Introduction of Capsaicin

Capsaicin, with the chemical name trans-8-methyl-N-vanglo-6-nonenamide and the chemical formula C18H27NO3, is an active ingredient in chili peppers. It is irritating to mammals, including humans, and can cause a burning sensation in the mouth.

Effect

1. Capsaicin helps digestion and appetite;

2. Capsaicin promotes blood circulation;

3. It is beneficial to the skin;

4. Capsaicin protects the heart.

5. It is a good condiment.

6. It is potentially lies in losing weight by burning fat.

1. As a food additive.

As a food seasoning, chili peppers need to be lightly processed to make chili sauce, etc. But when consuming these products, the capsaicin undergoes a leaching process, and the bioavailability of capsaicin is not high. At the same time, alkali continues to be released in the intestine, stimulating the intestinal wall, which can cause abdominal discomfort and even cause anal burning pain, leading to hemorrhoids. Therefore, extracting and isolating capsaicin from chili peppers as an additive in food processing is beneficial for controlling spiciness and fully absorbing and utilizing capsaicin.

2. In terms of healthcare:

China is one of the earliest countries to use chili peppers as medicine, and traditional Chinese medicine uses chili peppers to treat diseases such as stomach cold and rheumatism. Modern research shows that capsaicin has anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anesthetic and detoxification effects. Its analgesic effect is equal to that of morphine, but more lasting than that of morphine. It has significant effects on postherpetic neuralgia, trigeminal neuralgia, diabetes neuralgia, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, psoriasis, alopecia, etc. In addition, capsaicin can also inhibit the occurrence of malignant tumors and has special effects on treating skin diseases, weight loss, etc.

3. Applied to marine anti fouling coatings:

Some attached organisms in the ocean, such as barnacles, seaweed, shellfish, etc., are heavily attached to ship bottoms, buoys, docks, bridge piers, seawater pipelines, and aquaculture cages. Due to their large quantity and extremely fast growth rate, they can slow down ship speed, increase fuel, accelerate metal corrosion, block pipelines and cage meshes, and cause imbalance in underwater facilities, causing great harm to human development of the ocean. Capsaicin, as a repellent, has a strong driving effect and does not kill marine organisms, and has obvious ecological benefits.

4. As ants and rodent repellents in wires and cables,

polyvinyl chloride and polyethylene are increasingly used as insulation and sheathing materials in the wire and cable industry. In addition to being damaged by oxygen, heat, light, force, and chemical erosion, they can also be damaged by termites, mice, or wild rabbits, leading to power outages, communication interruptions, and even short circuits, causing fires. By utilizing the strong and spicy taste of capsaicin, the oral mucosa and taste nerves of rodents can be strongly stimulated and hate chewing, while also killing termites. It has a broad application prospect in wires and cables.
