The purpose of this study was to analyze and evaluate the menu served in government offices foodservice by using Kasavana & Smith's Menu-Engineering. Sales and food costs were collected from the daily sales reports for a year from Jan 2 to Dec 31 in 2007. Calculation for menu analysis and customer's data were done by computer using the MS 2003 Excel spreadsheet program and SPSS 12.0 package program. Menu mix% (MM%) and unit contribution margin were used as variables by Kasavana & Smith. Four possible classifications by Menu-Engineering technique were turned out as 'STAR', 'PLOWHORSE', 'PUZZLE', 'DOG'. The main menus served during a year were 128 dishes and about 141 peoples visited this restaurant daily. The mean age of the men was $44.1\;{\pm}\;6.3$, women were $32.7\;{\pm}\;6.4$ and showed that was statistically higher than that of women (p < .0001). The rates of STAR menus were 'Western style (75.0%)', 'guk/tang-ryu (48.1%)', 'jjigae/ jeongol-ryu (23.1%)', 'bap-ryu (17.2%)' in sequence. There were no STAR menus in gui/jorim/jjim-ryu. PLOWHORSE menus were 'gui-ryu (75.0%)', 'guk/tang-ryu (29.6%)', 'bap-ryu (27.6%)' in sequence. There were no PUZZLE or DOG menus in 'jjigae/jeongol-ryu'. PUZZLE menus were 'jorim/jjim-ryu and Myeonryu (each 33.3%)', 'bap-ryu (31.0%)' in sequence. PUZZLE menus were a lots of 'Chinese food (75.0%)' and 'myeonryu (55.6%)'. This study provides the basic data based on regularly menu analysis method applied the scientific menu analysis techniques in government offices food services, I'd like to suggest that the menu management must be done based on the necessity and result of menu analysis according to the seasonal and middle, long-term plans.

In this study, Kimchi, soup and stew samples were collected from May to June, 2007, in the Jeonju area, and their salinity levels were analyzed. In addition, housewives were surveyed via questionnaire to assess food behaviors and consumption patterns. The average salinity of the Kimchi samples was $2.0{\pm}0.5%$. The average salinity of the soup/stew samples was $1.0{\pm}0.3%$ in the broth portion and $0.8{\pm}0.3%$ in the homogenized mixture of both broth and solids. The average salinity of all types of soup was $0.9{\pm}0.3%$, and that for stews was $1.1{\pm}0.3%;$ the average salinity of the stew was significantly higher than that of the soup (p<0.001). Beanpaste soup had a significantly higher average salinity $(1.0{\pm}0.3%)$ than clear soup $(0.8{\pm}0.3%)$ (p<0.05). The Food behavior scores of the respondents, with regard to sodium intake and salty taste preference, showed significant positive correlations to the salinity of the soup and stew samples (p<0.01). The consumption patterns of the Kimchi and soup/stews were also analyzed to determine whether there was a relationship to the saltiness of the food samples. The respondents were divided into two groups for each food category: Kimchi groups of below 2.0% salinity and above 2.1% salinity, soup/stew groups of below 0.8% salinity and above 0.9% salinity. The below 0.8% salinity soup/stew group used salt or soy sauce in meals significantly less frequently (p<0.01) than the above 0.9% salinity group. The lower salinity Kimchi and soup/stew groups gave significantly higher scores regarding answers that their Kimchi was 'bland' (p<0.05). The types of frequently consumed Kimchi were determined as Korean cabbage, Welsh, wild greens, radish, KKak Du Ki, and Yol Mu Kimchi. When compared to the above 2.1% salinity Kimchi group, the below 2.0% salinity Kimchi group gave higher scores regarding answers that they consumed 'more than half the broth in the bowel' and also gave significantly higher (p<0.01) scores in answering that they consumed only the solid ingredients, leaving the broth.

This study was attempted to evaluate quality of retort-pouched conuiment food by adding garlic, ginger, redpepper in cooking soybean paste pot stew. Cooked and storaged retort-pouch soybean paste pot stew with four different levels of garlic, ginger, red-pepper (T$_1$garlic 2%, T$_2$: ginger l％, T$_3$: red-pepper 2%,T$_4$: garlic 2%+ginger 1 ％) was tested for sensory evaluation, pH, TBA value, and microbiological number changes. 1) No systematic increase of total bacteria counts was detected during the storage periods for bowl or retort pouch soybean-paste samples. The inclusions of ginger extract did not pose any microbiological safty problem. 2) Sensory evaluation conducted by fifteen university students as panelists showed that there were significant differences among five samples in color, flavour, and appearance and a notable preference for T$_1$ sample. 3) There was a slowly increase of TBA value during the first 5-7 days of storage in retort-pouch and bowl. The inclusion of ginger extract at 1.0％ level tended to lower TBA values.

