PURE CAPSAICIN
Pure capsaicin is the highly concentrated chemical compound responsible for the intense heat found in chili peppers. It is a colorless, and has a sweet aroma comparable to vanilla. It is a crystalline substance that binds to heat-sensing nerve receptors (TRPV1) in the mouth and skin, producing a strong burning sensation rather than flavor. Pure capsaicin can reach up to about 16 million Scoville Heat Units, making it one of the hottest naturally occurring substances known. It’s used in scientific research, pharmaceutical products such as topical pain-relief creams and patches, and specialized industrial applications — but must be handled with extreme care due to its potent irritant effects.
