Capsicum Oleoresin is produced by controlled solvent extraction of dried ripe fruits of Capsicum annuum / Capsicum frutescens, concentrating the natural pungency of capsicum. It is supplied as a reddish to dark-reddish, free-flowing liquid, soluble in vegetable oils.

The oleoresin is primarily used for heat, with capsaicinoid levels typically standardized between 6.6% and 10%, corresponding to approximately 975,000 to 1,550,000 SHU in oleoresin form. It enables precise heat control, consistent dosing, and improved stability compared to raw chilli powders, making it suitable for seasonings, sauces, snacks, savoury foods, and flavour systems.

Each batch meets defined limits for microbiology, heavy metals, and residual solvents. Certified Halal & Kosher, non-GMO, and compliant with US and EU flavouring regulations. Customized heat levels and blends are available based on application requirements.
