In the experiment, California Wonder type peppers were dipped into hot water at 48 and 53 oC for 3 minutes. After hot water dip treatments all peppers were stored at 8 oC with 90-92 % relative humidity for 32 days. During the storage period, various chemical and physical analyses, weight loss, soluble solids, titretable acidity and fruit color changes were performed on the fruit by taking from cold storage at 8 days intervals. The results showed that dipping of peppers into hot water at 48 oC for 3 minutes were positively effected on controlling decays. Keywords : California Wonder, Pepper, Hot Water Dip Treatment, Storage
