spraying water on to the ginger using a high
    pressure pump.

    The cleaned ginger is subjected to size reduction and reduced to a paste form
    using a hammer mill. Alternatively an ordinary grinder-mixer is also used for
    making the paste. (Cutting / Chopping / Grinding)

    The cleaned ginger is subjected to size reduction and reduced to a paste form
    using a hammer mill. Alternatively an ordinary grinder-mixer is also used for
    making the paste.

    The mashed-up ginger is manually fed into the screw press for dewatering.
    Some juice released during the mashing-up operation is also mixed with the
    juice collected in the dewatering step. (Cake Pressing)

    Fresh ginger contains 85-90% moisture. Moisture content is substantially


    removed in the compression process and the compression ratio is so adjusted
    that about 80-90% of the total moisture is removed from the material.

    The juice so obtained is allowed to settle for 5-8 hours for separation of starch.
    The juice is decanted and starch is washed with water free of juice and the
    washings are combined with the original juice. Starch is then dried and can be
    used as edible starch in food products. (This is intermediate step in which
    process by product can be obtained.

    Essential oil is recovered from the juice by simple distillation. The juice from
    ginger contains about 60-70% of the oil present in fresh ginger. The liquid
    mixture is simply boiled and the vapours condensed using a condenser to
    recover the oil. Alternatively, oil is recovered by indirect heating, steam
    distillation and also simple distillation after diluting the juice with water to get
    more or less the same yield of oil.

    This is the final Raw material which is used for steam distillation & further
    extraction of volatile oil from fresh ginger.

    Above given process is proposed for pre- preparation for ginger oil extraction
    which need convert in specific form to get more yield from ginger.
    Step 2. Steam Distillation process – Main process to extract oil from Ginger
    The oil is recovered from the aqueous phase by simple distillation and from the
    solid phase by steam distillation for maximum oil recovery. Oil obtained from
    both the phases are combined together and the combined oil represents the
    fresh ginger oil with the typical fresh spice note.

    “X” qty.of cleaned ginger of 88% moisture and 0.55% essential oil were cleaned
    free of mud as described in the general procedure. It was subjected to size
    reduction using a hammer mill. The masked up ginger will fed into the hydraulic
    press for dewatering: and 84% of water is removed in this step.

    oil is distributed between the solid and liquid phases in the ratio 2:4.5. The cake
    (4 kg) and juice (44 kg) were subjected to steam distillation and simple
    distillation. 70% oil recovery from the juice and 76% recovery from the cake
    were recorded.

    The solvent extracts after desolventisation by distillation under vacuum followed


    by removing the traces of solvent in thin film evaporator is mixed with the
    combined oil from cake and juice to get the total oleoresin.

    The cake after distillation can be dried at 55-60°C and used directly as ginger
    powder for food flavouring purposes wherever the pungency of ginger is
    desirable.

    Final product will collect from condensate chamber as essential oil & other by
    product can be further used as ginger powder/oleoresin etc.

    The overall yield of essential oil was 0.4% and that of oleoresin 0.8% based on
    fresh ginger.

    product can be further used as ginger powder/oleoresin etc.

    The overall yield of essential oil was 0.4% and that of oleoresin 0.8% based on
    fresh ginger.
