Oleoresins & Spice Oil

Uploaded on : February 2019


Introduction

Oleoresins are the flavour extracts obtained by the solvent extraction of the ground spices. They have aroma of spice and possess the attributes which contribute to the taste such as pungency. All the spices contain essential oils in varying proportions which can be extracted by steam distillation. India is one of the leading producers of spices and instead of exporting raw spices, it is advisable to export value added products.

 

Objectives

 

The objective of the profiles is to encourage and assist prospective entrepreneurs in MSME sector in and guiding making them aware of the opportunities of this sector. It is also being developed by the Directorate of the Food Processing Industries, Government of West Bengal to help entrepreneurs with knowledge about raw materials availability, knowledge of market, source of technology and plant and machinery suppliers. M/s ITV Agro & Food Technologies Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi has helped in developing the project profile.

 

Raw Material Availability

 

Raw spices like black pepper, ginger, turmeric, cinnamon and cardamom seeds shall be the main raw materials. Appropriate solvent needs to be identified. Total production of spices in the country is estimated to be 5387092 MT / year out of which production in the West Bengal is estimated to be 211128 MT/ year.

 

Market Opportunities

 

Oleoresins and spice oil have large domestic as well as export markets. They are consumed by a broad spectrum of manufacturers like confectionary, noodles, beverages, sauces, canned meat, soup powders, curries, poultry products and so on . Most of the end use industries are growing steadily and demand is bound to increase. With increasing preference for quality products, use of spices is rapidly replaced with oleoresins and spice oils. Exports of these processed products, instead of raw spices, would also results in considerable value addition. Total Export of spices oil and oleoresins from India during the year 2009-10, 2010-11 and 2011-12 is estimated to be Rs. 70875/-lacs, Rs. 91062/- lacs and Rs. 130438/- lacs respectively.

 

Project Description

 

Product & ITS Uses

 

The oleoresins and spice oil are preferred because of their microbiological advantages, uniformity in flavour and pungency, easy to store and transport. They have several applications like in the preparation of beverages, soup powders, confectionary, curries, noodles, sauces &, canned meat etc.

 

Capacity

 

The proposed capacity of the plant is to process 70 MT / annum of various spices.

 

Manufacturing Process

 

To start with, various raw spices are cleaned and then ground to the required mesh size. Then extraction is undertaken with the help of proper solvent. Solvents that can be used are hexane, acetone, ethylene dichloride or alcohol. Extraction is done by percolation of the solvent at room temperature through a bed of ground spice packed in SS percolator. Then the dark viscous extract containing not less than 10% of total soluble solids are drawn off and distilled under reduced pressure to remove the excess of solvent. The essential oil is obtained by steam distillation.

 

Project Components & Cost

 

Land & Building

 

A plot of around 300 sq. mtrs. with constructed area of 150 sq. mtrs. would be adequate for the contemplated production capacity. Land may cost Rs. 1.50 lacs whereas the cost of civil work is assumed to be Rs. 9.75 lacs.

 

Plant & Machinery

 

For the contemplated installed capacity of 1500 kgs. of spice oil and 3000 kgs. of Oleoresins per year with 12 hours working per day and 300 working days every year, following equipments shall be needed.
