Paradol is the active flavor constituent of the seeds of Guinea pepper (Aframomum melegueta or grains of paradise).[1] It is also found in ginger.[2] Paradol has been found to have antioxidant and antitumor promoting effects in a mouse model.[3]

It is used in flavors as an essential oil to give spiciness.
