Epidemiology, Aphid Vectors, Impact and Management of Tobacco Etch Potyvirus in Hot Peppers in Jamaica
Production of hot peppers, Capsicum spp., in Jamaica is constrained by the aphid-transmitted potyviruses, tobacco etch virus (TEV) and potato virus Y (PVY). The virus epidemiology was not understood and no effective virus management system existed for these viruses. This study sought to identify …

Evaluation of Two Lipid-Based Edible Coatings For Their Ability to Preserve Post Harvest Quality of Green Bell Peppers
… post harvest quality changes in green bell peppers (Capsicum annum L. cv. King Arthur). Post harvest storage quality conditions tested included respiration rates, weight, color and texture changes, and stability of ascorbic acid (AA) and dehydroascorbic acid (DHA) content. Results indicated …

Effects of Vesicular-Arbuscular Mycorrhizae on Plants Growing Under Salt Stress
… (NaCl) stress, onions (Allium cepa) and bell peppers (Capsicum annuum) inoculated with either Glomus fasciculatus or Gigaspora margarita grew larger than the nonmycorrhizal controls. To determine if improved phosphate (P) nutrition supplied by the mycorrhizal endophytes was the factor most …

Association of foodborne pathogens with Capsicum annuum fruit and evaluation of the fruit for antimicrobial compounds
Hot peppers are gaining popularity in the United States as both a vegetable and a spice. In 2008, jalapeño peppers were involved in a multistate outbreak of Salmonella Saintpaul. This is the first outbreak implicating jalapeño as a vehicle for foodborne illness. Hot peppers contain many compounds …

Using Pheromone Lures, Insecticide Netting, and a Novel Food-Grade Repellent to Develop BMSB IPM Strategies
… in an attract-and-kill strategy to protect bell peppers. The pheromone and netting deployed within a pepper field resulted in more BMSB feeding on plants within 6.1 m to the attract-and-kill screen than in further peppers or peppers in the weekly insecticide treatment. In another study, the …

Extraction of Capsaicin Using the Polyol Induced Extraction (PIE) Method
… are the group of compounds that gives hot peppers and sauces their spicy taste and is expressed as Scoville Heat Units (SHU). The two major chemicals in the peppers that cause the hot sensation are capsaicin (1) and dihydrocapsaicin (2). The partition coefficient of a pure sample of natural …
