The chart below shows the relative heat value in Scoville Heat Units (SHU), named In honor of Dr. Wilbur L. Scoville, for many famous and internationally known brands of hot sauces. The substance that makes hot sauce so pungent is a group of chemicals called Capsaicinoids.
The Scoville scale is the measurement of the pungency ( spicy heat) of chili peppers or other spicy foods reported in Scoville heat units (SHU), a function of capsaicin concentration. The scale is named after its creator, American pharmacist Wilbur Scoville. His method, devised in 1912, is known as the Scoville Organoleptic Test.
