1. What types of essential oils does Floress Food Ingredients offer?
We offer a wide range of essential oils, primarily focused on spice oils, which are ideal for culinary and aromatherapy applications. Our oils are sourced from high-quality, natural ingredients to ensure optimal aroma and purity.

2. How are Floress Food Ingredients’ essential oils extracted?
We use methods like steam distillation and solvent extraction to carefully extract the essential oils. These methods ensure that the full essence of the plant is preserved, delivering rich and potent aromas suitable for a variety of applications.

3. What is the difference between essential oils and oleoresins?
Essential oils are volatile oils extracted from plants, while oleoresins are concentrated extracts containing both essential oils and other plant compounds. Oleoresins offer a more potent form of flavor and aroma and are often used in food and flavoring applications.

4. How are oleoresins produced?
Oleoresins are derived through solvent extraction, where the active compounds are separated from the plant material, creating concentrated extracts. This process ensures the preservation of both flavor and aroma, making them ideal for food and fragrance applications.

5. What is supercritical CO2 extraction, and how is it used?
Supercritical CO2 extraction is a gentle method used to extract essential oils and bioactive compounds from heat-sensitive plants. This method uses pressurized CO2 to extract compounds without damaging them, resulting in high-quality, pure extracts suitable for various applications.

6. What are the benefits of spray drying in product formulation?
Spray drying is used to convert liquid extracts into powder form, often used for encapsulation. This method helps preserve the integrity of sensitive compounds and extends shelf life while providing controlled release, making it ideal for use in nutraceuticals and functional foods.
