Re: Re: Paprika Oleoresin was Speaking of snack foods

[Guest guest]

Del,

What recipes do you have with making a snack with cheese? I don't have a source

for raw cheese right now anyway, but it would be nice to make some snacks for my

family once in awhile.

Here's what I've found so far on the internet about this:

What is Paprika Oleoresin?

Paprika Oleoresin is a natural food colorant used to obtain a deep red colour in

any food that has a liquid/fat phase. It is derived from the liquid extract of

the fruit of genus Capsicum Annum L, obtained by extraction with hexane. The

oleoresin is a slightly viscous, homogenous red liquid with good flow properties

at room temperature

Ingredients:

Selected paprika extract and vegetable oil.

OLEORESIN PAPRIKA

(HOT SPICE EXTRACTS)

DESCRIPTION

Obtained by solvent extraction of the dried pods of capsicum annuum L. (Family:

Solanaceae), followed by removal of pungent principles.

Additive(optional) : Refined sunflower oil

Did you look up oleoresin? Isn't that one of those new fangled oils.

Something to stay away from! I don't think I would want to eat it

even if it didn't have oleoresin in it. I think there are recipes

where you can just put slices of cheese in the oven and bake and get

a better product.
