Abstract

The study aimed to investigate the phytochemical composition of selected chili varieties, specifically Capsicum annuum L. cultivars "Saniya" and "Reva," grown in Balapr Village, Jam Kandorna Taluka, Rajkot District. Chilis are known for their bioactive compounds, which contribute to their medicinal properties, nutritional value, and overall health benefits. The research focused on evaluating the presence of key phytochemicals such as alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, terpenoids, and phenolic compounds in these varieties. These compounds are responsible for the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties often associated with chili peppers. The study also explored the variation in phytochemical content between the two cultivars, aiming to identify the most promising variety for potential health applications. This research is particularly relevant in the context of the increasing demand for functional foods and natural remedies. Understanding the phytochemical profiles of locally grown chili varieties contributes to promoting their cultivation and potential utilization in traditional medicine and the food industry. The choice of this topic was driven by the growing interest in the pharmacological potential of chili peppers and the need for scientific documentation of their benefits, particularly for the local agricultural community in Rajkot District.
