Sec. 73.345 Paprika oleoresin.
(a) Identity. (1) The color additive paprika oleoresin is the
combination of flavor and color principles obtained from paprika
(Capsicum annuum L.) by extraction, using any one or a combination of
the following solvents:
Acetone
Ethyl alcohol
Ethylene dichloride
Hexane
Isopropyl alcohol
Methyl alcohol
Methylene chloride
Trichloroethylene
The definition of paprika oleoresin in this paragraph is for the purpose
of identity as a color additive only, and shall not be construed as
setting forth an official standard for paprika oleoresin under section
401 of the act.
(2) Color additive mixtures made with paprika oleoresin may contain
as diluents only those substances listed in this subpart as safe and
suitable in color additive mixtures for coloring foods.
(b) Specifications. Paprika oleoresin shall contain no more residue
of the solvents listed in paragraph (a)(1) of this section than is
permitted of the corresponding solvents in spice oleoresins under
applicable food additive regulations in parts 170 through 189 of this
chapter.
(c) Uses and restrictions. Paprika oleoresin may be safely used for
the coloring of foods generally in amounts consistent with good
manufacturing practice, except that it may not be used to color foods
for which standards of identity have been promulgated under section 401
of the act, unless the use of added color is authorized by such
standards.
(d) Labeling. The color additive and any mixtures intended solely or
in part for coloring purposes prepared therefrom shall bear, in addition
to the other information required by the act, labeling in accordance
with the provisions of Sec. 70.25 of this chapter.
(e) Exemption from certification. Certification of this color
additive is not necessary for the protection of the public health, and
therefore batches thereof are exempt from the certification requirements
of section 721(c) of the act.
