Chilli Seed Oil

Chilli Seed Oil is a warm, spicy aromatic oil obtained from the seeds of Capsicum annuum and related chilli peppers. Depending on the method used, it may be a steam-distilled oil, a CO2 extract or a carrier oil infused with chilli. It is used in food flavours, warming balms, massage oils, hair oils and speciality cosmetic products.

Arizone International supplies Chilli Seed Oil and related chilli extracts for food processors, flavour houses, balm and cosmetic manufacturers, and exporters.

India, the Chilli Capital

India is the world's largest producer, consumer and exporter of dried chillies. Andhra Pradesh, especially the Guntur region, is the biggest producing area, followed by Telangana, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra. Famous Indian varieties include Guntur Sannam, Byadgi, Kashmiri and Bhut Jolokia from the north-east, once rated the hottest chilli in the world. Chilli seeds are a by-product of the chilli processing industry, which makes them a useful source for oil.

Types of Chilli Oil

• Chilli Seed Oil (Pressed or Extracted)A fixed oil from the seeds, mild in heat, rich in linoleic acid and used in food and cosmetics.
