The color stability and quality changes of red pepper powder of various initial moisture content (7%, 10%, and 13%) and packaged with different materials, low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and nylon layered polyethylene (Ny/PE) film pouches or plastic and glass bottles, were compared during storage at 20 °C for 126 days. In the 7% moisture content sample packaged in LDPE film and plastic bottles, the L* and b*-values increased from 48.2 ± 0.7 and 15.4 ± 1.1 to 65.2–65.9 and 29.5–30.3, respectively, while the a*-value decreased from 26.1 ± 0.7 to 14.2–15.9, indicating a noticeable color change from red to orange. However, the decrease in the capsaicinoid and free sugar content of red pepper powder over time was found to have no significant correlation with moisture content and packaging type. As a result, the color change during the long-term storage of red pepper powder was greatly influenced by the initial moisture content and gas permeability of the packaging material.
