About This Product
Turmeric Oleoresin
Turmeric oleoresin is a concentrated extract of dried turmeric rhizomes — capturing curcuminoids (curcumin, bisdemethoxycurcumin, demethoxycurcumin) and turmeric's characteristic volatile oil fraction in a single viscous extract. It is classified as food colourant E100 and is the most widely used natural yellow colourant in the global food industry, chosen as the preferred alternative to synthetic Yellow 5 (tartrazine) and Yellow 6.
PAX Herbal produces turmeric oleoresin from high-curcumin Rajasthan turmeric. The standard oil-soluble grade contains 45–50% curcuminoids. Water-dispersible grades (using food-safe emulsifiers) are available for beverage, dairy and water-based food applications. Residual solvent is below 25ppm. Colour stability under heat and UV is excellent — making it the preferred choice for baked goods, dairy and processed food.
