This study was performed to investigate the quality of pre-processed vegetables used in school and institutional food-services. Pre-processed food materials (carrot, potato, and cabbage) frequently used in food-service were collected from 14 various processing company sources. The sensory and physico-chemical qualities of the pre-processed food materials were determined using sensory and instrumental analysis. For the physico-chemical analysis of the food materials, pH, total acidity, hardness, Hunter colorimeter value, reducing sugar and vitamin C content were determined. For the sensory quality evaluation, 15 panelist were trained and consensus was reached on the quality standards of the preprocessed materials (carrot, potato, and cabbage). Finally, appearance, color, texture, off-odor/taste, and overall quality were determined. In the physico-chemical analysis, there were no significant differences among samples collected from various processing companies. In sensory quality evaluations, the color quality of pre-processed potato was lower than that of other materials. From the coefficient correlations and partial least squares regression analysis between sensory and instrumental data, pH, total acidity, colorimeter values, and hardness were considered important components in assessing the quality of pre-processed vegetables.

This study was undertaken to analyze the hygienic problems of group food services and to predict the outbreak patterns of future food-borne diseases. A delphi survey with 20 experts identified the main causes of food-borne outbreaks in group food services as improper hygienic management of raw food materials, washing of worker's hands, dividing the spaces and unsanitary retail storage. Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Escherichia coli (EPEC), non-typhoid Salmonella serotypes, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli (ETEC), norovirus, and the hepatitis A virus all have potential to cause outbreaks of food-borne disease. We analyzed the daily food use and the possibility of food-borne outbreaks in school food services for fruits, milk, fish, pork, eggs, and meat as raw food materials, and bibimbab, soybean sprouts muchim, spinach namul, cucumber sengchae, jabchae, and pork bulgogi as prepared food items. Frozen (${\leq}\;-20^{\circ}C$) and refrigerated ($0{\sim}10^{\circ}C$) processed foods are popular items in group food services. Their storage, heating, and chemical sanitization methods are potential sources of food disease outbreaks. Our results can be applied to a well-organized hygiene control system and can be used to develop menus for preventing food-borne outbreaks.

The purpose of this paper in the case of elementary and middle schools in Hwaseong city is that clarify spatial structure by seasonal changes of supply region of school meal foods and changes in food mileage. This paper used account registers of school meal foods of the subject schools as data for this analysis. And this paper analyzed data in March, June, September, and December in order to understand seasonal changes of school meal foods. The spatial structure of school meal foods in elementary and middle schools in Hwaseong city take four with private contracts, limited competition, and bidding quotation by suppliers. With the crops in Hwaseong city, they consist of eco-friendly vegetables in Gyeonggi-do, domestic eco-friendly vegetables and fruits, general vegetables and fruits, and imported processed foods and agricultural products. In case of food mileage, around Hwaseong city, there are spatial structure with about 17 $ton{\cdot}km$, 26 $ton{\cdot}km$, and 11,000 $ton{\cdot}km$ respectively. The spatial structure of school meal foods supplies was determined by difference in feed rate of crops, eco-friendly agricultural products, imported processed foods, and imported agricultural products.

In this study, the hygiene control status of meals for the elderly was investigated for the elderly care facilities, communal living families, and day care centers, which are members of the Cheongju Social Welfare Food Management Support Center, and the improvement of food hygiene management was compared and analyzed to find out the effectiveness of the pilot project after conducting management support such as hygiene education for the elderly and providing related supplies and information. The study found that after the first support, the average score of overall feeding hygiene control increased significantly from 63.13 points (out of 100) to 75.10 points (p<0.001) and from 75.10 points (out of 100) to 80.89 points (p<0.001). After primary support, 16 out of 29 items showed significant differences in average scores in the checklist, and 7 out of 29 after secondary visit support (p<0.05, p<0.01, p<0.001). Based on the effectiveness of the above-mentioned pilot project to support senior citizens' meal service management, more welfare facilities for senior citizens should be continuously supported by the Foodservice Management Support Center.

Today’s teenagers were significantly deficient of calcium intakes, taking on the average only 55.4 percents of the recommended. Milk was the major source of calcium intakes, and therefore the school milk program need to be readdressed to remedy this problem. However, school milk program(SMP) was said to be simply the substitute for milk at home, so that no more than a minimal effect on total milk consumption be warranted. This Study aimed to find out whether or not the school milk program was an effective measure to increase teenager’s milk consumption and explored the relation between school milk and total milk consumption for 1,079 junior and senior high school students who were surveyed by questionnaire from 15th June to 15th July in 2006. A Tobit model was used for the statistical analysis. In this model, we first regressed milk consumption on 5 variables i.e. degree of satisfaction, participation in SMP, sex, school, region. But the variable region was not significant statistically. Then we regressed on 4 variables except for region. The results showed 4 variables were all significant and the marginal effect of variable ‘participation in SMP’ was 1.3. Especially, the marginal effect 1.3 means that the students participating in the school milk program consumed 1.3cups more than the non-participants, which indicated the effectiveness of school milk program to improve the calcium deficiency program of teenagers.

This study was designed to obtain basic data for the globalization of Korean food and the expansion of food exports through contract foodservices. A survey of dietary habits and attitudes toward school foodservices was given to students in three American international schools served by a domestic contract foodservice management company located in Seoul and Gyeonggi area. The results showed an average of three meals taken daily 3.39 times for male students and 2.95 times for female students and the time required for a meal was about 24~26 minutes. The average breakfast frequency was 5.10 times(4.59 times for male students and 5.35 times for female students) and many students reported skipping breakfast due to a lack of time. The average weekly frequency of dining out was 1.78 times(2.15 times for male students and 1.60 times for female students). In all schools, irrespective of gender and grade, students responded that a desire for snacking was 'why they want to have cookies', and snacking hours were frequently listed as 'between noon and evening'. Many also responded that an unbalanced diet is the reason some snacks are 'not to their taste'. Overall, students were highly satisfied with the foodservice menu, although there was a significant difference in what was considered proper food temperature, proper food seasoning, suitable amounts of food, and freshness of food. Male and female students were specifically highly satisfied with the 'freshness of food materials' and 'variety of menu' respectively. Overall, all students were highly satisfied with the foodservice, including the 'cleanliness of tables and trays'.

By the government policy, the number of school which is routing a school lunch system is increasing. Since school lunch play an important part of the basis of physical strength in high, middle and elementary schools. There are many arguments over the safety of the soy-sauce made from acid-hydrolyzate. We study public and private high, middle and elementary schools located in Uijeongbu-city and the northern Seoul area. As a result, it showed us that the using rate of commercial fermented soy sauce was $46.3\%$, which was the highest. Chemical soy sauce followed it on presenting $4l/8\%$ and acid-hydrolyzated soy sauce was$11.9\%$.
