Additionally, some differences observed due to their growing environment were also evaluated. The results may help to know more about the nutritional and health potential of some important Brazilian pepper cultivars, associated with their growing environment. They may also help Brazilian pepper-breeding programs to develop new commercial hybrids at produce fruits enriched with health-related compounds. aAscorbic acid aCapsanthin aFood analysis aFood composition aSolanaceae aZeaxanthin aCapsicum Annuum aCapsicum Chinense aC chinense aHPLC aProvitamin A1 aGOMES, I. da S.1 aMELO, L.
