How Hot is That Hot Sauce? Breakthrough Technology Can Tell You in Seconds

[@nitramdmij]

Great video, Rob! While a little too expensive for my use, this sounds like a great product. It is great to nerd out on this and I look forward to seeing your next videos in this series! Great to have you back!

[@simonhenry3815]

Great to see you back in the swing of things Rob, can't wait for spring to come for you guys up there!

[@7PotClub]

Hi Simon! Spring is slow to arrive here, but it's coming

[@DopamineNation42]

Hi Rob! Good to see you back!

[@7PotClub]

Thanks! Good to be back

[@mutantryeff]

That's one hot technology

[@zimmerpeacock9703]

Great Rob, and thank you

[@7PotClub]

My pleasure

Very convenient, but what about capsaicinoids other than capsaicin (like dihydrocapsaicin), that contribute to heat?

[@ti-brindesbois5408]

I was thinking the same thing. The other capsaicinoids play a lot on the burning sensation in the mouth, throat, stomach, etc.

[@PeppersnGlowworms]

@@ti-brindesbois5408 "etc."...

[@ti-brindesbois5408]

@@PeppersnGlowworms "etc" is a little deeper than the stomach.

Great video Rob, Thanks!

Electrochemistry can never provide the same level of specificity as HPLC. It would be interesting to see what sample interferences can cause false high or low measurements.

[@acetophenone820]

The fact that it even gets the order of magnitude correct is extremely exciting!

[@DonPandemoniac]

Very interesting stuff, thanks!

[@Mrdesidownunder]

Amazing video with lots of new information. Thanks for sharing.

[@7PotClub]

Thanks Ravi!

[@nicholaskunzweiler9067]

Yo! Capsicum companion here! Love new videos! Thanks Rob! 🌶🧡

[@7PotClub]

Thanks for watching, Nicholas!

[@phillipemery5199]

I ❤ how she says pipettes 😂. Great technology for the chili community. ThanksRob!

[@camerafusion]

Always look forward to your videos!

[@iAmNovaFilms]

The ragtime song was badass

[@7PotClub]

Thanks! You're the first to mention it

[@iAmNovaFilms]

@@7PotClub Of course! From a music major who loves extremely spicy peppers, your channel is perfect

[@Zephyrus9to7]

I wonder what the change in barometric pressure might have done to the sauce. Given its travel. Is it possible it weakened the units measured? Challenge experiment! Test the same bottle before and after traveling at various altitudes. Perhaps the chemical is pushed back into mashed vegetables and is harder to read after barometric pressure is applied?

[@phillipemery5199]

Nice thought.....has my hamster running.

[@bullseyesnbrewskis6601]

Great content! Actually watched this one twice 😁 can’t wait for the next one 🌶️

[@7PotClub]

Thanks, especially for the second watch!

[@hollyjhj3732]

Great video. I would love to have a consumer product, and I wish I'd known about the first Kiskstarter. Hoping this is on the commercial market soon.

[@Ostlord]

Wait a second! This lab isnt too far away from where I live! Maybe I can raid their lab for the hot sauces 👀😝

[@Mfrost6954]

nice video! :) Hopefully they have a consumer product in the future :)

[@mutantryeff]

I haven't grown enough peppers since my son went off to college (BA and MA in Math) to warrant purchasing a home unit. If I ever ramped up production for local sales of fresh peppers, I might consider paying up to $2000 for a home unit.

[@7PotClub]

I think they hope to bring it < $1000 for a home version.

[@herewardthewatchful1014]

As a pepper nerd myself, I don't believe any mechanical contraption can truly measure the effects (and after effects) of capsaicin. Certain heat and other profiles/qualities are immeasurable.

[@at8121]

I would for sure buy one...but not one that is "that" expensive.

[@eviloracle]

totally cool. never heard of this.

[@mikeschaoticgardening]

Awesome!

[@7PotClub]

Thanks Mike!

[@iamGrowing]

Nice technology. This would be perfect for a company that makes hot sauces. I only grow a few peppers plants per year so wouldn’t make sense to use this.

[@miguelmp289]

Hola, soy un admirador, ¿puede usted recomendarme un buen sitio donde comprar semillas online?

[@7PotClub]

Hello! Try mattspeppers.com

[@Zephyrus9to7]

That’s awesome!

[@noellesteegs3543]

All I want for Christmaaaaas. ☺️

[@garys6583]

Great video and info

[@7PotClub]

Thanks Gary!

[@BlackJesus8463]

I would buy it if I made sauces for a living! Too bad superhots taste worse than 4$$ tho! 😂😂✌

[@Sandiaseed]

EEENteresting!! Sounds like a cool tool. I also like to use my tongue. :)

[@mutantryeff]

@10:50 isn't that a 1:10 ratio? Wasn't it 10ml to 100ml?

[@7PotClub]

No, it's 10 ml to 100 µL (microliter). 10 ml = 10000 µL.

[@mutantryeff]

@@7PotClub Thanks for the quick clarification.

[@nSikandar]

I thought Scoville was supposed to be a subjective measure from the outset.

[@7PotClub]

Yes, definitely subjective. But it was the best they could do at the time. I'm working on a new video with more info about this.

[@justadrummer1954]

It's witchcraft, I tell you, Witchcraft!

[@thepineappler3370]

That machine is very inaccurate. It tested Tabasco hotter than Troy's Primonition..lol

[@EmptyTheaterMask]

all that plus e-coli detection? pretty cool...
