Transforming capsicum and chilli waste into high-value health productsThis project explores value-adding opportunities by repurposing crop waste from capsicum and chilli production. Specifically, it investigates the extraction of capsaicinoids from low-grade fruit and plant waste. By harnessing these compounds, the project supports the development of nutraceutical and pharmaceutical products. In parallel, it aims to repurpose the leftover biomass post-extraction as a soil improver, contributing to circular practices in crop production.
