Description

Caps CAS NO 113-40-6 is a high-purity chemical compound, specifically the natural product Capsaicin, which is the primary bioactive component responsible for the pungency of chili peppers. This compound is of significant commercial and research interest due to its potent interaction with sensory neurons, making it a critical material for both industrial and pharmaceutical applications. It is essential for manufacturers and R&D facilities in the food flavoring, pharmaceutical, and personal care industries seeking a reliable source of this specific bioactive agent.

Application

• As a key active ingredient in topical analgesic and anti-inflammatory pharmaceutical formulations (creams, patches).
• In the production of food flavorings and spice oleoresins to impart controlled pungency and heat.
• As a research biochemical for neuroscience and pharmacology studies targeting the TRPV1 receptor (vanilloid receptor 1).
• In the formulation of personal care products such as muscle rubs and warming creams.
• As an animal repellent agent in certain agricultural and pest control products.
• For use in self-defense sprays (e.g., pepper spray) as the primary irritant.
