(Solanaceae) contains various carotenoids such as capsanthin, capsorubin, cryptocapsin cucurbitaxanthin A, β-cryptoxanthin, capsanthin epoxide, zeaxanthin, and β-carotene. Especially, capsanthin and capsorubin are characteristic carotenoid in paprika. They show strong antioxidative effect. Furthermore, these carotenoids show preventive effect of obesity-related diseases. Dietary paprika carotenoids are absorbed in blood, and they are detected in erythrocytes.
