Scoville eskala

Scoville eskala piperren mina neurtzen duen eskala bat da, Scoville Min-Unitateetan (SHU, ingelesez Scoville Heat Unity) erregistratzen duena, zeinak kapsaizinoideen kontzentrazio neurtzen duen, horien artean kapsaizina izanik osagai nagusia^[2].

Eskalak bere sortzailearen izena darama, Wilbur Scoville farmazialari estatubatuarrarena, zeinaren 1912ko metodoa “Scovilleren froga organoleptikoa” bezala ezagutzen den ^[2]^[3]. Scovilleren proba organoleptikoa ebaluazio subjektibo bat da, piper minak jatera ohituta daudenen sentikortasunetik eratorria.

Metodo alternatibo bat, “eraginkortasun handiko kromatografia likidoa” (HPLC, High-performance liquid chromatography), kapsaizinoideen edukia analitikoki kuantifikatzeko erabil daiteke, min-adierazle gisa. 2011tik aurrera, proba organoleptiko subjektiboak bertan behera uzten joan dira, HPLC bezalako metodo analitikoak erabiltzeko asmoz.

Eskala

Capsicum piperminak mundu osoko sukaldeetan pikantea jartzeko erabiltzen dira. Scoville eskalak adierazten duen pikante maila tartea 500 SHU unitatetik (piper gozoak) 1,5 milioi baino gehiagora doaz (pipermin oso minak). Piper batzuk ez dira ageri, SHU kopuru zabala baitute.
