The Gigante ginger essential oil chemical composition varies with the distillation method and the rhizome's state. The essential oils from fresh and dried rhizomes were compared through their physico-chemical indices and GC composition. The general characteristics of the dry rhizome essential oil obtained using direct steam distillation are presented. The essential oil content was determined on the oleoresins obtained with differents solvents. The Brazilian ginger provides an essential oil yield of 2,2% and oleoresin yields varying from 6.91-10.90% (ethanol), 2.53-5.62% (acetone) and 3.35-3.91% (ethylene dichloride), appearing as interesting alternatives for rhizome utilization.  aDrying  aEssential oils  aGas chromatography  aGinger  aZingiber Officinale  aZingiber officinale roscoe1 aKOKETSU, M.1 aGONCALVES, S.
