6-Shogaol CAS 555-66-8

6-Shogaol, a homologous compound derived from the dehydration of gingerols, is a bioactive dietary phenol and a key active ingredient in processed ginger extracts used in specialized industrial formulations. This chemical substance functions as a potent pungent agent and a stabilizing antioxidant, characterized by its $\alpha, \beta$-unsaturated ketone structure which governs its distinct biological reactivity and thermal stability. In the development of functional food additives and health-related chemical intermediates, it is typically applied as a core reactive component for its free-radical scavenging capabilities and its role in modulating lipid-based delivery systems. We provide this material with competitive factory pricing, supporting requirements for customized specifications regarding purity levels and carrier matrices. All shipments are accompanied by comprehensive MSDS, TDS, COA documentation to ensure full regulatory traceability and are available for bulk supply for large-scale industrial manufacturing.
