Refrigeration shouldn't by itself cause a sauce to seperate*. The greatest
culprit causing seperation that I've found is to leave them alone too long.
Making extra efforts now to make sure that doesn't happen ;-) My entire
sauce collection sits seperated and before showing it off, I shake each bottle
to restore them. One of the reasons a fitment (that little thingie we all pull
off) is used is to help the sauce mix as it is shaken to get it to come out of the
fitment. This too helps combat seperation.

*If I wanted to postulate an official sounding explanation whereby
refriegeration might cause them to seperate, I'd talk about micro-fine air
bubbles attaching to pieces of the solids insolution. At room temperature, the
air bubbles have expanded enough to maintain bouyancy (like a hot air
ballon) but under colder emps, the larger pieces fall out of suspension.
Science grant anyone? :-)
