This study suggests a gateway strategy for transporting agri-food exports to expand exports after examining the patterns of Korean agri-food exports by commodities and the role of export gateways. Korean agri-food exports have increased, but processed food exports have increased significantly compared to fresh agricultural products during the last 17 years. More importantly, Busan port is the main agri-food export hub in Korea. Under these circumstances, this paper examines the determinants of processed cereal-based food (HS 19) exports through Busan port using classification and regression tree (CART) analysis. As a result, the main factors that help to predict the real value of Korean exports are the GDP of the export destination countries, their distances from Korea and their GNI per capita. The destinations of Korean agri-food exports are finally classified into eight groups, which reveals the characteristics of clusters and provides useful insights for the strategies to expand agri-food exports.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the quality characteristics of Astragalus membranaceus Bunge leaf (AMBL) fermented with lactic acid bacteria and the applicability of its biologically active compounds. Methods and Results: An assessment of physicochemical properties such as pH, total acidity, free sugars, and isoflavonoid (calycosin-7-o-β-d-glucoside, ononin, calycosin, and formononetin) was conducted. Furthermore, the levels of antioxidant compounds, including polyphenols and flavonoids, and radical scavenging activities of the extracts using 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl-hydrate and 2,2-Azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) were investigated. The calycosin content in the water extract of AMBL fermented with Leuconostoc mesenteroides increased by approximately twice as much as the control. Conclusions: These results indicate that L. mesenteroides can be used to improve biological activity through fermentation, and that AMBL can be used as a functional materials and edible resource in industrial areas.

The purpose of this study was to obtain the codex classification information on the primary food commodity (fresh state) of processed foods of plant origin that are included in the Codex Classification of Foods and Animal Feeds. Furthermore, whether or not the primary food commodity is included in the primary food classification from the Food Code of Korea was investigated. The results are summarized as follows: First, the Codex Classification information (number of classification codes/number of the primary food commodity group that fresh commodities of processed foods are classified/number of primary food commodity that is not included in the Codex Classification) by a processed food group appeared to be 46/8/0 for dried fruits, 76/11/1 for dried vegetables, 54/4/12 for dried herbs, 36/1/0 for cereal grain milling fractions, 17/4/3 for oils and fats (crude), 34/8/9 for oils and fats (refined), 20/8/0 for fruit juices, 3/2/0 for vegetable juices, and 19 codes for teas (in the Codex Classification, the primary food commodity group for tea does not exist). Second, the number of the primary food commodities not included in the Food Code of Korea was 9 for dried fruits, 14 for dried vegetables, 35 for dried herbs, 0 for cereal grain milling fractions, 6 for teas, 3 for oils and fats (crude), 9 for oils and fats (refined), 2 for fruit juices, and 0 for vegetable juices. Third, it was demonstrated that caution should be exercised when using Codex Classification due to differences in food classification between Codex and Korea, such as coconut (Codex, as tree nut as well as assorted tropical and sub-tropical fruit) and olive (Codex, as assorted tropical and sub-tropical fruit as well as olives for oil production), as well as special cases in the Codex Classification, such as dried chili pepper (Codex, as spice), tomato juice (Codex, as vegetable for primary food commodity and as fruit juice for juice) and ginger (Codex, as spice for rhizome and not including as primary commodity for leaves).

Perismmon has been consumed for long times in Korea and used as a drug for a long time in Korea, It was known to help alcohol intoxication. Ingested alcohol is metabilized by alcohol dehydrogenease and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase in liver. Alcohol dehydrogenease activator and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase activator(ALDHA) was detercted in persimmon. The oncentration of ALDHA was determined and compared in different havesting time, species, and available processed foods. The level of ALDHA was highest in persimmon (Fuyu) harvested in November. Lower ALDHA activities were found in its processed foods. Persimmon and its processed foods are expected to be effective in decreasing the concentration of alcohol and acetaldehyde after alcohol intake.

