The main purpose of the present study was toinvestigate the influence of genotypes on the volatile, flavonoid-related compounds and antioxidant capacities of chilli peppers. A set of 49 volatiles were identified in the chilli peppers using gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS). The flavonoid-related profiles were established by the simultaneous LC-MS measurement of 38 compounds. The results of chemometrics analysis reveal that Jize and Korean chilli peppers can be distinctly separated from each other. A panel of 18 volatile and 13 flavonoid-related variables with VIP > 1 and p < 0.05 were determined as the discriminants for Jize and Korean chilli peppers. Moreover, Korean chilli peppers showed significantly (p < 0.05) higher antioxidant activity than Jize chilli peppers. A clear and positive correlation was observed between the antioxidant potential and individual flavonoid compounds. The current findings could facilitate the valorization of chilli peppers as bioactive and functional ingredients at various commercial levels.
