Chilli also called “ Naga Mircha” belongs to the genus capsicum of
Solanaceae or nightshade Family. Naga chilli is considered as world’s
hottest Chilli and entered in “Guiness Book of World Records” ( measuring
855, 000 scoville units) beating the “Mexican red savanna habaneros”
(577, 000 scoville units).
Traditionally, chilli is being grown for green fruits
during summer months in the upland jhum paddy fields. The plant grows
at the height of 120 cms bearing 150 fruits. The flowers are white,
2-3 at a node, and fruits are blood red in colour, conical measures
about 2 inches in length and half-inch width.Many genotypes are reported
and research is on for production as well as disease management.
The
Hot Flavor of chillies is due presence of a group of seven closely
related compounds called capsainoids, but capsaicin
(8-methyl-Nvanillyl-6-nonenamide) and dihydrocapsaicin are responsible
for Approximately 90% of the pungency.
