The distinction

Spice oil or oleoresin? They are not interchangeable

A spice oil is the volatile aromatic fraction, distilled out of the spice — it carries the aroma and the top-note character but leaves the pungency and the colour behind. An oleoresin is a solvent extract containing both the volatile oil and the non-volatile actives: the capsaicin in chilli, the curcumin in turmeric, the piperine in pepper, the colour in paprika.

Which one you need depends on what you are trying to deliver. Flavour houses generally want the oil for aroma and the oleoresin for impact and colour; nutraceutical formulators almost always want the oleoresin, because the active they are claiming on lives in the non-volatile fraction. We supply both against a declared specification, so you are buying a number rather than a name.

  • Oils— steam distilled, specified by volatile oil content and GC-MS profile
  • Oleoresins— specified by active percentage: capsaicin, curcumin, piperine, colour value
  • Dispersible and encapsulated formsavailable for dry blending applications
  • Residual solvent clearanceby GC headspace on every solvent-extracted lot
  • Food grade throughout, with FSSAI documentation and Spices Board registration

Frequently asked

Questions buyers ask about this range

The oil is the volatile aromatic fraction, obtained by steam distillation — it carries aroma but not pungency or colour. The oleoresin is a solvent extract containing both the volatile oil and the non-volatile actives, so it carries the heat, the colour and the standardised compound your label claims. For most nutraceutical applications you want the oleoresin.

By declared marker active, assayed per lot: curcuminoids for turmeric, piperine for pepper, capsaicin in Scoville units for chilli, colour value for paprika, gingerols for ginger. The Certificate of Analysis states the number the lot was released against, not a typical value.

Yes, by GC headspace on every solvent-extracted lot. It is the single most important test in this category and the one buyers most often forget to ask for. The clearance certificate accompanies the batch.

Yes. We are FSSAI licensed and Spices Board registered, and the food-grade range ships with the documentation an EU, Australian or New Zealand food importer needs, including composition, contaminant and allergen declarations.

Yes. Liquid oleoresins can be supplied plated onto a carrier, water-dispersible with an emulsifier system, or spray-dried for dry blending. Tell us the application — snack coating behaves very differently from a capsule fill.

One kilogram for trials on most materials and 25 kg for contract pricing. Packing runs from 1 kg HDPE up to 200 kg drums.
