These organisms tend to make red pepper powder a source of potential health hazard. The FAO/WHO preliminary report indicated a global concern on the management of these pathogens in foods and the need to reduce or eliminate the health hazards associated with them. Some of these pathogens have been identified with both dried and powdered pepper samples in Ghana. This warranted a study to investigate the use of gamma irradiation on these pathogens in Legon-18 (Capsicum annuum L.) pepper powder and also to determine the impact of the gamma radiation treatment on the quality parameters of the samples stored at two different temperatures. Samples of powdered Legon-18 pepper were obtained from a local farmer. Known weights of the samples were sterilised by gamma irradiation at 20 kGy, and a cocktail of Listeria monocytogenes, Bacillus cereus, Salmonella Typhimurium, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli of pre-determined cell count (colony forming unit/millilitre), were inoculated into them. The samples were irradiated at 1, 2, 4, and 5 kGy with 0 kGy as control, to determine an effective dose of gamma irradiation that could lead to complete inactivation of the pathogens inoculated in the samples. The samples were stored at 4 oC and 28±2 oC. Enumeration of the different pathogens was carried out on days 0, 2, 5, 12, 21, 30, 45 and 60 in storage. The effects of gamma irradiation and storage on the quality parameters of unsterile samples were determined. These were irradiated at 1, 2, 4 and 5 kGy. Unirradiated samples served as control (0 kGy). The CIELAB colour components were determined using the Minolta Chroma-meter. Carotenoids and capsaicinoids in the samples were quantified using high performance liquid chromatography. The results suggest that gamma irradiation treatment completely inactivated L. monocytogenes and S. Typhimurium only at day 60 at 2 and 4 kGy. E. coli could not thrive in the samples after 30 days of storage when not exposed to gamma irradiation. S. aureus could be completely inactivated at 4 kGy only after 45 days (no detection of S. aureus in the samples after). All iv University of Ghana http://ugspace.ug.edu.gh the pathogens could be completely inactivated at 2, 4 and 5 kGy. The optimum dose for complete inactivation of the pathogens excluding B. cereus was 2 kGy which is subject to a storage period of over 45 days. All pathogens used in the study were completely inactivated at 5 kGy even on day zero. Gamma irradiation treatments and storage significantly (p<0.05) affected the quality parameters of the samples. Losses of colour parameters, carotenoids and capsaicinoids were more pronounced in the samples that were stored at 28±2 oC as compared with the samples that were stored at 4 oC. Percentage losses for the samples stored at 4 oC were in the range of 83.32 and 83.81%, 50.00% to 53.72%, 33.53% to 37.80%, 54.52% to 58.60%, 40.25% and 56.00%, 78.35 to 81.71% and percentage increase in the range of 372.36% to 429.14% for lightness, redness, yellowness, browning index, chroma, hue and total colour difference respectively. The total colour difference, hue, chroma, browning index, yellowness, redness and lightness of the samples that were stored at 28±2 oC were in the range of 410.72% to 417.50%, 80.13% to 84.75%, 39.55% to 57.00 %, 50.69% to 54.02%, 32.98% to 37.37%, 51.86 to 55.06, 72.77 to 76.98% respectively. Moisture content, total titratable acidity and pH of the samples were stable. Capsaicinoid content ranged from 118 in the unirradiated samples to 221.00 (mg/100g) in the irradiated samples. At the end of the storage period there was a loss of 22.46%, 9.95%, 11.78%, 9.86% and 9.53% in the samples that were irradiated at 0, 1, 2, 4and 5 kGy respectively and stored at 4 oC and for the unirradiated samples, 16.43%, 11.11%, 10.31% and 10.67% for the samples that were irradiated at 1, 2, 4 and 5 kGy respectively and stored at 28±2 oC. Gamma irradiation caused an increase of 6.33, 17.68, 18.79 % and 20.95% in the samples irradiated at 1, 2, 4 and 5 kGy respectively. Beta cryptoxanthin, beta carotene and capsanthin ranged from 1.04 to 2.11, 5.36 to 10.27 and 1.12 to 1.48 (mg/100 g) in the irradiated samples, respectively. Gamma irradiation and storage caused some reductions in the contents of all the pigments analysed (p<0.05). v University of Ghana http://ugspace.ug.edu.gh TABLE OF CONTENTS DECLARATION ................................................................................................................. i DEDICATION .................................................................................................................... ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ................................................................................................. iii ABSTRACT ...................................................................................................................... iv TABLE OF CONTENTS .................................................................................................. vi LIST OF TABLES ............................................................................................................. xi LIST OF FIGURES ......................................................................................................... xiii LIST OF ABREVIATIONS ............................................................................................. xv CHAPTER ONE ................................................................................................................. 1 1.0 GENERAL INTRODUCTION .................................................................................... 1 1.1 Background ............................................................................................................... 1 1.2 Rationale ................................................................................................................... 2 1.3 Objectives .................................................................................................................. 3 1.3.1 Main Objective ................................................................................................ 3 1.3.2 Specific objectives .......................................................................................... 4 CHAPTER TWO ................................................................................................................ 5 2. 0 LITERATURE REVIEW ............................................................................................ 5 2.1 Spices ........................................................................................................................ 5 2.2 Peppers: origin, botany and production .................................................................... 6 2.3 Nutritional Composition ........................................................................................... 7 2.4 World production and economic importance .......................................................... 10 2.5 Characteristics and quality indices of chili pepper and pepper products ................ 11 2.5.1 Colour ............................................................................................................ 11 2.5.2 Pungency ....................................................................................................... 12 2.6 Uses of chili pepper and pepper products ............................................................... 14 2.7 Pepper production in Ghana .................................................................................... 14 2.8 Microbial ecology of chili pepper powder .............................................................. 15 2.9 Processing ..............................................................................................................

