Paprika Oleoresin is a food-grade concentrated extract of sweet paprika peppers (Capsicum annuum) providing intense red-orange colour from capsanthin pigments for food colouring applications.We supply bulk Paprika Oleoresin sourced from leading China manufacturers, available in liquid and oil forms for international food processing operations. Our Paprika Oleoresin is widely used in sausage colouring, dairy colouring, dressing colouring, seasoning colouring and poultry feed pigmentation.
Paprika Oleoresin is produced by solvent extraction of dried sweet paprika pods. This yields a concentrated red oil rich in capsanthin, capsorubin and other carotenoids.
Unlike capsicum oleoresin, paprika oleoresin has minimal or no pungency (capsaicin). It is one of the most widely used natural red food colourants globally, valued for its heat stability, attractive red-orange hue and clean-label status.
