| [Chemical Properties]
The main ingredients are capsanthin and capsorubin. It comes in an orange-red viscous liquid, paste, or powder with a chili odor, but without a spicy taste. It is soluble in organic solvents such as oils and ethanol, and exhibits an orange-red to orange-red color when dissolved in oil. It is insoluble in water. It has excellent emulsification and dispersibility, heat resistance, and acid resistance, but slightly poor light resistance. It is stable to metal ions and exhibits strong tinting power. Its maximum absorption wavelength in acetone is 470nm. The oral LD50 in mice is >1.7g/kg. Extracted from red peppers, it is highly safe. | [Uses]
Capsanthin may be used as an analytical reference standard for the quantification of the analyte in red pepper powder, red pepper fruits, paprika and oleoresin using chromatography techniques. | [Uses]
antineoplastic | [Definition]
ChEBI: Capsanthin is a carotenone. It has a role as a plant metabolite. | [General Description]
Capsanthin, also known as the red pepper carotenoid, is one of the major color pigments of paprika oleoresin, an oil-soluble extract, isolated from the fruits of Capsicum annum Linn or Capsicum frutescens. It is widely used as a color additive in food industries across the globe. The photoprotective effect of capsanthin protects human dermal fibroblasts against UVB induced DNA damage. | [Biochem/physiol Actions]
Capsanthin is a potential nutraceutical, is found in green vegetables and is a constituent of paprika and asparagus. Capsanthin has been shown to exhibit anti-proliferative function. | [Purification Methods]
Possible impurities are zeaxanthin and capsorubin (below). Purify capsanthin by chromatography on a column of alumina (grade IV) and develop with 0.2% EtOH in *C6H6. It |
| Questions And Answer | Back Directory | [Description]
Capsanthin is the major colouring compounds contained in the Paprika oleoresin, which is a kind of oil-soluble extract isolated from the fruits Capsicum annuum or Capsicum frutescens, and is a colouring and/or flavouring in food products. As a pink pigment, Capsanthin is very abundant in peppers, accounting for 60% of the proportions of all flavonoids in the peppers. It has antioxidant properties, being able to help the body to scavenge the free radicals as well as inhibiting the growth of cancer cells.
