Capsorubin

Capsorubin (CAS 470-38-2) is a red ketocarotenoid pigment extracted primarily from red peppers. It delivers intense red coloration and antioxidant activity in food and cosmetic formulations, where stable natural pigmentation is a sourcing priority.

In food manufacturing, this pigment is used to impart deep red hues to processed meats, sauces, seasonings, and dairy products where synthetic dye replacement is a formulation target. It provides a robust alternative to artificial colors.

Cosmetic formulators incorporate it into lipsticks, blushes, and skin-care products requiring natural-origin red pigmentation with concurrent antioxidant function. It is also used in nutraceutical capsules and dietary supplements positioned around carotenoid content.

As a natural colorant, it supports clean-label reformulation strategies across both food and personal care product lines. This versatility makes it a preferred choice for manufacturers seeking to meet modern consumer demands for transparency.

The material is supplied as an oleoresin, oil suspension, or standardized powder, typically derived from Capsicum oleoresin extraction. It is available in food-grade quality, with concentration levels standardized by carotenoid content.

Specifications are aligned with food additive requirements in relevant markets, ensuring compliance with global safety protocols. Material is commonly offered alongside capsanthin as part of a mixed paprika carotenoid fraction.

Our supply chain ensures that the product meets rigorous FCC and USP standards for purity and performance. This ensures consistent color intensity and stability across various industrial applications and storage conditions.
