Scoville Scale is a method of finding the heat of the chilli. This method was invented by a chemist, Wilbur Scoville in 1912. This is a subjective test where the capsaicin extracted from chilli is soaked in alcohol. The soaked extract is later mixed with sweetened water and given to the human tasters to determine if there is pungency in the chilli. Pure capsaicin scales 16,000,000 Scoville units.
