Research on the pigment content in various apple tree varieties, treated with capsicoside

Abstract

Furostanol glycoside represents a natural substance belonging to the class of saponines. Capsicoside , one of them, is found in Capsicum annuum seeds and it was obtained by the alcoholic extraction from pepper seeds. It is a bioactive substance of vegetal origin, having a wide range of biological activities, especially antiviral and antifungal properties. The goal of the present paper was to promote this bioactive compound and to evaluate its biological activity. The influence of the plant compound with steroidal glycoside structure was studied on the plantation of apple trees. The treatments consisted in spraying the aqueous solution of Capsicoside, at different doses and ways of using. The results of the experiments pointed out the positive effects of the influence of steroidal glycosides on the growth and quality development of apple trees.
