Wholesale Capsicum Oleoresin Chili Extract CAS 8023-77-6
Capsicum Oleoresin: Product Introduction
Capsaicin oleoresin, also known as capsaicin extract, is a natural plant food extract produced from chili peppers through extraction and concentration processes. Its main components include capsaicinoids and capsaicin red pigment, as well as capsaicin alcohol, protein, pectin, polysaccharides, and other chemical substances. As a natural plant extract, capsaicin oleoresin is widely used in food processing, cosmetics, and biomedicine due to its coloring, preservative, and antioxidant properties.
Capsaicin oleoresin has a very high concentration of capsaicin, giving it a strong, pungent flavor. The spiciness of capsaicin oleoresin varies depending on the type of chili pepper used, but it is always higher than that of natural chili peppers. Studies show that most fresh chili peppers have a spiciness level of 2.00–24,000 SHU (spiciness units), while capsaicin extract generally has a spiciness level of around 1 million SHU.
Production Process of Capsicum Oleoresin
Health Benefits
Antioxidant Effect
Cauliflower oleoresin is rich in capsanthin (a carotenoid), vitamins, and various trace elements, exhibiting significant antioxidant activity. The antioxidant activity of capsanthin was evaluated using a DPPH free radical scavenging experiment. Within a certain concentration range, capsanthin exhibited a certain free radical scavenging ability. This indicates that the aromatic hydrocarbons in capsanthin possess certain antioxidant activity.
Antibacterial and Preservative Effects
Capsanthin exhibits clear inhibitory effects on various bacteria and fungi. Antibacterial test reports show that the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of capsanthin against common foodborne pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Salmonella is between 0.02% and 0.1%; it also has a good inhibitory effect on putrefactive fungi such as Aspergillus niger and Penicillium. Its antibacterial mechanism is mainly related to capsaicin disrupting the cell membrane structure of microorganisms and interfering with energy metabolism.
Coloring Effect
Cauliflower oleoresin contains abundant natural capsanthin, a fat-soluble carotenoid with a color value of 50–70 C.U. Color value testing reports show that its tinting strength is several times that of synthetic pigments of the same weight, and its color is natural and vibrant with good stability. Color change is minimal within a pH range of 3-9, and its light and heat resistance is superior to most natural pigments.
Analgesic Effect
Capsaicin is the core component responsible for the analgesic effect of capsaicin oleoresin. Clinical studies have confirmed that capsaicin can selectively activate TRPV1 receptors (transient receptor potential vanillic acid subtype 1), causing depletion of substance P at nerve endings and blocking the transmission of pain signals to the central nervous system. Topical preparations containing 0.075% capsaicin have been clinically validated to have an efficacy rate exceeding 60% in relieving postherpetic neuralgia, and its pain-improving effect on diabetic peripheral neuropathy has also been supported by multiple randomized controlled trials.
Promotes Lipid Metabolism
Studies have shown that capsaicin oleoresin can inhibit lipogenesis and increase lipid oxidation within adipocytes; regulate hypothalamic satiety by acting on gastrin, thus suppressing appetite; prevent weight gain by upregulating UCP2 and UCP3; and enhance thermogenic production and maintain metabolic balance by regulating the gut microbiota.
Application Areas Overview
Food Industry
Seasonings and Food Additives: Capsicum oleoresin is a widely used natural source of spiciness in the food industry, commonly used in the production of hot sauces, seasoning oils, convenience foods, meat products, and snacks. Its high concentration reduces the amount added while avoiding the impurities and uneven coloring problems that may arise with traditional chili powder. Natural Preservatives: Capsaicin has antibacterial properties and can be used synergistically with other preservatives to extend the shelf life of food. Functional Food Development: Capsaicin in capsicum oleoresin can promote metabolism, and some health foods use it in formulations to aid in weight control or enhance energy expenditure.
Pharmaceutical Field
The application of capsicum oleoresin in the pharmaceutical field mainly relies on its core component, capsaicin. Topical Analgesics: Capsaicin can relieve muscle pain and joint inflammation by inhibiting the release of the neurotransmitter "substance P," and is commonly found in topical medications such as plasters and creams. Internal Health Benefits: Studies have shown that capsaicin has potential effects such as anti-oxidation and blood lipid regulation, and some health products use it as an adjunct ingredient for cardiovascular health.
In the cosmetics industry
capsicum oleoresin has been extensively utilized for its warming properties. Its active ingredients promote local microcirculation and are used in warming skincare products: its warming effect is applied to winter skincare products (such as body lotions and foot patches) to help raise skin surface temperature.
In anti-hair loss products, capsicum oleoresin can stimulate scalp blood circulation and promote healthy hair follicles, and is commonly used in anti-hair loss shampoos or hair growth serums.
