Curcuma Oleoresin Production Cost Reports

Curcuma Oleoresin production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up a Curcuma oleoresin production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of Curcuma oleoresin. This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.

Curcuma oleoresin or Turmeric oleoresin is an organic fat derived using the method of solvent extraction of ground-dried rhizomes of Curcuma longa L. It mainly constitutes curcumins: the principle colouring constituents (1,7-bis(4-hydroxy-3- methoxyphenyl) hepta-1,6-diene-3,5-dione) and its desmethoxy and bisdesmethoxy derivatives in differing ratios. It is made using turmeric fingers and has a negligible odour. It is a liquid which is soluble in water and oil.

Curcuma oleoresin has an aroma resembling turmeric with a distinctive earthy, musky note along with a slightly bitter, viscous, homogeneous aftertaste. The product's colour ranges from orange-yellow to reddish-brown at ambient temperatures and has an upper oily layer and a lower crystalline layer. It is the primary colouring component and alcohol-soluble extract of turmeric, which is an extract composed of around 90% curcuminoids and volatile and fixed oils. It also comprises highly concentrated quantities of turmeric's active ingredients. It is closely linked with ginger and is extracted the same way as ginger oleoresin.

Curcuma oleoresin is mainly used as a colouring agent or spice in food. The yellow pigmented fraction is separated from the rhizomes of Curcuma longa rhizomes and finds application in many medicinal and food applications. Besides its usage as a flavouring and colouring agent, it also has a wide range of therapeutic properties. It can stabilise the levels of blood glucose and cholesterol in the body while preventing weight gain. Furthermore, the extract can be used to lower inflammation and provides an overall pain-relieving effect which makes it ideal for treating arthritis, gallstones, ulcers, and irritable bowel syndrome.

Other medical uses of the extract include the facilitation of bile excretion, which has an antioxidant action protecting cells from damage and boosts wound healing, improves cognitive function and prevents neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's and dementia. Due to its medicinal benefits, it also finds application in cosmetic preparations for youthful, radiant skin, thereby furthering the market expansion.
