The objective of this paper was to examine the total polyphenols, vitamin C and capsaicin contents pepper (varieties: Garam F1, Alma, Poseidon, Promontor, Slovakia, Claudius, Bhut Jolokia, Serrano, Candlelight) their correlation with antioxidant activity by using high performance liquid chromatography Folin-Ciocalteu method. limit detection for 0.09 µg.g−1.Vitamin ranged from 95.76 2,139 44.40 2,224 μg.g−1 dry matter (DM), respectively. determined polyphenol content (TPC) 4,230 9,939 mg GAE.kg−1 DM values (AA) DPPH •, FRAP ABTS • + methods were in range 19.48–91.81, 19.08–61.46 15.72–65.70 μmol TE.g−1 DM, Based on statistical evaluation, there a between peppers. obtained results suggest that due composition bioactive compounds, especially antioxidants, consumption fruits is an ideal choice prevention cell damage.
