Hot pepper fruits, 'Sekye No.1' were harvested at different growth stages and stored at the temperatures of 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 deg C. Colour development in the harvested fruits was periodically monitored at these storage temperatures. The rate of fruit decay increased with elevating the storage temperature. The 100% coloured red fruits of hot pepper, 'Sekye No.1' were most rapidly developed at 25 deg C storage condition. The capsaicinoid contents of 100% coloured red fruits were highest at 30 deg C and lowest at 25 deg C. The capsaicine and beta -carotene contents of 100% coloured red fruits of hot pepper, 'Sekye No.1' were highest when stored at 15 deg C, while there were no significant differences in those contents among the other temperature treatments. In addition, the contents of cryptoflavin and cryptocapsin were highest at 15 and 25 deg C, respectively. However, the capsanthin content was not significantly different among the temperature treatments.
