Osunlaja 1Department of Chemistry, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Nigeria 2National Research Institute for Chemical Technology, Zaria, Nigeria 3Umar Suleiman College of Education, Gashua, Nigeria ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT The capsaicinoid profile of six different peppers sold in Nigerian markets was determined by Gas Chromatography- Mass Spectrometry. The capsaicinoids were extracted from the peppers using methanol as extractant and analyzed without need for derivatization. A total of eight (8) capsaicinoids were identified and quantitated: Capsaicin, Dihydrocapsaicin Dihydrocapsaicin 1, Dihydrocapsaicin 2, Norcapsaicin, Nordihydrocapsaicin 1, Nordihydrocapsaicin 2 and Nornordihydrocapsaicin though, not fully present in all the varieties. Dihydrocapsaicin 1, Dihydrocapsaicin 2, Nordihydrocapsaicin 1, Nordihydrocapsaicin 2 and Nornordihydrocapsaicin are isomers. Seven were identified in the Cameroun pepper variety, six in “Zaria atarugu” and Miango, and five in each of the remaining varieties. In all the peppers analyzed, capsaicin had the highest relative concentration, which ranged from 27.3% in the Cameroun variety to 49.38% in the “Zaria atarugu” variety. The sum of the relative concentrations of capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin ranged from 47.03% in the “Miango” variety to 87.3% in the “Zaria atarugu” variety.

The parameters studied are: extraction solvent (methanol, ethanol, acetone, ethyl acetate and water), temperature (50–200 ◦C), sample quantity (0.1–1 g), volume of solvent (15–50 mL) and the extraction time (5–20 min). The results found for the optimum conditions are: 125 ◦C as extraction temperature, 25 mL of solvent, 0.5 g of freshly triturated peppers and extraction for 5 min, employing 100% ethanol as solvent. The capsaicinoids obtained were stable under the optimised extraction conditions. The resulting method presents a high degree of reproducibility (R.S.D. < 6%). © 2006 Elsevier B.V.

The modified electrode was characterized for its surface morphology by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). An elemental analysis of prepared catalysts was confirmed by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The experimental conditions influencing determination of capsaicin were optimized. The experiment was carried out in a sodium acetate buffer solution pH 3.0 at a scan rate of 50 mV/s. The Sn/rGO/SPCE showed a linear working range of 0.2–22 µM of capsaicin concentrations. The limit of detection and limit of quantification were 0.005 µM (S/N=3) and 0.02 µM (S/N=10), respectively. The prepared electrode was successfully applied to determine capsaicin in real chili samples and chili sauces.
