This study was carried out in order to evaluate the effects of paprika powder on bread quality. Breads were prepared with the addition of 0%, 2.5%, 5.0%, 7.5% and 10.0% of paprika powder based on wheat flour. The weight of breads with paprika powder ranged from 526.5~537.3 g; that of the control was 525.0 g. The volume of the breads prepared by adding paprika powder was 1946.1~2114.3 mL, whereas that of the control was 2144.4 mL. The height, specific volume and baking loss rate of breads with added paprika powder decreased with the addition of paprika powder. The hardness, springiness, cohesiveness and chewiness increased with the addition of paprika powder. The Hunter L values of breads decreased, whereas a and b values increased. The sensory quality of the paprika powder breads tested by color, moistness and chewiness was better than that of the control. In particular, the overall acceptability of the bread with the addition of 5.0% paprika powder had the best quality.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of sponge cakes with addition of paprika powders prepared from different cultivars. Powders from the special cultivar(FDFP: freeze dried fiesta paprika powder) and the fiesta cultivar(FDFP: freeze dried fiesta paprika powder) were used. The specific gravities, viscosities, heights, specific volumes, colors, textures and sensory evaluations of cake dough containing 2, 4 and 6%(all w/w) paprika powders were measured. Specific gravity and viscosity tended to increase on addition of paprika powder. Cake height and specific volume tended to decrease on addition of paprika powder. Substitution of paprika powder for flour also resulted in decreased yellowness and lightness, and increased redness, of the cake crust. The hardness of cakes containing paprika powders was higher than that of control cakes without paprika powders. Thecolor of the cake crust became darker as the amount of paprika powder increased. The results of sensory evaluation by quantitative descriptive analysis showed that the overall acceptability of sponge cakes containing 4% paprika powder, from either cultivar, was higher than that of control cakes without paprika powder.

This study was performed to determine the antioxidant activity of the oven-dried paprika powder as affected by the color differences of paprika and to evaluate physicochemical characteristics and antioxidant activity of pork patties with various levels of paprika powders. The total phenolic contents of the paprika were not affected by color and solvent (p>0.05). The methanol extracted paprika powder showed higher DPPH radical scavenging activity than water extracted counterpart, and no differences were observed at concentration of 0.5% as compared to the reference (ascorbic acid) (p>0.05). In all treatments, the iron chelating ability increased with increasing concentrations. At a concentration of 1.0%, methanol extracts of orange paprika (MOP) and water extracts of red paprika (WRP) were not different from the reference, (ethylendiaminetetraacetic acid, EDTA). The paprika color and extraction solvent didn't affect reducing power of paprika powder at each concentration (p>0.05). Pork patties with red paprika powder were higher redness values than those with orange ones, regardless of addition level. The addition of red paprika increased the yellowness, and patties with 1.0% orange paprika powder showed the highest value. TBARS values were decreased with increasing paprika powder, especially, patties with 1.0% paprika powder were lower TBARS than those with 0.5% paprika powder, resulting in similar to those with ascorbic acid (p>0.05). Although the microbial counts increased with storage time, paprika powders did not inhibit microorganisms during storage. In conclusion, paprika powders could be used as a natural antioxidant in meat products, regardless of paprika color.

Physicochemical and sensory characteristics of Kakdugi substituted red pepper powder with red paprika powder during fermentation at 1$0^{\circ}C$ were compared with those of the control. The fermentation patterns of two Kimchies were similar. While the pH and the acidity of the control were 3.88 and 0.691%(as lactic acid), respectively, those of paprika, 3.85 and 0.690%(as lactic acid), respectively on the 10th day of fermentation, which is the optimal ripe time. Reducing sugar content and Lactobacilli number of paprika Kakdugi were higher than those of the control. The hardness and fracturability of Kakdugi radish were not significantly different from those of the control during fermentation. The Hunter color L, a and b values of both Kakdugies increased gradually until l0th day and then decreased. The a and ASTA value of paprika Kakdugi was higher than that of control, which is consistent with the results of sensory evaluation. Capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin analyzed by HPLC were not detected in paprika Kakdugi. Sensory evaluation (unstructured scale, 10 points) showed the score of hot taste f3r paprika Kakdugi was lower than that of the control(p<0.05), whereas the score of over-all acceptabillity for paprika Kakdugi(8.0) was higher than those of control(6.1).

