Natural Oleoresins for Flavor, Color & Performance
Choose from 60+ expertly crafted solvent-extracted botanicals that elevate your product’s sensory experience.
Oleoresins
An oleoresin is a natural flavoring prepared by extracting a botanical (plant, spice, or herb) with a non-potable volatile solvent, which is later removed. Oleoresins are the building blocks of many natural flavorings and are added to almost every food and beverage application. Trilogy’s portfolio of 60+ oleoresins is created from natural botanicals such as capsicum (for spicy heat), cinnamon bark, nutmeg, paprika (for red color), pepper (black and white), and turmeric (for yellow color). Our oleoresins produce excellent standardized flavor, aroma, color, and texture. In addition, our products are free from contamination, offer flexibility in food systems at a lower cost, extend shelf life, and are easy to ship and store.
The Power of Natural Oleoresins
The typical solvents used for extraction are acetone, CO2, ethyl acetate, methanol, and hexane. The choice of solvent used in extraction is determined by the starting material or spice used.
Oleoresins contain the following components:
- Essential oils (volatiles that provide aroma and flavor)
- Non-volatiles (products which provide pungency or warmth)
- Fixed oils (typically found in seeds)
- Pigments (from paprika and turmeric)
- Natural antioxidants (which inhibit flavor and color degradation)
