Apart from its widespread culinary applications, ginger is valued for its potential health benefits attributed to the presence of gingerols and shogaols. For this reason, this work proposes the development of a microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) method for the extraction of gingerols and shogaols present in ginger rhizomes. The influence of the extraction temperature (50–100 °C), the solvent composition (50–100% ethanol in water), and the sample-to-solvent ratio (0.3–0.7 g sample: 20 mL) on the extraction of these bioactive compounds has been studied. To this end, a Box–Behnken experimental design (BBD) in combination with a response surface methodology (RSM) has been applied. The optimum conditions for the total extraction of gingerols and shogaols were: 87% ethanol in water, 100 °C, and 0.431 g of ginger sample in 20 mL solvent. The developed method required short extraction times (5 min) and demonstrated favorable levels of repeatability and intermediate precision (CV < 5%). Finally, the MAE method was successfully used for the extraction of gingerols and shogaols from a variety of ginger samples. © 2023 by the authors.}, publisher = {Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI)}, keywords = {Box–Behnken design}, keywords = {gingerols}, keywords = {microwave-assisted extraction}, keywords = {response surface methodology}, keywords = {shogaol}, keywords = {UHPLC-QToF-MS}, keywords = {Zingiber officinaleRosc}, title = {Determination of Gingerols and Shogaols Content from Ginger (Zingiber officinale Rosc.) through Microwave-Assisted Extraction}, doi = {10.3390/AGRONOMY13092288}, author = {Gonzalez-Gonzalez, Montserrat and Yerena-Prieto, Beatriz Juliana and Carrera Fernández, Ceferino Adrián and Vázquez Espinosa, Mercedes and Velasco González de Peredo, Ana and Garcia Alvarado, Miguel Angel and Palma Lovillo, Miguel and Rodríguez-Jimenes, Guadalupe del Carmen and Fernández Barbero, Gerardo}, }
