    This document summarizes the development of a test strip called the ChilliPot-Scoville Meter that uses cyclic voltammetry to measure the capsaicin levels in chilli peppers and provide an immediate read-out of the Scoville heat units. It discusses how the technology was inspired by glucose home monitoring strips and aims to offer low-cost, easy-to-use point-of-need testing for the food industry to measure the hotness of chillies and chilli products. The document outlines the scientific principles behind the sensor and its validation process testing various chilli matrices to convert the electrochemical signal to a user-friendly Scoville score.

    Time for practical
    • ONE - Take buffer solution and record a
    cyclic voltammogram.
    • TWO - To the solution add in a small
    amount of chilli sauce.
    • THREE – Compare the two CVs.
    • FOUR – Add in a bit more chilli sauce.
    • FIVE – Overlay all the CVs, do the CVs
    increase or decrease with chilli sauce.
    • SIX – Run the ChilliPot – Scoville Meter ☺
