Abstract

ABSTRACTSensory evaluation of isolated natural capsaicinoids showed that there was a significant linear relationship between pungency and concentration. Detection thresholds were evaluated using an ASTM method. Pungency thresholds were calculated using the established relationships between pungency and concentration of individual compounds. Total pungency of a mixture of capsaicinoids was highly correlated with the sum of pungencies of individual capsaicinoids. Determination of the total pungency of Capsicum extracts can be accomplished by adding the pungencies of individual capsaicinoids upon multiplication of their pungency threshold values by their respective concentrations.
