The low salt seasoned jeotkal, salted and fermented fisheries product, may has some problems, such as short shelf-life, its putrefaction by mining some microorganism from additives. It was considered that most microorganism in seasoned jeotkal were introduced from red pepper powder. Therefore, it is important to pasteurize red pepper powder for improving its microbial quality. When red pepper powder was pasteurized by ohmic heating, the survival cell concentration in red pepper powder was reduced to 1-log-unit at 500 V/m, 700 V/m, above 80℃. But viable cell counts were reduced from 8.5 × l0^6CFU/g to 2.1 × 10₂CFU/g, i.e. 4.6-log-unit, during ohmic heating at 90 for 40 min. Color values of red pepper powder during ohmic heating with different holding time were not changed significantly. When squid jeotkal was manufactured by using the pasteurized red pepper powder, viable cell counts of the product were decreased by about three log cycles, compare with control product. And also the counts of fungi were significantly decreased.
