- Pepper is loaded with beneficial phytochemicals like capsaicinoids and phenols, which have antimicrobial and antioxidant properties useful for both human and plant health.
- In a study, different pepper varieties (Cacho de Cabra, Bell Pepper, Hungarian Wax, and Cristal) were assessed for their capsaicin and phenolic content, finding that Cristal and Hungarian Wax had the highest capsaicinoids while Bell Pepper had the most phenols and antioxidant activity.
- The research demonstrated that extracts from these peppers can inhibit fungal growth, showing their potential as non-toxic pest management tools in agriculture.
