PRODUCT INFORMATION

1. Product Overview

VietPlantEx is proud to be the first company in Vietnam to successfully research, develop, and commercialize Ginger Oil produced using Supercritical CO₂ Extraction Technology.

Vietnam possesses favorable climatic and geographical conditions for ginger cultivation, particularly in mountainous regions with fertile soil, abundant rainfall, and significant temperature variations between day and night. These natural advantages contribute to the production of ginger with a strong pungent taste, rich aroma, and high content of bioactive compounds.

To produce premium-quality Ginger Oil, VietPlantEx partners with specialized ginger-growing regions in Vietnam and applies advanced Supercritical CO₂ Extraction technology to preserve the natural characteristics and valuable active compounds of fresh ginger rhizomes.

The resulting product is a highly concentrated extract with a distinctive spicy aroma, rich flavor profile, and superior active compound content, making it suitable for food, nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic applications.

2. Key Advantages of VietPlantEx Supercritical CO₂ Ginger Oil

Vietnam’s First Supercritical CO₂ Ginger Oil

VietPlantEx Supercritical CO₂ Ginger Oil is the first ginger oil in Vietnam produced using advanced supercritical carbon dioxide extraction technology.

This sophisticated process requires state-of-the-art equipment, extensive technical expertise, and highly trained research and production teams. Compared to conventional extraction methods, Supercritical CO₂ technology offers significant advantages in terms of quality, purity, and preservation of active compounds.

The extraction process utilizes carbon dioxide under supercritical conditions to gently separate valuable natural constituents from ginger without leaving solvent residues. This technology is particularly suitable for producing premium oils, essential oils, and botanical extracts.

2.1. Exceptional Aroma Retention

In Ky Son District, Nghe An Province, VietPlantEx collaborates with local farmers to cultivate approximately 30 hectares of organically managed small ginger varieties. Thanks to the region’s unique climate and soil conditions, Ky Son ginger is characterized by its intense pungency and distinctive aromatic profile.

Supercritical CO₂ Ginger Oil preserves the authentic aroma and spicy characteristics of fresh ginger more effectively than conventional extraction methods, delivering a rich sensory experience highly valued in food, flavor, fragrance, and wellness applications.

2.2. Superior Retention of Bioactive Compounds

One of the most significant advantages of Supercritical CO₂ extraction is its ability to preserve the complete spectrum of ginger’s naturally occurring bioactive compounds.

Unlike traditional extraction methods that may degrade or fail to recover important constituents, Supercritical CO₂ Ginger Oil contains high levels of:

  • Gingerols
  • Shogaols
  • Natural aromatic compounds
  • Volatile flavor components

These compounds are responsible for ginger’s characteristic pungency, aroma, and functional properties.

The gentle extraction conditions help maintain compound integrity while maximizing extraction efficiency. Through optimized processing technology, VietPlantEx achieves:

  • Total Gingerols and Shogaols: >25%

Furthermore, the production process effectively controls and minimizes contaminants, including:

  • Pesticide residues
  • Heavy metals
  • Harmful microorganisms
  • Residual solvents

The result is a clean-label, high-purity ingredient suitable for demanding international markets.
