Description
Capsaicin Powder Extract from Paprika is a concentrated natural chili extract designed for food formulation, seasoning blends, and product development applications. The product delivers the characteristic pungency of capsaicin while maintaining the natural properties derived from paprika extract.
This light yellow to orange-yellow powder offers good dispersibility and can be easily incorporated into dry blends or seasoning systems. Due to the high concentration of capsaicin, only small quantities are typically required to achieve the desired heat level in finished products.
The extract is produced from natural chili peppers using food-grade extraction solvents and is suitable for use in food processing when properly diluted within finished formulations.
