This quantitative study was conducted to examine the relationship between weight control behaviors and disordered eating patterns in some university students. This study used a cross-sectional study design. A total of 347 students from three universities participated in this study (88 male and 259 female) Eating disorders were assessed using the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26); a score of =20 identifies individuals who likely have an eating disorder, including anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. A score for healthy dietary behaviors was obtained by self-assessment on a healthy diet scale (20-item questionnaire), and the severity of any state-trait anxiety was calculated by the state-trait anxiety inventory (40-item questionnaire). In the analyzed results, the percentage of participants with experience of weight control was 58% in male and 73% in female. The subjects with a high risk of an eating disorder (score of =20 of EAT-26) were 44.3% ($mean{\pm}S.D;\;18.9{\pm}13.4$) of the males, and 57.9% ($mean{\pm}S.D;\;23.2{\pm}11.6$) of the females. Higher Body Mass Index (BMI) was significantly related with an increased risk for an eating disorder in females, but not in males. In the group who had attempted weight control of all types, there was a severe risk of an eating disorder. Increased eating disorder risk was significantly related with weight control behaviors such as a higher number of attempts at weight control, having used medication, having experienced side effects, and having experienced disease for both sexes. Therefore, the results of this paper showed that detrimental behaviors of weight control are connected to an increased risk of eating disorders. Consequently, education regarding the correct, behaviors of weight control is necessary to prevent eating disorders in adolescents.

A survey was conducted to investigate the relationship between knowledge of perceived food safety and actual food purchase practices among parents of children under the age of seven (N=309) in 2005. The seventeen following perceived food safety items were included in the survey (bovine spongiform encephalopathy, foot and mouth disease, pathogenic avian influenza, swine fever, allergens, GMO, irradiated food, food poisoning bacteria, endocrine disrupter, antibiotics, food additives, carcinogen, natural toxin, agrichemical residues, place of origin, cultivation methods, and heavy metal) Most parents were highly concerned about investigating all food safety topics. Up to 90.0% of the participants recognized the importance of food safety. The public concern has caused a considerable decline in the demand for food afterreceiving news about food safety through mass media, Also, the majority of subjects required correct food safety information.

청주시민 1,390명에게 기존에 향토 음식으로 조사되었던 89개 음식에 대하여 청주시의 향토 음식으로 적합한 것을 10개씩 선택하라고 설문조사를 하여 연령별, 성별, 직업별로 분석하였다. 성별 성별 결과에서 남자는 1위 올갱이국(282), 2위는 도토리묵밥(174), 3위는 콩국수(164), 4위는 삼겹살과 해장국(158)을 나타냈고, 여자는 1위 올갱이국(520), 2위는 도토리묵밥 {322), 3위는 콩국수(272), 4위는 삼겹살(271), 5위는 해장국(262)이 차지하였다. 남녀를 합한 결과는 1위는 올갱이국(802명), 2위는 도토리묵밥(496명), 3위는 콩국수(436), 4위는 삼겹살(429명), 5위는 해장국(420명), 6위는 산채 비빔밥(323명), 7위는 보신탕(322명), 8위는 닭도리탕(321)이 차지하였다. 성별 직업별 결과에서 주부는 삼겹살을 적게 택하였고, 회사원은 산채 비빔밥을 적게 택한 대신 다른 직업에서 적게 택한 보신탕과 닭도리 탕을 많이 택하였다. 그러나 이들 중 콩국수와 산채 비빔밥, 보신탕은 여름에만 먹거나 여름에만 재료가 나므로 향토 음식으로 보기에는 무리가 있다.

This study investigated the food habits of the elementary school children according to obesity index. The subjects included 1,307 elementary school children classified into four groups according to their individual obesity indices: underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obesity. The distribution of subjects by BMI was 51.5% underweight, 32.9% normal weight, 7.3% overweight, and 8.3% obese. Of these children, 62.6% ate breakfast everyday, and common weight control methods were exercise and diet. Lack of appetite was the most common reason for skipping breakfast(75.3%). Most students(74.7%) had Korean traditional cooked rice and side dishes for breakfast, and 69.6% of students responded that their meal speed was $10{\sim}30$ minutes. In conclusion, the food habits influencing obesity were eating speed, snack intake after dinner, and the number of snacks, while the size of meals did not influence obesity.

