The research concerns the study of the ability to maintain nutritional and commercial quality to peppers in differenttemperature storage conditions. During the three years of experimentation were used varieties: 'Buzau 10’, 'Galbensuperior’ and 'Bianca’. These were stored after proper preparation, at ambient temperature (+20 ... +22°C),refrigerated (+10 ... +12°C) and cold (+3 ... +5°C). The duration of storage, the weight (mass) and losses degradationand evolution of chemical components caused by the 9 variants yielded conclusive conclusions to 'Galben superior’ and'Bianca’ cultivars for which experimental three-year cycle. It was found that the losses observed during storage areinfluenced by storage temperature and climatic conditions for the development of cultivars that have variedsignificantly in the three years of experimentation. The experimental variants were considered existing conditions in thefamily farms.
