This study was conducted to determine the optimum amount of dried Alaska Pollock Therage chalcogramma roe (D-AP-R) for preparing garlic gochujang with D-AP-R. We investigated the optimal preparation of garlic gochujang with D-AP-R by proximate composition, taste, color, and odor measurements and sensory evaluation. The moisture, ash contents and water activity of garlic gochujang with D-AP-R decreased as the amount of D-AP-R increased, whereas other components, such as crude protein and lipid contents, taste value, yellowness of Hunter color, and odor intensity, increased as D-AP-R increased. According to the sensory evaluation results, garlic gochujangs with 10 and 15% D-AP-R were superior to garlic gochujang without D-AP-R (control) in terms of taste and overall acceptance but inferior in terms of fish odor. However, there was no difference in the sensual color of garlic gochujang with versus without D-AP-R. These results suggest that high quality garlic gochujang can be prepared by adding 10% D-AP-R. The total amino acid content of garlic gochujang with 10% D-AP-R was 11.81 mg/100 g, which was higher than that of the control (9.05 mg/100 g). The cholesterol content of garlic gochujang with 10% D-AP-R was 16.1 mg/100 g, which is below the acceptable daily cholesterol intake (300 mg/day).

Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Zygosaccharomyces rouxii are known to produce alcohol in gochujang. To reduce alcohol production, garlic and chives were applied to gochujang solution to find their inhibitory effect on S. cerevisiae and Z. rouxii. The 70% ethanol extract of garlic and chives showed significant inhibition activity against S. cerevisiae and Z. rouxii, showing growth inhibition zone of 14.00±0.00~25.33±0.58 mm by disc diffusion method. In addition, the addition of 70% ethanol extract of garlic and chives in 10% gochujang solution spiked with S. cerevisiae and Z. rouxii reduced the numbers of total aerobic bacteria (below 7 Log CFU/g) and yeast (below 4 Log CFU/g), alcohol content (below 0.30%), respectively. In conclusion, the addition of garlic ethanol (70%) extract or chives ethanol (70%) extract to gochujang inhibited the growth of S. cerevisiae and Z. rouxii, resulting in reduced alcohol content in gochujang. For further study, it is necessary to conduct food application experiments by using real gochujang paste.

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.

Vibriocidal GOCHUJANG was manufactured using extract of natural products and green tea. Antioxidative capacity of natural products and combination of natural products was measured with Oxidation-Reduction Potential (ORP) system value. Inhibitory ability of vibriocidal GOCHUJANG was compared with Inhibition Zone Diameter (IZD) values. Phellodendri cortex, Schizandrae fructus, Theae folium, Scutellaria baicalensis george and Acanthodanacis cortex and combination of these natural products were showed higher antioxidant capacity and inhibitory effect against V. para-haemolyticus. Two kinds of combinations, A combination was composed of Phellodendri cortex, Schizandrae fructus, Theae folium, Scutellaria baicalensis george, and B combination was consisted of Acanthodanacis cortex and A combination, were presented higher inhibition ratio with IZD values as $1.57\pm0.0051$ and $1.56\pm0.0071$, respectively. Vibriocidal GOCHUJANG was prepared based on A and B combination with their higher IZD Value as $1.76\pm0.0103$ and $1.79\pm0.0103$, respectively. When vinegar was added to A and B based GOCHUJANG, their IZD value was more higher as $2.15\pm0.0071$ and $2.44\pm0.0086$, respectively B combination based GOCHUJANG was exhibited higher inhibitory effect than A based GOCHUJANG. Combination of natural products was more important process for increasing vibriocidal effect. But addition of soybean malt or chitosan or a garlic into A or B combined GOCHUJANG, no different effect was exhibited.

This study evaluated the effect of steam heating, gamma irradiation, and ultraviolet (UV) irradiation on microorganism reduction in order to determine an effective sterilization method for red pepper powder. The effect of each treatment on the reduction of thermoduric bacteria and total aerobic bacteria in red pepper powder were as follows: 10 kGy gamma irradiation, reduction of 4 log and 6 log CFU/g, respectively; 12 mW/㎠ UV irradiation (264 nm UV-C), reduction of less than 1 log CFU/g; steam heating at 120℃ for 40 s, reduction of approximately 2 log CFU/g. High-temperature short-time processing at 110℃ for 30 s reduced the total bacterial count in Gochujang solution from 5.70 log CFU/g to 2.26 log CFU/g; at 121℃, the solution was commercially sterile. Steam heating resulted in 1, 2, and 4 log microbial inactivation in garlic, onion, and pepper powder, respectively. Steam sterilization, which consumers prefer over other methods, may be an effective method for reducing microorganisms in spice powders, including those in red pepper powder.

This study investigated sensory characteristics and cross-cultural consumer acceptability of sweet crispy chicken (Dakgangjeong) prepared with six types of Korean-style sauces among Korean and Chinese consumers. The main ingredient(s) of each sauce was soy sauce (SOY), Japanese apricot extract and soy sauce (JASOY), gochujang (SPICY), minced garlic (GARL), and ketchup (KET-I and KET-II); KET-I and KET-II were modified to possess ethnic Korean flavors. In general, Korean and Chinese consumers preferred all types of Dakgangjeong, except for GARL and SPICY, respectively. Least preferred products of each country had the lowest familiarity rating among consumers of the respective countries. Similar to previous studies, these results showed that familiarity is an important factor affecting consumer preference in a cross-cultural context. Particularly, it was found that higher familiarity of the product was not found to influence consumer to like a product, but rather low familiarity seemed to affect consumers to reject a product.
