To systematically investigate the differences in quality characteristics of main-planted Capsicum annuum L in Xinjiang.
The 41 representative Capsicum annuum L varieties (including major cultivated types such as Erjingtiao, Baoyin 829 and screw chili) from key production areas including Changji,Kashgar and Bayingolin in Xinjiang were selected as experimental materials. High performance liquid chromatography was employed to detect and analyze vitamin C, total sugars and capsaicinoids (capsaicin,dihydrocapsaicin, etc.) in the Capsicum annuum L samples.
Vitamin C content in Xinjiang Capsicum annuum L ranged from 5.89 to 33.90 mg/100 g, with the Erjingtiao variety from the Kashgar region exhibiting the highest content at 33.90 mg/100 g. Total sugar content ranged from 4.80 to 29.20 g/100 g, with the highest value of 29.20 g/100 g found in the screw chili variety from the Jimsar region. Capsaicinoid content ranged from 0.49 to 6.22 g/kg.The Baoyin 829 variety from the Kashgar region not only reached 6.22 g/kg in capsaicinoids but also yielded the highest converted pungency value, making it the most pungent type among the 41 varieties.
The Erjingtiao from Kashgar prefecture has the highest vitamin C content, the Baoyin 829 from Kashgar prefecture has the highest pungency, and the screw chili from Jimsar prefecture has the highest total sugar content. This experimental research provides valuable theoretical support for quality grading and deep processing applications of Xinjiang Capsicum annuum L varieties.
