Quantitative variations in total solids, ascorbic acid and total pigment content of fifteen capsicum cultivars grown under field conditions were assessed. A progressive increase of total solids was found in all cultivars at all stages of fruit maturation and ripening. A direct relationship was found between ascorbic acid content and capsicum maturity. Total pigment contents increased between two and seventy fold as the result of transition from the immature to the fully ripe condition.
