- Product Highlights
Capsicum extracts are incorporated as active ingredients or excipients in products for both the pharmaceutical and personal care sectors. The group of compounds which are responsible for the therapeutic effects of Capsicum are the capsaicinoids, which deliver characteristic warmth and pungency.
Capsaicinoids profile for Capsicum Oleoresin
There are six main capsaicinoids identified in current pharmacopeial monographs: capsaicin, dihydrocapsaicin, nordihydrocapsaicin, decanylvanillinamide, homocapsaicin and nonivamide. Synthetically derived nonivamide has historically been added to Capsicum extracts as a means of increasing the declared content of capsaicinoids, and hence the content of nonivamide is controlled in all extract specifications.
