Food value of capsicum pepper (Capsicum Spp.). 10. Biochemistry and biotechnology. References. Index. The chilli (Capsicum Spp.) pepper is an important condiment of high commercial value and also medicinal values containing antioxidant properties anti cancerous and many other properties. It occupies an important place in the human culture since pre history in many countries. Capsicum is well known in the pre historic Mexican culture such as Aztecs and Olmecas. Capsicum belongs to the family Solanacease possessing 10 species. Originating in the new world the crop has spread to different corners of the world. Different species are cultivated in several countries of the world. In U.S.A most commercial pepper cultivars belong to C. capsicum. Most of the US supply is produced in New Mexico California and Texas. Both fresh and dried products are used in trade. Mexico exports more than 98% of fresh peppers to USA Pakistan India China and Spain. The fruit of Capsicum annuum belongs to Longum group which is popularly know as red pepper paprika or capsicum. The fruit of Capsicum grossum has mild flavour called sweet pepper and is also a source of spice. The ripe fruit of Capsicum annum is also known as paprika. The dry powdered fruits are used in cooking to give mild flavour and red colour. The fruit quality is determined in terms of nutrient contents of B P Fe Mg Si Mn Al Ca and Cu. Several books on Capsicum are available in the market on specific aspects but a book is rare which contains various aspects starting from taxonomy. The present book discusses advances in Capsicum during the past decade. The authors felt the necessity for compiling extensively reviewed aspects in a single book the world wide research advances on various subjects of Capsicum. This book covers a variety of subjects starting from origin breeding and genetics physiology production techniques biotic and abiotic stress factors food science to biotechnology and biochemistry in a cohesive manner. In the third world where capsicum cultivation and research is proceeding at a rapid pace the scientist get access to current science. Libraries are poorly funded and computer facilities are negligible not permitting website consultation. The authors strongly feel this book will fulfill their desires. The book aims to serve as a teaching guide a rich sources of information for the students and researchers as for farmers and producers about the most research advances on capsicum sciences made by the scientists throughout the world. The professors and researchers can update their knowledge and research trends on the subjects in various disciplines. 244 pp.

There is great necessity of the management of crop plants which can solve the great problem of food in the arid and semi arid regions and can adapt and produce in these conditions. The common names of peal millets are Pennisetum typhoides (Burm) Stapf and Hubb and Pennisetum glaucum (L.) Br. The actual name P. Americanum is given by clusias. Pearl millet is of African origin and domesticated. According to Vavilov pearl millet is originated in Ethiopia. Murdock put forward its origin in Africa near Niger river. The great diversity is found in West African regions South of Sahara desert and Sahel regions. Pearl millet is sown in the arid and semiarid tropical regions with annual temperature ranging from 18 to 35oC precipitations of 200 600 mm per year under rainfed situations. The poor distribution frequency and duration of precipitation generates severe drought which affect the grain yield and forage. Pearl millet has capacity to produce under these conditions compared to other traditional crops. The improvement of pearl millet and other minor cereals are potential sources of food has been appreciated in these regions compared to other crops similar to rice wheat and maize in developed countries. In Africa India China Korea Japan the millets are cultivated abundantly for human and animal food in the arid and semiarid regions under rainfed conditions. Owing to increasing populations and the greater demand of food it is a great necessity to incorporate the crop species for better adaptation to the stress situations such as high temperature drought poor fertile salinity alkalinity of soils. The present book pretend to contribute an extensive research review during the last decade on various disciplines of pearl millet starting from origin crop physiology to biotechnology. The book aims to serve as a major source of information for the students researchers farmers and producers to know about research advances on capsicum sciences made by the scientists throughout the world. 218 pp.
