All forms of Paprika like the powder, flakes and oleoresin are used in industrial as well as culinary food colourants. The striking red-orange colour of paprika is mainly due to the presence of keto-carotenoids, namely capsorubin and capsanthin which comprise 70-80% of the total carotenoid content of paprika. During processing and storage, the colour of paprika degrades mainly due to deterioration of carotenoids and this process is accelerated at higher temperatures and when exposed to light.

Prasan’s extensive, in depth research in this area has led to the development of Robust™ Red Paprika with decelerated colour degradation. Robust™ Paprika has enhanced stability and greater shelf life than the usual variety.
