Abstract
A color sensor has been designed to measure the capsaicin
level in commercial sauces. This system is designed using a TCS2300 color sensor as an input, and an Arduino Uno
microcontroller with Integrated Development Environment (IDE) software as
signal conditioning and signal processing. The measurement result will be
compared to the standard Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometer method.
The sauce samples were taken using a sampling technique, namely eight samples
of sauces circulating in the city of Banda Aceh. The result showed that the
levels of capsaicin using the TCS3200 color sensor
and UV-Vis spectrophotometer ranged from 5.39 to 22.42 mg/L and 5.58 to 22.64
mg/L, respectively. The linearity obtained in the concentration range of 5.25
mg/L shows a linear calibration curve using the TCS3200 color sensor (R2 = 0.9961) and UV-Vis Spectrophotometer (R2 =
0.9973). Accuracy (% recovery) for the TCS3200 color sensor and UV-Vis spectrophotometer ranged from 98.94 to 106.63%, and 98.13 to
110.2% mg/L, respectively. In the case of interday and intraday relative standard deviation has not more than 2%. Based on the
t-test assessment, it shows that the TCS3200 color sensor has no differences statistically in results with UV-Vis
Spectrophotometer. These results describe that the TCS3200 color sensor can be an alternative for analyses of capsaicin in sauce samples.

Abstrak
Satu penderia warna telah dibangunkan untuk mengukur kandungan kapsaisin dalam sos komersial. Sistem ini direka menggunakan penderia warna TCS2300 sebagai input, dan Arduino Uno mikropengawal dengan perisian Persekitaran Pembangunan Bersepadu (IDE) sebagai isyarat kawalan dan pemprosesan. Keputusan
pengukuran dibandingkan dengan kaedah
piawai spektrofotometer Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis). Sampel dikumpulkan dengan
menggunakan teknik pensampelan yang melibatkan lapan sampel sos dari Banda
Aceh-Indonesia. Kepekatan kapsaisin yang diukur menggunakan penderia warna
TCS3200 dan spektrofotometer UV-Vis masing-masing dalam julat berjulat dinamik
dari 5.39 hingga 22.42 mg/L dan 5.58 hingga 22.64 mg/L. Kelinearan diperoleh
dalam julat kepekatan 5.25 mg/L, menunjukkan hubungan linear yang bagi
kedua-duanya, penderia warna TCS3200 (R2=0.9961) dan
Spektrofotometer UV-Vis (R2=0.9973). Ketepatan dinyatakan sebagai %
hasil berada antara 98.94 hingga 106.63% untuk penderia warna TCS3200 dan 98.13
hingga 110.2% mg/L untuk UV-Vis. Kedua-dua sisihan piawai relatif antara hari
dan intrahari adalah di bawah 2%. Analisis ujian-t mengesahkan bahawa tiada
perbezaan statistik yang signifikan antara kedua-dua kaedah tersebut. Keputusan
ini menunjukkan bahawa penderia warna TCS3200 mampu menjadi kaedah alternatif
yang berdaya maju untuk menganalisis kapsaisin dalam sampel sos.
