Botanical Identity
Greater galangal is the commercial name commonly used for the dried rhizome of Alpinia galanga (L.) Willd. The plant belongs to the Zingiberaceae family and develops aromatic underground rhizomes.
The accepted botanical identity can be checked through Plants of the World Online, maintained by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.
Greater galangal should not be confused with lesser galangal, Alpinia officinarum, or aromatic ginger, Kaempferia galanga. Because regional names such as kulanjan and khulanjan may be applied inconsistently, professional orders should always specify the required botanical name.

Applications
Food and Spice Manufacturing
Dried galangal rhizome is used as an aromatic ingredient in spice blends, curries, soups, sauces, marinades, pickles and other prepared foods. Its flavor is distinct from ordinary ginger and combines pungent, citrus-like and mildly pine-like notes.
Beverage and Flavor Processing
Galangal may be used by manufacturers of botanical infusions, syrups, flavored beverages, extracts and specialty flavor preparations. The buyer is responsible for confirming suitability and permitted use in the destination market.
Botanical Extract Manufacturing
The dried rhizome can be processed into extracts or incorporated into professional botanical formulations. Required quality parameters should be specified before ordering.
Cosmetic and Fragrance Formulations
Galangal-derived extracts and aromatic materials may be evaluated for suitable cosmetic, personal-care or fragrance formulations. Use depends on the manufacturer’s formulation, testing and applicable regulations.
Wholesale Repacking and Distribution
Whole and cut dried galangal rhizomes are suitable for ingredient distributors, wholesalers and repacking companies serving food, botanical and specialty-product markets.
