Oleoresin Paprika 1K ASTA Water Miscible

1K ASTA Water Soluble Paprika Oleoresin

This Paprika Oleoresin, also known as Paprika extract, is an water-soluble extract from the fruits of the red pepper plant, and is typically used as a coloring and flavoring agent during food production. It is highly concentrated and is prepared from a hexane extraction of paprika (Capsicum annum L.) that is blended with sunflower oil to standardize color levels.  Polysorbate is added as an emulsifer. Foods coloured with paprika oleoresin include cheese, orange juice, spice mixtures, sauces, sweets and emulsified processed meats. In chicken feed, it is used to deepen the color of egg yolks

This particular product is rated as 1000 ASTA (1K ASTA), and is one of our lighter colored oleoresins, while still maintaining a deep red hue. It appears as a deep, dark red viscous oil.  It has a flavor and aroma typical of paprika extract.
