The capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin in pot-stewed duck products were extracted by using ultrasonic-assisted method, and the effect of solvent types, duck meat/solvent ratio, ultrasonic time and frequency, and extraction times on the yield of capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin was investigated to optimize the pretreatment conditions of HPLC method for the pungency analysis. The pretreatment conditions with 60% of ethanol solution, duck meat/ethanol solution ratio with 1:30 g/mL, 20 min and 25 + 40 KHz of double frequency ultrasonic conditions, and ...
