| Abstract/Description: | Dalle Khorsani (Capsicum annum var. cerasiforme) is one of the valuable cash crops of Sikkim. The crop is grown all over Sikkim since it is valued for its diverse commercial uses. The crop belongs to the family Solanaceae and genus Capsicum. Dalle khorsani of Sikkim is a pungent chilli but has more medicinal properties and it is used for making pickle, paste, powder and dry chilli (for pickling, chilli can be picked either at green or ripe stage). Dalle chilli contains capsaicin which produces different pungency levels as well as carotenoids and phenolic compounds and is being used as natural pigment and antioxidantagents. However, the Scoville scale indicates that its pungency is very high and rated in the range of 100,000 to 350 000 SHU (Scoville Heat units) quite similar to the SHU of Habanero chilieS. |
