Furthermore, organic turmeric powder manufacturers must adhere to strict food safety standards to ensure that their products are free from contaminants and pathogens. This includes proper handling, storage, and packaging of the turmeric powder to prevent contamination.

The Scoville Scale was developed in 1912 by Wilbur Scoville, a pharmacist from the United States. To determine the SHU, an exact weight of hot pepper is dissolved in alcohol to extract the capsaicinoids components. These components are then diluted in a solution of sugar water and decreasing concentrations are given to a panel of trained tasters until a majority can no longer detect them in a diluted form. The heat level is then rated based on this dilution in multiples of 100 SHU. This system was initially purely organoleptic but nowadays is measured using HPLC (high-performance liquid chromatography) to prevent any deviation from sensory fatigue or the chosen panel´s resistance.

Paprika and bell peppers belong to the same family of plants, but they have distinct physical characteristics that set them apart. Here are some of the key differences:

The taste and flavor profile of red paprika is very different from that of red chili powder. Red chili powder has an earthy and pungent taste. It is rarely used alone, but added to other spices and condiments in any dish. Depending on the kind of red chili powder used, it brings some degree of heat to the food.

Overall, paprika is a versatile spice that can be used in many dishes to add color and flavor. The different types of paprika offer a range of taste profiles, from sweet and fruity to smoky and spicy.
