Choosing the best turmeric extract for your food application
Kalsec® Turmeric extracts are produced in specialized forms designed to meet your exacting requirements. The applications section of this bulletin provides general information on typical food applications for turmeric extracts. The selection of the most appropriate form of turmeric extract will depend on your food product formulation, packaging, processing, and stability requirements. The Turmeric Color Product Guide provides specific suggestions to help you select the best Kalsec® Turmeric product and determine the appropriate addition rate.

Micro-crystalline Curcumin in Vegetable Oil
Oil dispersible/soluble extract with standardized concentrations of micro-crystalline curcumin. Widely used in processed foods such as snack seasonings, process cheese, spray-dried cheese, batter, and breadings.

Water Soluble
Oleoresin turmeric dissolved in and standardized with polysorbate 80. Water and brine solubility make this product ideal for use in pickles, mustard, and highly seasoned sauces such as curry.

Water Soluble-Deflavored
Deflavored turmeric dissolved in and standardized with polysorbate 80. Water solubility and low flavor make this product acceptable for use in delicately flavored foods such as cereal, sauces, soup, ice cream, and yogurt.

Aquaresin® Turmeric
A water dispersible formulation based on curcumin or turmeric extractives. Water dispersibility is achieved without the use of polysorbate making this product appropriate for use in spray dried cheese or other products where polysorbate 80 is not permitted.

Powder
Pure curcumin pigments available in concentrations greater than 85% or standardized with maltodextrin at lower pigment levels.
