Abstract
Clothes from an assault case were recently submitted to our laboratory in order to determine if the suspect had been sprayed with Halt! Dog Repellent. The three major capsaicinoids of the Capsicum species, caps aicin, dihydrocapsaicin and nordihydrocapsaicin were extracted and ide ntified using GC/MS. The spectra compared favorably with the remaining repellent in the can and cited literature values.
