How to prepare capsaicin
The preparation method of pure crystalline capsaicin (0C) or higher concentration (>: 5%) is generally patented, and you can spend money to buy it if you want to produce it on a large scale.

Capsaicin crystals and capsaicin crystals

Technical specification of products

Capsaicin crystals are made from edible natural pepper fruits, and the products are white or yellowish needle crystals, with a total capsaicin content of 95%, among which: capsaicin >; 60%, dihydrocapsaicin >; 20%, other capsaicin compounds

Application of capsaicin crystal

Capsaicin has strong analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. The National Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has confirmed that there is no evidence that capsaicin is harmful to human body. It is mainly used to produce single or compound ointment and other preparations, and is widely used to treat arthritis, myalgia, backache, sports sprain, postherpetic neuralgia and so on.

Non-toxic biological antifouling paint made of capsaicin as the active ingredient can prevent marine organisms from adhering, and is widely used on marine ships to prevent marine organisms from adhering and ensure the normal navigation of ships in the ocean. At the same time, it can be widely used in thermal power plants, nuclear power plants and other equipment that need to exchange heat with a large amount of seawater in coastal areas to prevent marine life from blocking the water inlet pipe.

Capsaicin, as a pest repellent, has been used to make functional plastic particles and termite-proof and rodent-proof coatings, used in the manufacture of cables, underground buildings and civil furniture.

Application of capsaicin crystal

Oral drugs and injections made of capsaicin crystals, as second-class new drug products, can play a strong analgesic role in drug efficacy, which is more effective than ibuprofen. Injection has a strong analgesic effect on severe pain caused by extensive trauma and late cancer, and is not addictive, so it can be used instead of Demerol. American scientists also found that the drug injection made of high-purity capsaicin crystal is a new drug with broad spectrum and high efficiency, which has a strong effect on almost all drug addicts.

product mix
