Chilli or hot
pepper (Capsicum
annuum L.,) is economically most important and valuable spice
and vegetable
crop throughout the world. Chilli is native to New Mexico and
the Portuguese introduced chillies in Indo-Pak subcontinent from Brazil in 16th
century. India is the world’s largest producer, consumer and exporter of
chillies in the world, contributing 40% of the total world production. Other
major chillies producing countries are China, Bangladesh, and Peru.
Chili seed essential oil is
derived from the steam distillation of hot pepper seeds. The result is a
semi-viscous dark red essential oil known as chili seed oil. It has wonderful
therapeutic properties including the ability to stimulate blood circulation making
it especially beneficial for healing wounds and aiding in hair growth by
delivering vital nutrients to the scalp.
Peppers were one of the earliest
plants cultivated in the New World. Archeological evidence suggests that
peppers were used as food ingredients in Peru more than 8,000 years ago.
Columbus mistakenly applied the label ‘pepper’ to the plant he found growing in
Caribbean gardens, likely confusing it with the highly prized but botanically
unrelated black pepper. Within 100 years, peppers had spread around the world
and today constitute the defining ingredient in traditional cuisines worldwide,
including countries such as Italy, Thailand, Hungary, India, Spain, China and
Holland.
Botanically, most cultivated peppers today are Capsicum annuum (most common), C. frutescens (tabasco), C. chinense (habanero), or crosses within and among these various species.

to infect chilli resulting in heavy yield losses. Mostly, the viruses are
spread or transmitted by infected seeds,
insects and or by the mechanical tools. Most of the viral
diseases are difficult to diagnose due to significant overlap of
symptomatology. Symptoms produced by different viruses are mosaic pattern on
leaves, yellowing, ring spots, leaf deformation, curling of leaves, and
stunting of plants.

Essence of Chili Seed
Essential Oil
Peppers form a significant part
of the human diet in many parts of the world. Fruits are consumed in fresh,
cooked, or processed forms. Fresh peppers are often used in salads. Chilies are
also sold as frozen, canned, dried (whole or crushed pieces), and pickled
fruit. Fruit is also processed into various fermented products, powders,
sauces, curry pastes, and salsas. Dried chilies are often ground into powders
and added into various culinary preparations and other dishes. Fresh or dried
chilies are also used to make hot sauce. Chili in the form of powder or paste
is a vital ingredient of Indian curries. Fresh market types, such as bell,
Cuban, and squash,
are usually non-pungent and eaten raw or stir-fried.

unique addition to cosmetic applications, personal care formulations, soaps,
perfumery, incense, candles, and aromatherapy.
