Paprika Oleoresin

Paprika oleoresin (Capsicum annuum).

Paprika oleoresin is an extract derived from the flesh and seeds of the paprika chili pepper. It’s used in a variety of applications, from adding color to food products to imparting a distinct flavor profile on snacks, sauces, and seasonings. The degree of color and flavor strength can be easily altered by adjusting the concentration of the extract. While this product isn’t as vibrant or flavorful as natural paprika, it is much more soluble and has increased stability in acidic applications. Paprika oleoresin also offers longer shelf-life, cost savings, and consistent coloring characteristics – making it popular with food manufacturers who are looking to cut costs while still delivering an attractive product.
