오징어젓갈을 5$^{circ}C$, 15$^{circ}C$및 $25^{circ}C$에 보존하면서 관능품위의 변화를 측정한 결과, 5$^{circ}C$에서 보존하였을 때는 일반고춧 가루사용 오징어젓갈에 비해 살균고춧가루사용 오징어젓갈의 품질변화가 안정적이었다. 그러나 보존온도가 증가할 수록 품질변화의 차이가 적어져, $25^{circ}C$에서 보존하였을 때는 거의 차이가 없었다. 생균수는 5$^{circ}C$에서 보관 60일째까지 서서히 증가하는 양상을 보였으나, 15$^{circ}C$에서는 일반고춧가루사용 오징어젓갈의 경우 30일경에 약 $10^{8}$ CFU/g에 달하였고, $25^{circ}C$에서는 일반고춧가루사용 오징어젓갈이 15일경에, 살균고춧가루사용 오징어젓갈이 30일경에 약 $10^{8}$ CFU/g으로 살균고춧가루사용 오징어젓갈이 일반고춧가루사용 오징어젓갈보다 생균수의 증가속도가 느렸다. pH, VBN, 아미노태질소 및 암모니아태질소의 변화를 살펴보면 5$^{circ}C$에서는 두 시료간에 큰 차이가 있었으나, 보존온도가 증가할 수록 차이가 적어져 $25^{circ}C$에서 보관하였을 때는 거의 차이가 없었다. 관능검사결과로 분석해 볼 때 pH는 약 5.5, VBN은 약 80mg%에서부터 젓갈로서의 가치를 상실하는 것으로 판단되었다. 일반고춧가루사용 오징어젓갈의 주요 유리아미노산은 glutamic acid, leucine, glycine, aspartic acid 및 alanine으로 전체 유리아미노산에 대해 47.95%를 차지하였으나, 살균고춧가루사용 오징어젓갈은 glutamic acid, glycine, aspartic acid, leucine 및 Iysine으로 57.58%를 차지하였다.
In this study, ohmic heating was applied for pasteurization of red pepper pow-der, and investigated its pasteurization effect. After pasteurization, seasoned squid-jeotkal was manufactured by using red pepper powder, and its quality changes were investigated. On com-paring sensory evaluation in squid-jeotkal by pasteurized and conventional red pepper powder during storage at 5, 16 and $25^{circ}C$, quality changes in squid-jeotkal by the pasteurized red pepper powder. But quality change difference between two products were decrease with increasing stor-age temperature. Viable cell counts in two products stored at 5$^{circ}C$ were increased slowly until 60 days. Viable cell counts in squid-jeotkal by conventional red pepper powder were increased up to ca. 10$^{8}$ CFU/g at 15, 25 $^{circ}C$ after 30, 15 days, respectively, but that by pasteurized were ca. 10$^{8}$ CFU/g at $25^{circ}C$ after 30 days. Changes in pH, VBN and NH$_2$-N in two products were shown difference significantly, but were decreased by increasing storage temperature. In squid-jeotkal by conventional red pepper powder, the main free amino acids were glutamic acid, leucine, glycine, aspartic acid and alanine, and these amino acids held 47.95% of the total free amino acid. But in squid-jeotkal by pasteurized red pepper powder, glutamic acid, glycine, aspartic acid, leucine and Iysine, and these amino acids held 57.58% of the total free amino acids.
