La Biosíntesis De Capsaicinoides, El Principio Picante Del Chile

Abstract: El típico sabor picante de los frutos de chile del género Capsicum, se debe a la presencia de un grupo de compuestos conocidos como capsaicinoides que se sintetizan y acumulan en el tejido placentario. Los capsaicinoides son amidas formadas por la unión de la vainillilamina con un ácido graso y aunque se conocen alrededor de 20 de estos compuestos, la capsaicina [(E)-N-(4-hidroxi-3-metoxibencil)-8-metil-6-nonenamida] y su análogo 6,7-dihidro, la dihidrocapsaicina, en conjunto llegan a representar más de 90 % d… Show more

“…The uptake of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazil (DPPH) radicals was determined by analyzing the reduction in DPPH according to [18]; 100 µL of the tomato extract was added to 2900 µL of the 0.1 mM solution of DPPH in methanol. The solution was left to react for 30 min and the measurement was carried out at a wavelength of 517 nm.…”

“…During the biosynthesis of capsaicinoids, the portion of the vanillilamine molecule is synthesized by the phenylpropanoid path and the portion of fatty acids is synthesized from valine, leucine and isoleucine. The final step is the combination of both (9,10).…”

“…El acido graso se forma a partir de aminoacidos de cadena lateral ramificada, ya sea de valina o leucina. Las diferencias de estructura de los capsaicinoides (CAP'S) residen en la naturaleza de la cadena lateral, que puede ser de 9 u 11 carbonos de largo, con un numero variable de enlaces dobles colocados en diferentes posiciones (Vazquez-Flota et al 2007). Figura 15.…”
