Oleoresins

Concentrated mixtures of spices and herbs are called oleoresins. They provide the food chain flavor and, in certain situations, color (paprika and turmeric, for example). Oleoresins find uses in the food, beverage, nutraceutical, health, livestock, agricultural, and personal care sectors. They include both volatile and non-volatile flavoring components. Their prolonged shelf life and uniform quality in terms of a standardized flavor and fragrance profile make them favored.