식물체의 향기성분을 분리하는데 주로 사용되는 headspace(DHS, RPHS)법, SPME법, SDE법, SFE법과 최근에 개발된 PDE법으로 솔잎의 휘발성 성분을 추출하였다. 추출된 성분을 Ge/MS를 이용하여 총 65종의 휘발성 성분을 확인하였다. 확인된 성분은 terpene류 25종, alcoholfb류 16종, carbonyls류 9종, esters류 6종, acids류 7종, esters 화합물이 2종인 것으로 나타났다. Headspace(DHS, RPHS)법과 SPME 법에서는 휘발성이 강한 ethyl acetate, 2-ethyl furan, $\beta$-myrcene 등과 같은 저비점 휘발성 성분들이 많이 추출되었다. 반면에, 고비점 휘발성 성분들인 nerolidol, spathulenol, benzoic acid 등은 휘발 성분 추출시 열이 가해지는 SDE법, SFE법, PDE법 등에서는 확인되었으나 headspace법과 SPME법에서는 확인되지 않았다. 이들 6가지 추출방법에서 저비점 휘발성 성분 분석에는 headspace(DHS)법이 가장 좋은 것으로 나타났으며, 고비점 휘발성 성분 분석에는 SDE법이 가장 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 최근에 개발된 PDE법은 SDE법에 비해 추출효율 변에서 약간 떨어지나 전처리 방법이 간단하므로 짧은 시간에 많은 시료를 분석할 때 가장 적합한 방법인 것으로 판단된다.

단세포 조류 생물인 Chlorella vulgaris(클로렐라)는 다양한 생리 활성을 가진 기능성 소재로 이용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 강제 수영 부하 실험과 혈액 생화학적 지표에 대한 클로렐라의 효과에 대해 연구하였다. 혈액 생화학적 지표로는 Blood urea nitrogen(BUN), creatine kinase(CK), lactic dehydrogenase(LDH), glucose(Glc), total protein(TP), albumin을 혈액 생화학적 지표로 측정하였다. 매일 0.05, 0.1, 0.15 g/kg 농도의 클로렐라를 각각 실험 군별로 마우스에 구강 투여했다. 클로렐라를 투여한지 3일, 7일째 되는 날 강제 수영 부하 실험을 시행한 결과 0.15 g/kg 클로렐라를 투여한 그룹에서 유의적으로 부동시간을 감소시켰다. 또한 혈청 중 BUN 수치를 낮췄으며, CK, LDH 수치는 감소하는 경향을 나타냈다. 클로렐라 투여 시 혈 중 Glc 수치는 높아졌으나, TP 와 albumin 수치는 변화가 없었다. 이상의 결과들은 클로렐라가 육체적 지구력 향상 효과가 있는 것을 시사하고 있다.

