One hundred fifty grams of Korean fermented soybean paste and hot pepper-soybean paste were packaged in glass jar of 232 mL and Sotred at 5, 13, 22 and 30℃. During the storage, the changes in their microbial flora and quality attributes were monitored. Carbon dioxide production rate from the stored pastes were also determined from initial change of CO₂concentration in headspace of the pack. Hot pepper-soybean pate showed much higher CO₂ production rate higher dependence of CO₂ production on temperature compared to soybean paste. Total aerobic bacteria count and lactic acid bacteria count did not change significantly through the storage. Yeast count in soybean paste decreased slowly after initial uprise while that of hot pepper-soybean paste steadily decreased. Surface color of hot pepper paste changed to dark red with slight decrease in 'L' value and slight increase in 'a' and 'b' values, whereas any significant color change was not observed in soy paste. Titratable acidity increased with time with higher increase in soybean paste, but pH stayed at constant level for both pastes. All the rates of quality change were higher with higher temperature. Pressure buildup due to CO₂ production needs to be considered first in designing the packages of the fermented pastes before their color changes and other chemical quality changes.

The effects of storage time (0, 1, and 2 month) and temperature (5, 15, and $25^{\circ}C$) on the dynamic rheological properties of hot pepper-soybean paste (HPSP) mixed with acetylated starches (AS) were studied by small-deformation oscillatory measurements. Dynamic moduli (G', G", and $\eta^*$) values of HPSP-AS mixtures increased with an increase in storage time and also decreased with increasing storage temperature. However, dynamic moduli values of the control (no added AS) were independent on storage time and temperature. Tan $\delta$ values (ratio of G"/G') in all HPSP samples did not change much with an increase in storage time and temperature. After 2 months of storage, the dynamic moduli of the HPSP-AS mixture samples were much lower than those of the control, indicating that the addition of AS can inhibit the retrogradation that developed over a long period of storage. Structural and rheological properties of HPSP samples seem to be stabilized by the presence of AS.

Time-dependent flow properties of commercial kochujang (hot pepper-soybean paste) were evaluated at various shear rates (5, 15, 25, and $35\;sec^{-1}$) and temperatures (5, 15, and $25^{\circ}C$). Flow properties of all samples showed thixotropic behaviors, which were qualitatively evaluated and quantitatively described by the Weltman, Hahn, and Figoni and Shoemaker models. Time-dependent flow properties of kochujang were found to vary over the range of the shear rate and temperature investigated. Time-dependent models of Weltman and Hahn were suitable ($R^2=0.923-0.987$) for commercial kochujang.

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.

Dynamic rheological properties of hot pepper-soybean paste (HPSP) mixed with xanthan gum were evaluated at different gum concentrations (0.3, 0.6, and 0.9%) and fermentation times (12 and 24 week). Magnitudes of storage (G') and loss moduli (G") in the HPSP-xanthan gum mixture systems increased with an increase in frequency ($\omega$), while complex viscosity (${\eta}^*$) decreased. G' values were higher than the G" values over most of the frequency range (0.63-63 rad/sec), and were frequency-dependent. The dynamic moduli (G', G", and ${\eta}^*$) of the HPSP-xathan mixtures were lower than those of the control (0% gum). The differences between the dynamic moduli values at 12-week and 24-week fermentation decreased with increasing gum concentration, showing that xanthan gum can be used to stabilize and improve the viscoelastic rheological properties of HPSP. The G' value of the HPSP-xathan mixtures increased with an increase in gum concentration from 0.3 to 0.9%, whereas the G" decreased. The ability of xanthan gum to increase the elastic properties in the HPSP-xanthan mixture systems seemed to be the result of the incompatibility phenomena existing between xanthan gum and glutinous rice starch.

