Resumo(s)
The purpose of this paper was the identification of species in a group of 71 Capsicum plants and the determination of pungency in samples of 44 of them. For morphophysiological characterization descriptors defined by the CPVO and some defined by IPGRI were used. Among the 71 observed plants, 32 were identified as C. annuum, 5 as C. baccatum, 27 as C. chinense, 6 as C. frutescens and 1 as C. pubescens. Additionally, the pertinence of establishing a restrict number of characters that would simultaneously allow a secure ans expedite identification, namely corolla and seed color, presence or absencce of spots and ring constriction, was evaluated. Pungency was quantified through HPLC analysis, preceded by grinding and capsaicinoid extraction studies.
