Product Introduction
Capsanthin is a natural carotenoid pigment primarily found in red bell peppers. It provides vibrant red to orange coloration, making it an attractive choice for food manufacturers and cosmetic companies looking for a natural colorant. As a fat-soluble color, capsanthin is known for its stability and ability to impart color to a variety of products.
Production Process
The production of capsanthin involves the careful extraction from red bell peppers, specifically those that are ripened. The extraction process typically uses organic solvents or supercritical CO2 to ensure high purity. After extraction, the pigment undergoes filtration and concentration to produce a stable powder form. The final product is then dried and milled to obtain the desired mesh size.
