Oleoresins are natural extracts with a complex mixture of resins and fatty oils that are obtained via a solvent extraction process. They provide several advantages over conventional herbs and spices, including cost-efficiency, heat stability, flavor consistency, microbial contamination prevention, easy storage and handling, and long shelf life. The application of different oleoresins varies depending on their properties. For example, paprika oleoresin is mainly used as a colorant and flavoring agent in cheese, sauces, beverages, confectionery, and processed meat products. Black pepper oleoresins are widely utilized in health products as they impart taste and have antioxidant properties.
The rising demand for snacks and fast-food items on account of the increasing per capita income and changing consumer preferences represents one of the major factors positively influencing the application of oleoresins in the food and beverage (F&B) industry. Moreover, the growing interest in ethnic cuisines with exotic flavors due to significant growth in interpopulation is influencing the utilization of oleoresins in gourmet restaurants and luxury hotels. Additionally, improving awareness among individuals about maintaining health and increasing willingness to spend on high-quality products are encouraging food manufacturers to replace artificial ingredients with clean label ingredients. Apart from this, oleoresins are gaining traction in the pharmaceutical industry to prepare medicines and the personal care industry to manufacture soaps and body lotions. Furthermore, with the expanding agriculture industry wherein oleoresins are utilized as natural colorants and flavoring agents in animal feed for domestic livestock, their demand is anticipated to rise.