Sorghum bicolor L. Moench(Sorghum, Su-Su) is a major cereal food crop used in many parts of the world. It is used as a human food resource and folk medicines in Asia and Africa. The stem of sorghum has been used as a digestive aid and an anti-diarrheal agent. Sorghum hybrids contain high levels of diverse phenolic compounds that may provide health benefits. High levels of polyflavanols, anthocyanins, phenolic acids, and other antioxidant compounds have been reported in sorghums, which have also been shown to possess various biological activities such as anti-mutagenic, anti-carcinogenic, and HMG-CoA reductase inhibitory activities. In an in vitro experiment, we examined mice splenocyte proliferation and production of three types of cytokine($IL-1{\beta},\;IL-6,\;TNF-{\alpha}$) by peritoneal macrophages cultured with ethanol and water extracts of Sorghum bicolor L. Moench. A single cell suspension of splenocytes was prepared and the cell proliferation of the splenocytes was examined by MTT assay. The splenocyte proliferation was increased when water extracts of Sorghum bicolor L. Moench were used as supplements in all concentrations investigated. The production of cytokine($IL-1{\beta},\;IL-6,\;TNF-{\alpha}$) by activated peritoneal macrophage was detected by ELISA using the cytokine kit. $IL-1{\beta},\;IL-6,\;and\;TNF-{\alpha}$ production by activated macrophages were increased by supplementation with Sorghum bicolor L. Moench water extracts. This study suggests that supplementation of with Sorghum bicolor L. Moench water extracts may enhance immune function by regulating the splenocyte proliferation and enhancing the cytokine production by activated macrophages in vitro.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the performance of elementary school dietitians in terms of nutrition education in the northern portion of Gyeonggi province. Self-administered questionnaires were given to 50 dietitians who have worked in elementary schools with self-operation food service, and 35(70%) dietitians returned the questionnaires. The results are summarized as follows: no students took part in nutrition education as a regular course, but all dietitians performed nutrition education in passive ways, such as 'using home correspondence'(39.0%), 'bulletin board/poster'(22.0%), 'using the internet'(13.4%) and 'indirectly through a classroom teacher'(12.2%). Most respondents performed nutrition education 'one time/month'(66.0%) or 'one time/week'(20.0%). The respondents thought that suitable teaching times for nutrition education were 'during a related subject'(35.5%), 'during lunch time'(22.6%) rather than 'during an independent subject'(16.1%). Most of the dietitians(94.3%) did not perform nutrition counseling because of 'a lack of opportunity'(72.7%) and 'workload'(27.3%). Additionally 88.6% of respondents did not have the time of for nutrition counseling for parents because 'am not a teacher'(56.7%) and 'workload'(30,0%). Information sources for nutrition education were mainly 'internet'(71.4%) and 're-educationa1 materials'(17.1%). They possessed instructional materials in the forms of 'printed materials'(35.1 %), 'exhibition/bulletin board'(31.2%), and 'electrical materials'(33.8%), 'but did not have 'solid materials' such as food models and dolls. Generally they had mostly 'leaflets'(82.9%), 'bulletins'(68.6%), 'internet'(57.1%), and 'CDs'(57.1%). Preferences for instructional materials used were 'printed materials'(46.2%), 'exhibition/bulletin board'(36.5%), and 'electrical materials'(17.3%) 'Leaflets'(80.0%) were mainly used; 'CD'(17.1 %) use was low compared to the proportion possessing CDs. The topics frequently chosen by the subjects for nutrition education were 'table manners'(82.9%), 'basic concepts of food and nutrition'(80.0%), and 'proper food habits'(80.0%), but the topics helpful for practical use, such as 'how much do I eat'(20.0%) and 'nutrition labeling'(37.1%), were not included frequently. The respondents thought that 'eating only what they like'(60.0 %), 'intake of processed foods'(17.8%), and 'obesity'(17.8%) were the most common nutritional problems among elementary school children. They also thought that establishing a regular course for nutrition education was an effective way to cut down on these nutritional problems. In conclusion, nutrition education programs that are combined with effective instructional materials and practical topics should be developed. Additionally, it is recommended that dietitians act as teachers who participate in regular courses as soon as possible.

