Abstract

 Blanching was done at 85-90 °C for 5 min. To the pasteurized pepper, acetic acid was added at a concentration of 1.5 % in terms of finished product, which belongs to the low marinated products. Pasteurization is carried out at T 92 °Cfor 30 minutes. The chemical properties were determined by analyzing the following parameters: total dry matter, carbohydrates, proteins, oils, total acids, vitamin C, β-carotene and ash, both in fresh and in pasteurized peppers. Based on the obtained results the quality and nutritional composition were determined. The variety horgosh shows the highest content of total dry matter (11.45 %), vitamin C (138.9 mg/100 g), βcarotene (22.7 mg/100 g), and the highest energy value (41.7 kcal). In the gourp of the pasteurized peppers, the variety of palanechko chudo has been characterized by the lowest average value of total dry matter (7.49 %) and lowest total energy value (24.6 kcal); the variety of kurtovska kapija had the lowest contents of vitamin C (52.1 mg/100 g) and β-carotene (6.09 mg/100 g).
