Saffron (Crocus sativus) is a plant. The dried thread-like parts of the flower (stigmas) are used to make saffron spice, food coloring, and medicine.

Processing Method : The method for extracting the saffron crocus essential oil comprises cold drying and crushing treatment on raw materials, performing steam distillation, adsorbing the obtained steam containing the saffron crocus essential oil.

Applications :

• Antidepressant : Saffron to be as effective as the drug fluoxetine (Prozac) in treating mild to moderate depression.This may make the spice a good alternative for people who don’t tolerate antidepressant medications well.
• Heart Health : Saffron has many different chemical components. Some of these may help to reduce blood pressure and provide protection against heart disease.
• PMS Treatment : For those who want relief but don’t want to rely on medications, saffron may be a good alternative. Researchers found that saffron is effective in relieving PMS symptoms.
• Boosts Memory : Saffron contains two chemicals, crocin and crocetin, which researchers believe may help learning and memory function. Research shows that saffron may have potential in treating diseases that affect the brain, like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
• Cancer Prevention : Saffron is rich in both antioxidants and flavonoids. Antioxidants help protect the body from harmful substances. Flavonoids are chemicals found in plants that help the plant protect itself from fungus and disease.

Chilli Oleoresin is a deep red colored, semi viscous liquid extracted from dried red pepper or paprika. It draws its deep red color from various Carotenoids present in Red Pepper. Paprika Oleoresin is a natural extract without any antioxident.

Processing Method : Methodology behind making a very simple chili extract is to submerge dried chili peppers in a very pure food grade alcohol which draws out the oil of the peppers into the alcohol solution.

Applications :

• Food Industry : Foods coloured and spiced with chilli oleoresin include cheese, orange juice, spice mixtures, sauces, sweets and emulsified processed meats. In poultry feed, it is used to deepen the colour of egg yolks. Many chilli sauces use chilli oleoresin in their hot sauces.
• Pharmaceuticals : Chilli oleoresin compounds are used extensively in pharmaceuticals industry. Capsaicinoids are quite effective as analgesia, anticancer, anti-inflammation, antioxidant and anti-obesity. Capsaicinoids may have potential application in pain relief, cancer prevention and weight loss. In addition, capsaicinoids also display the benefits on cardiovascular and gastrointestinal system.

Black Pepper Oleoresin is obtained by solvent extraction of ground-dried berries of Piper nigrum L. The resultant product has the characteristic aroma of black pepper, with an underlying pungency.

Processing Method : The oleoresins are manufactured by what is known as “solvent extraction process”. By extracting ground pepper with solvents and subsequently removing the solvent by distillation, black pepper oleoresin which contains both the volatile oil and piperine is left behind.

Rganoleptic Properties :

• Appearance : Viscous Liquid
• Colour: Yellowish Brown Viscous Liquid
• Taste and Aroma: Characteristic Aroma of Pepper with Pungent, Spicy, Stinging Taste

Applcations : Flavoring & Preservative Ingredient in Food Industry Ingredient for Pharmaceutical, Ayurvedic & Nutraceutical products Used in Perfumery applications
