What Is Paprika Extract?

This substance is a fat-soluble carotenoid complex extracted from the dried fruits of sweet red peppers (Capsicum annuum L.). It has naturally occurring colourants like Capsanthin, Capsorubin etc. unlike manufactured colourants like Allura Red AC or Sunset Yellow and may provide bright red-to-orange shades.

The extract deals with important formulation problems. It may replace synthetic colourants in clean label formulations and maintains colour intensity in different pH conditions. Capsanthin (CAS: 465-42-9) has the chemical formula C40H56O3 and molecular weight of 584.87, and has exceptional heat resistance and light stability. Our E150 standard guarantees a uniform colour value and solves the variability issue of raw paprika powder.

Functions

Natural Coloring Performance

It gives a persistent red-orange colour in oil systems when water-soluble colourants would not. The carotenoid structure withstands deterioration in heat processing up to 180°C.

Clean Label Solution

You can substitute synthetic azo colours and yet match customer desire for familiar ingredients. It is known as E160c in the EU markets, and has GRAS certification in the United States.

Activity of Antioxidant

Lipid-rich formulations: carotenoid matrix scavenging free radicals. This secondary activity also serves to increase the shelf-life of items such as sauces and dairy analogues.

Application Fields

Food & Beverage Sector

It may be used in processed cheese, meat products, salad dressings and spices. It is soluble in oil and so is uniformly dispersed in fat matrices without phase separation. It’s more heat stable than beetroot red or annatto for snack coatings.

Nutraceutical compositions

It is used as colourant and bioactive component in softgel and encapsulated supplements. Capsanthin content supports marketing claims for natural antioxidants.

Cosmetic Applications

It is ideal for lipsticks, cream blushes and coloured balms. Its compatibility with oils and waxes provides you even colour payoff and no streaking. The natural origin is in line with nutricosmetic trends.
