The defects consisted of non-standard fruit such as uneven skill color, fallen pedicel, 4.5 cm-shorten fruit, and bent fruit.Furthermore, chilli from the field had the lowest withered fruit and pedicel and the highest damaged from anthracnose disease and fruit fly larva.After determining food-borne pathogen, it was revealed that fruit had the highest total coliform but the lowest faecal coliform. There were no Salmonella spp. contamination in all treatments. The result revealed that the chemical residue of triazophos in organophosphate group was found in all treatments higher than the established guideline (<0.01 ppm).
