A fused-core Kinetex TM C18 column (50 × 2.1 mm i.d.; 2.6 μm) was used for the analysis. The chromatographic separation was obtained with a gradient method in which the mobile phase was water (0.1% acetic acid) as solvent A and acetonitrile (0.1% acetic acid) as solvent B. The separation of all compounds was achieved in less than 3 minutes with a total analysis time (sample-to-sample) of 10 minutes. The robustness of the method was evaluated. The method showed excellent repeatability and intermediate precision expressed as coefficient of variance of less than 2%. The developed method was employed for the quantification of the major capsaicinoids present in different peppers and commercial products containing chilli peppers.}, publisher = {Elsevier}, keywords = {Capsaicinoids}, keywords = {Capsicum chinense}, keywords = {fused-core columns}, keywords = {HPLC}, keywords = {Naga Jolokia}, keywords = {peppers}, title = {Fast analysis of capsaicinoids in Naga Jolokia extracts (Capsicum chinense) by high-performance liquid chromatography using fused core columns}, doi = {10.1016/j.foodchem.2017.06.098}, author = {Stipcovich, Tea and Fernández Barbero, Gerardo and Ferreiro González, Marta and Palma Lovillo, Miguel and García Barroso, Carmelo}, }
