Soybean sauce fermented with soybean and wheat, has been a major condiment of Korean diets from centuries ago. Melanoidin, a brown pigment generally found in various food systems, is a final product produced in amino-carbonyl reaction during soybean sauce processing. Antioxidative activities of soybean sauce and melanoidin were investigated in vitro system using linoleic acid emulsion. Soybean sauce and glucose-lysine model melanoidin showed the stronger antioxidative effect than control by ferric thiocyanate and conjugated diene assays. In addition, DPPH radical scavenging effect of soybean sauce was higher than melanoidin, which was ascribed to soluble peptide and low molecular protein existing in soybean sauce. To ascertain antioxidative effect of dietary soybean sauce and melanoidin in vivo, the male Wister rats were fed 10% soybean sauce or 10% glucose-lysine model melanoidin with corn oil or fish oil for 5 weeks. Fatty acid compositions in liver and plasma were influenced by oil source. Therefore, EPA and DHA contents of fish oil group were higher than those of corn oil group. When the inhibitory effect of soybean sauce and melanoidin on lipid peroxidation using TBARS methods was measured, fish oil group (FC) showed higher malondialdehyde (MDA) content than corn oil group (CC). However, supplementation of soybean sauce and melanoidin to fish oil group attenuated MDA formation. In the levels of phosphatidyl choline hydroperoxide (PCOOH) in liver and plasma by CL (chemiluminescence)-HPLC method, PCOOH in FC group was significantly higher than that of CC group both in liver and plasma. Supplementation of soybean sauce to fish oil groups significantly inhibited the formation of PCOOH in plasma and liver, while melanoidin suppressed hepatic PCOOH formation. Based on these results, it can be suggested that soybean sauce possesses stronger antioxidative potential than melanoidin.

The color distribution of fish sauces was studied by using the change in log absorbance per 100nm as a parameter of color tone. A linear relationship was found between the logarithm of absorbance (log A) and wavelength at 450 nm to 650 nm in the color of fish sauces. Change in log A per 100nm $({\Delta}A)$ in the color of the fish sauce products was in the range of 0.55 to 0.59. Absorbance at 450 nm (A 450) of the fish sauce treated with soy sauce koji was high in comparison with A 450 of the fish sauce treated by pronase and control. The color of fish sauces treated with soy sauce koji was dark reddish orange, and was similar to the color of soy sauce. A 450 of every fish sauce increased with the progress of fermentation but ${\Delta}A$of the fish sauces slightly increased at the beginning of fermentation and then decreased at the end of fermentation. In the results of sensory evaluation for the flavor of fish sauce products, the fish sauce product treated with soy sauce koji that 20% salt was added at the first stage was the molt desirable in the strength of flavor, tastefulness and after taste, and the fish sauce was also the best in acceptability.

We developed a seasoning sauce using hot water extracts from anchovy Engraulis japonica fish sauce processing by-products. A temperature of 121℃ was maintained for 120 min and the resulting amino acid content, salinity, and pH were 183.6 mg/100 g, 6.86, and 17.4 g/100 g, respectively. Radish juice, sea tangle Saccharina japonica extract, and mushroom Lentinula edodes were added to improve the flavor. The glutamic acid content of the extract mixed with 10% sea tangle extract was 88.87 mg/100 g and the 5'-GMP (guanine 5'-monophosphate) content of the extract mixed with 10% mushroom extract was 9.67 mg/ g. This study was conducted to determine optimal processing conditions for seasoned products using response surface methodology (RSM). The optimal conditions for X₁ (sea tangle extract concentration) and X₂ (mushroom extract concentration) were 15.0% and 5.0%, respectively, and the predicted values of the multiple response optimal conditions were Y₁ (5'-GMP: 17.36 mg/100 g) and Y₂ (glutamic acid: 157.35 mg/100 g). Under the optimal conditions, the experimental values of Y₁ and Y₂ were 17.32 mg/g and 155.36 mg/100 g, respectively, which are similar to the predicted values. We confirmed the feasibility of developing a seasoning sauce using hot water extract from anchovy fish sauce processing by-products and additives.

Antioxidative activity of browning product(BP) fractionated from fermented soybean sauce(SS) was studied during the oxidation process of linoleic acid mixture system. SSBP was a powder type product prepared from fermented soybean sauce by the fractionation through the Sephadex G-10 column and freeze drying of collected fraction. The aqueous model systems were used for the evaluation of antioxidative activity of SSBP during the oxidative reaction at $50^{\circ}C$ by the determination of peroxider and conjugated dienoic acid compounds. The linoleic acid mixture for the aqueous model systems was consisted of linoleic acid(64.6%), oleic acid(27.4%), and other acids in ethanolic phosphate buffer solution(pH 7.0). SSBP had a considerable antioxidative activity with the inhibition of formation of peroxides and conjugated dienoic acids during the autoxidation of linoleic acid mixtures in aqueous model systems. Antioxidative activity of SSBP was relatively higher than SS, however, lower than ${\alpha}-tocopherol$ and butylated hydroxyanisol. The antioxidative effect of SSBP was increased by the its concentrations from 0.05% to 0.5% in the oxidation reactions of aqueous model systems. Therefore, SSBP was considered as one of the potential natural antioxidants for the use of food products.

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.

The aim of this study was to find out the rapid fermentation of soy sauce from koji hydrolyzate using column type reactor packed with immobilized yeast cells. Each immobilized cell of Zygosaccharomyces rouxii BH-90 and Candida versatilis BH-91 in the packed column type reactor produced 2.8% ethyl alcohol and 18mg/l 4-ethylguaiacol over 96 hours under the optimal condition. Continuous fermentation was performed by immobilized Z. rouxii BH-90 packed in column type reactor. Immobilized Z. rouxii BH-90 produced 2.30~2.85% ethyl alcohol during 30 days, and decreased gradually from 40 days to 80 days. Also C. versatilis BH-91 produced 4-ethylguaiacol at the constant rate of 16~18mg/l and decreased gradually after 40 days. Final product of soy sauce contained 2.8% ethyl alcohol and 18mg/l 4-ethylguaiacol. However, amino acid compositions of final products were consisted of predominantly glutamic acid, leucine, arginine, aspartic acid, lysine and valine, which were more than 50% of total amino acid.

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.
