The objective of this study was to examine the effect of hot-boning and soy sauce as a curing agent on the processing properties of beef jerky. Beef jerky was prepared under the following four treatment conditions; Beef jerky with cold-boned beef and salt solution, beef jerky with cold-boned beef and soy sauce solution, beef jerky with hot-boned beef and salt solution, and beef jerky with hot-boned beef and soy sauce solution. Cured meat and jerky containing hot-boned beef had a significantly higher pH, water holding capacity (WHC), moisture content, Myofibrillar fragmentation index (MFI), processing yields, tenderness, and sensorial scores than samples containing cold-boned beef (p<0.05). Regardless of the raw materials, the jerky containing soy sauce had a significantly lower pH, WHC, moisture content, salt content, TBA, CIE $L^*$ and $b^*-$ values, and significantly higher MFI, mechanical tenderness, and sensorial scores (p<0.05). Based on these findings, we concluded that the use of hot-boned meat and soy sauce was the most effective boning method and curing agent during beef jerky processing.

This study investigated the functional nutrition of red yeast rice to added beurre mani$\acute{e}$ in the production of brown sauce. We added X to Y at levels of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% and investigated the effects on the viscosity, water content, turbidity, pH, sugar level, reducing sugar, color, and sensory quality characteristics of the resultant brown sauce. The viscosity of Brown sauce was increased with increasing red yeast rice beurre mani$\acute{e}$ while water content and turbidity were decreased. pH was between 4.57~4.91. Sugar level and reducing sugar were increased with increasing red yeast rice powder content. L and a were increased with increasing red yeast rice powder content, and b was decreased. In sensory testing, visual appearance and flavor were highest for brown sauce preparations containing 15% and 20% X. Aftertaste and taste scored the highest for additions of 10% and 15%. For general preference, a 15% addition of X resulted in the highest score. Based on the results, it seems that red yeast rice powder, 15% red yeast rice powder added brown sauce has the highest the general preference.

The test results of Teriyaki sauce produced adding pomegranate concentrate are as follows: pH of Teriyaki sauce adding pomegranate concentrate showed significant difference among all samples (p<0.05). In case of sugar content, the higher the amount of pomegranate concentrate rose, the higher in sugar content it was. The test result of the amount of water showed significant difference among all samples (p<0.05). As the amount of added pomegranate concentrate was increased, the amount of water in the sauce was decreased. For viscosity, as the amount of added pomegranate concentrate was increased, viscosity of Teriyaki sauce was increased. The test result of chromaticity showed that as the amount of added pomegranate concentrate was increased, brightness (L), redness (a), and yellowness (b) were increased. According to the result of sensory evaluation, overall-acceptability was 7.5 highest at 6% compared to the control group. In view of the above results, it is advised to produce Teriyaki sauce with 6% pomegranate concentrate for its practical use.

Soy sauce, a basic ingredient in Asian cuisine, is made of fermented soybeans, salt, water, and barley or wheat flour. The sensory characteristics of soy sauce are not only determined through its main ingredients but also by various flavor compounds produced during the fermentation process. This study was conducted to identify the sensory attributes of five different commercial soy sauce samples that differ in Meju types (traditional Meju or modified Meju) and usage types. Thirty three sensory attributes, including appearance (1), odor (16), flavor (14), and mouthfeel (2) attributes, were generated and evaluated by eight trained panelists. The collected data were analyzed by analysis of variance and principal component analysis. There were significant differences in the intensities of all sensory attributes among the soy sauce samples. Soy sauce made with traditional Meju had high intensity of fermented fish, beany, musty odors and salt, Cheonggukjang, fermented fish flavors. Whereas two soy sauces made with modified Meju were strong in alcohol, sweet, Doenjang, roasted soybean flavors. Two soy sauces for soup made with modified Meju had medium levels of briny, sulfury, fermented odors and bitter, chemical flavors and biting mouthfeel characteristic.

To develop a value-added anchovy Engraulis japonicus sauce, the processing conditions and quality characteristics of a rapidly fermented and high-purity anchovy sauce (RRAS) were examined by adding 5-10% (w/w) radish Raphanus sativus L. RRAS exhibited higher yield, total nitrogen content, and amino nitrogen and calcium contents as well as lower salinity than those of conventional anchovy sauce (control). The salinity, yield, and total amino acid contents of RRAS and control were 17.2-17.7% and 19.6%, 81.2-88.7% and 61.0%, and 13,117.8-14,174.9 mg/100 g and 10,041.1 mg/100 g, respectively. The major amino acids recorded were aspartic acid, glutamic acid, alanine, valine, isoleucine, leucine, phenylalanine, ornithine, lysine, and histidine. The histamine contents of RRAS and control were 8.3-8.6 mg/100 g and 19.2 mg/100 g, respectively, while the protease activity levels were 0.901-0.958 unit/mg and 0.695 unit/mg, respectively. Overall, this study establishes that RRAS can not only significantly shorten the salt fermentation period, but can also serve as an anchovy sauce with superior nutritional quality and higher levels of amino acid and calcium.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics of tomato sauce, which is widely used in Western cuisine, according to tomato variety. The plum tomato sauce treatment had the highest pH at 4.13 while sauces made with Seo gwang and Young gwang tomatoes exhibited the lowest pH level of 4.07 (p<0.05). Sweetness was highest in the plum tomato sauce at $9.80^{\circ}$Brix. This might have been due to the fact that the plum tomato variety was the sweetest among the different tomatoes. There were no significant differences among the treatments in terms of reducing sugars, salinity, or viscosity. A color difference analysis indicated that redness (a-value) was highest in the plum tomato sauce, which contained a high level of lycopene. Sensory evaluations were performed by 15 professional panelists with scoring tests for color, flavor, taste, aftertaste, viscosity, and overall acceptability. The plum tomato sauce received the best scores in every evaluation, except for viscosity. These comparative results will support the development of better quality tomato sauce using plum tomatoes.

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.
