The invention discloses a quantitative
analysis method for perceiving the
pungency degree of
spicy food and a standardized grading and
quality control method. Comprising the following steps: preparing reference
capsaicin standard solutions with different concentrations, evaluating the perceived
capsaicin concentration of the reference
capsaicin standard solutions, determining the
pungency degree value by using an instrument, drawing a
pungency degree perceived capsaicin concentration-pungency degree value determined
standard curve by using the instrument, and pretreating the
spicy food by using different pretreatment schemes according to types to obtain a sample solution to be detected. Measuring the pungency degree value of a sample solution to be measured by an instrument, substituting the pungency degree value into the
standard curve, and calculating to obtain the pungency degree sensing capsaicin concentration corresponding to the pungency degree value measured by the instrument of the sample solution to be measured. According to the method, subjective sensory evaluation is converted into reproducible
objective data by establishing a'sensory evaluation group calibration + instrument detection +
standard curve ', and the problems of detection
distortion, low detection efficiency and the like caused by high subjectivity of sensory evaluation, disjunction of instrument analysis and
human body perception and interference of different matrixes in an existing pungency degree evaluation method are solved.
