Rheological properties of rehydrated suspensions of freeze dried tomato ketchup were measured by Brabender Viscotron at the temperature range of $30-90^{\circ}C$, at the concentration of 15-50%, and at the shear rate of $0-250sec^{-1}$. At the shear rate of $0-210sec^{-1}$, tomato ketchup was found to be a thixotropic food product. The values of flow behavior index, consistency index and yield stress at the shear rate of $0-210sec^{-1}$, at the temperature of $30^{\circ}C$ and at the concentration of 33% , were 0.2131, 22.5047 $Pa\;sec^{-n}$, and 8.544 Pa, respectively. It was found that the apparent viscosity model for temperature was expressed by Andrade model and the model for concentration was expressed by Power model, and the model for both temperature and concentration was described by exponential and power models. The activation energies at the concentrations of 15, 20, 30, 33, 40, and 50% were 3.973, 4.985. 5.078, 5.226, 5.357, and 7.655 $kcal/g{\cdot}mole$, respectively.

To develope a sauce using Gochujang which can give foreigners good overall acceptance such as good flavor, taste, color, viscosity and versatility to many foods, we studied on the rheological properties and color control, recipes with spices, herbs, syrup, salt and flavor ingredients and sensory evaluation by Chinese, American and Japanese including Korean. From the survey, the Americans suggested that the proper fellow food of Gochujang sauce be fried chicken, barbecue, hamburger and pina, and hoped to reflect red color, low viscosity, hot taste, low sweetness, salty and sourness and diet effect. The Chinese suggest pork and fried food as a fellow with Gochujang sauce and showed similar opinion in the sensory attributes like the Americans except sweetness. When 5% of starch and xanthan gum was added to sauce, respectively, the yield stress of Gochujang sauce showed 33.21 Pa similar to tomato ketchup. In fluidity measured by voistic flow meter, Gochujang sauce showed 6.2 cm/30sec more or less faster than tomato ketchup which showed 4.7 cm/30sec. Gochujang sauce tended to show strong red color and lightness as pH decreased. The pH adjustant and Paprica oleoresin(2%) improved a value to 12.11 and L value to 24.24 similar to tomato kechup(a:12.42, L:25.48). The 1st gochujang sauce product show 4.50 to 5.75 pots in the overall acceptance in the consumer test including foreigners and koreans. However, the 2nd Gochujang sauce product showed 5.90 points and 6.30 points in the pina and fried chicken, respectively, in the same consumer test. Therefore, we propose that Gochujang can be used for developing sauce products which is most acceptable for various foreigners.
