Abstract

A simple colorimetric method involving sodium tungstate- phosphomolybdic acid
reagent is described for determining the pungency, due to capsaicin present in
oleoresin of chilli fruits. Capsaicin concentration of some locally available chilli
fruits and its pericarp, after removal of seed were determined with reference to
a calibration graph. Oleoresin nitrogen concentrations of some samples were also
determined by conventional Kjeldahl's method and converted to capsaicin by
suitable multiplication factor. The results are compared and discussed