개조개는 모시조개와 그 형태가 유사하지만 모시조개와는 달리 패각 길이는 약 10cm이고 패각의 내면이 진한 자색을 띄는 것이 특이하다. 이 조개는 여수, 남해 및 마산등의 앞 바다에서 연중 생산되고 있으며 조간대에서 수심 20m부근의 작은 돌이 섞여있는 모래 바닥에 서식하고 있다. 이 패류는 순수한 자연산으로써 고가 일뿐 아니라 최근 기호 식품으로 수요가 늘어 조리 방법도 된장찌개, 해물탕, 구이, 무침 및 미역국 등에 넣어 먹는 등 다양하게 이용되고 있다. 이와 같이 고급패류인데도 불구하고 지금까지는 개조개에 대한 식품학적 연구가 이루어지지 않았으므로 개조개 중의 유용한 성분의 계절적 변화를 밝히므로써 고도의 이용가공에 관한 기초자료를 얻고자 하였다.

Volatile compounds in Omangdungi (Styela plicata)-Doenjang (soybean paste) stew were analyzed using solvent-assisted flavor evaporation/gas chromatography/mass-selective detection/olfactometry (SAFE/GC/MSD/O) and aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA). The GC/O analysis detected 37 volatile compounds, of which 32 were positively identified, and included 9 aldehydes, 5 alcohols, 4 aromatic hydrocarbons, 4 ketones, 3 esters, 3 N-containing compounds, 2 acids, 1 S-containing compound, and 1 furan. Nine aroma-active odorants ($\log_3FD{\geq}3.0$) in the sample included six compounds derived from Doenjang (3-methyl(thio)propanal, tetramethylpyrazine, 4-vinyl-2-methoxyphenol, 2-acetylpyrrole, butyric acid, and 2-methoxyphenol) and three compounds from Omangdungi (2-acetyl-2-thiazoline, 9-decanol, and 6-decenol). Three compounds derived from Omangdungi (9-decanol, 6-decenol, and 6-nonenol) were thought to enhance the seafood-like flavor of Omangdungi-Doenjang stew.

Purpose: This study was conducted to develop standards for the salinity and sodium content in representative Korean foods high in sodium. Methods: A total of 600 foods from four seasonings (soy sauce, soybean paste, red pepper paste, and ssamjang) and 16 representative Korean foods high in sodium were collected from 10 households, 10 industry foodservice establishments, and 10 Korean restaurants in 10 cities nationwide and analyzed for their salinity and sodium content. Based on the findings, the standards with a 20% ~ 30% reduced sodium content and salinity from the current level were presented. Results: The suggested standards of salinity (and sodium content per 100 g) were less than 12% (4,500 mg) for soy sauce, 9% (3,500 mg) for soybean paste, 5% (2,000 mg) for red pepper paste, and 6% (2,500 mg) for ssamjang. The reduced standards of salinity for soups were suggested to less than 0.5% for clear soup and 0.7% for soybean paste soup, while for broths, it was 0.6% for clear broth and 0.7% for other broths. The standards of salinity for stews were suggested to less than 0.8% for soybean paste stew, 0.6% for other stews, 0.9% for steamed and stir-fried fish dishes, 1.0% for braised dishes, 4.0% for stir-fried dried fishes, 1.3% for other braised dishes including vegetables, and 1.5% for pickled vegetables and kimchi. Conclusion: Standards for the sodium content and salinity were suggested to reduce the sodium level in fermented soybean sauces and representative Korean high sodium dishes by 20% from the current levels. Nevertheless, it will be necessary to adjust the standards properly to reduce the sodium content and salinity further by considering the future status of sodium intake.

The purpose of this study was to investigate self-assessed preferences for saltiness as well as salt-related dietary behaviors of university students in Gyeongsangbuk-do. Data were collected from subjects, including 175 male and 225 female university students. This survey was conducted using self-boarding questionnaires. Exactly 29.5% of all students answered 'salty' for their self-assessed preference of saltiness, and 42.5% indicated 'salty' for their assessed saltiness of university foodservice operations. Salt-related dietary behavior scores were significantly different among monthly spending money (P<0.01), self-assessed preference of saltiness (P<0.001), frequency of using university foodservice operations (P<0.001), and assessed saltiness of university foodservice operations (P<0.001). Among the 15 items of salt-related dietary behaviors, 4 items scored over 3.00/5.00, including frequent eating-out or consumption of delivered foods, kimchi, soy paste soup or other broth soups, and ramyon (instant noodle). Males revealed higher preferences for ham or sausage (P<0.05), table salt (P<0.01), broths (P<0.01), and complete consumption of soups and stews (P<0.01), whereas females showed greater preferences for eating-out or delivered foods (P<0.01). Overweight students showed higher preferences for all broths and complete consumption of soups and stews (P<0.01).
