Paprika Oleoresin is a natural colour and flavour extract obtained through controlled solvent extraction of dried, fully ripe Capsicum annuum fruits. It delivers intense red to reddish-brown colour, excellent oil solubility, and a mild, sweet paprika aroma with negligible pungency.

Our Paprika Oleoresin is specifically produced for food colouring and flavouring applications, offering consistent colour strength, stability, and clean sensory profile. It is widely used as a natural alternative to synthetic colours in processed foods, seasonings, sauces, meat products, snacks, and dairy applications.