The objective of this study was to identify factors affecting the job satisfaction of cooks employed in school foodservice and to propose a plan to improve school foodservice quality. Therefore, in this paper, we examined the job satisfaction of 119 elementary school foodservice employees in the Northern Gyeonggi Province using a 5-point scale method. The results were analyzed by the SPSS Package Program(Ver 12.0) to determine percentages and frequency. Among the employees, 99.2% were women, and 75.9% were employed by contract. All of the subjects worked in elementary schools with self operated foodservice system and 57.6% of them served food in the classroom. The total number of diners served by these foodservice programs was $1,391.6{\pm}307.6$ an average of $135.0{\pm}18.2$ diners per cook. Among the foodservice employees, 82.2% had completed high school academic courses, and 98.4% had never changed jobs. Their overall degree of job satisfaction degree was relatively high at $3.05{\pm}0.85$, but the wage and welfare system($2.45{\pm}0.86$), and the merit rating methods($2.25{\pm}0.87$) ranked among the lowest in the job satisfaction survey. On the other hand, the relationships between the managers and the coworkers marked relatively higher at $3.02{\pm}1.03$, compared with other aspects of job satisfaction. As for the work environment, the scaled score was $2.38{\pm}0.85$. Finally the ranking of achieving job improvement through education($3.28{\pm}0.93$), and the effectiveness of education($3.58{\pm}0.78$) showed us the importance and necessity of education.

Numerous investigators have studied various activities of natural products and have found that they have not only nutritional effects, but also beneficial properties to cure various diseases and to maintain good health. Job's Tear(Yul-Moo) is a grass crop that has long been used in traditional medicine and as a nourishing food. Although its mechanism of action remains unclear, Job's Tear has been reported to exhibit anti-inflammatory, stomachic, anti-allergic, and anti-spastic effects and has been used in China for the treatment of warts, rheumatism, and neuralgia. Previous results in our laboratory demonstrated that the ethanol extract and the water extract of Job's Tear exerted an immune regulatory function on mice cells in vitro. The present study was performed to investigate the ex vivo effect of Job's Tear on immune function. Seven to eight weeks old mice(Balb/c) were fed chow diet ad libitum and water extract of Job's Tear was administered orally every other day for four weeks at two different concentrations(50 and 500mg/kg B.W.). Splenocytes proliferation with mitogen stimulation with Con A and LPS was enhanced at 50 mg/kg B.W. of Job's Tear compared to those of the control group. The results of this ex vivo study showed that proliferation of splenocytes and macrophage activation were seen in the mice orally administrated 50 mg/kg B.W. of Job's Tear water extracts. In conclusion, this study suggests that Job's Tear extracts may enhance immune function by regulating splenocyte proliferation and the cytokine prodution capacity of activated macrophages in mice.

This study was designed to investigate the possible utilization of Ligularia stenocephala as a source of functional ingredients in white bread. In terms of color values, as more Ligularia stenocephala leaf powder was added, 'lightness,' 'redness,' and 'yellowness' decreased in the crust, while in the bread crumb 'lightness' and 'yellowness' decreased, but 'redness' increased. When 5.0%, 7.5%, or 10.0% Ligularia stenocephala leaf powder was substituted for an equivalent amount of strong flour, the ratio of the volume and specific volume of white bread decreased while its weight increased. In the texture measurements for the white breads, the hardness decreased slightly with the addition of 2.5% Ligularia stenocephala leaf powder, but increased with the addition of 5.0%, 7.5%, or 10.0% Ligularia stenocephala leaf powder. The addition of the Ligularia stenocephala leaf powder also increased the springiness and gumminess of the white bread. The highest sensory scores for color, flavor, taste, texture, and overall acceptance for both the student group and the baker group were obtained from white bread with 5.0% Ligularia stenocephala leaf powder. The highest sensory scores for the housewife group for taste, texture, and overall acceptance were obtained from control bread. Through the results of these experiments, we conclude that the highest quantity of Ligularia stenocephala leaf powder content should be no more than 5.0% when making bread with added Ligularia stenocephala leaf powder.

