Oleoresins are concentrated liquid extracts derived from spices and herbs through solvent extraction. They contain a combination of essential oils and resinous compounds, thereby preserving taste, aroma, color, and bioactive constituents of the source material.
Consistent flavor and color, ease of use, availability in both liquid and powder formats, lower microbial load, and long shelf make them reliable and versatile ingredients.
They find application in savoury foods like seasonings, pickles, sauces, RTEs, beverages, meat/poultry/seafood, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical products to name a few.
These are the powder format of oleoresins (and essential oils) and are used where liquid extracts are not suitable. The liquid extracts are coated (plated) over neutral carriers like salt, starch, dextrose, maltodextrin, or gum depending on the requirement and application, thereby offering high flexibility and customization. Common use areas include soup premixes, seasonings, masalas, and snacks, among others.
The Encapsulated format is essentially spray dried oleoresins and essential oils that allow for controlled flavor release and provide increased shelf life and protection against flavor loss. They are actively used in tea / coffee premixes, RTE / RTD / RTC foods and beverages, seasonings, and masalas.
