“…It has been recognized as a Geographical indication of Mizoram by the Government of India in 2015 [2] ( Majumder et al,2023). The SHU count of the mizo chilli is around 50,000-100,000 [3] (Lalhminghlui et al, 2020). It is divided into three grades: Grade A-It has a length of about 1cm.…”

Mizo chilli (Bird’s eye chilli), locally known as Hmarchate or Vaihmarchate is one of the hottest chillies in the world and a major spice crop of Mizoram. Traditional sun-drying at temperatures around 33±2℃ and hot air oven drying at 40°C, 50℃ and 60℃ was carried out using the green chillies (grade B and C) having lengths of around 2.5 cm–4 cm. The initial moisture content of the fresh chillies was 78±5% (wb) having a water activity of 0.981±0.017, and it was dried to a final moisture content of 6±2% (wb). The time required for sun drying was around 30 h which was done during the daytime of bright sunny days. The hot air oven drying at 40°C, 50℃, and 60℃ were completed in 26 h, 24 h, and 23 h respectively. The color variation of the samples was measured using a hunter lab calorimeter. The water activity (aw) of the sun-dried samples was 0.407±0.004 and that of the hot air-dried samples was 0.551±0.003. The sun drying gave a better appearance than the hot air drying. Studying the drying behavior and kinetics of the samples, the Page model was best fitted for sun drying while the Lewis model was found to be best fitted for hot air oven drying.
