Katokkon chili is a type of local chili from Toraja, South Sulawesi, Indonesia, which has a unique character, both in shape and spicy taste. This research will reveal the bioactive compounds in three Katokkon chilies' landraces: Limbong Sampolo Sampolo, Leatung 1, and Leatung 2. Dissolved and undissolved bioactive compounds were identified using the gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method. The findings were that these three Katokkon chili landraces had different bioactive compound compositions. However, the Limbong Sampolo Sampolo landrace has the most bioactive compounds, namely 58 types, compared to the Leatung landraces 1 (36 compounds) and 2 (32 compounds). The most soluble bioactive compound in the Limbong Sampolo Sampolo landrace is n-hexadecanoic acid, while in the Leatung 1 and 2 landraces, it is capsaicin. Then, the insoluble bioactive compounds were dominated. © 2025, Centenary University. All rights reserved.