The objectives of this study were to examine changes in the color and antioxidant compounds of paprika powder under various conditions, as well as to establish the suitable conditions for drying and storage. Paprika was dried using the following methods: freeze-drying, vacuum drying, far infrared-ray drying, and hot-air drying. Measurements of the moisture content, color pigments, and antioxidant compounds (total carotenoids, capsanthin, ascorbic acid, and total polyphenols) were completed during 120 days of storage at 4 and $30^{\circ}C$. We found that drying methods, storage temperatures, and packaging materials affected the American Spice Trade Association (ASTA) and Hunter color values, as well as the antioxidant content of paprika powder. There was a high correlation (r=0.87, p<0.01) between the ASTA color and the $a^*/b^*$ value. The loss of red color was closely related to the reduction of moisture content (r=0.81, p<0.01) during storage. Drying paprika with a low temperature in the absence of air resulted in better retention of the carotenoids and ascorbic acid. Also, as the retention of the carotenoids and ascorbic acid increased, the stability of the red pigment increased. Freeze-drying was found to be the most suitable drying method for the stability of the antioxidant compounds and red pigment.

This study investigated quality characteristics of wet noodles with addition of paprika powder prepared by different cultivars, freeze dried Special paprika powder (FDSP) and freeze dried Fiesta paprika powder (FDFP) at 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0% based on flour source, respectively. The wet noodles containing paprika powder exhibited higher values for cooked weight, volume, water absorption, and turbidity. When the amount of FDSP increased, the Hunter L (lightness) value of cooked noodles decreased but a (redness) value and b (yellowness) value increased. When the amount of FDFP increased, the Hunter L (lightness) and a (redness) value of cooked noodles decreased but b (yellowness) value increased. From textural properties measured by a texture analyzer, the noodles with paprika powder were significantly lower in hardness, cohesiveness, springiness, gumminess and chewiness than those of 100% wheat noodle. The results of sensory evaluation of cooked noodles containing paprika powder indicated that the cooked noodles with 1.0% paprika powder showed the highest value.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of supplemental medicinal herb mixture, laver powder and paprika powder in extruded pellet (EP) on growth and feed utilization of juvenile olive flounder. Triplicate groups of fish (average body weight of 19.6 g) were fed four experimental EPs containing 0.2% medicinal herb mixture (MHM), 1% laver powder (LP), 1% paprika powder (PP) and without supplementation (CON) for 9 weeks. Weight gain, daily feed intake, hepatosomatic index and condition factor were not influenced by dietary additives. Peed efficiency and protein efficiency ratio of flounder fed the diet containing laver powder were significantly higher than those of fish fed the medicinal herb mixture and paprika powder (P<0.05), but not significantly different from control group. The results of this study suggest that all tested additives in the dietary formulation did not affect growth and feed utilization of olive flounder.

This study investigated the effect of supplement of the pigment source in diets on body color for round tailed paradise fish Macropodus chinensis and the pale chub Zacco platypus. Fish (the round tailed paradise fish: 1.6 g/ fish, pale chub: 2.4 g/fish) were fed diets containing various pigment sources (Porphyra powder, Spirulina powder. yeast astaxanthin and paprika extract) twice a day for 6 weeks. Survival of all treatments was above 80%. Weight gain and total carotenoid contents of round tailed paradise fish fed the diet containing Porphyra powder was higher than that of fish fed the other diets. The apparent redness of skin and fin in round tailed paradise fish fed the diets containing paprika extract and yeast astaxanthin was better than that of fish fed the diets containing Porphyra powder, Spirulina powder and the control diet. Weight gain and total carotenoid contents of pale chub fed the diet containing paprika extract were higher than that of fish fed the containing Porphyra powder, yeast astaxanthin, Spirulina powder and the control diet. The apparent redness of skin and fin in pale chub fed the diets containing parika extract and yeast astaxanthin was better than that of fish fed the diets containing Porphyra powder, Spirulina and the control diet. The results of this study suggest that dietary supplementation with paprika extract and yeast astaxanthin can improve redness of skin and fin of round tailed paradise fish and pale chub.

This study was conducted to investigate the antioxidant activity of paprika in the lard-pork model system adding ground fresh paprika (3%) and paprika powders (5%). Paprika powders were obtained through 4 drying methods (freeze, vacuum, far infrared-ray, and hot-air). In the lard and meat-fat mixture (containing lard 30%) containing paprika powders, the rate of increase in the peroxide value (POV) and thiobarbituric acid (TBA) value decreased notably during the refrigerated storage ($4^{\circ}C$) compared to the control without paprika. Therefore, paprika powders showed potent antioxidant activity and especially the freeze dried paprika powder revealed the most effective activity among them. However, its antioxidant activity was still lower than that of the fresh paprika because the addition of fresh paprika in the lard and meat-fat mixture merely increased the POV and TBA value. In linoleic acid oxidation, the addition of capsanthin 500 ppm to mixed linoleic acid and 10 ppm of $FeCl_3$ (LF) inhibited the formation of peroxides by 15.2% compared to LF, showing its iron scavenging ability. When mixed antioxidants (${\beta}$-carotene 200 ppm + ascorbic acid 100 ppm, capsanthin 200 ppm + ascorbic acid 100 ppm) were added in LF, synergistic effects were obtained with 57.7 and 60.4% of inhibition of peroxide formation, respectively.
