Polygodial is

water-pepper, and Dendrodoris limbata.[1][2][3][4][5]

Chemically it is a

dialdehyde
of formula C15H22O2.

It elicits a warm and pungent flavour.

The

Polygodial’s primary antifungal action is as a nonionic surfactant, disrupting the lipid-protein interface of integral proteins nonspecifically, denaturing their functional conformation. It is also likely that polygodial permeates by passive diffusion across the plasma membrane, and once inside the cells may react with a variety of intracellular compounds.[18]

It is also an insecticide with antifeedant properties, which causes insects to starve.
