Paprika Extract Professional

30 Times Stronger Colour than Regular Paprika!

Paprika extract, also known as E160c, is a highly-concentrated colourant derived from the capsanthin and capsorubin compounds in red paprika peppers. This extract offers a consistent and intense red-orange hue, far surpassing the regular paprika powder used in kitchens.

For applications requiring precise and heat-stable colouration, this powder is an ideal choice for food professionals seeking vibrant, rich red-orange hues. It is often combined with other food colourings to create a wide range of shades.

A Highly-Concentrated Colouring Powder

Unlike the common red colourants synthesised in labs, paprika extract is plant-based and designed to provide superior colouring strength without altering the flavour profile of final food products.

In terms of flavour, paprika extract has a slightly sweet and mildly smokey taste but hardly noticeable when mixed. It’s generally not used to add flavour to foods but rather to add a brilliant deep red-orange colour.
