The purpose of the study was to assess the relative preference for hot & spicy sauces using conjoint analysis, with focus on English consumers. From the results of the study, we were able to derive a standard with the best sauce attributes. The respondent group was selected from the CCFRA's customer database. The qualification criteria for inclusion in the sample were: the primary grocery shopper in the household, a consumer of a range of home cooked oriental & far eastern cuisines, enjoyed hot & spicy chili-based foods, and willing to buy hot chili-based oriental sauces. A total of 676 respondents completed the survey in which 76% were women, and all respondents were between the ages of 18 and 65 years. An online survey method was used and a conjoint analysis was adopted. In conjoint analysis, a product is described as a combination of a set of attribute levels, where a utility value is estimated for each attribute level. In summing up the results of this study, the sensory property (flavor) attribute was most important, the second was brand, and the third was price. For the sensory property attribute, a mild chili sauce of blended garlic, sugar, and lime scored highest. In terms of brand, Blue Dragon was selected as the best. The lesser known Korean Kochujang brand of "Hot&Joy" scored lowest with respect to brand value. Encouraging, however, was the description based on the Hot&Joy product: a hot chili sauce blended with ginger and garlic, which held appeal across age groups and genders. In terms of price, 75p per bottle had the best score.

To develope a sauce using Gochujang which can give foreigners good overall acceptance such as good flavor, taste, color, viscosity and versatility to many foods, we studied on the rheological properties and color control, recipes with spices, herbs, syrup, salt and flavor ingredients and sensory evaluation by Chinese, American and Japanese including Korean. From the survey, the Americans suggested that the proper fellow food of Gochujang sauce be fried chicken, barbecue, hamburger and pina, and hoped to reflect red color, low viscosity, hot taste, low sweetness, salty and sourness and diet effect. The Chinese suggest pork and fried food as a fellow with Gochujang sauce and showed similar opinion in the sensory attributes like the Americans except sweetness. When 5% of starch and xanthan gum was added to sauce, respectively, the yield stress of Gochujang sauce showed 33.21 Pa similar to tomato ketchup. In fluidity measured by voistic flow meter, Gochujang sauce showed 6.2 cm/30sec more or less faster than tomato ketchup which showed 4.7 cm/30sec. Gochujang sauce tended to show strong red color and lightness as pH decreased. The pH adjustant and Paprica oleoresin(2%) improved a value to 12.11 and L value to 24.24 similar to tomato kechup(a:12.42, L:25.48). The 1st gochujang sauce product show 4.50 to 5.75 pots in the overall acceptance in the consumer test including foreigners and koreans. However, the 2nd Gochujang sauce product showed 5.90 points and 6.30 points in the pina and fried chicken, respectively, in the same consumer test. Therefore, we propose that Gochujang can be used for developing sauce products which is most acceptable for various foreigners.

The purpose of this study was to analyze factors affecting acceptance of four kinds of dak-jjim samples in third year school-aged children (n=100). Soy sauce, red pepper paste, Vietnam fish sauce, and star anise were applied to samples for their familiar and exotic characteristics. Significant differences among samples were observed in odor, taste, and acceptance (p<0.001). Soy (Soy sauce sample), RPPaste (Red pepper paste sample), and Soy_FishS (Soy sauce and Vietnam fish sauce sample) samples scored higher than Soy_StarA (Soy sauce and star anise sample) sample. On the other hand, there were no significant differences in intensities of saltiness, sweetness, and hot spicy flavor (p>0.05). Liked attributes in samples were saltiness, sweetness, chicken flavor, potato flavor, moistness of chicken, hot spicy flavor, and color. Disliked attributes in samples were hot spicy flavor, saltiness, and ginger flavor. Significant differences among samples were observed in familiar intensity and willing to try again (p<0.001). Soy, RPPaste, and Soy_FishS samples scored higher than Soy_StarA sample. Panels considered taste (46%) and nutrition (45%). Higher familiar intensity of sample was associated with higher acceptance in samples. In other words, familiarity of food affects acceptance of food. Therefore, familiar ingredients such as soy sauce and chicken can be used for development of Korean menu items considering taste and nutrition with enhanced Korean food acceptance in school-aged children.

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.

