The Alaska Pollock (Gadus chalcogrammus) is distributed in an arc across the North Pacific Ocean. Distilled water extracts (DWE) and ethanol extracts (ETE) of 1.0 mg/ml concentrations of raw Alaska Pollock roe, premium Gochujang Pollock roe, and premium fermented Pollock roe seasoning were evaluated for estimated 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS), ferric reducing antioxidant potential (FRAP), and total phenolic content. The ABTS scavenging activity of the raw Alaska roe DWE and ETE were evaluated at 50.1% and 53.1%, respectively. The ABTS scavenging activity of the Gochujang roe DWE was 68.7% and of the ETE was 70.4%; for the fermented seasoning it was 71.3% and 71.6% for the DWE and ETE, respectively. The ABTS $EC_{50}$ values of the raw roe DWE and ETE were 12.49 ug/ml and 12.21 ug/ml, respectively. The FRAP $EC_{50}$ values of the Gochujang roe DWE and ETE were 10.67 ug/ml and 10.56 ug/ml, respectively, and the $EC_{50}$ values for total phenolic content for the fermented seasoning DWE and ETE were 10.45 ug/ml and 10.31 ug/ml, respectively. When Gallic was acid used as a control, the relative total phenolic content scavenging activity in each ETE was 52.0% (raw Alaska roe), 61.1% (Gochujang roe), and 63.6% (fermented seasoning). In the present study, higher ABTS, FRAP, and total phenolic content were observed in the Gochujang Pollock roe and fermented roe seasoning than in the Alaska Pollock roe.

Seasoning gochujang sauces were prepared with 0, 10, 20 and 30% concentrated heating chopped garlic (garlic base) and analyzed. These seasoning gochujang storage for 40 days at $37{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ and examined for changes in their physicochemical properties. Hunter color L and b-value of seasoning gochujang were decreased slowly till 20 days of storage then increased afterward. The highest pH of the seasoning gochujang was pH 5.22 in the 30% garlic base added group. The titratable acidity increase significantly till 40 days of storage. As the adding ratio of garlic base increased, reducing sugar content was decreased. The amino-nitrogen content was continually decreased during aging up to 40 days. ABTs radical scavenging activity was increased as garlic base addition level was increased. The activity was decreased with passing by storage period, and below 50% at 40 days storage.

This study focused on the evaluation of the quality and sensory characteristics of salad dressing prepared from soy powder (Gochujang), in order to increase the level of usability for the Gochujang which is the representative seasoning and spice of Korea. The moisture content and pH of the salad dressing increased in proportion to the increasing amount of soy powder (Gochujang) (p<0.001). Regarding the sugar and salt contents, 20% of the soy powder (Gochujang) shows $26.17^{\circ}Brix$, While the largest value for salt content was 4.8%, with a significant difference existing among varivous samples (p<0.001) As the added amount of soy powder (Gochujang) increased, the sugar content of the salad dressing increased with a statistically significant change (p<0.001). Regarding chromaticity, when soy powder (Gochujang) was added the levels of lightness and yellowness showed a decreasing tendency, and the level of redness showed an increasing tendency, with a significant difference existing among various samples(p<0.001). The results of a sensory showed that, as the amount of added soy powder (Gochujang) increased, the color intensity, Gochujang flavor, and hot taste increased (p<0.001). The results of a sensory showed that, as the amount of added soy powder (Gochujang) increased, the Salad dressing of the glossy, sour flavor, sour taste, and oily level decreased tendency (p<0.001). The results of an acceptance test showed that a 15% content of the soy powder (Gochujang)showed the greatest acceptance values in categories such as appearance, taste, texture, and overall acceptability. Therefore, when making a salad dressing with Gochujang, it is appropriate to add a 15% content of Gochujang to improve the quality and sensory characteristics of the salad dressing.

The purposes of this study were to investigate the eating status and to analyze expenditures of the traditional fermented foods. A structured questionnaire survey was conducted from 370 housewives in Jeonbuk province and there were 300 usable samples(81.1%) valid for analysis. For the statistical analysis, the data was analyzed by $x^2$-test using SPSSIPC 12.0 for windows. The results of this study were as follows : 1. In the investigation on the eating status of the traditional fermented foods, Kimchi showed highest intake frequency(over once a day) and next Doenjang, Gochujang, Ganjang were consumed $2\;{\sim}\;3$ times per week. Jeotgal and Jangajji consumption showed the significant difference frequencies between the age groups(p < 0.001). The frequencies of using the home-made fermented foods were either similar or decreased, while the manufactured products were either similar or increased. The reasons behind the decreasing consumption were 'because of appetite change(47.0%)', 'the effect of western food(25.2%)' and 'dislike of salty food(17.4%)'. 90.7%(Kimchi), 54.9%(Doenjang), 54.8%(Gochujang), 53.2%(Cheongkukjang) of respondents knew the methods of preparation, while 62.5%(Ganjang), 41.1%(Jeotgal,) 31.2%(Jangajji) of respondents didn't know the methods of preparation. 2. In the analysis of the expenditure for the purchasing of the traditional fermented foods, most of the respondents procured Kimchi, Doenjang, Gochujang from their families or relatives, but they bought Ganjang, Jeotgal, Jangajji in the markets. And most of the respondents bought the fermented foods in the general merchandise stores or the department store except Kimchi. The places of buying Kimchi were specialty stores(34.6%), general merchandise stores or department stores(25.0%). Overall scores of satisfaction for the quality of manufactured fermented foods showed 3.29 of 5 - point scales. The average cost per month of Kimchi was 19,550won and Gochujang 7,878won, Doenjang 5,764won, Jeotgal 5,439won, Jangajji 5,412won, Ganjang(for soup) 4,714won, Cheongkukjang 4,677won, Ganjang(for seasoning) 4,464won, and total cost was 20,920won. The reasons behind purchasing the traditional fermented foods were 'because of convenience(58.4%)', 'no time to make by oneself(23.0%)' and 'for not knowing the making methods(12.8%)'. The problems of the manufactured traditional fermented foods were 'worry about safety of the raw materials or additives(71.2%)', 'lack of sanitation(12.0%)'. The most important thing considered in purchasing was 'materials and origins(86.6%)' and next 'quality(64.1%)' was another important thing.

