  • Applications

    Demethoxyshogaol (CAS 153311-54-7) is a ginger-derived phenolic compound considered for a range of industrial applications. In perfumery and personal care, it may serve as a fragrance ingredient contributing to spicy notes; in food processing, it may be evaluated as a flavor-related component in spice formulations. In cosmetics, it may function as an ingredient with potential antioxidant activity and bioactive properties in formulations. In chemical development and manufacturing, it can be used as an intermediate for the synthesis of ginger-derived compounds. It is also used as an analytical standard or reference material for characterizing ginger extracts, supporting quality control and research. As a plant-derived building block, it is studied for potential R&D applications, subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
