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.
