Characterization of Thirty Germplasms of Millet Pepper (<i>Capsicum frutescens</i> L.) in Terms of Fruit Morphology, Capsaicinoids, and Nutritional Components.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Millet peppers have rich and diverse germplasm resources. It is of great significance to characterize their phenotypes and physicochemical indicators.

Methods

30 millet germplasms were selected to measure the fruit length and width, flesh thickness, number of ventricles, fruit stalk length, and single fruit weight, and the texture characteristics of fruit such as hardness, cohesiveness, springiness, gumminess, and chewiness were determined by a texture analyzer. At the same time, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography (GC) were used to determine the fruit of capsaicin, dihydrocapsaicin, nordihydrocapsaicin, fatty acids, vitamin E (VE), total phenol, total sugar, and total dietary fiber.

Results

M11 showed outstanding parameters