The purpose of this study was to investigate changes in the cooking process of $Bibimbab$(cooked rice mixed with various ingredients) appeared in cook books published after Korean modern era, approximately from late 19th century to the present. 7 cook books were chosen to be analyzed. It is found that the ingredients were mixed with the rice before being served in the cook books written in late 19th century until mid 20th century, while the ingredients were separately decorated on top of the rice in the cook books written from mid 20th century until late 20th century. $Gochujang$(Korean chilly paste), which is common spicy seasoning for $Bibimbab$ in the present time, appeared only in $Hangukeumak$(1987) which is written in late 20th century. Prior to $Hangukeumak$(1987), chilly powder or chilly was used for chilly-based spicy seasoning. Cook books written in late 19th century until mid 20th century, ingredients used for $Bibimbab$ had complicated cooking methods such as $Jeonyueo$(assorted pan-fried delicacies), $Nurumi$(fried beef skewer with various vegetables) and $Sanjeok$(grilled beef skewer). From mid 20th century until late 20th century, among the cook books analyzed in this research, only $Hankukyoribaekguasajeon$(1976) suggested $Jeonyueo$ as an ingredient, and in general, the cooking method for preparing beef became simpler. For further studies, firstly, the cooking procedures used for $Bibimbab$ in the prior period to the Korean modern era need to be examined for more information about the changes of cooking style of $Bibimbab$. Secondly, new $Bibimbab$ recipes for modern restaurants could be created by using the recipes used in the historical cook books. Finally, the definitions of culinary terms used in historical cook books need to be clarified.

This study was conducted to determine the effect of natural ingredient seasoning on the reduction of heterocyclic amine (HCA) production that may occur when pork belly is cooked at a very high temperature for a long time. Pork belly seasoned with natural ingredients, such as natural spices, blackcurrant, and gochujang, was cooked using the most common cooking methods, such as boiling, pan fry, and barbecue. HCAs in pork belly were extracted through solid-phase extraction and analyzed via high-performance liquid chromatography. For short-term toxicity, a mouse model was used to analyze weight, feed intake, organ weight, and length; hematology and serology analysis were also performed. Results revealed that HCAs formed only when heating was performed at a very high temperature for a long time, not under general cooking conditions. Although the toxicity levels were not dangerous, the method showing the relatively highest toxicity among various cooking methods was barbecue, and the natural material with the highest toxicity reduction effect was blackcurrant. Furthermore, seasoning pork belly with natural materials containing a large amount of antioxidants, such as vitamin C, can reduce the production of toxic substances, such as HCAs, even if pork belly is heated to high temperatures.

This study was conducted to investigate which food items are perceived as HANSIK (Korean food) in Korea. 562 males and females aged 20-70 were surveyed on 512 most frequently consumed dish items from 4th Korean National Health and Nutrition Survey if they perceive it as HANSIK. Dish items in kimchi, namul sukchae (cooked and seasoned vegetable) and jeotgal (salt-fermented food) category showed high response rate to be perceived as HANSIK. The response rate of twigim (frying foods) as HANSIK was low showing less than 70%. The response rate as HANSIK for foreign origin foods such as ramen and jjajangmyeon (black bean paste noodle) were lower than 25%. In jang yangnyum (seasoning) category, doenjang (soybean paste) and gochujang (red pepper paste) showed high response rate as HANSIK more than 90%. Females showed a higher response rate as HANSIK than males for most food items except several items of myen mandu (noodle and dumpling). The younger age group had higher HANSIK perception on many items of recently consumed foods, especially budae-jjigae (spicy sausage stew) (p < 0.001) and jwipo-jorim (braised dried filefish) (p < 0.001), implying that they already accept the common foods as HANSIK regardless of the origin. These results provide an information on the foods perceived as HANSIK among currently consumed common foods in Korea and these results can be utilized for establishment of HANSIK concept reflecting transition of dietary life in Korea.

In this research, the contents of capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin in various species of red pepper produced in the Goesan-gun County were determined by GC-MS. Further, the contents of capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin in powdered red pepper products with very hot, hot, normal and mild taste were analyzed to present the degree of hot taste in their products based on contents of capsaicin. The contents of capsaicin in each species of red pepper were from 25.18 mg%(Daetong) to 123.62 mg%(Cheongyang). In the powdered red pepper sold in the market, the contents (mg%) of capsaicin in very hot, hot, normal and mild taste products were 101.98, 67.63, 37.74, and 14.73, respectively. Based on this result, the classification of hot taste by contents of capsaicin was presented in the 7 grades. Namely, the products currently sold in the market were classified into very hot, hot, normal and mild taste. In this research, the degree of hot taste was classified based on contents of capsaicin into 1st grade over 120 mg%, 2nd grade in 100-120 mg%, 3rd grade in 80-100 mg%, 4th grade in 60-80 mg%, 5th grade in 40-60 mg%, 6th grade in 20-40 mg% and 7th grade below 20 mg%. Thus, it is expected that the problem which arises when preparing the products such as kimchi, gochujang and seasoning sauces by using powdered red pepper, namely, the inconsistency of hot taste can be improved and maintained.
