Somewhere (here) I was informed that there are four different identified
capsaician analogs that act on different parts of the mouth. That's why
there is so much difference in the type of heat between a tepin and a
jalapeno, and a jalapeno and a cayenne, and a cayenne and a habenero.
Maybe someone can illuminate this point.
Of course if this is true this means that when someone uses the alcohol
capsacian extraction technique in order to get pure cap the mixwill vary
just a tad depending on what the original pepper was.
