Instant hot sauce was prepared to produce a similar product to Korean-style gochujang using different ratio of cheongguk-jang (0~20%) and red pepper powder (7~27%). Moisture content decreased from 43.21 (control: BS0) to 19.13%(maximum addition of cheongguk-jang: BS4). L value was the lowest with control (BS0), and a-value and the b-value were higher with BS4. pH tended to increase significantly as the addition amount of cheongguk-jang powder increased (p<0.001). Titratable acidity was lowest at 5.40 for BS0 and 6.30 for BS4. Salinity and soluble solids were also decreased but viscosity increased with addition of cheongguk-jang. DPPH radical scavenging activity was increased from 50.9% (BS0) to 77.6% with BS4. Overall preference was highly evaluated with the sample (BS3) prepared with red pepper, cheongguk-jang, japanese apricot extract, and water at 12, 15, 40 and 25% (w/w), respectively. Results showed that the instant hot sauce had a possibility to replace Korean-style gochujang requiring lengthy fermentation time.

Hot and spicy flavor grading in hot pepper powder for gochujang in various cultivars was studied using sensory and physicochemical characteristics. Chungyang, which had the highest capsaicin content had very low redness a value of 17.49 representing stronger red color does not relate to the stronger hot and spicy flavor. Sensory results showed that chungyang had significantly the highest value of hot and spicy aroma and flavor of 5.73 and 7.87, respectively(p<0.05). Although wurigun had the second highest capsaicin contents, it had relatively low hot and spicy aroma value as 3.87, some sweet flavor, and relatively low stingingness in the mouth value of 4.67, thus, comparatively weak hot and spicy flavor of 4.87 suggesting the difficulties in grading the hot and spicy flavor only by the capsaicin contents. Capsaicin content was highly positively correlated with the hot and spicy flavor, aftertaste and stinging flavor, and negatively correlated with the sweet flavor. In the principal component analysis, samples of chunyang, balita, and gumbit groups with greater hot and spicy aroma and flavor, were loaded in the first principal component. Classifying hot and spicy flavor of hot pepper powder for gochujang in various cultivars are suggested as 'very weak', 'weak', 'intermediate', 'strong', and 'very strong' with capsaicin contents under 40.00 mg/dL, 40~100 mg/dL, 100~150 mg/dL, 150~500 mg/dL, and those higher than 500 mg/dL, respectively. Since too many sample groups were located in the specific stages in the five stage grading, the nine staged classification is also suggested.

Coriander(Coriandrum sativum L.), which has a unique flavor and antioxidant and anti-cancer effects, is a natural functional spice most preferred by Chinese, and its nutritive superiority is recognized and its consumption is increasing even in Western countries. This study attempts to increase use and consumption of Gochujang in the Chinese market by adding coriander to Gochujang. For this purpose, coriander powder and extract were added to Gochujang. Conclusions drawn from this study are as follows. CP7(7 g of coriander powder, 93 g of hot pepper paste) showed the highest score in color(4.04), coriander smell(3.72), coriander taste(3.92), and softness(4.36) while CJ4(10 g of coriander juice, 90 g of hot pepper paste) showed the highest score in gloss(3.42), coriander smell(3.04), and coriander taste(4.29), This reveals that, with increase in the addition of coriander extract, coriander smell and taste grow stronger and Gochujang smell and taste grow weaker.

Gochujang and red pepper powder are the representative condiments in Korea. This study examines gochujang sauces for tteokbokgi by hot taste degree(4 levels) and then evaluated the quality and sensory characteristics of gochujang sauces to provide the basic information for industrialization of gochujang sauce. Moisture content of gochujang sauce 1 was the highest (53.90%). Moisture content became decreased against hot taste. pH range of gochujang sauce was 5.50~5.84. pH values of sauces increased in accordance with hot taste. In the Brix contents, sauce 3 was the highest(46.73%), but the sauce 1 was a little low. Viscosity of sauce 4 was 237.93 cp and others became decreased in accordance with hot taste. In the lightness(L value), sauce 2 was the highest(24.89). Capsaicin content of sauce 4 was 27.00 mg/100 g while sauce 1 was 22.97 mg/100 g. In sensory evaluation, color of sauce 4 was darkest. In hot taste, sauce 1 was evaluated as less hot while sauce 4 as most hot. Overall acceptability score range of sauce 2, 3, 4 was 4.95~5.50 which was higher than sauce 1. The result of a research conducted to undergraduate students showed that they preferred hot taste gochujang sauce. Consequently, customers should be more satisfied with sauce products they chose when provided with those by hot taste degree. In the future, more studies are required about the degree of hot taste for the successful industrialization and globalization of hot pepper and gochujang.
