98 PAPRIKA EXTRACT
The Committee noted that there were existing specifications for paprika
oleoresin with functional uses as both a colour and a flavouring agent. In response
to the call for data for the present meeting, the Committee received data on the use
of paprika preparations as a colour and as a result had no information to allow it to
revise the existing specifications for paprika oleoresin. The Committee decided that
the specifications for paprika oleoresin should be revised to emphasize its use as
a flavour.
