Suitability of pepper for processing

Capsicum annuum L.

A technological criterion determining the compliance of pepper fruits with industrial processing standards based on their morphological parameters, chemical composition, and stability after thermal processing.

In the reference 383 varieties crop Bell pepper, where this is mentioned in the description.

Pepper varieties suitable for processing must meet strict morphological requirements, including specific fruit shape, size, and density, ensuring high processing efficiency and minimal waste during peeling. A key indicator is the ability of the fruits to retain predetermined organoleptic properties, taste, aroma, and levels of vitamin C and carotenoids after thermal processing, preservation, or drying.

The assessment of suitability is closely linked to the phase of technical or biological maturity, which determines the accumulation of sugars, dry matter, and pigments in the fruits. An important aspect is high resistance to diseases such as tomato spotted wilt virus and blossom-end rot, as affected fruits are excluded from industrial production due to the risk of pathogen development during storage and processing.
