Abstract

The elemental composition of twenty hot pepper (Capsicum spp. L.) collections obtained from eight distinct agroecological locations across Ghana, were assessed by Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis. The hot peppers fruits that were analysed contained five macroelements, Ca, Cl, K, Mg, Na, two microelements, Al, and Mn, and one trace element, Br. One collection from Volta region and three collections from the Northern region revealed elevated sodium contents in their fruits. In addition, the levels of Aluminium, Bromine, Calcium, Potassium and Sodium in fruits were found to be strongly positively correlated.
