. Alongside with the use of fresh cut hot pepper in daily consumption, there is also feasible obtaining various new products from the pepper in production areas. Moreover, pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) seeds can be used as additional raw materials. Because of research conducted in recent years, it has been established that the oils obtained from pepper seeds have the potential to become a source of protein due to their rich composition and nutritional value. According to the qualitative analysis (nutritional, chemical, antioxidant properties) of pepper seed oil, it has been established that it is a high-quality edible oil and fits perfectly as a component for use in the food industry and other industries, namely pharmaceutical, chemical, cosmetic industry. The literature review presented in this article revealed the high quality of oils extracted from the seeds of two peppers (Mumtoz and Tillarang peppers) grown in one region (Bukhara region, Uzbekistan), which can lead the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry to develop new products based on economics.
