What it is
Turmeric oleoresin is a concentrated extract from the turmeric root. It is made by using solvents to pull out the natural color compounds, called curcuminoids, from the ground spice.
Why it's used
Turmeric oleoresin is used as a natural yellow to orange food coloring. It is added to a variety of foods to give them a more appealing color, including baked goods, dairy products, snacks, and confectionery.
Health notes
Turmeric oleoresin is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food coloring. The main active compounds, curcuminoids, have been studied for various health effects, but research is ongoing and not conclusive. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated turmeric and its extracts, but did not set a numeric limit for its use as a food additive.
Allergen info
Turmeric oleoresin is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
