**4. Conclusion**

The major *Capsicum* species commercially important in Indonesia are *C. annuum* and *C. frutescens*. Cultivars from *C. chinense* and *C. pubescens* were rarely found in the market and can be considered exotic and mostly cultivated for ornaments. *Capsicum* is profoundly intertwined and inseparable from Indonesian culture, from food and pharmaceuticals to ornaments with many variations of the products. The market is still exceptionally receptive to innovations to transform and include *Capsicums* in the products. The variety of *Capsicums* in Indonesia and the potential applications combined with prospective market also make the field of flavor and bioactive compounds of *Capsicums* in Indonesia attractive to be investigated.
