Capsicum Oleoresin is obtained by the solvent extraction of Dried Red Pepper (CAPSICUM ANNUM L). Capsicum Oleoresin is essentially a concentration of capsaicinoids which give red pepper its characteristic pungency.
Capsicum Oleoresin is used to add pungency to manufactured and packaged food products such as Chips, Sauces, spreads and other snacks. Oleoresin Capsicum is also used extensively by OC spray manufacturers. Oleoresin Capsicum sprays is being used as a self defense tool and also by law enforcement agencies.
Capsicum Oleoresin is a natural extract and has a tendency to solidify on long periods of storage and in cool climates. To avoid this warm the container to about 45 to 50 degrees centigrade using a water bath.
