ABSTRACT:     (E)-1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl) butadiene (DMPBD) and (E)-4-(3?,4?-dimethoxyphenyl)-but-3-en-1-ol (Compound D), both phenylbutanoids, are recognized as potent anti-inflammatory agents predominantly found in the essential oil or rhizome extract of Zingiber montanum. The instability of phenylbutanoids plays a pivotal role in determining the efficacy of formulations containing extracts or essential oils derived from Z. montanum rhizomes. This current study aimedtodemonstratetheimpactoftemperatureontheCompoundDandDMPBDpresentinZ.montanum extract (ZME) and Z. montanum oil (ZMO) obtained by hot oil extraction. The stability of Compound D and DMPBD is assessed by investigating thermal degradation kinetics and predicting shelf life using Arrhenius plot models. The f indings unveiled that Compound D and DMPBD exhibit degradation following a first-order kinetic model. Under this model, the predicted shelf life of ZME at 25?C for Compound D and DMPBD amounts to 12.14 days and 10.18 days, respectively. In contrast, the anticipated shelf life of these compounds in ZMO extends to 480.31 days and 188.57 days, respectively. Consequently, Compound D and DMPBD within ZMO hold significant promise for further advancement in product development.
