“…Polyphenol contents in peppers were been reported in other studies [14,38], which indicated that the potential for polyphenols in hybrids is more significant than in this study. It was reported in previous studies that there is a correlation between capsaicin and polyphenol content [37]. These compounds are spread throughout all parts of the plant as protectors against biotic and abiotic stresses [42].…”

“…In addition to capsaicin, chili produces other functional secondary metabolites that can be developed industrially as functional foods, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals [33]. Capsaicin is associated with beneficial biological effects in humans, including antioxidant activity [34][35][36], polyphenolic compounds [37,38], and even alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activity [35]. C. annuum L. species are reported to contain capsiate which can increase triglyceride accumulation, hepatic insulin sensitivity, and glycogen storage [39].…”

Chili (Capsicum annuum), economically important, is one of the world’s most popular horticultural plants. Functional biochemical components, such as polyphenol content, antioxidants, and α-glucosidase inhibitory properties, are found in chili. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a chili hybrid that resulted through full diallel crosses for its yield components, total phenolic (TPC) and flavonoid content (TFC), antioxidants, and α-glucosidase inhibitory (AGI) activities. The Folin-Ciocalteu and AlCl3-colorimetric assays were, respectively, used for TPC and TFC analyses. Using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazy (DPPH) and ferric reducing antioxidant power assay (FRAP) techniques, the antioxidant activity of a sample was determined. The bioassay of α-glucosidase inhibition was used to evaluate the antidiabetic activity of the sample. The twenty-five genotypes (hybrid and parent) have diverse yield components and biochemical contents. The highest fruit weight per plant was found in IPB074005 (1008.85 g). IPB114367 showed a high AGI (80.25%), antioxidant FRAP (43.42 µmol TE g−1 DW), TFC (3.97 mg QE g−1 DW), and TPC (37.51 mg GAE g−1 DW). These findings suggested that hybrid plants that suppress α-glycosidase and oxidative stress may prevent diabetes and its complications. This vital information could help design replacement drugs and diabetes diets.
