Abstract
The present review assessed the effect of heat processing on red peppers' (Capsicum annum L.) bioactive compounds and antioxidant capacity. The Google Scholar and Scopus databases were used to search the existing literature. Out of 422 articles accessed based on the inclusion and exclusion criterias included, only 15 studies were qualified for detailed review. The studies examined effects of processing on red hot peppers' bioactive compounds and antioxidant capacity. Information on type of heat applied for individual processes and the conditions used, countries in which the studies were carried out and effect of heat processing's were assessed. The review showed many studies were incomprehensive to details of processing condition constraining the validity of the results obtained from various cooking effects on bioactive compounds and antioxidant capacity. Further studies aimed at gaining a better understanding of the heat processing conditions and factors that influence the bioactive compounds and antioxidant capacity of red peppers are needed.
