High-Quality Natural Capsanthin Manufacturer & Exporter

Paprika oleoresin is an unrefined or semi-refined total botanical extract from red peppers containing a broad mixture of fatty acids, triglycerides, waxes, and total carotenoids (capsanthin, capsorubin, zeaxanthin, beta-carotene). Natural Capsanthin refers to the refined, purified, and standardized active xanthophyll fraction, where capsanthin constitutes the primary chromatic component. While crude oleoresins typically carry lower color values and variable pungency, our purified capsanthin products are standardized to precise color units (e.g., 40,000 to 100,000 CU) with capsaicin levels rigorously removed to below sensory and analytical detection limits.

To ensure zero pungency in food, confection, beverage, and cosmetic applications, our processing facility applies dedicated high-vacuum thin-film evaporation and selective resin adsorption chromatography. These processes isolate and recover capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin, reducing residual capsaicinoid content in our standardized capsanthin lines to less than 1.0 ppm (or undetectable at <0.1 ppm for cosmetic grades), ensuring absence of spicy sensation or mucosal irritation.

In the European Union, our Natural Capsanthin is fully compliant with Regulation (EU) No 231/2012 specifications for food additive E160c (Paprika extract, capsanthin, capsorubin). In the United States, it complies with 21 CFR § 73.345 (Paprika oleoresin exempt from certification) and USP Food Chemicals Codex (FCC) specifications. Furthermore, our raw materials and end-products comply with international heavy metal regulations (lead < 2 ppm, arsenic < 1 ppm, cadmium < 1 ppm, mercury < 0.1 ppm) and are accompanied by non-GMO, Kosher, and Halal certification.

Because conjugated carotenoids are sensitive to atmospheric oxygen, ultraviolet light, and high ambient heat, we stabilize our capsanthin preparations with identity-preserved non-GMO natural mixed tocopherols (Vitamin E), rosemary extract, or ascorbyl palmitate. For dry solid formulations, we utilize spray-drying and microencapsulation technologies that physically shield the active xanthophyll within a natural polymer matrix, guaranteeing a verified shelf-life of 24 months when stored in sealed light-proof packaging in cool conditions ($<15^\circ\text{C}$).

Yes. We operate flexible production lines offering contract standardization. We produce oil-soluble concentrates, water-dispersible nano-emulsions for crystal-clear beverages, cold-water dispersible (CWD) beadlets for hard-shell encapsulation, and specialized high-mesh powders (80–120 mesh). Custom packaging formats are available ranging from 1 kg sample canisters to 25 kg drums and 200 kg steel containers with food-grade inert nitrogen blanketing.
