- Capsicum chinense var. Biquinho presents a strong aroma without the burning pepper sensation. Headspace volatile compounds were isolated by SPME and analyzed by GC-FID, GC-MS, and GC-O. The major compounds profile showed similarity to the profile of spicier peppers, but several minor compounds presented high importance to Biquinho’s characteristic flavor. Aromagram showed 72 compounds; where α-cardinol, heptylisopentanoate, p-xylene, isohexanol, hexyl butanoate, and (Z)-3-hexenyl pentanoate may be potential markers for the sweet and mild pepper flavor of Biquinho. In future, genetic materials of other chili peppers may have crosses with this pepper, which will improve their sensory characteristics.

- Brazilian geneticists are developing aromatic peppers that, besides their burning sensation, can also add flavor to foods. In this work, the volatile profiles of two new genotypes, CNPH 3931 and CNPH 4080, were compared to the profile of Orange Biquinho pepper, a very scented but not pungent Brazilian variety. Headspace volatile compounds were isolated by SPME and identified by GC-MS. The new genotypes presented very similar volatile profiles, with fewer compounds but higher volatile quantity when compared to Biquinho. They lack some important compounds to Biquinho’s aroma, but the presence of other esters can add a variety of desirable notes. These CNPH peppers were shown to be promising materials.

- A robust scale capable of assessing illness-related experiential avoidance (EA) in any given medical condition is currency lacking. Further, there is no available measure that assesses EA related to illness behaviours, i.e., actions and/or reactions in relation to feeling unwell that have the purpose of defining one's state of health and obtaining physical or emotional relief from perceived or actual illness. This study intends to fill this significant gap by presenting the development and psychometric test of a measure of EA related to illness behaviour, the Illness Behaviour Avoidance Scale (IBAS). A total of 370 Portuguese adults with chronic illness participated in the study. The structure and validity of the IBAS was tested through an Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA; n = 185), a Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA; n = 185), and reliability analyses. The IBAS presented a 7-item unifactorial structure, with good global (CMIN/DF = 2.08; CFI = 0.97; TLI = 0.94; SRMR = 0.04; RMSEA = 0.08, p = 0.139) and local adjustments (SRWs 0.56-0.73; SMCs 0.31-0.53). It also presented a good internal consistency (with alpha s = 0.82), and construct and discriminant validity. The IBAS appears to be a significant improvement from the use of previous EA measures in illness contexts. This scale can provide a measurement of whether the behavioural response to any given condition is a manifestation of EA.
