Grading method for piquancy degree of spicy hot pot base flavoring or soup base, and piquancy degree determining method for soup base

Abstract

The invention provides a grading method for piquancy degree of a spicy hot pot basic flavoring or a soup base, which comprises the steps of: determining a capsaicin content X; converting the capsaicin content X into a Scoville piquancy degree SHU; converting the Scoville piquancy degree SHU into a Li's piquancy degree LHU, wherein the conversion formula is as the follow: LHU is equal to SHU divided by K, K is the Li's piquancy degree, and K is more than or equal to 22.4 and less than or equal to 5600; and grading, wherein the piquancy degree is low if LHU is more than or equal to 8960 / K and less than or equal to 11520 / K; the piquancy degree is medium, if LHU is more than or equal to 11520 / K and less than or equal to 14720 / K; the piquancy degree is high, if LHU is more than or equal to 14720 / K and less than or equal to 18880 / K; and the piquancy degree is ultra high, if LHU is more than or equal to 18880 / K and less than or equal to 22400 / K. The determining method for the soup base comprises the steps of: starting timing when the soup base is boiled to the boiling state, taking out oil in soup base as samples at different moments successively during a period of time, determining the capsaicin content of each sample, selecting a maximum value, and converting the value into the Li's piquancy degree LHU, which means the piquancy degree of the soup base. The methods of the invention can characterize the piquancy degree of the base flavoring or the piquancy degree of the soup base, are easily acceptable, and unify the perception of the piquancy degree, thereby enabling the selection of favor according to the piquancy degree, and preventing the occurrence of complaints.
