Abstract

Characteristics of good-quality red pepper powder produced using $N_{2}$-circulated low-temperature drying method were compared with those made through conventional sun and hot-air drying methods. Kimchi and kochujang were prepared with different types of red pepper powder, and their physicochemical and sensory properties were compared. Results revealed Hunter L (lightness), a (redness), and b (yellowness) values of $N_{2}$-circulated low temperature-dried red pepper were highest. Absorbance of crude capsanthin in hot air-dried red pepper powder ($0.584{\pm}0.001$) was significantly lower than sun-dried ($0.848{\pm}0.001$) and $N_{2}$-circulated low temperature-dried products ($0.832{\pm}0.002$. Use of $N_{2}$-circulated low-temperature drying method resulted in the highest amounts at reducing sugar and total vitamin C. Capsaicin content of $N_{2}$-circulated low temperature-dried products were higher than hot air-dried ones. The aL values of kochujaug made with sun-and low temperature-dried red peppers were higher than that of kochujang made with hot-dried red peppers. Physicochemical and sensory evaluation results showed red pepper powders made using $N_{2}$-circulated low-temperature drying method have the best quality among all samples tested.
