What are Spice Oleoresins?
Spice oleoresins are the concentrated extracts of spices obtained through solvent extraction. They represent the total flavour of the particular spice in question — as extracts are rich in compounds capable of providing aroma, taste, colour, and pungency — making oleoresins additives of interest to the food industry.
Some of the main spice oleoresins applied by the food industry are from black pepper, cinnamon, ginger, paprika, and turmeric. They are widely used in food products like processed meat to add aroma or flavour as well as an ingredient in seasonings for sauces, culinary pastes, and snacks.
