Abstract

Now a days, people eat outside of the home more and more frequently. Menu labeling can help people make more informed decisions about the foods they eat and help them maintain a healthy diet. This study was conducted to develop menu labeling system using Nutri-API (Nutrition Analysis Application Programming Interface). This system offers convenient user interface and menu labeling information with printout format. This system provide useful functions such as new food/menu nutrients information, retrieval food semantic service, menu plan with subgroup and nutrient analysis informations and print format. This system provide nutritive values with nutrient information and ratio of 3 major energy nutrients. MLS system can analyze nutrients for menu and each subgroup. And MLS system can display nutrient comparisons with DRIs and % Daily Nutrient Values. And also this system provide 6 different menu labeling formate with nutrient information. Therefore it can be used by not only usual people but also dietitians and restaurant managers who take charge of making a menu and experts in the field of food and nutrition. It is expected that Menu Labeling System (MLS) can be useful of menu planning and nutrition education, nutrition counseling and expert meal management.

본 논문에서는 영양분석 소프트웨어 인터페이스인 Nutri-API (Application Programming Interface)를 활용하여 영양표시를 위한 메뉴 라벨링 시스템을 개발하였다. 영양표시에 표시되는 각 항목들은 영양성분이 추가 또는 변경이 될 수 있도록 유연한 설계를 하였으며 본 메뉴 라벨링 시스템은 다양한 변경사항들을 사용자가 직접 수정 할 수 있도록 설계되었다. 또한, 식품단위의 정보제공뿐만 아니라, 음식 또는 식단의 영양표시 정보도 제공한다. 주요 내용을 요약 하면 다음과 같다. 식품 및 메뉴 검색 메뉴 라벨링 시스템의 식품 및 메뉴의 검색은 유의어 검색 기능과 의미 정보 및 분류 정보를 통한 검색 기능을 가지고 있으며 영양소를 검색할 수 있으며 영양소 함량 정보가 없는 경우에는 missing 표시 (-)을 하였다. 메뉴작성 및 식품관리 메뉴 라벨링 시스템은 기존 데이터베이스화된 기본 식품만을 사용하여 영양 표시에 사용하는 것뿐만 아니라, 식품의 조합인 메뉴를 포함하여 정보를 제공하였으며 Nutri-API의 NutriMenu 기능을 확장하여 메뉴 작성 기능과 추가 및 관리기능을 추가하였다. 메뉴 라벨링 시스템에서 제공되는 정보로는 메뉴설명, 메뉴이미지, 재료중량, 열량 등의 영양소, 3대 영양소비율과 원그래프 제공뿐만 아니라, 메뉴의 구성분류에 따른 영양소 정보도 제시하고 있다. 메뉴 라벨링을 위한 영양소 정보로는 농촌진흥청 모든 영양소를 포함하여 당류, 포화지방, 트랜스지방, 콜레스테롤 등이 있다. 그리고 메뉴의 영양섭취기준과 영양소기준치에 대한 비율 (%) 정보도 제공하며, 동시에 메뉴의 그리고 메뉴의 구성분류의 식품이나 중량 등을 입력/수정/변경 할 수 있다. 식품 추가 기능 본 시스템에서는 기본으로 제공되는 식품 정보 외에 시스템에서 제공하고 있지 않은 식품 또는 식품의 정보를 수정을 위해 식품 추가 기능을 제공하고 있으므로 새로운 식품을 추가하여 식품설명, 사진과 영양소 정보를 입력하여 저장할 수 있다. 기본 제공되는 식품과 구별하기 위해서 사용자 식품으로 별도 저장 및 관리한다. 메뉴 라벨링 정보 메뉴 라벨링 정보에서는 메뉴의 식품재료 중량뿐만 아니라 메뉴의 조리 후 중량, 1회 제공량 (portion size), 총 제공량 (total serving size) 등의 정보를 제공하도록 하였다. 메뉴 라벨링을 위해 추가된 식품 및 메뉴는 라벨링 항목에서 추가 및 수정이 가능하다. 메뉴 라벨링에서 추가 및 수정된 정보는 기본 메뉴 정보와는 별도로 저장 및 관리한다. 메뉴 라벨링 형식으로는 사용자는 표준형, 가로형, 선형, 쌍방형, 영양성분 전면표시형으로 출력할 수 있으며 식당의 메뉴판 영양표시형태도 출력할 수 있다. 메뉴 및 라벨링 관리 사용자가 작성한 메뉴 및 라벨링 정보의 지속적인 관리를 위해 별도의 관리기능을 제공하고 있어서 메뉴의 히스토리뿐만 아니라 이미 작성된 메뉴를 복사하여 새로운 메뉴를 작성하거나, 새로운 메뉴를 구성하는 기본 메뉴로 사용할 수 있다.
