Abstract
We determined capsaicinoids and their free phenolic inermediates in th e placenta of two cultivars of Capsicum annuum during the fruit-develo ping period. One cultivar was highly pungent, while the other had no p ungency. Although substantial amounts of free phenolics were detected in both cultivars, they were not correlated with the production of cap saicinoids in either cultivar.
