Methods: NaOH solution for coarse extract, extract treated with chitosan adsorption resin column, eluting with ethanol to be capsaicin solution, re-crystallization to be light yellow needle-like crystals of capsaicin. Using vanillin - Colorimetric determination of capsaicin content of sodium nitrite. Results: The extract obtained from dried hot pepper capsaicin yield of 0.38%, capsaicin crystal purity of 91.20%. Conclusion: This method extract the capsaicin, method is simple, low cost, high yield and purity, the results are less satisfactory. [Keywords:] Determination of extraction and purification of capsaicin Abstract: Objective To extract and determinate capsaicinoid from capsicum with chitosan resin.Method Capsaicinoid was separated by means of 1% NaOH extracting initially.After degreasing, the capsaicinoid in extraction was absorped by chitosan resin and then eluted by ethanol.A straw yellow crystal of capsaicinoid was isolated from recrystallization.The crystal capsaicinoid was determinated by vanitlin-sodium nitrite colorimetry.Results Capsaicinoid was extracted and purified.The yield was 0.38% and the purity of crystal was 91.20%. Conclusion The method was not only simple in process, but also high in yield and purity at low cost.It could be used for industrial production. Keywords:: capsaicinoid; extraction; purifying; determination Capsaicin (Capsaicinoid) is a spicy flavor from the pepper has caused the main chemical substances, is a phenolic hydroxyl group alkaloids, also known as capsaicin. Natural capsaicin is 6 (with a few pepper varieties, 7 species) a mixture of alkaloids, namely capsaicin, dihydro capsaicin, high-dihydro capsaicin, descending dihydro capsaicin,
