Answer:
yellow-orange colors of chili pepper fruits are mainly due to the accumulation of α- and β-carotene, zeaxanthin, lutein and β-cryptoxanthin. carotenoids such as capsanthin, capsorubin and capsanthin-5,6-epoxide confer the red colors. chromoplasts are the sites of carotenoid pigment synthesis and storage.
