Pushal saffron

Introduction of Pushal saffron

Saffron strands include stigma (red color) and root (white color). When a part of the stigma along with a small part of the root, which is orange in color, is present in saffron, it is called Pushal.

Some people believe that when the orange part is in saffron, it is a sign of its authenticity. Because when the stigma is attached to the root, it is clear that the saffron thread is healthy and original

Components of Pushal saffron

Saffron, scientifically known as Crocus sativus, is a highly prized spice derived from the flower of the saffron crocus.

The spice is composed of several components that contribute to its distinctive flavor, aroma, and color. The primary components of saffron include:

1. Crocin:

Crocin is responsible for red color of Pushal. It is a water-soluble carotenoid pigment and acts as a natural dye. Crocin is also believed to possess potential antioxidant and anticancer properties.

2. Picrocrocin:

Picrocrocin is a bitter-tasting chemical compound found in saffron. It contributes to saffron’s unique flavor profile and is responsible for its characteristic bitter taste.

Picrocrocin is a precursor to safranal, which is formed when the spice is dried and gives saffron its distinct aroma.

3. Safranal:

Safranal is an aromatic compound that gives saffron its characteristic aroma. It is produced from picrocrocin during the drying process of saffron.

Safranal is responsible for the sweet, floral, and slightly hay-like scent of saffron.

4. Essential oils:

Pushal saffron contains several volatile essential oils that contribute to its aroma and flavor.

These oils include cineole, pinene, borneol, geraniol, linalool, terpinene, and many others. The combination of these oils adds complexity and depth to saffron’s sensory profile.

5. Carotenoids:

Saffron contains various carotenoid compounds, including zeaxanthin, lycopene, and α- and β-carotenes. These natural pigments contribute to the yellow color of saffron threads.

It’s important to note that the exact composition of saffron can vary depending on factors such as the region of cultivation, harvesting methods, and storage conditions.

However, the components mentioned above are the major constituents responsible for saffron’s color, flavor, and aroma.
