About: Capsinoids

Capsinoids, which include , , and , are substances naturally present in chili peppers. Although they are structurally similar to capsaicin, the substance that causes pungency in hot peppers, they largely lack that characteristic. Capsinoids have an estimated "hot taste threshold" which is about 1/1000 that of capsaicin. Capsinoids were not reported in the scientific literature until 1989, when biologists first isolated them in a unique variety of chili peppers, CH-19 Sweet, which does not contain capsaicin. Capsinoids include capsiate, dihydrocapsiate, and nordihydrocapsiate.

  • Capsinoids, which include , , and , are substances naturally present in chili peppers. Although they are structurally similar to capsaicin, the substance that causes pungency in hot peppers, they largely lack that characteristic. Capsinoids have an estimated "hot taste threshold" which is about 1/1000 that of capsaicin. Capsinoids were not reported in the scientific literature until 1989, when biologists first isolated them in a unique variety of chili peppers, CH-19 Sweet, which does not contain capsaicin. Capsinoids include capsiate, dihydrocapsiate, and nordihydrocapsiate. Many health effects have been ascribed to capsaicin and capsinoids, both anecdotally and through scientific study, including anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic activities, and weight management.

  • I capsinoidi sono dei metaboliti secondari presenti in piante del genere Capsicum. Anche se strutturalmente simili alla capsaicina, la sostanza responsabile della piccantezza del peperoncino, in gran parte non hanno questa caratteristica. L'esistenza dei capsinoidi non era nota in letteratura scientifica fino al 1989, anno in cui sono stati isolati da una varietà di peperoncino, la CH-19 Sweet, che non contiene capsaicina. I capsinoidi includono il capsiato, diidrocapsiato, e nordiidrocapsiato. Dal punto di vista chimico i capsinoidi differiscono dai capsaicinoidi in quanto presentano un legame estereo dove i capsaicinoidi presentano invece un legame ammidico. (it)
