Capsicum oleoresin

Product Overview

From the heart of Kannauj, India's ancient perfume capital, Shiva Exports India presents Capsicum Oleoresin, meticulously extracted using time-honored techniques refined by generations. Our commitment to purity ensures a superior oleoresin, capturing the true essence of Capsicum Annum L and Capsicum Frutescence L. This concentrated extract delivers consistent heat and vibrant color, ideal for demanding B2B applications.

🌿 Olfactory Profile & Applications

Shiva Exports India's Capsicum Oleoresin presents a potent olfactory experience. The initial impact delivers an acrid, almost shocking nasal irritation, immediately followed by a distinct burning sensation indicative of high capsaicinoid content. This sharp pungency persists as the dominant note. It is not a fragrance for direct perfumery application, but rather an aroma chemical component used judiciously in flavor compositions. Ideal applications include:

• Food Processing & Flavoring: Hot sauce manufacturing, seasoning blends, spice extracts.
• Pharmaceuticals: Topical pain relief creams and ointments.
• Pest Control: Formulations for pest deterrents.
• Defense: Pepper spray manufacturing.
• Natural Colorant: Used where a vibrant red hue is required in food or cosmetic applications.

📖 Usage & Formulation Guide

Capsicum Oleoresin is a powerful ingredient and should be handled with care. Its high concentration requires precise dilution for optimal results:

• Hot Sauce Formulations: Begin with a 0.01% dilution by weight in your base sauce. Gradually increase to achieve the desired Scoville Heat Unit (SHU) level. Remember that even small additions can significantly impact the final heat index.
• Topical Pain Relief Creams: For creating pain-relief creams, a concentration of 0.025% to 0.075% is typically used in the final formulation. Always test the final product on a small area of skin before widespread use to ensure tolerability. Consider using a carrier oil known for its anti-inflammatory properties, such as Arnica oil.
• Seasoning Blends: When incorporating into seasoning blends for snacks like chips or nuts, pre-dilute the oleoresin in vegetable oil or another suitable carrier at a ratio of 1:100 before adding it to the dry mix. This ensures even distribution and prevents hot spots.
• Natural Colorant: As a natural red colorant, capsicum oleoresin’s tinting strength is remarkable. Begin with extremely low concentrations (e.g., 0.005% in the final product) and incrementally increase, assessing the color development at each stage.
