Capsicum Oleoresin 8%

Capsicum Oleoresin  is a concentrated extract derived from the dried fruits of Capsicum annuum or Capsicum frutescens (chili peppers). It is a dark red to brownish oily liquid containing approximately 8% capsaicinoids—primarily capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin—which are the primary pungent components. This oleoresin is widely used for its flavoring, coloring, medicinal, and irritant properties in the food, pharmaceutical, veterinary, and defense industries. It is produced by solvent extraction followed by standardization to achieve consistent pungency levels. The product is highly potent and must be handled with care due to its intense irritant nature.
