Capsicum frutescence is present in the liberal quantities in the placental tissue (which holds the seeds). The seeds themselves do not produce any capsicum, although the highest concentration of capsaicin can be found in the in the white pith around the seeds. For the present work we have taken the fruit of chili peppers belonging to the family Solanaceae and genus capsicum shows an incredible diversity and is consumed by a large section of population throughout the world because of its health beneficial effects. Chemical compounds such as capsaicinoids, carotenoids (provi-tamin A), flavonoids, vitamins (Vitamins C and E), minerals, essential oils and aroma of the fruits have shown to possess anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. Gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis revealed the presence of total number of 7 compounds from the hexane fraction of C. frutescence. GC-MS showed the presence of many biologically important volatile constituents including heterocyclic compounds, hydrocarbons, long chain aliphatic carboxylic acids and their derivatives. The compounds were identified by comparing their retention time with that of literature and by interpretation of mass spectra. The quantitative estimation of each peak was made by estimating area of the peak by computer attached to GC-MS instrument.
Keywords:
