A Study of Pungency of Capsaicinoid as Affected by Their Molecular Structure Alteration

Abstract

An attempt was made in an effort to synthesize a series of capsaicinoids, most of which are synthesized in our laboratory and characterized to be completely new members of capsaicinoids. The Structure-pungency dependence are presented and discussed.
