Product Overview

Slow-smoked Ghost-Chilli Powder, made from Assam–Nagaland Capsicum chinense ‘Bhut Jolokia’ (also called Naga chilli or Naga King Chili), delivers one-million-Scoville heat that lingers up to 30 minutes, plus fruity top notes and natural mesquite smoke complexity.

Botanical & Regional Info

Scientific name: Capsicum chinense Jacq. var. Bhut Jolokia

Common names: Ghost chilli (English), Bhut Jolokia (Assamese), Bhoot Jolokia (Hindi), ナーガジョロキア Nāga jorokia (Japanese), 고스트 칠리 Goseuteu chilli (Korean), 魔鬼辣椒 Móguǐ làjiāo (Chinese)

Country of origin: Assam & Nagaland, India

Grade: Food grade · Shade-dried, mesquite-smoked & 120-mesh milled, no carriers

Shelf life: 12–18 months – store sealed, < 25 °C, < 65 % RH

How to Use

Whisk 0.1 g powder into 250 ml salsa base to raise heat by ~100 000 SHU without diluting flavour.

Dust potato chips post-fryer at 0.03 % for a fiery “Reaper-level” snack with smoky undertone.

Blend 0.5 % into vegan mayo or ketchup; smoking notes replace liquid smoke, avoiding added moisture.

Add 0.8 g per litre of brine to craft extreme hot-sauce fermentation; fine grind disperses evenly.

Use 0.05 % in chocolate truffles for a controlled late-burn and savoury-sweet complexity.

Key Benefits

Delivers ≥ 1 000 000 Scoville units—five times hotter than habanero—at < 0.1 % inclusion.

Natural mesquite smoke profile eliminates need for artificial smoke flavour carriers.

Capsaicin + dihydrocapsaicin ~8 % of dry weight, supporting thermogenic and endorphin marketing.

Low-moisture (< 6 %) milling prevents caking; colour (ASTA ≈ 170) stable 12 months in foil pouches.

Microbiologically pasteurised (65 °C hot-air finish) while keeping volatile fruity esters.

How does smoked ghost-chilli powder differ from unsmoked Bhut Jolokia in flavour, heat and shelf life?

Traditional sun-dried ghost chilli retains the fruit-mango aroma but can taste grassy and loses red hue after six months. Our material undergoes a 4-hour mesquite smoke at 45 °C followed by 65 °C hot-air finish. Smoke phenols bind surface oils, deepening colour and adding bacon-like savoury notes without raising moisture. Capsaicinoid recovery is ≥ 95 % versus raw pods, delivering consistent one-million-SHU heat at < 0.1 % use. Smoke drying also lowers water activity to 0.22, extending shelf life beyond 18 months with no mould growth or rancid oil off-note—advantages sought by sauce makers exporting into humid climates.

Claim strength: Moderate.

Claim-strength scale – High = multiple human studies; Moderate = a few trials; Emerging = early lab data.

How much powder equals one whole fresh ghost chilli in recipe conversion?

Fresh Bhut Jolokia averages 8 g and 1 035 000 SHU. After drying there is ~12 % yield. One gram of our powder therefore equals ~8.3 g dried chilli or one entire fresh pod. Start at 0.4 g/kg for new recipes.

Claim strength: High.

Can extreme-heat consumers gain metabolic benefits from capsaicin in ghost-chilli powder?

Human crossover trials show 2 mg capsaicin increases post-meal thermogenesis 50 kcal and reduces energy intake 10 %. At 8 % capsaicinoids, a 25 mg pinch meets this dose—easy to incorporate in hot-sauce shots or capsules.

Claim strength: Emerging.

Where does ghost-chilli rank among the world’s hottest peppers?

Independent lab tests give Bhut Jolokia ≈ 1 million SHU. Pepper-industry rankings for 2025 list it #8 overall, still in the global top ten and hotter than habanero, 7-Pot and Scotch Bonnet varieties. Only cultivars such as Carolina Reaper, Trinidad Scorpion “Butch T” and Pepper X surpass it.

Claim strength: High.

What safety precautions should manufacturers observe when handling ghost-chilli powder?

Dust containing > 0.25 mg capsaicin · m⁻³ can irritate eyes and lungs. Operators should use FFP2 masks, goggles and dedicated exhaust hoods. Clean equipment with 10 % ethanol to solubilise residual capsaicin.

Claim strength: High.

Can smoked ghost-chilli powder serve as a natural preservative?

Capsaicin and smoke phenolics inhibit E. coli and S. aureus at ≥ 500 ppm. When used at 0.1 % in beef jerky marinade, total plate counts remained < 2 log CFU g⁻¹ after 60 days ambient storage.

Claim strength: Moderate.
