Capsicum Extract Powder (2% Capsaicin, HPLC) is derived from the fruit of Capsicum annuum, commonly known as bell peppers or chili peppers. The extract is obtained through a specialized process that involves drying the fruit and then extracting the capsaicin, which is the active compound responsible for the heat in peppers. This extract is standardized to contain 2% capsaicin content, as determined by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) testing. The powder is widely used in various applications, including in dietary supplements, food products, and cosmetic formulations, offering a potent and standardized dose of capsaicin for flavor, color, or other intended uses.
