Uncovering compounds that tame the heat of chili peppers

“...they hold significant medical potential in the design of (non-opioid) analgesic agents for pain management"

15-May-2025 - When biting into a chili pepper, you expect a fiery sensation on your tongue. This spiciness is detected because of capsaicinoid compounds. But for some peppers, despite high levels of capsaicinoids, the heat is mysteriously dull. Now, researchers reporting in ACS’ Journal of Agricultural and ...
