Ginger oleoresin was emulsified with gum acacia and encapsulated in a sucrose matrix by co-crystallization. The increased void space and surface area of sucrose provided a porous base for the incorporation of oleoresin. This co-crystallization led to modification from crystalline to irregular agglomerates, as evident from X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry. Hygroscopicity, water sorption isotherms and water activity demonstrated changes due to the change in crystallinity of sucrose. The active components such as [6]-, [8]- and [10]-gingerols and [6]-shogaol were quantified by HPLC. The encapsulation efficiency of [6]-gingerol was 45.59%. The storage kinetics at different relative humidity levels and temperatures indicated [6]-gingerol to be the most stable among the gingerols studied. A temperature of 25 °C and relative humidity of 33% proved to be the best storage conditions for the ginger flavoured sugar cubes. Thus, co-crystallization for the encapsulation of ginger oleoresin serves a dual purpose, i.e., protection and a mode of delivering a spicy flavour.

Article Synopsis
- This study focused on extracting ginger oleoresin from Chinese ginger using a CO supercritical fluid extraction method, achieving a yield of 0.52%.
- The main volatile compound identified was zingiberene, and 17 phenolic compounds were also detected, with strong antioxidant activities, particularly by zingerone.
- The ginger oleoresin demonstrated significant anticancer effects on HGC-27 human gastric cancer cells by inhibiting cell growth and inducing apoptosis, suggesting its potential for therapeutic applications in food-drug development.

In recent years, natural ingredients have gained importance for therapeutic treatment due to their minimal toxicity. However, the delivery of these phytoconstituents poses a challenge to provide better efficacy. Current research reports the development of nanoemulgel (NEG) loaded with ginger oleoresin (GOR) and lipid guggul extract (LGE) for the management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Ginger oleoresin is widely used as a flavouring agent in many foods. But its bioactive components are unstable as being sensitive to heat, humidity and light. Hence this study proposes the encapsulation of ginger oleoresin in order to protect it and regulate its release in the gastrointestinal system via spray drying utilising whey protein isolate (WPI) and gum Acacia (GA) as wall materials.

Pharmacological doses of zinc oxide (ZnO) have been widely used in pig industry to control post-weaning diarrhea (PWD) symptoms exacerbated by enterotoxigenic F4 infections. Because of environmental issues and regulatory restrictions, ZnO is no longer sustainable, and novel nutritional alternatives to manage PWD are urgently required. Botanicals represent a wide class of compounds employed in animal nutrition because of their diverse beneficial functions.