마늘의 일시 대량 처리가 가능하고, 맛과 향미의 임의 조절이 가능하여 향신료의 품질을 균일화 및 표준화 시킬 수 있으며 유효 성분을 함유하고 있는 가공형태인 oleoresin을 제조하기 위하여 마늘의 ethanol 추출 조건에 의한 oleoresin의 최적 수율 및 thiosulfmate의 함량에 대하여 조사한 결과 시료 중량에 대한 용매의 적정 혼합 비율은 1:2(w/v)이었으며, 추출 온도와 시간은 각각 $30^{\circ}C$, 3 시간으로 조사되었으며 추출 횟수는 3번씩 추출하였을 때 oleoresin의 최적 수율 및 thiosulfinate의 함량은 각각 14.52%와 $209.93{\mu}mol/g$였다. 또한 위 조건 하에서 제조된 oleoresin의 향기 성분 분석 결과 diallyl disulfide, methyl allyl trisulfide, 3,4-dihydro-3vinyl-1,2-dithiin, 2-vinyl-4H-1,3-dithiin, diallyl trisulfide 등의 5종류의 마늘의 주요 향기 성분인 휘발성 황화합물이 검출되었다. Oleoresin의 저장시 품질 특성 변화를 조사하기 위하여 $4^{\circ}C$ 및 $25^{\circ}C$에서 30 일간 저장한 결과 thiosulfinate 함량이 $4^{\circ}C$에서는 $32.37{\mu}mol/g$으로 측정되었으나 $25^{\circ}C$ 저장시에는 거의 측정되지 않았다. 갈색도 및 탁도는 $25^{\circ}C$에서 저장하였을 경우 $4^{\circ}C$ 저장에 비해 현저히 증가하였으며, 산도의 경우 저장 온도에 관계없이 큰 변화를 보이지 않아 $4^{\circ}C$에서 저장시 마늘 oleoresin의 품질 특성이 좋게 나타났다.

가루녹차 첨가 비율 0%, 1%, 2%, 3%)을 달리하여 식혜를 제조하여 식혜의 이화학적 성질, 관능평가 및 저장성 등을 실험하였다. 가루녹차 식혜의 당도는 $18.40{\sim}18.50%$로 가루녹차 무첨가 식혜와 큰 차이가 없었으나, pH는 $5.81{\sim}5.85$로서 무첨가구의 pH 보다 낮았다. 색도는 가루녹차 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 L값과 a값은 감소하였으나 b값은 크게 증가하였다. 관능검사 결과 가루녹차 첨가량이 높아질수록 색깔과 향미는 강하게 평가되었으나 단맛은 가장 약하게 나타났다. 그리고 가루녹차 2% 첨가한 식혜가 맛, 밥알의 조직감, 후미, 전체적인 기호도에 있어서 유의적으로 가장 높은 점수를 얻었다. 가루녹차 첨가에 의해 식혜의 pH는 저장 19일째에도 변화가 거의 일어나지 않았으나 가루녹차 무첨가 식혜의 pH는 급격히 하락하였다. 저장 기간 중 색도는 가루녹차 첨가 식혜와 무첨가 식혜 모두에 있어서 L값, b값, a값이 약간 증가하는 경향이 있었으나 큰 변화는 보이지 않았다. 따라서 가루녹차를 첨가하여 식혜를 제조할 때, 2% 첨가가 종합적인 관능면에서 적절하였고, 저장성을 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 생각되었다.

The purpose of this study was to provide basic information about the usage frequency of foods and menu items that may have microbiological hazards in elementary school foodservice operations in order to prepare a sanitation management manual for the foodservice production process. Menus from 200 elementary school foodservice operations from June 2004 were analyzed. An analysis of the foodservice production process of the menu revealed that the following processes were used: heat process(63.9%), non-heating process(28.1%), and after-heating process(8.0%). The cooking methods used for side dishes were: Stir-frying(19.9%), Saenchae(15.6%), Jorim(15,1%), Sukchae(13.1%), Frying(11.3%) and so on. Overall, 85 menu items known to include microbiological hazards were offered a total of 3,537 times; they were Doegi-bulgogi(7.0%), Bibim-bap(5.2%), Oi-saengchae(4.6%), Kongnamul-muchim(4.2%), Ddeok-bokkeum(4.0%), Japchae(3.7%), and so on. To serve safe and hygienic foods, menus including microbiological hazards should be planned very carefully. Furthermore, if a menu is high in microbiological hazards and frequency, the manuals of sanitation management should be applied more thoroughly.
