rareingredients

Hi Guys, I sell pure Capsaicin powder (latest batch 97%+) in my eBay shop, it has no flavour (to speak of) just pure heat :mouthonfire: !! So you could use it to boost your home made sauces :-) my descriptions are a bit hammed up for the public, but I'm not about to teach you guys to suck eggs, you know more about it than me!

see if it will be of any use to you guys:-

Thanks!

Hi! It is manufactured in India, the Capsaicin is produced from the Oleoresin by the saponification process so no solvents are required at all (this powder is USP Pharmaceutical grade), I am just verifying with my supplier how the Oleoresin is extracted from the fruit, as soon as I know I will post up here :)

I know that provenance is important so I am happy to answer any questions you have :)
 
Ok, update on the production of this powder, I will describe the production process as supplied to me:-

1) Chillies are de-seeded

2) Powdered

3) Solvent extraction using Methanol and Hexane/Acetone/Ethylene Dichloride the final product of capsicum oleoresin

4) oleoresin is then fractioned into two parts, paprika oleoresin which is the colour, and the pungent fraction.

5) Pungent fraction is then distilled into capsicum oleoresin which has less than 20ppm of solvent (this is within FDA guidelines of 30ppm see http://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/ntp/roc/eleventh/profiles/s065dich.pdf )

6) Capsicum oleoresin is then processed via saponification into the pure capsaicin powder, no solvents are used in this process

Any other queries then please ask! :)
 
im sorry for bumping an old thread... but i was under the impression that isolating PURE crystalline capsaicin required chromatography and other uneconomical methods. ive read that crystalline capsaicin is actually cheeper to synthesize.

id suggest that this stuff is more likely isolated CAPSAICINOIDS(capsaicin, dihydrocapsaicin, and nordihydrocapsaicin) pure crystalline capsaicin will actually damage tissue on contact.

can you provide any more information on this stuff? im aware of something the industry calls capsaicin flour but i think its a synonym for powdered pepper flesh
 
I didn't even see this thread, but the product looks interesting. I'd love to know what it feels like to bump a line of this stuff :rofl:

lol, im sure you have read the quote from that chemist that accidentally inhaled like a mg?

i think he said something like, "it wont kill you but you will wish you were dead."
 
I gave some pure cap to shayne, a member here and he ate it on you-tube a couple of times a few years back. Here's what the seller Muso2112 had to say about it

Howdy, Y'all....

Been out of the scene for a little bit. Stopped selling my product mainly from misuse by customers.

A few things to note about Pure Cap Crystal. This is a Powdered form of the crystal. It has been ground and some clumping will occur, giving a 'flake' effect. Can you imagine salt that has been ground?? It's still crystaline, just ground up.

I is NOT readily water soluble. Like trying to dissolve WAX in water. It doesn't happen. You get a suspension mixture at best. Little particles of wax (Solute) suspended in the water (Solvent), a mechanical mixture that has to be agitated to maintain it's apparent dilute state. Alcohol will 'melt' the pure cap, but it will separate over time leaving a little pool of pure cap in a liquid state. (and remember that Over The Counter vodka, which has the least taste of any alcohol - let's not debate this - is 40% pure alcohol, and even then as it imparts some of it's properties to 'melt' the crystal, is essense 'diluting' the strength of the pure cap already.

Now, a little math: The vial holds approximately 1/2ml FULL. It's only half full, therefore approx. 1/4 ml. One CUP equals 236.6 ml. Already the ratio, if you add the WHOLE vial to ONE CUP, you'll get a ratio of 1/4:236.6, or 1:946.4. Almost 1000 times dilute. Soooo, 16 million reduced 946.4 times is 16906.17. That 16906 SHU for a CUP of anything with a WHOLE VIAL of crystal. That ain't so bad when you think about it. Can you imagine a single grain in a gallon? What would the ratio be? How many grains in a gallon???? Now YOU do the math.

Ok, so we decide to be brave and put a tiny crystal on our tongue. Now we can get into solubility again and bring into the equation surface area. What has more surface area: a cube of sugar or the equivalent free flowing on a teaspoon? RIGHT!! the free flowing has a LOT more surface area. Exponentially more! (A cube of sugar on your tongue just sitting there doesn't taste very sweet, does it, compared to the equivalent poured in your mouth.....) So, don't put a crystal on your tongue. Crush it up to give it A LOT of surface area. Now yer f*ct.

I have the MSDS on this product. I've stopped selling it (to the general public) due to gross misuse. Someone is going to hit the right combination and really be in for a ride. I know for a fact about respiratory distress, first hand, from this product.

Be careful, be safe, be smart.

To all my fans and friends, Thanks. To all the rest..... :-P

wow, it sounds like you need to dissolve the crystal into some hot oil or something to dilute it.

is Muso2112 still active on the board? id like to PM him for that MSDS, im so confused. now i think this stuff IS pure capsaicin. i just skimmed a paper that mentioned the "Tice (1933) and Buchi and Hippenmeier (1948)." methods of isolation, neither of which seem to require chromotography.

It's now banned in the UK as of the Jan. 1st, but there are many U.S suppliers. (not cheap by any means)

Short answer-yes,

THP can edit or pull this post if needed, but since we're in the marketplace and the tread is active again,... I'm developing a product using 16 mil pure capsaicin and getting it into a more user-friendly form. Have done a couple test runs with positive results.

capsaicin powders are available on eBay by the gram.
