Abstract

Ornamental chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) belongs to the Solanaceae family and is highly popular for its aesthetic value. Ornamental chilli plants are edible, with attractive plant architecture and fruit shapes, as well as varying levels of spiciness. The most preferred traits in ornamental chilli plants include compact size (suitable for potted plants), diverse and unique fruit shapes and colors, and upright fruit orientation. This study aims to investigate the morphological diversity in the F1 generation resulting from a single cross-hybridization between two ornamental chilli varieties, namely the Medusa Pepper, known for its compact growth habit, and the Black Pearl Pepper, characterized by purple-coloured fruits and leaves. Analysis of the qualitative data shows that the F1 generation shares a high degree of morphological similarity with the female parent, Black Pearl Pepper, with a similarity value exceeding 75%, while it exhibits no significant resemblance to the male parent, Medusa Pepper, with a similarity value of 0%. The F1 generation from the single cross demonstrates limited morphological variation, with all observed traits being largely influenced by dominant characteristics, including fruit color, plant habit, and leaf color.

Abstract

Pectin has been widely used as a gelling agent, thickener, and stabilizer, especially in the food industry. Pectin is obtained by extracting plant parts such as orange peel. Solvents are needed in the pectin extraction process. Usually, inorganic solvents used, such as HCl and H2SO4, have negative impacts on researchers and the environment. In this study, NADES (Natural Deep Eutectic Solvent) was used with citric acid and sucrose, which are safer and more environmentally friendly. Pre-treatment by pressing was carried out to reduce the water content so that the orange peel could be changed into a simplex and ready to be extracted from its pectin. This study aims to see the effect of pre-treatment pressing temperature and the ratio of materials and volume of NADES on the characteristics of the pectin produced. The results showed that pre-treatment pressing temperature and the ratio of materials and volume of NADES had a significant effect (p <0.05) on the equivalent number, methoxyl content, galacturonic acid content, degree of esterification, and water content.
