Green bell peppers (Capsicumfrutescens L.var. Longrum) were obtained from a local supermarket and stored at 4°C until use. Vitamin C (Vc), titratable acidity (TA), and total soluble solid (TSS) in peppers were analyzed and their mean values were found to be 105.33 mg 100 g-’, 1..06 mg L-I, and 4.57%, respectively. Whole green bell peppers of similar shape and size and without visible physical damage were selected for experiments.
