“…Because of its high coloring capacity, and in some cases its peculiar pungency, paprika is used to modify the color and flavor of soups, stews, sausage, cheese, snacks, salad dressing, sauces, pizza, and confectionary products, among others (Nieto-Sandoval, Fernandez-Lopez, Almela, & Munoz, 1999). According to a report by Buckenhü skes (2001), the annual world production of paprika and paprika oleoresins was approximately 60,000 tons and 1400 tons, respectively.…”

“…Considering that the ASTA value is an indication of the total carotenoids content, the reflected color degradation in the paprika samples was thus not only related with the carotenoids decomposition. Likewise, in a previous research, there was a very poor positive linear correlation between CIELab color parameter and ASTA values of paprika (Nieto-Sandoval et al, 1999).…”

High-temperature short-time (HTST) treatments have been used to destroy the bioburden of paprika. With this in mind, we have designed a device to treat samples of paprika with a gas whose temperature, pressure, and composition can be selected. Temperatures and treatment times ranged from 130 to 170 degrees C and 4 to 6 s, respectively. The survival of the most commonly found microorganisms in paprika and any alteration in extractable and superficial color were examined. Data showed that the optimum HTST conditions were 145 degrees C, 1.5 kg/cm2 of overpressure, 6 s operation time, and a thermal fluid of saturated steam. No microbial growth was detected during storage after thermal treatment. To minimize the color losses, treated (HTST) paprika samples should be kept under refrigeration.
“…The reflected colour has been used for the evaluation of food colour and the measurements can be related to sensorial perception and chemical characteristics . The extractable colour (ASTA) procedure enables measurement of total carotenoids.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
