In general the genotypes belonging to C. chinense were found have maximum capsaicin content followed by C. frutescens > Capsicum pubescence
and then different botanical forms of C. annuum. Oleoresin, which
represents the total flavor extract of the ground spice, is now being
extensively used in processed foods and pharmaceutical products.
The current investigation revealed considerable variation for oleoresin from 2.49 (CHF-CA-5) to 9.26 (CHF-CA-18) percent.
