Studies on the Materials of Processed Foods
Effects of Red Pepper on the Formation of Konnyaku

Abstract

　 Some processed foods are necessary for our dining table. Japanese "Konnyaku" is an elastic solid, this paste which made from the arum root of potatoes called as Konnyaku Imo is congealed by calcium hydroxide. Red pepper is a hot seasoning, it has been expected to be a healthful food by recent studies. When red pepper was added to paste made from the arum root, the elasticity of paste was low and hard to solidify. By addition of red pepper, the gel strength was decreased. The hardness in the formation of konnyaku had no connection with the pungent taste, salty and PH. Red pepper made in Korea among other kinds of red pepper was not so hot and bright red, but it was the most loosely in the formation of Konnyaku. Glucomannan was a main ingredient of Konnyaku, it was very important for the gelation of konnyaku. in order to hinder its from solidifying. It was suggested that the gelation of glucomannan were hindered by the strong affinity of some ingredients except capsaicin involved in Korean red pepper.
