Hot Sauce - PUNGENCY SCOVILLE UNITS

This hot sauce test is named after Mr. Wilbur Scoville who invented in 1912 an easy method to measure the levels of Capsaicin in the hot peppers. This invention was the result of the development studies for the preparation a muscle ointment named HEET, which contains this chemical agent who gives the heat to the hot peppers. The pungency of chile peppers is measured in multiples of 100 units, from the bell peppers at zero Scoville units to the incendiary Habanero at 300,000 Scoville units. This substance makes a chile so hot! Pure Capsaicin rates over 15,000,000 Scoville Units. At present time the most advanced way to measure the heat is the HPCL or High Performance Liquid Chromatography, which is expressed in Scoville Units, too. In this procedure, chile pods are dried, then ground. Next, the chemicals responsible for the pungency are extracted, and the extract is injected into the HPLC for analysis. This method is more expensive than the previous, but it allows to determinate the amount of individual capsaicinoids. The NMSU Chile Breeding and Genetics Program have analyzed more than 1,400 samples using this method and have found that it´s very reliable and safe.

UNIDADES SCOVILLE DE PICOR en las Salsas Picantes

La escala Scoville mide el grado de picor o calor de los chiles. Esta escala fue desarrollada por Wilbur Scoville en 1912. Es una manera de medir los niveles de "capsaicin" en los chiles y normalmente esto se hace con un Cromatógrafo y untando en los chiles un aceite denominado HEET. El capsaicin puro mide 15 millones de unidades Scoville. A continuación algunos ejemplos de chiles y su picor en unidades de acuerdo a la Escala Scoville:

Chile Habanero - 100,000 > 350,000
Chile Chiltepin - 50,000 > 100,000
Chile Piquin o Pequin - 15,000 > 50,000
