High-heat Capsicum frutescens oleoresin standardised for capsaicin content — the concentrated heat source for industrial food processing, pharmaceutical pain relief, and animal repellent applications.
Capsicum Oleoresin is extracted from Capsicum frutescens — the high-heat bird chilli variety — and standardised for total capsaicin content. Significantly higher in heat than standard Capsicum annuum (chilli) oleoresin, it is preferred for applications requiring extreme heat concentration — industrial food processing, pharmaceutical topical analgesics, marine anti-fouling paints, and animal deterrent formulations. SV Botanica supplies multiple heat grades from 100,000 SHU up to 1,000,000+ SHU.
We supply Capsicum Oleoresin in multiple standardisations to match your application requirements. Custom specifications available on request.
