Abstract EN
Sweet bell peppers are greatly appreciated for their taste, color, pungency, and aroma.
Additionally, they are good sources of bioactive compounds with antioxidant activity, which can be improved by the use of elicitors.
Elicitors act as metabolite-inducing factors (MIF) by mimic stress conditions.
Since plants rarely experience a single stress condition one by one but are more likely to be exposed to simultaneous stresses, it is important to evaluate the effect of elicitors on plant secondary metabolism as mixtures.
Jasmonic acid (JA), hydrogen peroxide (HP), and chitosan (CH) were applied to fruits and plants of bell pepper as mixtures.
Bioactive compounds, antioxidant activity, and quality parameters were evaluated.
The assessed elicitor cocktail leads to an increase in the variables evaluated (P ≤ 0.05) when applied to mature fruits after harvest, whereas the lowest values were observed in the treatment applied to immature fruits.
Therefore, the application of the elicitor cocktail to harvested mature fruits is recommended in order to improve bioactive compounds and the antioxidant activity of sweet bell peppers.
