Nordihydrocapsiate, a New Capsinoid from the Fruits of a Nonpungent Pepper, <i>Capsicum annuum</i>

Abstract

A new capsiate-like substance, named nordihydrocapsiate (1), has been isolated from the fruits of a nonpungent cultivar, CH-19 Sweet, of pepper (Capsicum annuum). The structure of 1 was determined to be 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl 7-methyloctanoate by spectroscopic methods.
