A new study has identified molecules that can temper the heat of chilli peppers. The results point to the possibility of turning these compounds into an “anti-spice”.
A range of samples was examined and three compounds associated with lower pungency were isolated. Chemical analyses predicted their effect, and a trained tasting panel confirmed that samples containing these compounds produced a weaker heat sensation.
