1. INTRODUCTION
Ginger (Zingiber officinale Rosc.) is an important commercial crop grown for its aromatic
rhizomes which is used both as a spice and a medicine. Ginger of commerce is the dried
rhizome. It is marketed in different forms such as raw ginger, dry ginger, bleached dry ginger,
ginger powder, ginger oil, ginger oleoresin, ginger ale, ginger candy, ginger beer, brined
ginger, ginger wine, ginger squash, ginger flakes etc. Ginger is the rhizome of Zingiber
officinale Rosc. a herbaceous perennial belonging to Zingiberoside, and is believed to be
native of south-eastern Asia. It is propagated through rhizomes. The rhizomes put forth erect,
leafy stems, 30-90 cm in height. The base of the leaves sheathes the stem. The leaves are dark
green, 15-20 cm long, narrow, lanceolate and with a prominent midrib. The flowers are small,
yellowish, speckled, each with a purple speckled lip and borne on a spike. When the plants
are about 9 months old, the green leaves turn yellow.
Ginger was one of the first of the oriental species to be introduced into Europe and later to the
Americas. The first-year crop is one of the best qualities. Regrowth of inferior and is known
as ratoon ginger. There are several forms of ginger. Dried ginger is prepared by drying the
peeled roots in the sun. Black ginger is made by boiling the roots in line water prior to
peeling white ginger is made by bleaching the roots. It is a widely grown crop of our country.
A genus of rhizomatous herbs distributed in the tropics of the old world, chiefly in India, East
Asia and Malaysia. Fourteen, species are reported to occur in India Z-officinale, which is the
main source of ginger, is cultivated on a large scale in India. The ginger of commerce is
prepared from the underground stem or rhizome of Zingiber officinale Rescue. It is also used
for medicinal purposes. Major ginger-producing areas of the world are India, Malaya, China,
West Africa, and the West Indies. Two types of edible gingers are grown, the large type
known locally as Chinese ginger and the small type known as Japanese Ginger. Only the
former type is grown to any great extent. Most of the planting areas are in small areas. There
are two types of Indian ginger cochin ginger, and Calicut ginger, which comes from Kerala, is
the peeled type, light brown to yellowish grey externally and other Calicut ginger, frozen
Malabar is orange or reddish. Indian ginger is starchier and is almost as pungent on Jamaican
ginger but is less agreeable in odour. Indian ginger has a faint lemon like odour due to the
presence of a small quality of citral. Indian species logo and Brand promotion market
invention and special subsides are expected to boost-ginger production. Hence ginger
cultivation yields good result for new investor and finds the trade is lucrative. The export
market is also quote favourable for all these products.
