Red Chili Powder
Heat- and Colour-Giving Spice
Red chili powder is milled from dried red peppers (Capsicum annuum / frutescens); capsaicin provides the heat and capsanthin the red colour. It is used for both pungency and colour in fermented sausage, kebab and döner seasonings, hot sauces, snack coatings, seasoning blends and ready meals. PERDIST compares heat level (SHU), colour value (ASTA), moisture, grind size and aflatoxin/pesticide analyses against the supplier specification for wholesale chili powder requests and offers different heat grades with their documents. For wholesale chili powder PERDIST proposes a lot against your colour strength and heat range; a sample and the batch analysis document go out with the quotation. Packaging and delivery follow your line. For repeat orders the same specification is tracked so colour and heat stay consistent.
