Several pepper germplasm in China were studied by HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography). Shuanla (Capsicum frutescens L. cv. Shuanlaense) was found in Capsaicin, Dihydrocapsaicin, Pungency (SHU) to be significantly higher than the others. We have identified that Shuanla is the hottest pepper variety in China.
