Three varieties of Himalayan Red chilli of North India (Kashmiri Local, Kupwari Local and Shalimar Long) were evaluated for their proximate composition, mineral content, carotenoid and capsaicinoid composition, total phenolics and flavonoids including phenolic acids and antioxidant activity. Magnesium was found to be a major mineral present in all the varieties. A total of 6 major carotenoids and 3 major capsaicinoids were found by HPLC, out of which capsanthin and capsaicin were dominant components primarily responsible for the attractive bright red colour and pungency (hotness) respectively. The total carotenoids and capsaicinoids of three chilli varieties ranged from 1005 to 1162 mg/kg and 1046-1231 mg/kg respectively. The total phenolics and flavonoids were of the order of 7438-11930 mg GAE/kg and 3778-6116 mg RU/kg. Among all the phenolic acids analysed, gallic acid was found to be dominant in all the varieties of red chilli. Shalimar Long variety was found to exhibit significantly (p < 0.05) higher capsaicinoids, total phenolics, flavonoids and phenolic acids. Kupwari Local variety was found to possess significantly (p < 0.05) higher carotenoids, thereby contributing to bright red colour. The highest antioxidant potential with low EC50 value was contributed from Shalimar Long variety for all antioxidant assays.
