ANALYSIS OF THE PUNGENT PRINCIPLES OF Capsicum annuum BY COMBINED GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY‐MASS SPECTROMETRY

Abstract
SUMMARY— The pungent principles of Capsicum annuum includes at least five closely related compounds. Four of these pungent compounds‐capsaicin, dihydrocapsaicin, nordihydrocapsaicin and homodihydrocapsaicin‐were separated by gas chromatography with a 3% SE‐30 column and identified by combined gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry. Separation of these compounds into oleoresin capsicum by gas chromatography is also reported.
