Nordihydrocapsaicin is a capsaicinoid and analog and congener of capsaicin in chili peppers (Capsicum).

Properties

Like capsaicin, it is an

lipophilic colorless odorless crystalline to waxy solid. On the Scoville scale it has 9,100,000 SHU (Scoville heat units),[1]
significantly higher than pepper spray.
