Re: Paprika Oleoresin was Speaking of snack foods

[Guest guest]

I'm sorry I don't have the recipe. I just remember reading it on

another list. As I remember it was very easy. They just put cheese on

a cookie sheet and heated until it turned brown. I was tempted at the

time, put why go to all the trouble of seeking out raw cheese just to

heat it!

Here is the definition of oleoresin found in the dictionary on line:

1. a natural plant product containing chiefly essential oil and

resin, especially turpentine.

2. a preparation consisting essentially of oil holding resin in

solution.

I don't remember you stating the ingredient as " paprika " oleoresin in

your orginial post. Maybe just an oversight on my part. Don't know if

that would make a difference or not. I would think...not.

Paprika Oleoresin was one the ingredient list that I sent. I just noticed that

in the definitions I found it says " extracted with hexane " ...and " solvent

extraction " . I didn't noticed that at first, but probably is a bad sign.

Well, like I said, I don't have raw cheese right now, but if I did, I certainly

wouldn't use it for that. I was just looking at having a few fast snacks around

and wondering if any of them would be okay to eat.
