AB [EN] Bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L.), one of the most consumed vegetables worldwide, showsgreat differences between its diverse varieties. These differences affect the fruit type, size and shape.Food preservation techniques prolong the availability of sweet pepper. Roasted pepper is a productmarketed with the European recognition of Protected Geographical Indication ‘Pimiento Asado delBierzo’. The objective of this work was to analyse the effect of the fruit weight and fruit locule numberof the industrial fresh pepper on quality and roasted pepper yield. Large trilocular fruits and largetetralocular fruits reached higher roast yield and uniformity than small trilocular fruits. Regardlessof fruit locule number and fruit weight, the overall quality of all the samples of roasted pepper wascategorised as very good. Large tetralocular and large trilocular fruits are the most appropriatepeppers for industrial purposes, whereas small trilocular fruits should be intended for the freshproduct market. This easy method of sorting bell pepper fruit attending to fruit weight will decreasethe amount of pepper waste in the industrial roasting process (around 18%), while maintaining thehigh overall quality of the final product. Moreover, the faster peeling of large peppers will alsocontribute to increasing the productivity of the industrial processing of roasted pepper
