I received the following message and I'm hoping that among the zillion
of chileheads one of you can help answer the question. Aside from
Scoville Units and Liquid Chromatology and taste testing is there
another way to measure the heat of chile...something simple that high
school students could use? Thanks much.Chile cheers! Sunny

We are high school students doing a study on capsicum chinense (var.
Jamaccan  red)  we genetically modified the plant and we would like to
know how to prove that the pepper is now hotter than before. Is there
any information you  could give us to help us do this. We are at a loss
right now, and have no  clue how to measure the heat.  thank you for
your help.
