What is the unit of measurement of Scovy, and what does 500,000 Scovy mean?

At first glance, you will know that you are from Gaohe Middle School, and your surname is Chen.

As soon as you look at it, you know that you just watched the fifth episode of China on the tip of your tongue haha.

Transliteration bias...

The Scoville Scale (or Scoville Heat Unit, abbreviated as SHU) is a unit formulated by the American chemist Scoville in 1912 to measure the spiciness of Capsicum Genus fruits.

Scoville devised a set of experimental methods called the Scoville Organoleptic Test to measure capsaicin content. In this method, one unit of capsaicin is dissolved into sugar water, and then given to several people to taste, and then gradually increased the amount of sugar until the spicy taste can no longer be tasted, at which point the sum of the sugar amount is the Scoville spiciness unit (shu) of the analyte. For example, bell peppers do not have a spicy taste when eaten raw, so shu is 0; The shu of allspice is between 100 and 500, and one unit of allspice requires 100 500 times more sugar water to neutralize it.

The substance with the highest SHU value is capsaicin, around 15,000,000 to 16,000,000.

Because this experimental method is greatly influenced by human subjectivity, a method called "high performance liquid chromatography" was developed to measure it. However, due to the long-term use of the Scoville indicator, the measured value of HPLC is still often converted to shu to represent the capsaicin content.

The Scoville Scale (or Scoville Heat Unit, abbreviated as SHU) is a unit formulated by the American chemist Scoville in 1912 to measure the spiciness of Capsicum Genus fruits. In other words, it takes 500,000 times more water to dilute the spiciness.

It takes 500,000 times more water to dilute the spiciness.

Cut. It takes 500,000 times more water to dilute the spiciness.

LZ and that big brother have seen a lot of China on the tip of their tongues.

Scovy is a spicy unit.

It is said that the spicy unit also has a unit called Scowell.

It should be transliterated: |

There is a restaurant in the UK that says that it is a hamburger that is millions, and after Scovy eats it, some go straight to the hospital for esophagitis....Anti-wolf spray is 5 million.

It should be the frequency of stabbing or how much per square meter....

In order to uniformly evaluate the spiciness of chili peppers. American scientist Wilbur LScoville) in 1912 when the first judgment pepper was formulated.

The unit of spiciness, that is, after grinding the pepper, dilute it with sugar water until the spiciness, at this time, the dilution factor represents the spiciness of the pepper, in honor of Scoville, so this spiciness standard is named the Scoville index, and the "Scoville index" (shu, scoville heat unit) has become the unit of spiciness. Today, Scowell's method of judging spiciness has been replaced by instrumental quantitative analysis, but his system of units has been retained. When it comes to peppers, just look at their Scoville index.

High spicy peppers.

Unit : Scoville.

1. Yellow devil chili: 750,000 degrees.

2. Central and South American chocolate devil pepper: 920,000 degrees.

3. Indian devil pepper: 1.01 million degrees.

4. Trinidad chili: 1.48 million degrees.

5. Yin and Yang Poisonous Scorpion King Ghost Pepper: 1.66 million degrees.

Comparison: The spicy degree of Chaotian pepper that is generally eaten is about 30,000).

Tip: Rinse your mouth with sugar cubes and water and spit it out, repeat it several times to achieve the anti-spicy effect.

Because the capsaicin of chili pepper can be dissolved in alcohol, rinsing your mouth with edible alcohol or high liquor can achieve the effect of relieving spiciness.

Spiciness indicates the degree of pungency of chili, shallots, garlic, ginger, etc. The unit used to indicate spiciness is the Scoville unit
