The variation in the level of
total phenolics and also in different phenolic acids in five varieties
of green pepper have also been reported by Bandyopadhyay,
Narayan, and Variar (1980). Certain reports on the phytochemical
investigation of green chilli indicate the presence of caffeic acid
and their derivatives in the fruits of pepper cultivars along with
other compounds (Haword, Talcott, Breves, & Villalon, 2000).
