Ginger extracts have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antitumor, and antibacterial activities mainly due to gingerols and shogaols. Extract composition and functionality can be affected by drying and extraction processes. Alternative methods to obtain ginger extracts based on high contents of gingerols and shogaols have been reported. However, there were no studies that present a broad overview of how these methods affect the composition and functionalities of ginger extracts. Based on literature data from 2011 to 2022, this review shows how drying, extraction, and complementary processes (i.e., enzymatic, acidic, and carbonic maceration) affect the composition and bioactivity of the ginger extract. Lower temperature processes, including freeze-drying, cold ultrasound-, or enzyme-assisted extraction, lead to extracts richer in phenolics, gingerols, and antioxidant activity. On the other hand, acidic solvents or "hot" processes including microwave-drying, pressurized liquid, and microwave-assisted extraction can favor higher shogaols concentrations, which have higher antitumor, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial activities than the gingerols precursors. Thus, in this review, we analyzed and discussed the relation between ginger processing and their bioactive compounds, focusing especially on gingerols and shogaols, as well as the main processes that increase the content of 6-shogaol without compromising other phenolic compounds to produce highly functional extracts for future applications in the food packaging sector.

Article Synopsis
- Controlled glycation of proteins can lead to harmful compounds called AGEs, especially when blood glucose levels are high, prompting research into natural protective agents like ginger extract.
- In experiments, human serum albumin (HSA) was treated with glucose alone or with ginger extract, revealing ginger's ability to inhibit glycation and reduce harmful modifications to the protein over ten weeks.
- The study concluded that ginger extract has antioxidant properties and can prevent the biochemical and structural changes associated with glycation in HSA, suggesting its potential use in managing health issues related to diabetes and other diseases.

Article Synopsis
- Cervical cancer remains a major health issue for women globally, and this review focuses on the potential anti-cancer properties of turmeric and ginger compounds, specifically curcumin, 6/10-gingerol, and 6/10-shogaol.
- The review analyzed data from 27 studies examining how these compounds affect cervical cancer through various signaling pathways in both lab and animal models.
- While curcumin and ginger compounds show promise as therapies, more research is needed to understand their combined effects and long-term efficacy, particularly against resistant cervical cancer cells.

Unlabelled: 6-Gingerol is a major phenolic compound within ginger (), often used in healthcare; however, its lower bioavailability is partly due to its poor solubility. Four bacterial glycosyltransferases (GTs) were tested to glycosylate 6-gingerol into soluble gingerol glucosides. UGT489 was a suitable GT to biotransform 6-gingerol into five significant products, which could be identified via nucleic magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry as 6-gingerol-4',5---diglucoside (), 6-gingerol-4'---glucoside (), 6-gingerol-5---glucoside (), 6-shogaol-4'---glucoside (), and 6-shogaol ().
