Capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin are responsible for 90% of the pungency of the fruit; the rest of the capsaicinoids participate to a lesser extent in the itching, but contribute strongly to the diversity of spicy flavors in the different species of Capsicum. In the present project the application of 7 treatment T1 = Chemical, T2 = Chemical + Bioferment, T3 = Chemical + Leached, T4 = Bioferment, T5 = Leached, T6 = Bioferment + Leached, T7 = Chemical + Leached + Bioferment, in greenhouse was evaluated and in open sky, a randomized block design with three repetitions was established. The variables evaluated were plant height, temperature, relative humidity, production weight, fresh weight, root depth, dry weight and pH. The data generated in this research indicate that the treatment that generated the most amount of capsaicinoids was the chemical treatment in the greenhouse with 37.7 ml of capsaicinoids and in the open sky with 36.96 ml.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
