Abstract

Purpose: In this study, the serving size of home meal replacement (HMR)-soups (Guk, Tang) and stews (Jjigae) available in the Korean market was investigated, and an evaluation of the nutrition per serving was conducted based on the nutrition labeling. Methods: The market research was conducted from March to August 2021 on products sold on the internet, convenience stores, supermarkets, and hypermarkets. A total of 370 products were investigated and classified into 3 types: Guk (n = 129), Tang (n = 132), and Jjigae (n = 109). Results: An analysis of the survey revealed that 72.9% of Guk, 71.2% of Tang, and 79.8% of Jjigae had labels with servings per container, and 89.2% of Guk, 91.7% of Tang, and 99.1% of Jjigae had labels with nutrition facts. The nutritional evaluation per serving of Guk, Tang, and Jjigae was conducted for 259 products (87 Guk, 86 Tang, and 86 Jjigae) having labels containing both the servings per container and nutrition facts. The average serving size of Tang was 367.6 g, which was significantly higher than Guk (325.3 g) and Jjigae (305.1 g) (p < 0.001). The calorie content of Jjigae (171.4 kcal) and Tang (162.3 kcal) was significantly higher than Guk (90.8 kcal) (p < 0.001), and the protein content was the highest in Tang (16.3 g) (p < 0.001). The sodium content per serving of Jjigae (1,479.0 mg) was significantly higher than Guk (1,073.3 mg) and Tang (959.8 mg) (p < 0.001). The percent daily value per serving of all three types was less than 10% on average for calories and 15-30% for protein, whereas for sodium showed an average of around 50% (48-74%). Conclusion: The serving size and nutritional value per serving of the HMR-soups and stews found in this study can be used as basic data to establish the reference serving size.

본 연구에서는 시판되고 있는 가정간편식-국·탕·찌개류의 1인분 제공량 실태와 1인분 제공량당 영양평가를 실시하여 가공식품의 1회 섭취참고량 설정을 위한 기초자료를 마련하고자 하였다. 시장조사는 식품산업통계에서 국·탕·찌개류의 매출액이 많은 상위브랜드를 포함하여 인터넷, 편의점, 슈퍼, 대형마트에서 판매되는 제품을 대상으로 2021년 3월부터 8월까지 실시하였다. 총 370개의 제품을 조사하였으며, 유형별로 국 (129개), 탕 (132개), 찌개 (109개)의 총 3개의 유형으로 분류하였다. 실태 조사결과 국류의 72.9%, 탕류의 71.2%, 찌개류의 79.8%가 인분표시가 되어있었고, 국류의 89.2%, 탕류의 91.7%, 찌개류의 99.1%가 영양성분 표시가 되어있었다. 가정간편식-국·탕·찌개류의 1인분 제공량 당 영양평가는 인분표시와 영양성분이 모두 표시되어 있는 259개 (국 87개, 탕 86개, 찌개 86개)의 제품에 대하여 실시하였다. 1인분 제공량은 탕류가 평균 367.6 g으로 국류 (325.3 g)과 찌개류 (305.1 g)에 비하여 유의적으로 높았다 (p < 0.001). 1인분 제공량 당 열량은 찌개류 (171.4 kcal)와 탕류 (162.3 kcal)가 국류 (90.8 kcal)에 비하여 유의적으로 높았고 (p < 0.001), 단백질 함량은 탕류 (16.3 g), 찌개류 (11.2 g), 국류 (8.1 g)의 순으로 나타났다 (p < 0.001). 1인분 제공량 당 나트륨 함량은 찌개류가 1,479.0 mg으로 국류 (1,073.3 mg)와 탕류 (959.8 mg)에 비하여 유의적으로 높았다 (p < 0.001). 1인분 제공량 당 1일 영양성분기준치에 대한 기여율은 열량의 경우 3종 모두 평균 10% 미만, 단백질의 경우 15-30%의 범위로 나타난 반면, 나트륨의 경우 평균 50% 내외 (48-74%)의 높은 기여율을 보였다. 이상의 연구를 통해 조사된 가정간편식-국·탕·찌개류의 1인분 제공량과 1인분 제공량 당 영양평가는 가정간편식으로 제조되는 국·탕·찌개류의 유형별 1회 섭취참고량 설정의 필요성을 심도있게 논의하기 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
