Abstract
The water, neutral-detergent fibre, D-glucose, D-fructose, sucrose, vi tamin C, organic acid, starch, pectin and major pigment contents of Ca psicum annuum L. var. Longum grown in Galicia (N.W. Spain) are determi ned. After water, insoluble fibre was the most abundant component of t hese peppers (NDF 2.2 g/100 g of fresh fruit). Their vitamin C content was rather low (24 mg/100 g).
