In cooking, a sauce is a liquid, cream, or semi-solid food, served on or used in preparing other foods. Most sauces are not normally consumed by themselves; they add flavour, texture, and visual appeal to a dish. Sauce is a French word probably from the post-classical Latin salsa, derived from the classical salsus 'salted'. Possibly the oldest recorded European sauce is garum, the fish sauce used by the Ancient Romans, while doubanjiang, the Chinese soy bean paste, is mentioned in Rites of Zhou 20.

home processing→ had a significant effect →reducing residues in tomato sauce and strawberry jam
“Home processing of fortified tomato and strawberry samples had a significant effect on reducing residues in tomato sauce and strawberry jam, where the reduction reached 100%.”
What science says

“mannitol (30 days) and amino acid concentrations were higher in kimchi with FS.”
mannitol (30 days) and amino acid concentrations→were higher in→kimchi with fish sauce (FS)
“It was revealed that specific species produced different profiles of volatile compounds, some of which were significant flavor contributors, especially volatile alcohols, aldehydes, esters, and ketones.”
volatile alcohols, aldehydes, esters, and ketones→are significant flavor contributors→in Korean soy sauce
“Changes in yeast community structure during Korean soy sauce fermentation were examined using both culture-dependent and culture-independent methods with simultaneous analysis of the changes in volatile compounds by GC-MS analysis.”
