DEFINITION ASSAY Capsicum Oleoresin is an alcoholic extract of the dried ripe · CONTENT OF TOTAL CAPSAICINOIDS fruits of Capsicum. It contains NLT 6.5% of total Mobile phase: A mixture of acetonitrile and diluted capsaicinoids, calculated as the sum of capsaicin, phosphoric acid (1 in 1000) (2:3) dihydrocapsaicin, nordihydrocapsaicin, nonivamide, Standard solution A: 0.2 mg/mL of USP Capsaicin RS in decanylvanillinamide, and homocapsaicin, all calculated on methanol the anhydrous basis. The nonivamide content is NMT 5% of Standard solution B: 0.1 mg/mL of USP the total capsaicinoids, calculated on the anhydrous basis. Dihydrocapsaicin RS in methanol [CAUTIONÐCapsicum Oleoresin is a powerful irritant, and Sample solution: 5 mg/mL of Capsicum Oleoresin in even in minute quantities produces an intense burning methanol. Pass a portion of this solution through a filter of sensation when it comes in contact with the eyes and 0.2-µm pore size, and use the filtrate as the Sample solution. tender parts of the skin.
