    Borrell’s article describes the study of chili peppers through the field studies of Joshua Tewksbury, an ecologist interested in finding the reason why chili peppers are spicy and if bugs can be blocked by chili peppers and in that way avoid fungus.

    This capsaicin project consisted of three stages to ensure proper and accurate analysis. The first stage was the preparation of the three samples for injection into the HPLC. One gram of fine powder of each pepper was obtained by first chopping up with a scissors into a mortar and freezing with liquid nitrogen and finally homogenizing with the pestle. Precisely as measured by the analytical balance, 1.014 g was obtained from the habanero, 1.015 g was obtained from the jalapeno and 1.0270 g was obtained from the red bell pepper. It was observed that the red bell pepper seemed to be significantly juicier from the other two peppers. This mass was put into test tubes and labeled A, B and C respectively. Using a graduated cylinder 10 mL of 60/40 water/ACN solution was added to each test tube which were vigorously shaken and placed in hot water bath <75˚C for no longer than 15 minutes. More shaking of the samples was done during the hot water bath. The three samples were allowed to cool to room temperature before filtering into auto sampler vials through a 0.45 micron syringe filter.…

    PEPPER FOR LOCAL ANESTHESIA

    • 3582 Words
    • 13 Pages

    The Problem and its Background Introduction Black pepper is a common name of the plant Piper nigrum that belongs to the family Solanaceae. It is one of the greatest spices ever available to man to the prehistoric times up to the present1. Black pepper, the dried unripe fruit, is just one of the products that can be derived from the berries of the plant. Black pepper has aromatic, slightly musty odor, spicy but not hot and has tangy flavors that stimulates the senses. For that reason, black pepper is well known throughout the world as a culinary spice and condiment. Like all eastern spices, pepper was historically both a seasoning and a medicine.2 Black peppercorns figure in remedies in Ayurveda, Siddha and Unani medicine in South Asia. The 5th century Syriac Book of Medicines prescribes pepper (or perhaps long pepper) for such illnesses as constipation, diarrhea, earache, gangrene, heart disease, hernia, hoarseness, indigestion, insect bites, insomnia, joint pain, liver problems, lung disease, oral abscesses, sunburn, tooth decay, and toothaches.3…
