Red Pepper (Capsicum) Water Soluble Extract | Mirch, Mirapakaya

Red Pepper Liquid Extract carries capsaicinoids with flavonoid glycosides and fruit polysaccharides from Capsicum annuum fruit. Capsaicinoids are only sparingly water-soluble, so a water-derived liquid carries far less heat than an oleoresin at the same nominal inclusion. Specify the capsaicinoid percentage and handle as an irritant. Red Pepper (Capsicum) Water-Soluble Extract — known as Mirch / Mirchi in Hindi, Milagai in Tamil, Mirapakaya in Telugu, Mulaku in Malayalam, and Mirchi in Marathi (Capsicum annuum).

FAQs

What are the primary formulation applications of Red Pepper (Capsicum)?
Most buyers use it in topical warming water phases and seasoning premixes. As with any new water-soluble extract, pilot-test in your specific base before committing to a full production run.

Which carrier should I choose — water, propylene glycol or glycerin?
Water alone suits most aqueous formulations. Propylene glycol improves cold-stability and solvency in preserved systems; glycerin gives a milder, skin-friendlier carrier for leave-on formulations. PG and glycerin variants are offered at 500 g and 1 Kg, with PG also available at 5 Kg.
