Paprika Extract

Also known as Oleoresin paprika, Paprika oleoresin, E160c

A concentrated colour extract of paprika, used to give a consistent red without adding bulk or flavour.

Paprika extract, or oleoresin paprika (E160c), is the concentrated colouring drawn from paprika. It delivers a deep, even red at tiny doses, which is useful where a maker wants reliable colour without the flavour, speckle or bulk of ground paprika. It is a colour tool rather than a seasoning.
