In this study, bioactive compounds were extracted with aqueous ethanol from hot pepper peel residues, and the crude extract was divided into four fractions with ethyl ether, ethyl acetate and n-butanol in turn. The total phenolics (TP) and total flavonoids (TF) in the extract were analyzed, and the n-butanol fraction contained the highest TP and TF content, which was 13.45 mg gallic acid equivalents/g and 3.39 mg rutin equivalents/g, respectively. The antioxidant activity of the extract was evaluated by radical [2,2′-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl] scavenging assays. The results of the correlation analysis showed that the antioxidant activity was well correlated with the content of TP and TF (R² > 0.890). The antioxidant activity of individual antioxidant compound in the extract was evaluated using on-line HPLC-ABTS•⁺assay, and seven antioxidant compounds were identified using HPLC-DAD-MS ⁿ analyses. The main antioxidants identified were naringenin-7-glucoside, procyanidin dimer type B, quercetin-3-O-rhamnoside dimer, kaempferol-3-O-glucoside, kaempferol-3-O-rutinoside, quercetin-3-rutinoside and caffeic acid glycoside dimer. The results showed that hot pepper peel residues contained a certain amount of antioxidant compounds and had a potential application in food products.
