Scoville Units measure the amount of capsaicin (the chemical that provides the heat) in a chilli. Although subjective, to achieve a rating, it takes three out of five people to taste the heat in a diluted solution of alcohol and sugar water. The ratio of dilution is the Scoville Unit. For example, the Chiltepin is usually detected by 60 percent of the testers when diluted at a ratio of 1 part to 50,000 parts solution (1:50,000 and up to 1:100,000). What happens to the results after the alcohol & endorphins kick in is anyone's guess!
