Abstract:
The current study aims to evaluate in commercial hybrids the influence of harvest period about physicochemical and biochemical characterization of different genotypes at the unripe fruit stages. Therefore, 16 hybrids were assessed within 4 harvest times, making up to 64 treatments. Physicochemical and biochemical characterization of sweet pepper at unripe fruit stages were influenced by harvest times and genotypes. Results indicated a decrease in pigment contents in all hybrids when harvested at 130 days after sowing (DAS). Additionally, Eppo, Magali, Dahra and Anabell decreased in ascorbic acid contents at 175 DAS; while Melina, Anabell, Don Santino, Balico and Lucigno increased in reducing sugar contents at same harvest time.
