Production Process
1.Pre-treatment of Raw Materials:
Screening disease-free chili peppers → Washing → Destoning → Drying (moisture ≤10%) → Crushing (20-40 mesh).
2.Supercritical Extraction:
Utilizes supercritical CO₂ under regulated pressure and temperature to enhance solubility, enabling selective extraction of capsaicin and paprika red pigment.
3.Separation and Purification:
Gradient decompression → Crystallization → HPLC analysis (purity ≥99%).
4.Finished Product Packaging:
Packaged in aluminum foil vacuum bags or sealed drums; stored away from light (shelf life: 2 years).
Core Advantages
1.High Efficiency & Energy Savings: Fast mass transfer reduces extraction time by 50% and energy consumption by 30%.
2.Environmentally Friendly: No organic solvent residues; CO₂ is fully recyclable.
3.Precise Control: Adjustable pressure/temperature for selective extraction.
4.High Yield: Over 95% extraction rate for capsaicin and paprika red pigment.
5.Customizable: Equipment capacities from 10L to 4500L, with automatic/semi-automatic options.
Applications of Capsaicin
Food: Spicy seasoning (10–1 million SHU Scoville Heat Units).
Medicine: Pain-relief patches (0.025%–0.25% concentration).
Cosmetics: Slimming creams (0.1%–0.5% concentration).
Applications of Paprika Red Pigment
Food Coloring: Meat products, baked goods, sauces.
Feed Additives: Enhances color in aquatic animals.
Pharmaceuticals: Coloring for tablet coatings.
Cosmetics: Natural colorant for lipsticks and blushes.
