We are looking for a source of capsaicin or high-concentration capsaicinoid extracts in the 40-98% capsaicin level strengths. Volumes are in the thousands of pounds per year level and potentially higher in a patent-pending process for animal protection. If your company can supply such materials, please respond with product strengths and volume pricing breaks. Thanks. Victor H.