The preparation method for traditional kochujang (fermented hot pepper-soybean paste) at home were surveyed by 1,436 housewives through the country by premade questionnaires. The kochujang meju (Korean style soybean Koji for kochujang) were made by solely soybean (45.3% of respondents) or soybean with rice (26.3%) from September to November (52.2%) or December to February (32.7%). The shape of meju was either doughnut (28.4%) or brick (25.6%) type. Kochujang making seasons were either from March to May (56.6%) or December to February (25.0%) and it was prepared in proportion of mostly $6{\sim}10%$ meju powder (32%) with over 20% of red pepper powder (57.2%) prepared by seed removed dry red pepper. Subsidiary ingredients for kochujang making were boiled waxy rice (73.5%), malt (33.3%), corn syrup (18.9%) or corn syrup with malt (21.9%). After mixing all ingredients, kochujang in clay pot were occasionally exposed to the sun for fermentation for $3{\sim}4$ months (35.0%) or $1{\sim}2$ months (34.7%).

Dynamic rheological properties of hot pepper-soybean paste (HPSP) samples mixed with guar gum and xanthan gum were evaluated at different storage temperatures (5, 15, and $25^{\circ}C$) by using a dynamic rheometer. Magnitudes of storage modulus (G'), loss modulus (G"), and complex viscosity (${\eta}^*$) in the HPSP-gum mixtures increased with an increase in storage temperature from 5 to $25^{\circ}C$. After 3-month storage at 5 and $15^{\circ}C$ there were no significant changes in dynamic rheological properties. The increase in dynamic moduli (G', G", and ${\eta}^*$) with storage temperature is less pronounced at HPSP-xanthan gum mixtures in comparison to HPSP-guar gum mixtures. The slopes of G' (0.16-0.18) of HPSP-guar gum mixtures at 3-month storage were much higher than that (0.10) at 0-month storage, indicating that the elastic properties of the HPSP-guar gum mixtures can be decreased after 3-month storage. However, there were not much differences between the slopes of G' in HPSP-xathan gum mixtures. Xanthan gum was observed to be better structure stabilizer for HPSP during storage.

Rheological behavior of commercial hot pepper-soybean paste (HPSP) was evaluated in small amplitude oscillatory and steady shear tests. Storage modulus (G'), loss modulus (G"), and complex viscosity (${\eta}^*$) as a function of angular frequency (${\omega}$), and shear stress (${\sigma}$) as a function of shear rate (${\gamma}$) data were obtained for 5 commercial HPSP samples. HPSP samples at $25^{\circ}C$ exhibited a non-Newtonian, shear-thinning flow behavior with high yield stresses and their flow behaviors were described by power law, Casson, and Herschel-Bulkley models. Time-dependent flow properties were also described by the Weltman, Hahn, and Figoni & Shoemaker models. Apparent viscosity over the temperature range of $5-35^{\circ}C$ obeyed the Arrhenius temperature relationship with activation energies (Ea) ranging 18.3-20.1 kJ/mol. Magnitudes of G' and G" increased with an increase in ${\omega}$, while ${\eta}^*$ decreased. G' values were higher than G" over the most of the frequency range (0.63-63 rad/sec), showing that they were frequency dependent. Steady shear viscosity and complex viscosity of the commercial HPSP did not fit the Cox-Merz rule.

Effect of acetylated starches (acetylated rice starch and acetylated tapioca starch) on rheological properties of hot pepper-soybean paste (HPSP) at different mixing ratios of rice flour (RF) and acetylated starch (AS) (10/0, 9/1, 8/2, and 7/3) was evaluated in steady and dynamic shear. All HPSP samples at $25^{\circ}C$ exhibited shear-thinning (n=0.31-0.36) and thixotropic behavior with high yield stresses and their steady flow curves were well described by power law and Casson models. The presence of AS resulted in the decrease in consistency index (K), apparent viscosity (${\eta}_{a,100}$), and yield stress (${\sigma}_{oc}$), and their predominant decreases were noticed at higher ratio of RF to AS (7/3 ratio). Arrhenius temperature relationship represents variation with temperature in the range of $5-35^{\circ}C$ with the high determination coefficients ($R^2=0.97-0.99$). Dynamic moduli (G', G", and ${\eta}^*$) values of HPSP samples mixed with AS were lower than those of HPSP with no added AS within the experimental range of frequency (0.63-62.8 rad/sec). Steady and dynamic shear rheological properties of HPSP samples seem to be greatly influenced by the presence of acetylated starch.
