Brief Summary

Capsaicinoids are defined as alkaloid compounds of the Capsicum genus, they are characterised by the pungent flavor of chili. About the Capsicum genus, there are more than 20 known compounds, including dihydrocapsaicin, nordihydrocapsaicin, homodihydrocapsaicin and homocapsaicin. Capsaicin is the most popular compound in the biotechnological food industries. Recent studies has demonstrated the benefits of capsaicin in weight loss, however, the use of this molecule is limited given its high pungent capacity. Pungency develops due to the high affinity of capsaicin for the transient vanilloid potential receptor type 1 (TRPV1), which is primarily responsible for the transmission of pain. In order to eliminate pungency, capsaicin analogs have been developed, such as olvanil, this can become an alternative for its biotechnological and pharmaceutical purposes as an antiobesogenic treatment.
