From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of capsaicinoids, a class of compound found in members of the capsicum family. They are the chemical responsible for making chili peppers hot. The heat intensity of capsaicinoids is measured in Scoville heat units (SCU) by the Scoville heat scale.[1]

Footnotes[edit]

  1. ^ a b The SHU for Norcapsaicin and Nornorcapsaicin has not been measured. However, they are both present in bell peppers which have an SHU of 0 and so these compounds likely have an SHU of 0 or slightly above.
