The cocktail enzyme-assisted natural deep eutectic solvent (CE-NADES) has been tailored for the efficient extraction of capsaicin, the characteristic bioactive compound of chili peppers (CPs), in this study. The extraction procedures were optimized as choline chloride:1,4-butanediol (molar ratio 1:3), extraction temperature 38 °C, liquid-solid ratio 27.5 mL/g, water content 17.8 % (v/v) and extraction time 28 min, which yield was 9.91 ± 0.13 mg/g. Moreover, CE pretreatment, by destroying plant structures, accelerated the release of capsaicin and consequently reduced the maximum decomposition temperature of CP residues to 260.5 °C after extraction. Meanwhile, more hydrogen bonds (134.72 at lifetime 3.98 ps) formed between capsaicin and NADES to facilitate the mass transfer. Larger solvent accessible surface area (210.09 nm) and lower average interaction energy (-455.12 kJ/mol) enhanced the stability and solubility of capsaicin. Overall, CE-NADES could serve as an industrialized and green alternative method for the efficient extraction of capsaicin.

Capsicum oleoresin (CO) is a concentrated extract derived from peppers ( L.) containing capsaicin (the active compound responsible for its pungency) and other bioactive components. The present study aimed to determine whether CO affects the energy expenditure and mitochondrial content of brown adipose tissue (BAT) in diet-induced obese mice.

Neuropathic pain (NP) is a chronic condition caused by abnormal neuronal excitability in the nervous system. Current treatments for NP are often ineffective or poorly tolerated. Hence, we reviewed the efficacy and safety of novel drugs or devices that target neuronal excitability in NP patients compared with placebo, sham, or usual care interventions.

The effect of solvents with different polarities on the recovery of phytochemicals (carotenoids, capsaicinoids, and phenolic compounds) from habanero pepper (Capsicum chinense) and their association with antioxidant activity (ABTS and DPPH) was evaluated through Ultra-Performance-Liquid Chromatography coupled with a Photodiode Array Detector and a Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry (UPLC-PDA-ESI-MS)-based chemometric analysis, including linear correlation, multiple linear regression, and principal component analysis (PCA). The solvent polarity scale was established according to solvent dielectric constants (ɛ). Color variation (ΔE) was used to determine the presence of carotenoids, with the highest ΔE obtained using low-polarity solvents (hexane and ethyl acetate).
