Kentary chili starch is a premium ultra-fine extract derived from fresh chili peppers using advanced vacuum freeze drying (VF) and micro-grinding technology. It produces a fine powder with intense natural color, deep spiciness, and excellent solubility in both liquids and fats. Thanks to its superior technical properties, Kentary chili starch is widely used in industrial food processing, sauces, sausages, seasoning blends, and functional foods.

Kentary chili starch is a rich source of essential bioactive compounds:

• Capsaicin (0.4–1.2%): the primary spicy compound, known for anti-inflammatory effects, boosting metabolism, fat burning, and pain relief.
• Beta-carotene, Lutein, Zeaxanthin: carotenoids that protect eyesight, enhance immunity, and provide powerful antioxidant effects.
• Vitamins A, C, and E: support skin health, reduce oxidative stress, and strengthen the natural immune system.

According to the American Institute of Food Science, capsaicin in starch form is absorbed 37% faster than in fresh or dried chilies, thanks to ultra-fine particle size and low moisture content (≤3%).

VF Drying Technology – The Outstanding Advantage of Kentary Chili Starch

Kentary chili starch is produced using Vacuum Freeze Drying (VF) technology:

• Preserves the cellular structure, color, and aroma of fresh chili.
• Freeze-dried under vacuum at low temperatures, removing moisture without degrading bioactive compounds.
• After drying, chilies are ground using micro-milling equipment to create ultra-fine, uniform, and easily soluble powder.

With a standard moisture level of just 3%, the product achieves a shelf life of up to 12 months, limits microbial growth, and retains its signature spicy flavor.

Applications of Kentary Chili Starch in Culinary, Food Industry, and Herbal Medicine

Kentary chili starch is a versatile seasoning with many uses:

• Marinades for meats, fish, sausages, fermented pork rolls, and spicy snacks.
• Ingredient for sauces, instant noodles, spicy soup powders, and industrial seasonings.
• Herbal remedy for muscle pain, colds, digestive disorders, and weight loss support.
• Herbal cosmetics (warming creams, herbal patches) due to its heat-generating effect and circulation enhancement.

With excellent solubility, Kentary chili starch is ideal for large-scale production and modern applications.
