abstract = "Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is a very important agricultural crop in Serbia, and
has great economic importance. Pepper fruits are used in the food industry like
fresh or processed products and are characterized by excellent culinary and
nutritional properties. They are an exceptional source of bioactive substances
(carotenoids, ascorbic acid, phenolics, capsaicin) which are considered strong
antioxidants, so in addition to application in the food industry, peppers is also used
in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. Due to the increased tendency of the
use of pepper fruits in human nutrition, researchers aspire to find cultivation
technology that will provide both high yield and nutritious fruit with good quality.
In this paper six different starter fertilizer (Super Star, Elixir Zorka, Šabac) doses
(0, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 kg/ha) were examined in combination with four treatments of
biostimulator (Kelpak, Kelp Products Ltd.) application (without, once, twice and
three times) at different stages of plant development on pepper variety Slonovo uvo
(Superior, Velika Plana) in open field conditions. Extracts of fresh fruits were
prepared with 80% methanol. Total phenolic content (TPC) was determined using
the standard spectrophotometric Folin-Ciocalteu method. The obtained results are
expressed as mg of ferulic acid equivalents (FAE) per g of fresh weight. TPC was
in range from 0.51 to 2.31 mg/g FAE. The obtained preliminary results do not
show a clear influence of used fertilizers on the increase of total phenolic content in
peper fruits, so it is necessary to continue research in order to find an appropriate
model of fertilizers use to improve the pepper fruits quality.",
