  What is Capsaicin Powder?  

Capsaicin powder is an extremely spicy vanilloid alkaloid with strong irritation. It is the spicy ingredient in chili peppers and the source of the medicinal ingredients in chili peppers. Studies have shown that capsaicin has strong analgesic, anti-inflammatory and anti-fatigue effects. It can also cause the skin blood vessels to swell slightly, improve microcirculation, and reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.

  Production Process of Capsaicin Extraction  

1. Raw Material Pretreatment

· Select mature, red-colored, spicy chili peppers free of mildew.

· Wash to remove sand, dirt, and impurities (e.g., chili stems).

· Dry to 8%-12% moisture content, avoiding high temperatures (recommended hot air ≤45℃ to preserve active ingredients).

· Break the peppers and separate seeds from peels (capsaicin mainly resides in peels).

· Grind into 40-60 mesh particles to increase solvent contact area.

2. Solvent Extraction

· Common solvents: 95% ethanol (food-grade), acetone, n-hexane, or other organic solvents.

· Extraction methods:

· Ambient temperature maceration: Mix chili powder with solvent and steep statically for 48 hours (suitable for small-scale production).

· Countercurrent extraction: Industrial-scale use of pressure-resistant extraction tanks where solvent and raw material contact reversely to enhance efficiency.

· Reflux extraction: Heat under reflux for 20-30 minutes to shorten extraction time.

3. Preliminary Concentration & Solvent Recovery

· Filter the extraction liquid to remove residues.

· Recover solvents via vacuum distillation or evaporation to obtain crude capsicum oleoresin.

4. Purification & Refinement

· De-colorization and impurity removal: Treat with alkali solution or adsorb with activated carbon to eliminate pigments and odors.

· Molecular distillation: Separate high-purity capsaicin under low-temperature and vacuum conditions to avoid thermal degradation.

· Supercritical CO₂ extraction (optional): Achieve solvent-free residue and direct high-purity product (requires high-pressure equipment).

5. Finished Product Preparation

· Standardize and blend the concentrated solution to produce liquid capsaicin extract or crystalline powder.

· Residues (chili meal) can be processed into feed or further extracted for other components.

  Capsaicin Powder Benefits  

Potent Analgesic Effects
Capsaicin is a natural pain reliever that works by desensitizing sensory neurons, making it effective for managing neuropathic pain, arthritis, and muscle soreness. Topical applications reduce pain signals by depleting substance P, a neurotransmitter responsible for transmitting pain impulses. Studies show it provides significant relief for conditions like post-herpetic neuralgia and diabetic neuropathy, often used in creams, patches, or gels for targeted relief.

Anti-Inflammatory Properties
By inhibiting pro-inflammatory cytokines and reducing oxidative stress, capsaicin helps alleviate inflammation. It targets the TRPV1 receptor, which regulates immune responses and inflammation, making it useful in supplements or topical treatments for joint inflammation, tendonitis, and post-workout recovery. Its anti-inflammatory effects also support respiratory health by reducing nasal congestion when used in nasal sprays or inhalants.

Metabolic and Weight Management Support
Capsaicin boosts metabolism by increasing thermogenesis, the process by which the body generates heat and burns calories. It can raise energy expenditure by 5–10% and enhance fat oxidation, making it a popular ingredient in weight-loss supplements. Additionally, it may suppress appetite by stimulating satiety signals, helping to reduce calorie intake when consumed in moderate doses.

Cardiovascular Health Benefits
Research suggests capsaicin may improve heart health by lowering blood pressure and cholesterol levels. It enhances blood vessel dilation, improves blood flow, and reduces platelet aggregation, thereby decreasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Consuming capsaicin regularly (e.g., in dietary supplements) may support overall circulatory function and heart health.

Antimicrobial and Anticancer Potential
Capsaicin exhibits antibacterial activity against pathogens like Staphylococcus aureus and E. coli, making it a natural preservative in food products. In research, it shows promise in inhibiting cancer cell growth by inducing apoptosis (programmed cell death) in tumor cells, particularly in prostate, breast, and pancreatic cancer studies. While more clinical trials are needed, these properties highlight its potential in pharmaceutical research.

Skin and Hair Health Enhancement
Topical capsaicin stimulates blood circulation in the skin, promoting collagen production and improving skin texture. It’s used in anti-aging creams to reduce wrinkles and in hair growth products to activate hair follicles, potentially preventing hair loss. When formulated in low concentrations, it can also soothe itchy skin and reduce dandruff by regulating sebum production.

Gastrointestinal Health Support
Despite its spicy reputation, capsaicin can benefit digestion by increasing saliva production and promoting stomach acid secretion, which aids nutrient absorption. It may also protect the stomach lining by reducing inflammation and inhibiting the growth of Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium linked to ulcers. However, high doses may irritate the gastrointestinal tract in sensitive individuals.

Cognitive Function and Neuroprotection
Studies suggest capsaicin may support brain health by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation in the nervous system. It has been associated with a lower risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, as well as improved memory and cognitive performance. Its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier allows it to directly influence neuronal health and function.

Efficacy Meets Ethics: Why Biotech Beauty is the Next Big Thing

 

  Capsaicin Powder Apllications  

  1. Analgesia and antipruritic effect: Capsaicin can affect the release and storage of nerves, thereby achieving the effects of analgesia and antipruritic effect. It has been widely used to treat diseases such as arthritis, muscle pain, back pain, sports sprains and post-herpetic neuralgia.

  2. Promote blood circulation: It can dilate blood vessels, promote blood circulation, help improve heart function, increase cardiac output, reduce myocardial oxygen consumption, and improve myocardial ischemia.

  3. Heat resistance and sterilization: Capsaicin powder can inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandins in the hypothalamic regulatory center and vascular wall, causing peripheral blood vessels to dilate and sweat to achieve the effect of antipyretic. At the same time, it can also interfere with the oxidative metabolism process in bacteria, which helps to kill bacteria.

  4. Anti-inflammatory: It has the effect of reducing inflammatory reactions, such as its application in certain inflammatory diseases.

  5. Assisted weight loss: It can promote metabolism, increase energy consumption, and help control weight.

  6. Treatment of skin diseases: It has a certain effect on skin diseases such as psoriasis and frostbite.

  7. Industrial application: Capsaicin in high-spiciness peppers is an important industrial raw material, which can be made into special products such as paints, anesthetics and even tear gas.

  Safety Profile of Kintai's Capsaicin Powder  

1. Toxicological Considerations

· Acute Toxicity:
Capsaicin (CAS: 404-86-4) is a natural alkaloid with low acute toxicity. Animal studies show oral LD₅₀ values > 2000 mg/kg in rodents, indicating minimal risk from accidental ingestion at standard doses. Kintai’s products undergo acute toxicity testing to ensure compliance with international safety standards (e.g., FDA, EFSA).