Fernbraken is a popular and well-known wild grass, but the physiochemical properties of Korean Traditional pickling (Jangachi) during aging have been little reported. Therefore, this study was carried out to investigate the physiochemical properties of Fernbraken Jangachi treated with a soybean sauce mixture for 6 weeks (1st pretreatment) as well as fermented with soybean paste, red hot pepper paste and soybean sauce for 7 weeks. Total polyphenol contents, acidity, salinity, sweetness (Brix), and ${\alpha}$-tocopherol of Fernbraken Jangachi all increased with aging period. On the other hand, pH and total acidity of Fernbraken Jangachi did not change much. Among the three kinds of Jangachies, Jangachi fermented with soybean sauce showed 2 fold higher salinity and total acidity levels compared to the others. Therefore, the physiochemical properties of Fernbraken Jangachi were dependent on the pickling properties, such as soybean paste, hot pepper paste or soybean sauce, and these properties maintained a certain level after 5~6 weeks of aging. Further, proper aging period for Fernbraken Jangachi was suggested as 10 weeks.

Three kinds of salt-fermented Mytilus Edulis were produced: a Mytilus edulis seasoning sauce salt-fermented with Lactobacillus Plantarum CHO55, a Mytilus edulis seasoning sauce salt-fermented with Lactobacillus Plantarum CHO55 with teriyaki sauce added; and a A1ytilus edulis seasoning sauce salt-fermented with Lactobacillus Plantarum CHO55 with plum added. The salt-fermented Mytilus edulis with teriyaki sauce was high in crude protein (11.44%), and the plum seasoning sauce was more or less high in crude fat. Among the amino acids of the ingredients, glutamic acid was the most abundant in all the samples. The sauce with the highest total amino acid content of 9,169.48 mg per 100 g was the salt-fermented Mytilus edulis that was fermented with Lactobacillus Plantarum CHO55. Among the major fatty acids, C16:0 (palmitic acid), which is the main constituent of saturated fatty acid, was the most abundant; and the salt-fermented Mytilus edulis seasoning sauce that was fermented with Lactobacillus Plantarum CHO55 with plum added had a slight high amount of C18:2 (linoleic acid). The sensory evaluation showed the following sauces receiving the highest scores in all the measurement items, in this order, though the difference in their scores was not statistically significant: the salt-fermented seasoning sauce with plum added and the salt-fermented seasoning sauce with teriyaki sauce added.

The “Jeungbosallimgyeongje” was literature reviewed about the manufacture of Korean sauces. Furthermore, in order to investigate the changes made by time period, other literatures, “Eumsigdimibang(1670s)”, “Sallimgyeongje(1715)”, “Gyuhapchongseo(1815)” and “Choson­mussangyorijebeop(1930)”, were compared. The ingredients mentioned included soy beans, flour, barley, elm trees, red beans and blue beans, etc. In addition, the shapes and sizes of dried soybean paste brick were varied. “Manchojang”, which designated the kind of hot pepper paste, appeared in this book for the first time. During its manufacturing process, it was characteristic to add dried bean paste, sea kelp and fish to produce a novel and higher quality product. From the above mentioned books, we found out that Koreans used only the soybeans and Chinese a mixture of buckwheat, flour and barley in addition to soybeans to make their traditional sauces. According to the“ Gyuhapchongseo” , there was a slight difference in ingredients to add for the manufacture of fish sauce, but the manufacturing methods and the one year period needed for maturing the ingredients were the same.. However, in the “Chosonmussangsinsikyrijebop”, fish sauce and meat sauce were classified separately and their manufacturing methods were different as well. In conclusion, the ingredients of used for the sauces recorded in “Jeungbosallimgyeongje” were various and at first hot pepper sauce made from “Manchojang” appeared and additionally red peppers were added to five kinds of Korean paste and red pepper powder were added to two kinds of Korean paste. The manufacturing method of the sauces changed according to time period, for example, only soybean has been used in Korean traditional sauces and other ingredients used as for Chinese ones eventually disappeared.

To develop Korean-style hot sauce using red pepper powder and/or Kochujang, its physiochemical and microbiological characteristics were investigated during storage at 20 and $30^{\circ}C$ for 56 days. The capsanthin contents and the value of surface color decreased during storage, but pH and titratable acidity were not changed. The sensory quality showed a decreased tendency during storage. Among the microorganisms, viable cell count decreased, but yeast, lactic acid bacteria and E. coli were not detected during storage. From the correlationship between sensory color and capsanthin content, the shelf-lives of hot sauce were predicted to be 221.7 days at $20^{\circ}C$, and 85.3 days at $30^{\circ}C$. While they were 230.0 days at $20^{\circ}C$ and 70.0 days at $30^{\circ}C$ in case of using Kochujang, hot sauce using both materials showed shelf-lives of 204.0 days at $20^{\circ}C$, 67.3 days at $30^{\circ}C$, respectively.
