“…used domesticated species are Capsicum annuum, C. frutescens, C. pubescens, C. chinense and C. baccatum, considering that C. chinense and C. baccatum are the most popular in Brazil, due to adaption to the weather conditions of this country (Finger & Pereira, 2016). Peppers of Capsicum genus are diploids, and most members of the family have the same chromosome number (2n = 2x = 24), but it is possible to find some wild species when this placenta suffers any kind of physical damage, these capsaicinoids are released.…”

“…The Capsicum genus consists of over 35 taxa, being five domesticated, ten semi-domesticated and 20 wild species (Bianchetti & Carvalho, 2005;Barboza et al, 2011). The five most P eppers of Capsicum genus belong to Solanaceae family, which also includes other vegetables such as potatoes, tomatoes and eggplants, being of great socioeconomic importance (Finger & Pereira, 2016). Pepper fruits show great diversity of color, aroma and flavor, being the pungency its main attractiveness (or spicy effect).…”

Peppers of the genus Capsicum are of great socioeconomic importance, being pungency trait their main attraction. Pungency characterization, genetic distance estimates and population structure analysis of the accessions belonging to germplasm banks are important for parent selection which allows to obtain superior progenies. Therefore, the aims of this study were: i) evaluate 81 accessions of the Capsicum spp. Germplasm Bank of Universidade Federal de São Carlos (BGC-UFSCar) with molecular markers linked to pungency; ii) estimate the genetic diversity among accessions of the BGC-UFSCar using microsatellite markers (SSR); and iii) evaluate the efficiency of these markers in the distinction among species of Capsicum spp. We noticed that pun1 1 and SNP molecular markers were efficient in predicting the pungent phenotype of BGC-UFSCar accessions in 84.85% and 95.59%, respectively. From a total of 13 amplified microsatellite markers, seven were polymorphic and efficient to discriminate species of Capsicum genus, both through genetic diversity analysis and population structure analysis, which showed three subpopulations. The molecular markers used in this study are useful tools for breeding programs since they were able to characterize and discriminate Capsicum spp. species at DNA level. Information obtained with molecular markers can assist in the selection of contrasting parents for future breeding programs.

“…3B). LDPE had lower permeability to water vapor than PVC [6], having drastically reduced water loss of peppers. The reduction of the weight loss in wrapped fruits was due to the fact that the modified atmosphere allows the formation of a microenvironment with high relative humidity, which reduces fruit perspiration [16].…”

“…Fresh peppers are susceptible to damage by cold (chilling) when stored below 10°C. However, the intensity of cold damage is associated with the stage of fruit ripening and with the variety of pepper [6].…”

Aims: The present study was to assess the postharvest quality of Capsicum annum peppers subjected to different concentrations of salicylic acid at room temperature, and using of different kinds of treatments like as plastic films, refrigerated, with different storage periods. Study Design: For this, two experiments were conducted: Experiment I-salicylic acid concentrations (0; 0.5; 1.0 and 2.0%) and three storage periods (7, 14 and 21 days) were tested; Experiment II-modified atmospheres were used, with low-density polyethylene (LDPE) films with five thickness (20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 µm), polyvinyl chloride (PVC) of 10 µm and control (without film), being stored under refrigeration at 9.5 ± 0.5°C and 90 ± 2% of relative humidity, kept for 7, 14, 21 and 28 days.

“…The most common method of postharvest storage is to keep chili peppers at room temperature and to keep them for two-three days (Finger & Pereira, 2016;Maskey et al, 2021). Chili peppers have a limited shelf life due to their vigorous metabolism when ripe, and microbial spoilages (Edusei et al, 2012).…”

Chili pepper (Capsicum frutescens L.) is a horticulture product with a limited shelf life due to quality degradation following harvest. One method of preserving the quality of chili peppers can be evaluated by using nano-chitosan, which combine chitosan and sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) in certain ratio. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of nano-chitosan on maintaining the quality of C. frutescens L., the optimal ratio of chitosan to STPP for preserving the quality of C. frutescens L. after harvest, and the shelf life of C. frutescens L. treated with nano-chitosan after harvest. This study employed a completely randomized design (CRD) and included four treatments: P0 (control), P1 (0.2% nano-chitosan, 1:3 ratio), P2 (0.2% nano-chitosan, 1:4 ratio), and P3 (0.2% nano-chitosan, 1:5 ratio), which conducted for 16 days. Weight loss, water content, texture, color, and percentage of damage are the research variables in this study. The ANOVA test was used to examine the data, followed by the DMRT test. The results indicated that nano-chitosan could maintain the weight, water content, texture, and color of chili peppers. The optimal ratio of chitosan to STPP to retain the quality of postharvest C. Frutescens L. is 0.2% nano-chitosan (chitosan: STPP= 1:5), and nano-chitosan can maintain the quality of C. Frutescens L. for up to 16 days.
