Total soluble solids (TSS) in °Brix (°Bx) were measured using a digital refractometer (Rx-7000i, ATAGO Instruments Pvt. Ltd. India) at 20 °C. The capsicum samples were crushed in mortar and pestle. The juice was extracted and filtered using the muslin cloth. One-two drops of transparent and clear juice of samples were kept on the surface of the prism, and the readings were recorded (Rao et al. 29).
