Abstract:Different studies report that pepper fruit cuticle and pericarp thickness vary among marked cultivars and these variations likely influence many fruit quality traits, especially water loss rates. Thus, the objectives of this work was to evaluate the fresh market performance of pepper cultivars based on fruit traits, and indicate the cultivars of Capsicum spp. with less probability of post harvest water loss. Pepper fruits, belonging to C. chinense, C. frutescens and C. baccatum species, were collected in an ex… Show more
