Capsaicin

Capsaicin is part of Nustras' Chemicals range. It is the principal pungent capsaicinoid found in chili peppers of the Capsicum genus, a lipophilic vanillylamide compound typically isolated or synthesized and supplied as a crystalline powder or oleoresin concentrate. Purity is characterized by identity and assay, with the pungency profile determined by capsaicinoid content.

Within its category it is used as a flavor and functional ingredient in food and supplement formulations and in topical and specialty preparations. Because it is a potent irritant, appropriate handling and containment should be confirmed for each application. Contact Nustras for detailed specifications, available grades and packaging options.
