Depending on what you are studying the answer will be different. In one case, capsiacin can bind to the S2-S4 transmembrane section of a TRPV1 channel. This simulates the sensation of heat, as TRPV1 is a thermosensitive channel.
Capsaicin is the chemical that makes hot peppers hot. Most animals (specifically, mammals; birds appear to be unaffected by it) don't like it much because of the burning sensation it produces.
Come on, are you daft? Look at the periodic table. 'C' is for carbon, not capsaicin. Capsaicin is a fairly complex chemical compound: (CH3)2CHCH=CH(CH2)4CONHCH2C6H3-4-(OH)-3-(OCH3) ) It is mostly carbon and hydrogen, with a little oxygen and nitrogen.
Capsaicin is the molecule that gives chili peppers their "heat". Thus, it is naturally found in peppers of the genus Capsicum, which includes all chili peppers. Pure capsaicin does not occur naturally.
The disorder caused by the body's exaggerated response to foreign chemicals and proteins is called an allergy. Symptoms can range from mild reactions like itching and sneezing to severe reactions like anaphylaxis.
No, it is chemical that binds to certain receptors and produce a sensation of pain or burning.
Symptoms of a capsaicin allergy may include skin irritation, hives, itching, or difficulty breathing. Treatment options typically involve avoiding capsaicin-containing foods and products, using antihistamines for mild reactions, and seeking medical attention for severe symptoms.
Capsaicin supplements may offer benefits such as pain relief, improved metabolism, and potential weight loss. However, risks include gastrointestinal issues, skin irritation, and potential allergic reactions. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider before taking capsaicin supplements.
Capsaicin is pronounced; cap-SAY-sin.
Capsaicin is a crystalline compound, with the formula C18H27NO3, which can be found in capsicum.
Seems to be just chili peppers - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capsaicin.

use ethanol in a soxhlet extractor to get the capsaicin from dried peppers
No, capsaicin is not a type of atom. It is considered a type of molecule, or more specifically, a pure substance.
(Chilli) Peppers contain a substance called capsaicin, the more capsaicin, the hotter the pepper.
Yes, capsaicin is an oil-based compound found in chili peppers.
No, ginger does not contain capsaicin. Capsaicin is a compound found in chili peppers that gives them their spicy heat, while ginger contains other compounds like gingerol and shogaol that contribute to its distinct flavor and health benefits.
Scott Horn: "Capsaicin is a molecular compound, as opposed to an ionic compound. It does not dissociate in water, and therefore solutions of capsaicin do not have a pH that is easy to calculate. The pH of capsaicin in solution would depend primarily on the liquid the capsaicin was dissolved in."
