Due to its beneficial properties, the charapita chili pepper (Capsicum frutenses), which contains capsaicinoid compounds, has regained great importance and is used in the innovation of drugs and for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antitumor properties. In recent years, one of the most outstanding methods for the extraction of these compounds is using Supercritical Carbon Dioxide because it tolerates low temperatures, extracting compounds without leaving any trace of the solvent in the samples. In the present work, the overall yield, phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity of charapita bell pepper (Capsicum frutescens) obtained by supercritical CO2 extraction were compared. The extraction procedure was optimized by analyzing the results of temperatures (40, 50 and 60 °C) and pressures (150, 200 and 250 bar). It was established that the ideal conditions for the yield of charapita chili pepper (Capsicum frutescens) extracts were found at low temperatures, the highest peak was 10.86 % extracted at 40 °C and 250 bar. Regarding the amount of phenolic component, the highest extraction (4.847 mgr. EAG/gr.) was found at 40 ° C, 250 Bar. The antioxidant activity was analyzed by the ABTS and DPPH methods, where it was possible to determine higher antioxidant activity by the ABTS method. The antioxidant activity by the DPPH method was 0.020 µmol TE/g dry matter, which was found at two points of the extraction (40°C, 250 bar and 60 ° C, 250 bar) and by ABTS was 8.108 µmol TE/g dry matter (60 ° C, 200 bar pressure).
