Information profile @ a Glance
  • Oleoresins are flavoured compounds obtained by the solvent extraction of the ground spices. They have aroma and posses and attributes which contribute to the taste like pungency. All spices contain essential oils in various proportions which can be extracted by steam distillation.
  • Oleoresins have large domestic as well as export markets. They are consumed by broad spectrum of manufacturer like beverages, soup powders, curry powders, confectioneries, noodles, canned meats, sauces, poultry products and so on.
  • Various raw spices are cleaned and then ground to require meshing size. The extraction is undertaken with the help of proper solvent. The solvents that can be used are hexane, acetone, ethylene dichloride or alcohol. Extraction is done by percolation of the solvents at room temperature through a bed of ground spices packed in a SS percolator. The dark viscous extract containing not less than 10% of total soluble solids are drawn off and distilled under reduce pressure to remove the excess of solvent. The essential oil is obtained by steam distillation.
  • In contrast to essential oils, oleoresins contain many more non-volatiles. This fact makes them more interesting for the flavour and food industry. Non-volatiles are substances that do not vaporise easily. They are not lost when exposed to open air. In fact, oleoresins combine the volatiles and non-volatiles of plants to yield a morecomplete flavour profile. For example, pepper oleoresin contains the non-volatile piperine, whereas the essential
    oil of pepper does not. Piperine is the spicy hot part of pepper.
