Currently, its supply and demand are arising in national and global market. The aim of this study was to determine the optimal extraction timing of the seeds of C. pubescens according to physiological and physical seed qualities. Seed qualities measurement include seed weight, number of seeds per fruit, total emergence, emergence rate, mean emergence time, mean daily emergence, survival percentage, peak value and emergence value. Treatments were evaluated for comparison as follows: seed extraction ranged from 0 to 3 days after harvest (T1), and seed extraction ranged from 14 to 17 days after harvest (T2). T1 presented seeds with the best physiological qualities and a total emergence value of 84.2%, in contrast to 74.8% obtained in T2.

  • Wild Capsicum in the Area of the Amboró National Park in Bolivia
    Wild Capsicum in the area of the Amboró National Park in Bolivia Claudio Dal Zovo1, Leonardo Bruno2 1 Associazione Pepperfriends, Verona, Italy 2 Associazione Pepperfriends, Roma, Italy Abstract Bolivia is believed to be the source of the genus Capsicum; possibly Capsicum chacoense Hunz. is the species closer to the ancestor of all Capsicum species. About ten species of wild Capsicum grow in Bolivia: Capsicum baccatum L. var. baccatum, Capsicum caballeroi Nee, Capsicum cardenasii Heiser & Smith, Capsicum ceratocalyx Nee, Capsicum chacoense Hunz., Capsicum coccineum (Rusby) Hunz., Capsicum eshbaughii Barboza, Capsicum eximium Hunz., Capsicum minutiflorum (Rusby) Hunz. A couple of possible new species are under investigations. Many cultivated species are also grown and sometimes present in wild forms, especially Capsicum pubescens Ruiz & Pav., Capsicum frutescens L., Capsicum baccatum L. var. pendulum (Willd.) Eshbaugh. These species are preserved in herbaria and described in articles through drawings, but few or no images are available. We wished to produce a better documentation of live plants and their details; so we planned a trip to Bolivia starting in the area where most of the less known species are concentrated. We visited the area around the Amboró National Park, from Santa Cruz de la Sierra up to Samaipata, Mairana and Comarapa (South side of the Park) and the area near Buena Vista (North side of the Park). We found populations of C.minutiflorum (Rusby) Hunz., C.caballeroi Nee, C.eximium Hunz., C.baccatum L. var. baccatum, C.coccineum (Rusby) Hunz., fully described and documented them with many detailed images. These species are well differentiated and each of them has particular characteristics.

The aim of the present research was to evaluate the content of capsaicinoids and characteristics of physicochemical quality in fruits of manzano hot pepper grown in the greenhouse. The experimental design used was completely randomized with 3 and 4 replications. The parameters evaluated were total capsaicinoids, vitamin C, total carotenoids (TC), total soluble solids (TSS), titratable acidity, pH, firmness and color of the fruit. Among the hybrids with the highest content of total capsaicinoids and vitamin C, L4XL8 and L5XL7 (27 371 and 21 700 SHU, respectively) stand out as well as L2XL5 with 809.35 mg 100 g -1.

    Pepper Varieties for Your Markets: from Bells to Habaneros and Everything in Between Frank Mangan, Zoraia Barros and Maria Moreira Dept. Plant, Soil & Insect Sciences, French Hall. University of Massachusetts, Amherst MA 01003. [email protected] Peppers (Capsicum spp.) are from the Tropical Americas and were introduced to the United States via Europe and later Latin America. They are in the Solanaceous (nightshade) family, which includes tomatoes, eggplant and potatoes. Peppers are a perennial plant normally grown as an annual in most of the world, including the United States. In tropical areas there are varieties that are grown as perennials. Peppers are named after the spice pepper (Piper negrum) since ground peppers (Capsicum spp.) could be used as a substitute, Peppers are a very diverse vegetable with an amazing range of shapes, colors, and also “heat”. Some peppers have a compound called capsaicin that is responsible for the pungency in peppers. Mexican heirloom pepper mix produced at the UMass Research This is measured using Scoville units, Farm in 2008.

