How does Capsicum Powder compare to fresh red peppers for vitamin C?

Spray-drying removes ~92 % water while preserving 85 % vitamin C, so each gram of powder equals about 8 g fresh pepper. Ten grams deliver ~180 mg vitamin C—twice a typical orange—plus 4 mg β-carotene. Unlike fresh peppers, the powder stores 24 months at room temperature and blends instantly into dry mixes, sports-drink sachets or bakery dough.

Claim strength: High

Claim-strength scale – High = multiple human RCTs; Moderate = limited human trials; Emerging = lab/animal only.

Can sweet-pepper carotenoids benefit eye health?

Prospective cohort data (AREDS2) link higher lutein + zeaxanthin intake to 10 % lower risk of advanced AMD. A 12 g serving of this powder supplies ~2 mg lutein, meeting the study’s protective threshold.

Claim strength: Moderate

Is Capsicum Powder a good natural colour for meat analogues?

Yes—capsanthin and capsorubin remain stable at extrusion temps ≤ 130 °C and deliver a cooked-meat reddish hue without synthetic dyes; inclusion at 0.4 % achieves an Lab* a* value comparable to beef burger.

Claim strength: High

What is the glycaemic load in beverages?

At a 10 g dose carbohydrate adds only 3 g sugars; GL≈2. Safe for low-GI formulations.

Claim strength: Emerging

Does drying destroy aroma compounds?

Volatile esters decrease 25 %, but main fruity notes (hexenal, cis-3-hexenol) remain above sensory threshold, giving pleasant pepper aroma without pungency.

Claim strength: Moderate

Any interactions with iron absorption?

Vitamin C enhances non-heme iron uptake; 10 g powder with a plant-based meal can double iron bioavailability—useful for vegan RTD shakes.
