Oleoresin is a natural mixture of resin and essential oil extracted from various plant sources. It is typically obtained by tapping or extracting the resinous material from the plant, followed by solvent extraction or steam distillation to obtain the desired oleoresin product. The resin component provides viscosity, while the essential oil contributes to the aroma, flavor, and other properties.
Oleoresins are commonly used in the food industry as flavoring agents, as well as in the production of perfumes, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. They offer a concentrated form of the plant’s natural compounds, allowing for convenient and consistent utilization in various applications. It provides food formulators a cheaper option with more robust pungency than traditional spices. The flavor is about 5-20 times stronger than that of corresponding herbs as spices on a per kilo basis.
