Capsaicin was converted into the corresponding glycoside when administered to cell suspension cultures of Coffea arabica cultured in a modified Murashige and Skoog's medium with 5 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 0.5 μM kinetin.The glucoside was identified as capsaicin-β-D-glucopyranoside by FAB-MS. 1H-NMR, and hydrolysis with α- and β-glucosidases.The pungency of the glucoside was approximately 1/100 of that of capsaicin.
