Abstract
The optimum recipe of persimmon chokochujang using persimmon vinegar and kochujang was established by four-dimensional response surface methodology. The organoleptic color of persimmon chokochujang showed maximum score in 18.16g of persimmon vinegar, 5.58g of garlic and 1.62 g of sucrose. The organoleptic aroma of persimmon chokochujang showed macimum score in 18.19g of persimmon vinegar, 4.57g of garlic and 2.06g of sucrose. The organoleptic taste of persimmon chokochujang showed maximum score in 19.28g of persimmon vinegar, 4.97g of garlic and 2.34g of sucrose. The organoleptic color of persimmon chokochujang showed maximum score in 18.81g of persimmon vinegar, 4.81g of garlic and 2.65g of sucrose. Optimum mixing ranges for organoleptic properties of persimmon chokkochujang were 18.25~19.25g of persimmon vinegar, 4.60~5.00g of garlic and 2.06~2.65g of sucrose.
