Resumen
Three accessions of habanero pepper (Capsicum chinense
Jacq.), differing in the color of the fruits throughout the maturation
process, were analyzed for antioxidants, namely carotenoids, ascorbate
and glutathione. The mature fruits from the three accessions contained
high levels of the above mentioned antioxidants. Accession MR8H
presented the highest content of red carotenoids, while in SBN01, the
ascorbate level was the maximal found regardless of the maturation
stage.