Gerard Chargualaf and Mari Marutani, Cooperative Extension & Outreach College of Natural & Applied Sciences, University of Guam Most Capsicum peppers are known for their spicy heat. Some varieties have little to no spice such as paprika, banana peppers, and bell peppers. The spice heat of Capsicum peppers are measured and reported as Scoville Heat Units (SHU). In 1912, American pharmacist, Wilbur Scoville, developed a test known as the, Scoville Organoleptic Test, which was used to measure pungency (spice heat) of Capsicum peppers. Since the 1980s, pungency has been more accurately measured by high-performance liquid chromatography Source: https://phys.org/news/2009-06-domestication- (HPLC).

  • Red Chilli – Will It Be Less Spicy This Year?
    ISSN: 2349-5677 Volume 2, Issue 1, June 2015 Red Chilli – Will It Be Less Spicy This Year? Dr. Hitesh Chelawat Business Consultant V.H. Enterprises Udaipur, Rajasthan, India [email protected] Abstract Red Chilli is one of the important spices being used in the culinary preparations, especially in the Asian and Latin American countries. The characteristics hot and pungent taste of the food in the region is owed to Chilli. Chilli is rich in Vitamins and minerals. Apart, from the taste, Chilli is also used for medicinal purposes in treatment of various diseases. India is the largest producer, consumer and exporter of Chilli, with Andhra Pradesh being the major producing and exporting state. The research tries to investigate the price movements of Chilli using technical analysis and to forecast the future prices movements of Chilli based on these. The results of the study show that with the launch of new contracts “Chilli Teja” with the changed specifications, the traders and investors have lost interest in the trading of these contracts and the volumes have dwindled. With the onset of sowing season in couple of months and the low volumes of trading, the outlook for the Chilli prices seem to be strongly bearish and the Chilli prices may move towards Rs. 4800 to Rs. 5500 levels, once they move below the crucial support levels at Rs. 7800. Keywords— Chilli Prices, Forcasting, Technical Analysis I. Introduction Red Chilli, also known as Chili Pepper, is the fruit of the plant Capsicum Annuum of Solanaceae family. Chilli originated in the Americas and has a spicy hot taste.

  • A Pepper Primer Introducing the Capsicums a Brief History
    A Pepper Primer Introducing the Capsicums A Brief History Peppers are members of the genus Capsicum. The first wild Capsicums originated in eastern Bolivia and southern Brazil. Birds spread seed from these peppers across the Americas. Indigenous Americans first domesticated peppers about 7,000 years ago. Other wild pepper species were then independently domesticated at least 4 more times in other locations. Members of Christopher Columbus’ crew collected pepper plants and seeds to bring back to Europe. Wrongly believing the plants to be related to black pepper (Piper nigrum), Columbus gave them their common name “pepper.” Peppers quickly grew in popularity and were spread across the world through colonial trade networks. 2,000-3,000 pepper varieties are grown world-wide today. Pepper Classification Along with tomatoes, potatoes, and eggplant, peppers are members of the night shade family, solanaceae. The pepper genus, Capsicum, is named from the Greek word “kapto” meaning “to bite.” There are about 23 different species of peppers, but only five species contain domesticated varieties. These five species, annuum, chinense, frutescens, pubescens, and baccatum, will be discussed in the following slides. Capsicum annuum Early Aztec plant breeders are credited with domesticating the annuum species in what is now Mexico. The peppers were used for religious, culinary, and medicinal purposes. By European conquistador Hernán Cortés’ arrival in 1519, the Aztecs had developed dozens of unique annuum cultivars including poblanos, jalapeños, serranos, and non- pungent varieties. The annuums are now the most economically important and widely cultivated species around the world. Capsicum chinense Capsicum chinense originated in the lowland jungles of the western Amazon basin in Brazil.
