Abstract
Variability in chemical composition of eggplants and sweet peppers
Highlights
Vegetables are a major source of vitamins and trace elements for humans
We evaluated the variability of the dry matter and vitamin C contents in eggplants, depending on the subspecies and variety, as well as the variability of the dry matter, vitamin C and total sugar content in industrially or biologically mature sweet peppers, depending on their color, when they were grown in the Left Bank Forest-Steppe Ukraine, to establish patterns in these parameters and their dynamics
It was visually noted that varieties with high dry matter content had a glossy surface, strong peel, dense flesh and are more suitable for transportation and storage
Summary
Vegetables are a major source of vitamins and trace elements for humans. the quantitative and qualitative chemical composition of vegetable products is extremely important.Review of literature, problem statement. Vegetables are a major source of vitamins and trace elements for humans. The quantitative and qualitative chemical composition of vegetable products is extremely important. Eggplant has become increasingly popular due to its taste and high contents of beneficial chemicals such as vitamins B, PP and C, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and sodium. Eggplants contain small amounts of copper, zinc and aluminum, due to balanced contents of iron, manganese and cobalt.
