Concentrated turmeric rhizome oleoresin standardised for curcumin content and ASTA colour value — the natural yellow-orange colourant and flavour for food processing.
Turmeric Oleoresin is a concentrated natural extract from high-quality Curcuma longa rhizomes, standardised for curcumin content and ASTA colour value. Far more potent than turmeric powder, it delivers consistent golden-yellow colour, warm earthy flavour, and curcumin bioactivity in a concentrated oil-soluble form. SV Botanica sources premium Alleppey and Madras turmeric varieties from India's best cultivation regions — Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka — known for high curcumin content and rich colour. Widely used as a clean-label natural food colourant and functional ingredient globally.
