Capsaicinoids are responsible for the pungent flavor of peppers (Capsicum sp.). The cultivar CH-19 Sweet is a non-pungent pepper mutant that biosynthesizes the low-pungent capsaicinoid analogs, capsinoids. Capsinoids possess important pharmaceutical properties. However, capsinoid concentrations are very low in CH-19 Sweet, and Capsicum cultivars with high content capsinoids are desirable for industrial applications of capsinoids.

Habanero, Bhut Jolokia, and Infinity are species of Capsicum chinense, and have strong pungency and intense fruity flavors. In the present study, we report new cultivars with high concentrations of capsinoids (more than ten-fold higher than in CH-19 Sweet), and showed that these cultivars (Dieta0011-0301 and Dieta0011-0602 from Bhut Jolokia, Dieta0041-0401 and Dieta0041-0601 from Infinity) are of nutritional and medicinal value and have fruity aromas. We also obtained a vanilla bean flavor, vanillyl alcohol, and vanillyl ethyl ether from capsinoids in the fruit of these cultivars following the addition of ethanol at room temperature.

新开发的辣椒品种（Capsicum chinense）'Dieta0011-0301'，'Dieta0011-0602'，'Dieta0041-0401'和'Dieta0041-0601'的特征是含有高辣椒素浓度和强烈的果香。

辣椒素使辣椒具有刺激性（辣椒）。CH-19 Sweet品种是一种非辛辣的辣椒突变体，可生物合成低辛辣的辣椒素类似物辣椒素。辣椒素具有重要的药物特性。但是，CH-19 Sweet中的辣椒素浓度非常低，对于辣椒素的工业应用，具有高含量辣椒素的辣椒品种是理想的。

Habanero，Bhut Jolokia和Infinity是辣椒的种类，具有强烈的刺激性和强烈的果味。在本研究中，我们报道了新的辣椒素高浓度品种（比CH-19 Sweet高十倍以上），并显示了这些品种（来自Bhut Jolokia的Dieta0011-0301和Dieta0011-0602，Dieta0041-0401和Infinity的Dieta0041-0601具有营养和药用价值，并带有水果香气。在室温下添加乙醇后，我们还从这些品种的果实中的辣椒素中获得了香子兰香精，香兰醇和香兰醚。
