Spices are important ingredients to make a food tasty. They also add
flavour and enhance the aroma of the food. Spices serve as preservatives
too. Spice Oils / Oleoresins are the esssence obtained from various
spices.
These are obtained by extracting the essential flavouring and preservative
chemicals from various spices. These oils / oleoresins do not contain
any contamination and are free from micro organisms like bacteria,
mold ,etc. They are homogeneous in consistency and character and are
much less bulky compared to the raw spices.
