Steam-sterilized paprika powder at ASTA 120 and above
Bulk buyers who need steam-sterilized paprika at ASTA 120 and above use this path. We keep color measurable, mesh explicit, and CoA fields ready for export desks.
Why ASTA 120+ is the export conversation
Export desks care about repeatable color. We quote a band and verify on the lot — marketing photos never replace the ASTA number on the CoA.
Steam path inside the factory line
Same factory spine as snack paprika, with steam called out early so sterilize status is never a late surprise.
Raw-material path to ASTA 120+
Raw paprika for high ASTA lots is selected for color potential at intake. We record the intake target; we do not invent a farm story.
Packing formats buyers name in RFQs
Bulk packing is usually food-grade bags in cartons or on pallets. Name the format in the RFQ so freight and warehouse teams plan once.

Lot identity from bag to your plant
Bulk bags leave with lot identity intact. Your warehouse should keep the same identity through to production.
How we keep sample and bulk aligned
We compare sample ASTA to bulk ASTA inside the agreed window. Outside the window, we talk before ship.
Lab color checks export desks trust
Lab color checks close the loop for export buyers who need a number, not a mood board.
