Extracts, Oils & Oleoresins

EXTRACTS

Extracts of plant material contain concentrated amounts of the aromatic, colouring or functional components of a raw material.

They can be used as an ingredient in a wide variety of food and beverage applications to impart colour, add flavour, deliver a health claim, or provide other technical functions such as bittering or foaming. These are also widely used in flavour manufacturing.

There are various ways to make an extract; the method chosen depends on the components needed, the raw material and what form you want the final extract to take.

Category: Suggested applications: , , , , , , ,

The form could be an oil, oleoresin, solid extract (high viscosity), fluid extract (low viscosity) or powder extract.

  • If there is a principal component being extracted the product may be stated with the percentage of that substance following the name e.g. Naringin 2%, Hesperidin 5% etc.
  • If a more concentrated version of the raw material is required, then a ratio of the concentration in comparison to the original material may be shown e.g. 3:1, 10:1.

HERB, SPICE & OLEORESINS

These are an important sub category of extracts, since oils produced from herbs and spices are more concentrated in flavour and easier to use in food manufacturing than powdered spices.

  • Oil / Essential Oil – these are produced using steam distillation, a simple production process to produce a concentrated oil with all of the active components.
  • Oleoresin – these are produced using solvent extraction, with careful choice of the solvent these will result in an even higher concentration of required components.
