4. Conclusions
Traditionally, red colorants of peppers (Paprika Red) are usually
extracted from dried red peppers in the industrial production.
However, the red pigments would be destroyed in the drying
process. Meanwhile, lots of energy were consumed and multifarious
equipments with comprehensive procedureswere also needed
in the thermal drying process of FRPs. In this work, fresh red
peppers without any drying process were directly used as materials
for stage extraction of capsaicinoids and red pigments with ethanol
as solvent
