About Capsicum

The botanical name for capsicum, commonly known as chili pepper or red pepper, is Capsicum annuum. It belongs to the Solanaceae family, which also includes plants like tomatoes and potatoes. Northern Extracts uses Supercritical Fluid Extraction to produce an extract from capsicum. This method involves subjecting the dried chili peppers to high pressures and ambient temperatures to extract the desired compounds. The resulting extract is a pure, natural product with a bright red color and a spicy, aromatic flavor. It is known for its pungent, spicy flavor and is used in a wide range of culinary applications. It is also believed to have several health benefits due to its high content of vitamins and antioxidants. Our capsicum extract can be used in a variety of applications, including in the food industry, as a natural flavoring and coloring agent, as well as in the pharmaceutical industry, as an ingredient in topical creams and ointments.
