SWEET RED PEPPER
Sweet red pepper (
Capsicum annuum)
is characterized by an exceptional concentration of ascorbic acid (271.0% of the Daily Value [DV] per 100 g),
beta-carotene (42.0%),
alpha-tocopherol (19.0%),
folate (folic acid) (17.0%), and
pyridoxine (14.0%). Its
mineral profile is notably rich in:
lithium (87.0% DV per 100 g),
silicon (73.0%),
cobalt (30.0%),
boron (21.0%), and
chromium (11.0%). The nutritional profile is further distinguished by its
omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid content (14.3%), where
linoleic acid (18:2) serves as the primary constituent, and its
total phytosterol content (16.4%). The carbohydrate fraction includes
mono- and disaccharides (10.3%), with
glucose (17.2% DV) as the predominant sugar, and
dietary fiber (11.0%). It contains
trace amounts of sucrose (0.05–0.11 g per 100 g), while
starch is absent from its composition.
The total purine base content per 100 g constitutes 5.0% of the daily allowance.
The concentration of
oxalic acid per 100 g is 16 mg, representing
4.0% of the maximum tolerable daily intake (for further details, see
Rhubarb).
