Abstract
Chilli is one of the important spices as well as a green grocery Item used in an array of Indian dishes for imparting colour, flavour and pungency to the food. The traditional use of whole or ground chillies is now limited in food and beverage industries, as they do not lend their full characteristic flavour. Now a days, value added chilli products such as oleoresin, essential oil, capsaicin, capsanthin (chilli colour) etc., have gained greater importance in the global market than whole or ground chilli.