Objectives: This study was performed to examine the sugars intake through processed foods and its related factors in college students. Methods: The findings of this study was based on the data obtained from the self-administered questionnaire survey of the sugars intake through processed foods. The self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted among 245 college students between March and April, 2015. Results: The amount of sugars intake through processed foods was 45.9g in male collegians and 47.1g in female collegians. In the bivariate analysis, the amount of sugars intake was significantly different by department of major, current smoking status, subjective health status in female collegians (p<0.05). In the multivariate analysis, the amount of sugars intake was related significantly with current drinking status, sleeping time, degree of depression in male students and student's department of major, current smoking status, whether or not of snack intake in female (p<0.05). Conclusions: The program for college students to decrease the sugars intake through processed foods would be necessary, especially in student of non-health department.

현대산업의 고도화 추세에 따라 반도체를 비롯한 의료 및 식품위생기기 산업분야에 사용되는 부품의 고정도가 요구되면서 기존에 공구와 가공물이 직접 접촉하면서 절삭하는 가공방법으로는 절삭력에 의한 변형과 마찰열 등으로 인하여 고정도 가공의 실현에 어려움이 생기게 되었다. 그리고 의료 및 식품기기에 사용될 부품의 내면을 기존의 기계적 가공방법으로 가공할 경우 공작물 표면에 미소한 가공흔적이 남게되어 표면의 요철부분에 칩(chip)등의 불순물이 잔재할 우려가 있으며, 또한 요철 부분에 미생물이 번식할 경우 청정도가 떨어져 산업위생상의 문제점이 발생하게된다.(중략)

In the present study, exposure to heavy metals by consumption of edible seaweeds (green laver, laver, hijiki, sea tangle, and sea mustard) was assessed based on their concentrations of lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As), and mercury (Hg). The mean of heavy metal concentrations were 0.006-0.023 mg/kg for Pb, 0.037-0.156 mg/kg for Cd, 1.117-15.928 mg/kg for As, and 0.008-0.021 mg/kg for Hg. In multivariate analysis, the correlations were high between Pb levels in sea mustard, Cb levels in laver, and As and Hg level in Hijiki. However, the estimated daily intake and target hazard quotient (THQ) of the heavy metals in edible seaweeds were below their approved limits suggesting no health risks associated with seaweed consumption by Koreans.

This study analyzed domoic acid (DA), the causative agent of amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP), in shellfish produced in Jinhae Bay, Korea. From January 2018 to December 2020, samples were collected at least once a month from 10 sites in Jinhae bay. This included 170 mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis and 241 oysters Crassostrea gigas. Domoic acid was detected in some samples in collected 2018 and 2019; however, all levels were significantly below the regulatory level of 20 mg/g. Domoic acid was not detected until 2020.Moreover, the detection trend of domoic acid did not show a clear correlation with the shellfish species or season. Calculation of body exposure to domoic acid through shellfish consumption showed that it was below the health-based guidance values in all cases. These results can be used as basic data on domoic acid in shellfish produced in shellfish growing areas and as policy data for the supply of safe seafood. In addition, considering the possibility of changes in marine biotoxins due to changes in aquatic environments, continuous monitoring is necessary.

만성질환과 관련된 식품 또는 영양소에 대한 관심이 높아지면서 정부에서는 현대인들의 건강을 위해 보다 정확하고 알기 쉬운 정보를 제공하고자 노력하고 있다. 최근에는 외식식품, 가공식품 등에 영양표시를 의무화함에 따라 소비자들이 좋은 제품을 선택할 수 있도록 제도화하였다. 하지만 이 정보를 적용하는 경우는 많지 않아 영양표시에 대한 이해와 활용법에 대한 지도가 필요한 시점이다. 식품에 영향을 많이 받는 당뇨병환자들부터 영양표시를 읽고 식단의 수준을 높여보자.

백명중 칠십 육명이 각종 성인병으로 사망하는 이른바 $\ulcorner$성인병 시대$\lrcorner$. 우리는 어떤 식품을 어떻게 얼마나 먹고 있나? 우리가 먹는 식품은 얼마나 자급 되고 있나? 편이성 추구에 변해 버린 오늘의 우리 입맛! 외국 농산물을 원료로 만든 각종 가공식품! 바야흐로 우리는 벗어나야 한다. 잘못된 식생활을 고쳐야 한다. 무엇보다 자신을 위하여. 우리 것을 지키는 것은 명분에 앞서 실리일 것이기 때문이다.
