Wikipedia definition
2. GingerolGingerol, or sometimes [6 6]-gingerol, is the active constituent of fresh ginger. Chemically, gingerol is a relative of capsaicin and piperine, the compounds which give chilli peppers and black pepper their respective spicyness. It is normally found as a pungent yellow oil, but also can form a low-melting crystalline solid. Cooking ginger transforms gingerol into zingerone, which is less pungent and has a spicy-sweet aroma.
