Abstract
The study attempted to investigate the variation in the quality of the yellow paprika according to the duration of the yellow paprika and to use the basic materials for the development of various processed foods. The moisture content of dried paprika was 11.19% on the freeze-drying paprika (FD), and the amount of water was increased by 18.19% on the 15th day of the storage cycle. The pH has been significantly changed depending on the length of the storage period, and the sugar content in FD. The acidity contents was increased during storage in all dried paprikas showed the highest acidity, but hot air-drying paprika(HAD) was lowest in the acidity. The L value was decreased during storage period from the paprika outside and inside. The a value was not significantly dependent on the length of storage period from paprika outside and inside, and the b value increased the during storage period from paprika outside and inside. The texture of strongness, hardness, chewiness, and brittleness were decreased during storage period from all drying paprika except for FD, showing the increasing trend in cohesiveness, springiness, chewiness, and brittleness. The total aerobes changes was the lowest in HAD.
