I-Capsaicin (ebizwa ngokuthi "i-cap-SAY-a-sin") iyimithi yamakhemikhali e-pepper ewenza ukuba ibe namafutha. Ngokuqondile, i-capsaicin ivela ezitshalweni zezitshalo emndenini waseCapsicum, kuhlanganise ne- jalapeño pepper , i-pepper ya-cayenne, nezinye izipelepele.
Ukulinganisa i-Capsaicin
I-Capsaicin e-pepper isilwane ilinganiswa nge- Scoville Scale futhi iboniswe ngokwe-Scoville Heat Units (SHU). I-SHU iyindlela yokuchaza ukuthi zingakanani amathonsi amanzi ashukela adingekayo ukuze ahlaziye ukushisa kwanoma yikuphi upelepele onikeziwe.
Amayunithi alinganiswa ezinkulungwaneni zamaphilisi amancane futhi ububanzi buya phambili kuze kube ngamakhulu ezinkulungwane ngisho nezigidi zepelepele ezishisa kakhulu. Indlela yamanzi ushukela yayiyi-subjective futhi ayithembeki kakhulu futhi isuselwe esikhundleni yi-High-Performance Liquid Chromatography. Lena indlela efunda ngempela iminwe yeminwe yamakhemikhali ye-capsaicin ku-pepper futhi iyakwazi ukukala ngokuqondile ukuthi i-capsaicin engakanani iqukethe i-pepper.
I-pepper ye-Bell iyilungu elilodwa lomkhaya we-capsicum ongenayo i-capsaicin, futhi ngaleyo ndlela ubhalise amayunithi amaningi e-Scoville.
Ukuhlala Uphephile Nge-Capsaicin
Ngaphandle kokuba ngumthombo wokushisa, noma i-pungency, ku-pepper, isicsaicin izobangela ukuzwa okuvutha kunoma iyiphi ingxenye yesikhumba noma ezinye izicubu ezixhumana nabo. Ngakho-ke, lapho umpheki esebenza nge-pepper esisikiwe, i-capsaicin esesandleni sayo ingashisa amehlo abo uma igaxa.
I-membrane emhlophe ngaphakathi kwe-pepper iqukethe i-capsaicin kakhulu, futhi inyama yangempela ye-pepper iqukethe kancane.
Imbewu ye-pepper ayiqukethe noma iyiphi i-capsaicin nhlobo. Uma upheka nge-pepper eshisayo, kungaba usizo ukugqoka amagilavu eplastiki ukuvikela izandla zakho nokuvimbela ukuthinta ezinye izingxenye zomzimba ezibucayi. Qinisekisa ukuthi ugeza yonke imimese, amabhodi wokusika, noma ezinye izinsimbi zokupheka eziye zahlangana ne-pepper eshisayo, ngoba lezi zingakwazi ukudlulisela i-capsaicin kwezinye ukudla noma amathuluzi.
Ukususa I-Capsaicin Heat
I-Capsaicin iyinhlanganisela efana namafutha ngomqondo wokuthi ibuyelela amanzi. Ngakho-ke, ukuphuza amanzi ukunciphisa ukushiswa okubangelwa ukudla i-chilis akuyona into ephumelelayo kakhulu, ngaphandle komphumela wokupholisa uma amanzi ebanda. I-Capsaicin isuke isetshenziswe ngobisi nokuphuza utshwala, noma kunjalo. Ngakho-ke, ubisi olubandayo, noma kancane, isiphuzo esidayayo, singanciphisa umuzwa ovuthayo ovela ku-capsaicin. Ngaphandle kobisi, eminye imikhiqizo yobisi efana ne-yogurt noma ukhilimu omuncu kuyosiza ukupholisa ukushisa emgqonyeni oshisayo.
Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi nakuba zonke izilwane ezincelisayo zizwela nge-capsaicin, okwenza zingenakwenzeka ezinogwaja nakwezinye izinambuzane zasezinsizeni ezinjalo, izinyoni zivikelekile emiphumeleni yayo. Uma ukhula pepper eshisayo endlini yakho yasekhaya, ungase ubone izinyoni zidla izipelepele zakho, kodwa ezinye izilwane zizozigwema.
Okunye ukusetshenziswa kwe-Capcaisin
I-Capsaicin ingashukumisa futhi ukukhiqizwa kwe-endorphins, yingakho abanye abantu bebika ukuthi banomqondo wokujabula lapho bedla ukudla okunezinongo.
I-Capsaicin inezinhlelo eziningi zezinhlelo ezingekho kocansi, kufaka phakathi ukuhlenga ubuhlungu futhi njengesithako esisebenzayo se-pepper spray. Uma unesithakazelo ezintweni zezempilo ze-capsaicin, kungcono ngaso sonke isikhathi ukukhuluma nodokotela wakho, njengoba ezinye izipelepele ezishisayo zingase zidale nokuhlushwa, ukushaya isisu noma ezinye izinkinga zesisu.
