Description
- Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) belongs to the Solanaceae family,which is one of the largest families in the plant kingdom, and includes more than 3000 species. Some members of the Solanaceae family have been widely cultivated over the years for human nutrition and health, such as pepper, tomato, potato, and eggplant. Capsicum species are consumed worldwide and are valued because of their unique color, pungency, and aroma.
- Dry hot pepper (Capsicum annum L.) is one of the most important spices used worldwide as a natural flavoring and coloring agent owing to its unique spicy and pungent taste and color. In addition, peppers are a rich source of nutrients and diverse bioactive compounds with potential health-promoting properties, such as capsaicinoids and antioxidant compounds. However, pepper is generally contaminated by molds, yeast and bacteria during the cultivation, drying, packaging, and storage processes[1] [2].
