Capsaicin (pronounced /?kæp?se??.s?n/ ) (8- methyl - N - vanillyl -6-nonen amide , (CH 3 ) 2 CHCH=CH(CH 2 ) 4 CONHCH 2 C 6 H 3 -4-(OH)-3-(OCH 3 )) is the active component of chili peppers , which are plants belonging to the genus Capsicum . It is an irritant for mammals , including humans , and produces a sensation of burning in any tissue with which it comes into contact. Capsaicin and several related compounds are called capsaicinoids and are produced as a secondary metabolite by chili peppers, probably as deterrents against certain herbivores and fungi . [ 1 ] Pure capsaicin is a hydrophobic , colorless, odorless, crystalline to waxy compound.
