Phytochemical Analysis in Capsicum spp
Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Chili is one of the most consumed vegetables worldwide, after tomato, because of its exquisite flavor and high nutritional value. The genus Capsicum represents a potential source of capsaicinoids. The capsaicinoids are a set of secondary metabolites with different therapeutic activities. In this research, analysis of secondary metabolites by qualitative evidence of terpenoids, determination of vitamin C, total acidity and extraction of DNA in various species of chili were performed. The results demonstrate that DNA extraction was effective and efficient. The identification of the vitamin C is based on the organ of each species of Capsicum. The analysis of the identification of secondary metabolites from acetone extracts of Capsicum shows the presence of a higher content of sterols and lower content of steroids. There was a higher percentage of citric acid, malic acid and tartaric acid in Capsicum tissues without presence of oxalic acid.
