About Paprika

The botanical name for paprika is Capsicum annuum, and it belongs to the Solanaceae family. Paprika is a spice made from ground, dried fruits of the Capsicum annuum plant which is commonly used in many cuisines around the world. Paprika has a unique flavor that ranges from mild to hot, and it adds both color and flavor to dishes. Northern Extracts uses Supercritical Fluid Extraction to produce an extract from paprika. This method involves subjecting the dried paprika to high pressures and ambient temperatures to extract the desired compounds. The resulting extract is a pure, natural product with a red-orange color and a rich, aromatic flavor. Our paprika extract can be used in a variety of applications, including in the food industry as a natural colorant and flavoring agent, in the pharmaceutical industry due to its anti-inflammatory properties, as well as in the agricultural industry as a natural pesticide.
