Nutmeg seed oleoresin standardised for myristicin and total volatile oils — the warm, sweet, slightly spicy flavour active for premium food and beverage applications.
Nutmeg Oleoresin is extracted from premium Myristica fragrans kernels sourced from India's key nutmeg cultivation regions — Kerala and Goa. Standardised for myristicin and total volatile oil content, it captures the full warm, sweet, slightly camphoraceous character of nutmeg in a highly concentrated, shelf-stable form. Used across bakery, dairy, beverage, and savoury food applications, nutmeg oleoresin delivers consistent flavour without the variability of ground nutmeg.
We supply Nutmeg Oleoresin in multiple standardisations to match your application requirements. Custom specifications available on request.
