Gochujang samples with essential oils were evaluated for sensory including taste and, smell during various storage periods with the aim of developing improved high value-added products. The sensory testing was performed on Gochujang with 0.005% Zanthoxylum piperitum and Chrysanthemum indicum essential oils, extracted through steam distillation. During storage at 4 and $20^{\circ}C$ for 8 weeks, sensory testing was performed at 0, 1, 2, 4 and 8 weeks by trained panelists. Overall quality decreased in Gochujang samples containing Z.piperitum essential oil and increased in samples containing C.indicum essential oil, at 4 and $20^{\circ}C$. Samples stored at $4^{\circ}C$ were quality more then those stored at $20^{\circ}C$. Sensory evaluation was highest for Gochujang with C.indicum essential oil stored at $4^{\circ}C$. It is concluded that functional Gochujang can be developed by adding small quantities of essential oils. Increasing the amount of essential oil added is likely to affect the innate taste and flavor of Gochujang.

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.

This study investigated the spicy hot flavor related quality characteristics of cucumber salad prepared using spicy hot flavor graded gochujang that had been stored for 60 and 120 days. The results showed that the pH of both the 60-day and 120-day fermented gochujang was significantly higher in the cap-200 sample (p<0.001). In contrast to the results on pH, the acidity of both the 60-day and 120-day fermented gochujang was found significantly lower in the cap-200 sample (p<0.001). Measurements of salinity were found to be significantly lower in the sample with higher capsaicin content than in the sample with lower capsaicin content. The sugar content was found to be generally higher in the sample with the 120-day fermented gochujang than that with the 60-day fermented gochujang. Lightness (L) was higher in the sample with a lower capsaicin content than in the sample with a higher capsaicin content. The redness (a) was found to be significantly higher in the cap-200 sample than in other samples (p<0.001). The values of the L, a, and b tended to be lower in the sample with the 60-day fermented gochujang than in the sample with the 120-day fermented gochujang. The hardness of the cucumber salad was found to be lowest in the 120-day fermented sample with the cap-200 gochujang, which had the highest capsaicin content (p<0.05). The results of the sensory evaluation of the cucumber salads showed that the spiciness was stronger with the higher capsaicin content (p<0.001), and approximately one-level higher than the spiciness rating of hot pepper. The results of a key ingredient analysis showed that the sample with high capsaicin content was classified as having a relatively hot spicy aroma and flavor, and strong stinging pain, and the sample with the low capsaicin content was classified as having a salty aroma and a dark appearance.

This study investigated the free sugar and free amino acids considered as the taste component in Korean Gochujang. Our goal was to search and develop the Korean traditional Gochujang taste, and to monitor the current status and characteristics of the Gochujang. For the analysis of Gochujang, it is purchased from small farms as well as major food company producing Gochujang. In the case of commercial Gochujang(COM), glucose and maltose were major free sugar, and the ratio of distribution and total amount showed very similar pattern. However, the results of the traditional Gochujang(TG) showed significant differences for each sample even they had glucose and maltose as predominant sugar. The content of glucose, maltose, fructose was reduced in order. The other hand, sucrose, rhamnose were not detected or were detected trace amounts in some samples. Even the characteristics were found at each region, it was no noticeable difference, but each sample was greater variation. Total of 17 amino acids were found from COM and the major amino acids were Pro, Glu, Asp, but His, Met were generally detected in small amounts. In the TG, they mainly contained Glu, Asp, Pro as the dominant component in addition to the Arg, Ala, Cys, respectively. TG had higher amino acid content and fairly various distribution compared to COM. It could suggest the possibility of the development for different traditional tastes because each TG had diverse characteristic taste than COM.

