Capsaicinoids are a group of important compounds that are particularly synthesized by various members of the genus Capsicum in their placenta. Capsaicin is the most abundant vanilloid compound among the different capsaicinoids in hot peppers.
Jan 28, 2011 · Capsaicin is a unique alkaloid found primarily in the fruit of the Capsicum genus and is what provides its spicy flavor. Generally extracted directly from fruit, high demand has driven the use of established methods to increase production through extraction and characterization.

Jun 28, 2016 · Plants from Capsicum genus produce many capsaicin-related compounds. Due to their similarity with capsaicin, these molecules can be grouped in a family called capsaicinoids. Capsaicinoids include dihydrocapsaicin, nordihydrocapsaicin, homodihydrocapsaicin, and homocapsaicin (Figure 1).

Aug 23, 2024 · capsaicin, the most abundant of the pungent principles of hot peppers (Capsicum). It is an organic nitrogen compound belonging to the lipid group, but it is often erroneously classed among the alkaloids, a family of nitrogenous compounds with marked physiological effects.
Oleoresin capsicum (OC), pelargonic acid vallinylamide (PAVA), and capsaicin are derived from the pepper plant. The ingredients in hot peppers that are responsible for ‘the heat’ are called capsaicinoids. Capsaicinoids are a family of chemicals and they come with various heat qualities.
