Nonivamide

A capsaicinoid, a close relative of the capsaicin in chilli peppers: it is the amide of pelargonic acid with vanillylamine. Found naturally in chilli peppers but mostly made synthetically, it adds pungency to seasonings and sweets. This family brings together the active ingredient, nitrosamines and other impurities.

Did you know?Like capsaicin, it deters mammals from eating plants and seeds, but not birds or insects, so it is also used as an animal repellent. It is also more heat-stable than capsaicin.
