Chili is one of the important spice crops. Chili is a fruit of the plant ‘Capsicum annuum and capsicum frutecens’ that come from the genus capsicum belonging to the family of Solanaceae. Mundu Chili is a round shaped Chili which is grown in ramnad district in tamilnadu, India. It is also called as ramnad S9 red mundu Chili. Ramnad red mundu S9 Chili has a good flavor and aroma, exported worldwide. Also, Used for food coloring. CO2 Chili fruits are thick and red in color. They are used for both green and dry pod Chilies. They have high seed content and high pungency level. This paper clearly explains the difference in ramnad mundu Chilies and its hybrid variety PMK 1 which is a cross of ramnad mundu and CO2. The results taken were ph, total soluble solids and titratable acidity. The result was taken for every 10 days till it deteriorates. The total soluble solids of ramnad S9 red mundu, CO2, PMK 1 ranges from 1-4 degree brix,1-5 degree brix , 1-5 degree brix. The titratable acidity of ramnad S9 red mundu, CO2, PMK 1 1.3%-0.73%, 1.2%-0.70%, 1.2%-0.75%. The pH value of ramnad S9 red mundu, CO2, PMK 1 ranges from 5.4-4.5, 5.2-4.3, 5.4-4.6.
