To find the antioxidant potential, fresh fruits of twenty five
Capsicum sp. genotypes were evaluated (Table 2) for their total phenolic contents (TPC), total carotenoids (TC) and antioxidant activity
(AOA). TPC showed wide variation from 5.1 (CHF-CA-8) to 26.8
(CHF-CA-23) mg GAE/g and total carotenoids from 0.09 (CHF-CA-
16) to 7.72 (CHF-CA-17) mg/100 g on fresh weight basis.
