Notes:
: The levels of capsaicinoids and carotenoids and ASTA color values in Korean red pepper powders (Capsicum annuum, L.) were 10.54-250.87mg/100g, 187-335mg/100g, and 64.55-124.07, respectively. The investigation of decoloring effects caused by sunlight exposure was carried out over 42 d. ASTA color values, which had been 18.35-64.56, were decreased by more than 50% after 42 d. During sunlight exposure, the L* value was increased, and a* and b* values were decreased in colorimetric values. The a* value showed a markedly decrease. Properties like higher C* values and lower h̊ab and δE*ab values can be regarded as very effective parameters for the convenient assessment of color quality in red pepper powder.
