Application

This analytical standard was used as follows:
  • Determination of capsaicin in samples of chili pepper, black pepper powder, and chili pepper sauce by cyclic voltammetry using an office paper-based carbon black-screen printed electrode (CB-SPE)
  • Development of an electrochemical sensor based on Ag/Ag2O-loaded poly(sodium-4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) functionalized-reduced graphene oxide (rGO) composite (Ag/Ag2O-PSS-Rgo) to determine capsaicin in chili pepper samples
  • Multi-residue analysis of six capsaicinoids in green bell pepper samples using an online supercritical fluid extraction combined with reverse phase-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (RP-LC-MS/MS)
  • Evaluation of an immunoaffinity chromatography (IAC) based cleanup using polyclonal antibodies (pAb) for the determination of capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin in different types of vegetable oil samples by LC-MS/MS
  • Thin layer chromatographic (TLC) separation and determination of capsaicin in ethanolic extracts of Capsicum annum Linn

Biochem/physiol Actions

Prototype vanilloid receptor agonist. Neurotoxin; activates sensory neurons that give rise to unmyelinated C-fibers, many of which contain substance P. Topical application desensitizes the sensory nerve endings giving a paradoxical antinociceptive effect; systemic administration can be neurotoxic to capsaicin-sensitive cells, especially in newborn animals. Active component of chili peppers.
Prototype vanilloid receptor agonist; neurotoxin. Active component of chili peppers.

Features and Benefits

Superior quality of pure E-Capsaicin, with a guaranteed assay of =99.0% by HPLC.

Packaging

Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.

Questions

1–3 of 3 Questions  
  1. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

  2. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/449/386/product-dating-information-mk.pdf

  3. How much pungency for standard how to make standard solution

    1 answer
    1. Capsaicin analytical standard is highly soluble in many organic solvents, including DMSO, isopropanol, ethanol, and diethyl ether. The choice of solvent will depend on the analytical technique being used and the sample matrix. Please contact technical service if you need further assistance with your application.
