Understanding the material
The processed part is a rhizome, rather than a botanical root. IFF describes its ginger CO₂ extract with fresh-cut and lemon-like facets over a more earthy background. Different processes capture different balances, so a distilled oil and a CO₂ extract should not be assumed to be identical simply because both are labelled ginger.
Compare a ginger interpretation with bergamot and cardamom. Which part feels peel-like, which feels herbal, and which creates the impression of freshly cut spice?
