Abstract

After growing the hot pepper fruits in polyethylene film(PE) house covered with white or red colored film, the fruits were collected and chlorophyll, carotenoid, and capsaicin content was analyzed. Although total chlorophyll content was higher in fruit of white PE house$(208.9{\mu}g/g-F.W)$ as compared to that of red PE house $(153.0{\mu}g/g-F.W)$ grown plants, the ratio of chlorophyll a over b were similar, giving 2.15 and 2.13 respectively in white and red PE house. Total carotenoid, $\beta$-carotene and the capsaicin content were higher in fruits of red PE house grown plants. Therefore, it is suggested that red film could be used as a successful covering material for poly ethylene film house.

고추의 Polyethylene Film house 재배시에 피복 재료로서 White, Blue, Green 및 Red Color의 Film을 사용하여 광질에 따른 실험을 행한 바 있다. White와 Red Film의 처리시에 Chlorophyll, Carotenoid, 및 Capsaicin 함량을 측정한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 총(總) Chlorophyll의 함량은 White구가 $208.9{\mu}g/g$-F.W., Red구가 $153.0{\mu}g/g$-F.W.으로서 White구에서 그 함량이 현저히 높았으며, Chlorophyll a,b의 비는 White, Red구가 각각 2.15, 2.13으로 비슷하였다. 2. 총(總) Carotenoid는 Red구가 White구의 3.4배에 달하였으며, 특히 $\beta$-carotene은 Red, White구가 각각 $490.6{\mu}g%,\;75.5{\mu}g%$로서 Red구에서 현저히 많았다. 3. Capsaicin의 함량은 Red구가 White구보다 약 20%정도 높았다.
