Abstract

To investigate physico-chemical changes of mashed red repper and red pepper powder during frozen storage, we analyzed the quality of samples after mashing, mashing and blanching, mashing and addition of vitamin C, mashing and addition of NaCl. The most important quality factor of red pepper is red color. $\alpha$ value of red pepper powder of Pochungchun was 31.51. These results showed that those processing methods were effective to preserve red color. Capsanthin contents of mashed red pepper treated with vitamin C were decreased 1.8% after 180 days of frozen storage. This decrease was the least, showing that addition of vitamin C helped retaining capsanthin contents. Capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin contents in Pochungchun powder ore decreased 11.9 and 18.3% during frozen storage respectively. These results showed that capsaicin was more stable than dihycrocapsaicin during frozen storage. Generally capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin in the Pochungchun red pepper frozen-stored after mashing were less decreased than red pepper powder, and addition of vitamin C to the mashed red pepper was the most effective to retain capsicin and dihydrocapsaicin than others. The content of vitamin C in the red pepper frozen-stored after masking and blanching was 12.0 mg/100g, compared with 44.0 mg/100g in the sample stored after only mashing. This suggested that blanching process destroyed vitamin C in the mashed red pepper. Addition of salt in the mashed red pepper showed the same inclination. But, addition of vitamin C to the mashed red pepper was decreased 32.9% compared with 69.0% in the mashed red repper during frozen storage. Theser results indicated that addition of vitamin C could retain vitamin C in the mashed red lopper.

마쇄처리 고추를 냉동 저장하면서 그 이화학적 변화 및 이용 방법을 연구하기 위하여 포청천을 태양건조후 고춧가루로 만든 것과 마쇄한 다음 브렌칭, 비타민 C 첨가, NaCl 첨가, aging 처리 등을 하고 냉동저장하면서 품질변화를 비교하였다. L, a, b값 가운데 적색도를 나타내는 a값이 포청천의 경우 기존 고춧가루의 31.51에 비하여 마쇄처리 고추는 모두 $33.53{\sim}33.84$로 마쇄처리한 것이 적색도가 좋았다. Capsanthin 함량은 마쇄 냉동저장시 비타민 C 첨가구가 1.8% 감소하여 비타민 C 첨가가 capsanthin 함량유지에 도움이 됨을 알 수 있었다. 매운맛 성분인 capsaicin과 dihydrocapsaicin은 냉동저장중 고춧가루의 경우 11.9%, 18.32% 감소하여 dihydrocapsaicin이 capsaicin 보다 빠르게 감소되었으며 전반적으로 마쇄 냉동저장한 것이 고춧가루보다 신미성분의 감소가 적었다. 마쇄처리 고추에서는 비타민 C를 첨가한 것이 capsaicin과 dihydrocapsaicin의 감소가 가장 적게 나타났다. 비타민 C는 마쇄고추를 브렌칭할 때 잔존량이 12.0 mg/100 g으로 마쇄고추의 44.0 mg/100 g에 비하여 파괴가 가장 많이 일어났으며 NaCl 첨가구의 경우도 13.2 mg/100 g으로 비슷하였다. 그러나 비타민 C를 첨가한 경우는 52.0 mg/100 g이 잔존하였고 냉동저장시 마쇄고추의 69.0%에 비하여 32.9%가 감소하여 비타민 C 첨가가 고추에 함유된 비타민 C 유지에 도움이 되었다.
