Jupiter Leys was fortunate enough to leverage its three core, distinctive attributes that distinguish Jupiter Leys from its competitors – the  unique technology, strong customer relationships and extensive product range to a great extent at the trade interactions with its peers in Moscow.

Encouraged by the success in forging new business relationships and buoyed at the high rate of conversion to lasting agreements, Jupiter Leys will be attending the next trade conclave of Ingredients Russia,2010 to be held in Moscow from 23 – 26 November 2010.

To be held at the Hyatt Regency, and the Inaugural Address expected to be from none other than Mr. Jyotiraditya. M.Scindia, Hon’ble Union Minister of State for Commerce and Industry, participation in this world forum would be another  step in the direction towards exploring, enhancing and strengthening possible synergy and viable business opportunities of products in the Jupiter Leys portfolio.

As far as the topics already been decided for panel discussions, the ones on The Crop Report on Black and White Pepper, 2010, Seed Spices and the Prospects in Turmeric would be of renewed interest to the trade in general and Jupiter Leys in particular, as our product portfolio (existing and proposed) would be in close alignment  with the same.

Any perspectives on  progress of these core issues would be of considerable interest to us as we look forward in consolidating and exploring new frontiers in the Global Spice Market.

Use

The oleoresins are used mainly as a flavouring agent in the food processing industry. They are more economical to use, easier to control for quality and cleaner than the equivalent ground spices. Oleoresins are more stable when heated. The main products in a spice oleoresin plant is oleoresins of chilli, pepper, ginger and turmeric. The co-products are the corresponding spice oils, which are widely used in food and pharmaceutical industries.

Process

The volatile oil is distilled out from the ground spices. The wet powdered spice free from volatiles are dried and then extracted with suitable solvent systems to remove the fixed oil and resineous / gummy materials. The solvent is removed from the miscella, dried and the extract is mixed with the dry spice oil to the required level and the product is suitably packed in containers.
