title: Effects of grilling on luteolin (3',4',5,7-tetrahydroxyflavone) content in sweet green bell pepper (Capsicum annuum).
abstract: The content of luteloin in green bell pepper (Capsicum annuum) produced in Turkey were determined by RP-HPLC with DAD detection. The luteloin (3',4',5,7-Tetrahydroxyflavone) content of green pepper samples were 46.00 +/- 0.76 mg kg(-1) f.w. (average). The alterations of luteloin concentrations with heating process (grilling, közleme) and the loss of luteloin amount were also determined. Luteolin contents of grilled peppers were found as 29.96 +/- 0.96 mg kg(-1) f.w. The method was objective and reproducible for accurate detection of luteloin in green pepper and other pepper varieties.
