Spice and herb oleoresins fixed on a food-grade carrier, giving a dry, free-flowing powder that is easy to weigh, blend and dose. Supplied from New Delhi for masala, seasoning, tea and food manufacturers in India, and for export.
Raw oleoresin is a thick, sticky liquid that clings to vessels. On a carrier it becomes a free-flowing powder you can weigh and blend like any dry ingredient.
Flavour and pungency spread uniformly through a dry mix, so every pack of masala or seasoning tastes the same.
Fixing the oleoresin on a carrier limits its exposure to oxygen, which helps flavour and colour last.
Loading is set per specification, so the strength you buy this month matches the next order.
Each of these can be discussed for encapsulation. Every page lists the botanical name, key actives and test method.
An oleoresin is the concentrated extract of a spice or herb, containing both its volatile oil (aroma) and its resin (pungency and colour). "Encapsulated" means that extract has been fixed onto a food-grade carrier, giving a dry, free-flowing powder instead of a viscous liquid.
An essential oil is only the volatile fraction, usually steam-distilled. An oleoresin is solvent-extracted and carries the resin as well, so it is stronger and closer to the whole spice. An encapsulated oleoresin is the same oleoresin in powder form on a carrier, which is easier to handle in dry blends.
Our catalogue lists oleoresins of black pepper, white pepper, capsicum, paprika, ginger, turmeric, cumin, clove, cinnamon, coriander, fennel, dill seed, garlic, onion, nutmeg, mace, coffee and hing (asafoetida), and we can discuss encapsulating them for your blend.
