Abstract

An alternate solvent namely acetone has been proved effective for the determination of capsaicin content in chillies. Considering its less toxicity and easy to procure compared to methanol or rectified spirit, it can be used as the solvent for the determination of capsaicin content in chillies. The HPLC method adopted for the estimation of capsaicin content has been validated for specificity, linearity, recovery etc.