The Capsicum is recognised by its five main domesticated species, namely Capsicum annuum, C. baccatum, C. chinense, C. frutescens and C. pubescens. The genetic diversity in Capsicum offers fruits in wide ranges of morphology and carotenoid profile. Carotenoids enhance the value of pepper from a nutritional standpoint, despite being commonly prized for the pharmacologically active pungent capsaicinoids. Carotenoids of pepper comprise mainly of the unique, powerful and highly stable capsanthin and capsoroubin, together with β-carotene, β-cryptoxanthin, lutein, zeaxanthin, antheraxanthin and violaxanthin. These carotenoids are present at diverse profile and varying levels, biosynthetically connected to the fruit maturity stages.

  • SNP Markers for Background Selection a Total of 412 Locus Specific SNP Markers Were Used for MABC
    Breeding of ‘Sweet Shinhong’ pepper by Marker-assisted backcrossing (MABC) Siyoung Jang, Koeun Han, Hyeon-Seok Jeong, Jin-Kyung Kwon, Byoung-Cheorl Kang* Department of Plant Science, Plant Genomics and Breeding Institute, and Research Institute for Agriculture and Life Sciences, Seoul National University, Seoul 151-921, Korea ABSTRACT Capsinoids is unique compound of pepper, which have similar biological effect to capsaicinoids like anticancer and anti-obesity. However, because the characteristic of capsinoids is non-pungency contrary to capsaicinoids, it has been studied to investigate genetic factor related to biosynthesis of capsinoids and to breed pepper variety producing capsinoids. Two pathway are known to be involved in capsaicinoids synthesis, phenylpropanoid and valine pathway. Capsinoids biosynthesis pathway is common to capsaicinoids, but putative-aminotransferase (pAMT) gene mutation in phenylpropanoid pathway cause capsinoids production instead of capsaicinoids. ‘SNU11-001’ which have pAMT gene mutation produce high level of capsinoids and ‘Shinhong’ is Korean chili pepper. In previous research, pAMT mutation in ‘SNU11-001’ have been introgressed to ‘Shinhong’ to breed novel ‘Shinhong’ pepper containing high contents of capsinoids by Marker-Assisted Backcrossing (MABC) method. Recessive homozygous pAMT allele was selected by genotyping with KASP marker for foreground selection and 8 to 10 plants which recovered by ‘Shinhong’ genome highly were selected by Fluidigm high-throughput genotyping analysis. ‘Shinhong C × SNU11-001 (SSHC)’ BC2F1-40 was selected by MABC with 198 SNP markers and recovery rate was 96.3%. In this study, MABC of ‘SNU11-001 × Shinhong C (SSHC)’ BC3F1 and ‘SNU11-001 × Shinhong B (SSHB)’ BC2F1 was proceeded. 202 and 102 markers were used for background selection, respectively.

ABSTRACT Background: In this study, the capsaicin content, heat level and color of nine pepper genotypes and varieties belonging to Capsicum annuum and Capsicum chinense were described at different ripening stages. Heat level and color is a desirable feature for Turkish pepper consumers. Therefore, knowledge on the heat level and of Turkish pepper genotypes is important for a future breeding project aiming variety development. Methods: Turkish materials (Alata 10, 15 and 111) were improved from the pepper collection of Alata Horticultural Research Institute-Turkey. The Rwandan variety Pili-Pili is consumed in Rwandan cuisine. The capsaicin content of the Alata collection and Pili-Pili were identified both at immature and red ripening stages. In addition, some accessions carrying various resistances to diseases were evaluated: namely Er-Fu- Tou (Cucumber Mosaic Virus), C29 (Phytophthora capsici and Potato Virus Y), PI 260429 (Tobacco Mosaic Virus) and PI 152225 (Tomato spotted wilt virus); for these accessions, sampling was done at red Open Access ripening stage. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used for identifying capsaicinoids and extraction was performed by Received: 01 November 2019 sodium acetate saturated ethanol.
