Saponified Paprika Powder is a food-grade water-dispersible form of paprika extract produced by alkaline saponification, making the red-orange capsanthin pigments dispersible in water-based food systems.We supply bulk Saponified Paprika Powder sourced from leading China manufacturers, available in powder form to meet global food industry demand. Our Saponified Paprika Powder is widely used in water-based food product colouring, juice colouring, dairy product colouring, dressing colouring and processed meat brining/injection. HS Code: 32030090 | E Number: E160c
Saponified Paprika Powder is produced by treating paprika oleoresin with alkali (saponification) to convert fat-soluble carotenoid esters into free, water-dispersible forms.
This modification allows paprika colour to be used in aqueous food systems (beverages, dairy, sauces) where oil-soluble oleoresin would not disperse. The powder is typically spray-dried onto a carrier (starch, maltodextrin) for convenient dosing.
