Capsaicin content measuring device in red pepper powder

摘要

The present invention relates to an apparatus for measuring the mapiness of red pepper, and more particularly, to an apparatus and method for measuring the mapiness of red pepper that can easily and precisely measure the mapiness of red pepper, wherein the capsaicin extract extracted from red pepper powder is injected 1 electrochemical measurement cell and a second electrochemical measurement cell; a multiplexer electrically connected to a selected one of the first electrochemical measurement cell and the second electrochemical measurement cell; a potentiometer for applying a voltage to the first electrochemical measuring cell or the second electrochemical measuring cell through the multiplexer by a cyclic voltammetry and measuring an oxidation current value; By controlling the potentiometer and the multiplexer, the potentiometer and the first electrochemical measuring cell and the second electrochemical measuring cell are sequentially electrically connected, and the first electrochemical measuring cell inputted through the potentiometer and a control unit configured to measure the first capsaicin content and the second capsaicin content based on the oxidation current value according to the voltage applied to the second electrochemical measuring cell.
