MCQ (Single Correct) +4 −1

Pungent principle of chilli is

Capxanthin Capsaicin Correct Chalcone Capsirubin

Capsaicin Principle: Pungency (heat/spiciness) in chilli peppers (Capsicum annuum and Capsicum frutescens) is caused by capsaicin (8-methyl-N-vanillyl-6-nonenamide) and related capsaicinoids, which activate heat-sensing TRPV1 receptors on sensory nerve endings.
Capsanthin & Capsorubin: The principal carotenoid pigments responsible for the intense red color of ripe dried chilli fruits, possessing no pungency.
Chalcone: An aromatic ketone flavonoid intermediate. (Correct answer: Option 2)
