Capsanthin

High-Purity Capsanthin Extract | Natural Red Pigment Solution with Standardized Color Value for Clean Label Applications

Xi'an Jiayuan Bio-tech Co., Ltd., established in 2002 with RMB 30 million registered capital, delivers pharmaceutical-grade Capsanthin extracted from Capsicum annuum L. fruit. Our production facility operates two GMP-standard lines with ISO9001, SGS, and HALAL certifications. This natural keto-carotenoid delivers standardized Color Value (10%-98% specifications available) and resolves thermal processing instability challenges. Crude paprika extracts undergo chromatic loss after pasteurisation, but our refined product preserves chromatic integrity and eliminates pungency interference. The brownish red powder (CAS 465-42-9) substitutes synthetic colours in neutral-pH compositions, providing antioxidant efficacy with batch-to-batch consistency.

 

What Is Capsanthin?

The product is the primary keto-carotenoid pigment comprising up to 60% of paprika oleoresin's total carotenoid content. This oil-soluble functional ingredient (E160c) imparts deep red-to-orange hues without capsaicin's heat properties.

The compound addresses "Natural Red Instability" issues where alternative pigments like anthocyanins degrade above 80°C. Our standardized extract maintains thermal resistance during extrusion processes and resists light-induced oxidation when properly formulated.

This xanthophyll carotenoid is a Clean Label alternative to manufactured Azo dyes (Red 40) and carmine from insects. Formulators get consistent colour intensity, without the undesirable flavour notes or the issues about vegan/halal compliance.

Why Choose Us?

Direct Pricing from the Manufacturer

You cut off the middleman's markup by buying from the factory. Flexible MOQ (1kg minimum) for small-scale pilot testing to commercial manufacturing.

Production Capabilities Integrated

Two GMP lines for extraction via microencapsulation under one roof. Vertical integration offers more supply chain transparency and shorter lead times than multi-vendor purchasing.

Technical Adaptation

Our R&D team tailors particle size distribution, carrier selection and encapsulation techniques to suit your processing equipment and end use needs. Collaborative development increases time-to-market for novel formulations.

 

Functions

Consistent pigment performance

Beetroot red or betalains quickly decolourise at pasteurisation temperatures but the molecular framework is stable. Microencapsulation technique converts lipophilic extracts into water dispersible powders with improved oxidative stability.

Dual Action Antioxidant Benefits

The intrinsic free radical scavenging activity protects the formulation matrix from oxidative degradation. This capability enhances the shelf life of the product and has chromatic advantages.

Controlled Pungency Profiles

Pure colouring applications that do not modify taste characteristics are refined to cut capsaicinoids to less than 50 ppm. Suitable for medicinal matrices and confectionary with neutral taste.

Application Fields

Industry	Typical Applications
Food & Beverage	Meat analogs, dairy products, sauces, snack coatings
Nutraceuticals	Soft gel capsules, tablet film coatings, supplement blends
Cosmetics	Lipstick formulations, blush powders, hair care products
Pharmaceuticals	Enteric coatings, oral suspensions, diagnostic reagents

The powder format integrates seamlessly into dry blending operations for seasoning mixes and instant food bases. Emulsion-grade variants suit liquid beverage systems requiring uniform dispersion.

 

Quality Control

Our laboratory implements four-tier inspection protocols to ensure product purity:

Adulteration Screening

HPLC testing certifies absence of Sudan I-IV, Para Red, and Rhodamine B carcinogenic adulterants. Every batch undergoes spectral fingerprinting against authenticated standards.

Residual Solvent Analysis

Gas Chromatography quantifies extraction solvents (hexane, acetone, methanol) below 10-30 ppm limits per EU/FDA requirements. Vacuum distillation reduces residual compounds pre-drying.

Capsaicinoid Verification

Pungency levels maintained below 50 ppm via selective extraction methods. MS spectrum analysis confirms capsanthin-to-capsorubin ratios for true red coloration rather than degraded yellowish tones.

Color Unit Validation

E1% 1cm measurements ensure consistent chromatic performance across production lots. Microbiological testing and heavy metal screening complete the quality assurance cycle.

 

Storage Advice

Store in sealed containers in cold (<25°C) dry conditions away from direct sunlight. Product kept properly keeps specification compliance for 24 months from date of manufacture.

Post Sale Service

Technical teams may give formulation advise for effective Capsanthin incorporation into your product matrix. We provide help with dose estimates, solubility optimisation and stability testing techniques.

If quality issues develop, our technical team of 30 people will reply within 24 hours with analytical help. In the event of items not conforming to the agreed specifications, the applicable replacement or refund procedures must be in accordance with the conditions of the contract.

FAQ

Q：What color range does the product provide?

A：Depending on concentration and matrix pH, expect deep red to orange-red hues. Precise shade matching requires small-scale trials in your specific formulation.

Q：How does it compare to synthetic dyes in cost?

A：Initial ingredient cost runs higher than Red 40, but Clean Label claims often justify premium retail pricing. Total cost-in-use analysis should factor regulatory compliance savings and consumer preference trends.

Q：Can it replace lycopene in supplements?

A：Yes, for chromatic purposes. However, lycopene possesses distinct bioactivity profiles. Consult nutritional claims regulations if making health-related substitutions.

Q：What stability can I expect in acidic beverages?

A：Performance varies by pH level. Below pH 4.0, test microencapsulated grades designed for acidic environments. Our technical team provides stability data for your specific conditions.

Q：Is heavy metal testing included?

A：Every batch undergoes ICP-MS screening for lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury per USP <232>/<233> standards. Certificates of Analysis document compliance.