The purpose of this study was to improve the quality of Korean traditional sauce products by producing short-term green gochujang with cheongyang pepper powder. To determine its antioxidant compounds and activities, we examined vitamin C, capsaicinoid, total phenolic, and total flavonoid contents, as well as electron-donating, SOD-like, ferrous ion-chelating, and nitrite-scavenging activities. Vitamin C content of short-term green gochujang was higher in CON-M than in the sample, whereas capsaicinoid content increased as the amount of cheongyang pepper powder increased. Total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, electron-donating activity, and nitrite-scavenging activity were higher in the sample than in CON-M, and the contents increased as the amount of meju powder increased. Green gochujang containing the highest amount of cheongyang pepper powder showed the highest SOD-like, and ferrous-ion chelating activities as well as superior nutrient contents, compared to red gochujang.

This study was conducted to establish an effective palate cleanser when conducting descriptive analysis for gochujang products. In addition, descriptive analysis procedure for gochujang products was optimized. A generic descriptive analysis was performed on 4 types of gochujang samples varying in hot and spicy levels. The sensory attributes developed were 9 odors, 13 flavors, 4 texture and mouth feel attributes, and 4 appearance attributes. In order to select an effective palate cleanser for gochujang, 5 types of cleansers were tested (water, water+bread, water+cucumber, water+milk, water+cracker). Correct answering rate, significant numbers of product effect on sensory attributes, and the mean hot and spicy intensity values were considered to select the optimal palate cleanser. Results showed that as the hot & spicy level increased, red pepper odor and flavor significantly increased whereas umami taste intensity decreased. When comparing the efficiencies of various palate cleanser, the correct answer rates were the highest when warm water was used with either cucumber or cracker. Additionally, the attribute intensities were better differentiated between gochujang samples when cracker, white wheat bread, or cucumber were used. Overall, warm water with cucumber or cracker were shown to be the most effective cleansers.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the volatile compounds of Korean traditional gochujang from various districts. The volatiles from each traditional gochujang are being extracted by simultaneous steam distillation extraction (SDE), and analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Twenty compounds are identified as major volatile components which include 8 esters, 4 alcohols and 4 acids. The most traditional gochujang possesses more volatile components rather than commercial gochujang products. Most acids come from fatty acids and the alcohols derive from the oxidative degradation of linolenic acid. The most abundant volatile compounds for both traditional and commercial gochujang include 10 compounds such as 2-methyl-1-propanol, hexanal, 2-methyl-1-butanol, octanoic acid ethyl ester, as well as the various type of acids and esters. They represent most of the total GC peak areas, respectively. From the results, the characteristics of the flavors for traditional gochujang from each district are not clear but have shown various components than the commercial products.

A strain of gas-producing and volume-expanding yeast was isolated from Gochujang made in Sunchang by the traditional ways and was identified to be a Saccharomyces sp. This yeast was detected only in malt among the several ingrediants of Gochujang which means that the volume-expanding yeast comes into Gochujang at the time of making products through malt one of the major ingredients. However boiling of the malt-saccharified rice could not prevent the occurrence of the volume-expanding yeast in Gochuj-ang. This yeast was contained in the range of 5.67∼7.75 log10CFU/g in products made and aged between 1 monty and 3 year in Sunchang area.

This study produced instant Gochujang(red pepper paste) with enhanced convenience by increasing nutritional value and palatability, and by reducing production period, adding in the red pepper seed in the red pepper paste production in order to increase the use of the red pepper seed that is not used often as a food ingredient even though its nutrition value when producing red pepper paste was proven. Moisture content, pH, L-value, a-value, b-value, sugar contents, and salinity of instant Gochujang tended to increase as the amount of red pepper seed increased, while viscosity manifested the opposite trend. Sensory evaluations were conducted on instant Gochujang to assess differences in characteristics, which demonstrated that as the amount of red pepper seeds powder increased, the intensity of redness for the red pepper paste's external appearance, luster, spicy flavor and taste, and savory taste were evaluated strong. Meanwhile, fermentation value, which is red pepper paste's foremost weakness was evaluated as weak. Moreover, there was no difference in the size of the grain when compared to the contrast group consisting of regular red pepper paste. The results of preference test demonstrated that the RG3 with 30% of red pepper seed is optimal in terms of the external appearance, taste, texture and overall preference.
