Chili pepper (Capsicum spp.) is a widely used ingredient in global gastronomy, valued for its flavor, aroma, and bioactive compound content[1]. Its aromatic profile results from a mixture of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), whose composition can vary depending on the species, cultivation conditions, and processing. Accurate characterization of these compounds is essential to understanding their sensory properties and potential applications[2,3].References
