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.

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
