Capsicum oleoresin is an oily organic resin that is used as a natural flavoring and coloring agent in the food industry. It provides consistent heat and vibrant red color in various processed foods, sauces, and seasonings. It is used in the pharmaceutical sector as an active component for making topical creams, gels, and patches. It has pain relief and anti-inflammatory effects that are used in arthritis, neuropathic pain, and muscle aches.

It is utilized in weight management supplements as it boosts metabolism and suppresses appetite. It also supports digestive and cardiovascular health by stimulating enzyme production and improving blood circulation. It is utilized in the cosmetic industry as it has warming and circulation-boosting properties. It is used in the production of creams, serums, and massage oils to improve skin vitality and promote hair growth. It works as a natural biopesticide and animal repellent to protect crops from pests and mammals and is also added to animal feed to improve digestion and growth. Also, it is utilized as an important ingredient in pepper sprays because of its irritant effects.

Feedstock for Capsicum Oleoresin

The production of capsicum oleoresin uses chili peppers (Capsicum annuum L. or Capsicum frutescens L.)  and ethanol as the major feedstock. The changes in the prices and availability of these raw materials affect its manufacturing.

The procurement of chili peppers is affected by the costs and availability of chilis (factors like seasonality, production scale, and the perishable nature of the crop affect its supply) and the efficiency of distribution (complex supply chains increase costs and risks of spoilage). The changes in its demand from downstream industries like food processing (spices, sauces, snacks), pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and agricultural industries govern its supply and costs. Also, compliance with food safety standards and regulatory requirements for origin and quality further adds to its procurement costs.

Ethanol is another major feedstock used in the manufacturing of capsicum oleoresin. The changes in the prices and availability of agricultural feedstocks like sugarcane, molasses, etc. (factors like crop yields, weather conditions, and competition from alternative uses affect their supply) impact its production costs. The changes in its demand for fuel blending for transportation, pharmaceuticals, alcoholic beverages, chemical manufacturing, personal care products, paints and coatings, cleaning agents, and food and beverages affect its availability. It is a highly flammable and hazardous material that requires strict compliance with regulations for storage, handling, and transportation, which adds to its procurement costs.  The additional costs, like HazMat fees, specialized containers, and insurance premiums, influence its overall procurement costs.

Manufacturing Process

This report comprises a thorough value chain evaluation for Capsicum Oleoresin manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial Capsicum Oleoresin manufacturing.

• By Extraction: The feedstock for this process includes chili peppers.

The manufacturing process of capsicum oleoresin starts by extracting the active compounds from the fruits of Capsicum annuum L. or Capsicum frutescens L. using ethanol as a solvent. This extraction results in the formation of an intermediate. This intermediate extract then goes through vacuum distillation that concentrates and purifies the product, giving pure capsicum oleoresin as the final product.
 

Properties of Capsicum Oleoresin

Capsicum oleoresin is a deep red to dark red, viscous oily liquid that has a characteristic pungent, spicy odor and an extremely strong, biting taste. It has high capsaicinoid content like capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin. It is dispersible in water and soluble in organic solvents like ethanol. It has a melting point below 60 degree Celsius and a boiling point above 187 degree Celsius.

It is a mixture of fat-soluble phenolic compounds that include capsaicinoids, carotenoids, essential oils, resin acids, esters, and flavonoids. Its biological actions and the intensity of its effects are directly related to the concentration of capsaicinoids present. It is stable under normal storage conditions, but it can cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract upon contact. All these physical and chemical properties make it useful as a natural flavoring, coloring, and active ingredient in food, pharmaceutical, and personal care products.
