1. Introduction
Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is an important vegetable in many parts of the world that is valued for the piquancy, nutrition, and pigment content of the fruits. There are a number of carotenoids present in the fruit pericarp, mainly -carotene, capsanthin, and capsorubin, that together account for 50–60% of the total carotenoids in Capsicum. The intense red color of the fruits of many cultivars is due to the presence of carotenoids, mainly capsanthin and capsorubin. Capsanthin is a primary ingredient of the red color pigment. In recent years, the chemical synthesis of pigments is losing out to natural food colors in the food industry, and this is because the chemical synthesis of pigments containing carcinogens has been prohibited by many countries. Capsanthin is a natural pigment that is being used in the food, cake, and cosmetics industries. Capsanthin is found mainly in the skin of red peppers, and its synthesis is regulated by capsanthin/capsorubin
