Abstract
This study compared the extracts of three varieties of red peppers in terms of their total polyphenol and flavonoid contents as well as antioxidant activities. In this study, two edible red peppers (Capsicum annuum var. angulosum and Capsicum annuum L.) and one flowering grass red pepper (Capsicum annuum var. abbreviatum), were individually extracted by using ethanol. Among three varieties of red peppers, the highest levels of total polyphenols and total flavonoids were observed in Capsicum annuum var. abbreviatum extract. Similarly, antioxidant activities resulted in ${\alpha},{\alpha}$-diphenyl-picrylhydrazyl, 2,2'-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radical scavenging activities, and reducing power significantly increased in extract of Capsicum annuum var. abbreviatum. Therefore, our results strongly suggest that Capsicum annuum var. abbreviatum can be used as a new natural antioxidant source.
