War against Japanese(1592-1599) and war against Manchurian(1636-1637), which had been occurred in Korean Peninsula throughout the history, and frequent trade with foreign countries since $18^{th}$ century have led to a distribution of foreign food into Korea. Several examples for this include tomato, apple, watermelon, maize, pea, cowpea, peanut, potato from China and red pepper, pumpkin, and sweet potato from Japan. Since these foods had been brought into Korea, they have been cultivated suitable for Korea's climate and land. Foreign foods with a few exceptions tend to have high calories. For instance, along with potato and sweet potato, pumpkin is considered a high-calorie food containing lots of starches as it becomes ripening. This helped a wide spread of the foreign foods across the nation where intake of high-calorie foods was critical for Korean people's nutrition at that time. Among those foods introduced from foreign countries, red pepper had a greatest impact on the dietary life-style of Chosun Dynasty. The use of red pepper has been greatly expanded from main ingredient to seasoning and garnishing in various forms of red pepper such as red pepper paste, red pepper powder, and thick soy paste mixed with red pepper. Red pepper was made eating habits is hot besides dye red colored to traditional food, because steaming and boiling is frequently cook method, fermentation food also food color is achromatic therefore food color is and mixture with red pepper, picked fish and chinese cabbage new kimchi culture came into being.

Benomyl(Methyl-1-(Butyl Carbamoyl)-Benzimidazole-2-yl-Carbamate) is widely used as pre- and post-harvest pesticide. It converts into MBC(Carbendarzime:Benzimidazole-2-yl-carbamate) and butyl-isocyanate in mild condition. In this study, three analytical methods for MBC were compared in view of detectability, correctness, and sensitivity. The first and second are HPLC analytical method employing the UV detection of MBC. Our new third method was modification of PFBB(pentafluoro-benzylbromide) derivatization method with GC-ECD & MSD. The average recoveries and detection limit of MBC in the newly modified method are 95% and $0.001{\mu}g/g$ in whole bean and bean sprouts respectively. This new method prevent pesticide analysis from misdetecting in bean and bean sprouts.

The present study was conducted to evaluate the usefulness of common Korean legumes as a high-fiber supplement in therapeutic diets for diabetic patients. Streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats were used as animal models and four kinds of legumes, black soybean (BS), yellow soybean (YS), green pea (GP) and soybean curd residue (SCR) were tested as high-fiber supplements. Seven groups of normal and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats were fed isocaloric experimental diets containing 8％ dietary fiber from one of four legumes or purified cellulose and pectin for 6 weeks. The effects of the legumes on the glucose and lipid metabolism of diabetic rats was examined and compared with the effects of cellulose and pectin. The legume supplementation did not show any beneficial effect on glucose tolerance, however, it exhibited a plasma cholesterol-lowering effect in diabetic rats. The cholesterol-lowering action was especially strong in BS and the degree of the effect was comparable to that of pectin. The levels of total lipids, cholesterol, and triglyceride in the hepatic tissues of rats fed legume diets were similar to those of the pectin group. All legume supplements induced an increase in fecal steroid excretion. The fecal cholesterol contents were significantly high following the supplementations of YS and SCR (p < 0.05). The excretion of fecal bile acids in the BS and YS groups was significantly higher than it was in the pectin group (p < 0.05). Concentration of lipid peroxidation products in the blood and urine of diabetic animals was lower in the legume groups than in the cellulose group. The levels of hepatic lipid peroxidation products were significantly lower in the BS and YS groups than in the pectin group (p < 0.05). From the results of this study, the plasma cholesterol-lowering effect of BS is possibly due to the significant (p < 0.05) in-crease in fecal steroid excretion, which suggests that BS could be beneficial in improving abnormal lipid metabolism in diabetic rats.

Retrogradation of legume starches and their gel properties were studied. From DSC results, kidney bean starch retrograded faster than other starches whereas cow pea and mung bean starches retrograded slowly. Retrogradation rate of 1% starch solutions during storage showed similar patterns to the DSC results. During storage, the sags of cow pea and mung bean gels(starch conc., 8%) were slowly increased, but that of kidney bean was rapidly increased. The water mobility of cow pea and mung bean gels, which was measured by NMR, remained unchanged for one day, afterwards decreased slowly, whereas that of red bean and kidney bean gels decreased rapidly through the storage time.

Effect of heating temperature on elution patterns of soluble carbohydrate of legume starches and the texture of starch gels was investigated. The elution profiles of soluble carbohydrate obtained by Sepharose 2B-CL showed that the larger molecules were leached as the heating temperature increased. The elution profiles of soluble carbohydrate of cow pea and mung bean starches were similar, but those of kidney bean starch were different. The gel structures of cow pea and mung bean were stable with showing high values in hardness and cohesiveness. But red bean and kidney bean gels were weak in hardness and cohesiveness. As the heating temperature rised, hardness and cohesiveness were increased in gels prepared by heating for 15 min. However, the gels made by heating for 1 hour showed that less hard and more cohesive gels from cow pea and mung bean, while harder and more cohesive gels from red bean and kidney bean were obtained as the heating temperature increased from $85^{\circ}C\;to\;95^{\circ}C$.

Surface evapotranspiration is one of the most important factors to determine the surface energy budget, and its estimation is strongly related with the accuracy of weather forecasting. Surface evapotranspiration over Daegu Metropolitan was estimated using high resolution LANDSAT TM data. The estimation of surface evapotranspiration is based on the relationship between surface radiative temperature and vegetation index provided by a TM sensor. The distribution of NDVI (Normalized Difference of Vegetation Index) corresponds well with that of land-used in Deagu Metropolitan. The temperature of several part of downtown in Deagu metropolitan is lower in comparison with the averaged radiative temperature. This is caused by the high evapotranspiration from dense vegetation like DooRyu Park in Deagu Metropolitan. But, weak evapotranspiration availability is distinguished over the central part of downtown and the difference of evapotranspiration availability on industrial complexes and residential area is also clear.

Physicochemical properties such as amylose content, swelling power, gelatinization and DSC of legume starches were investigated. The granule shape of legume starches was oval. The size of cowpea and mung bean were smaller than kidney bean and red bean. The amylose content of mung bean and kidney bean was larger and were $25{\sim}29%$. Swelling power of kidney bean starch was much lower than other starches in all temperature range. In gelatinization temperature by Brabender amylogram, red bean starch was low, but kidney bean starch was rather high. Amylographic hot-paste viscosity and set back of cow pea, mung bean and red bean starches were high. But those of kidney bean starch were very low. DSC results Indicated kidney bean starch gelatinized in higher temperature. From above results, row pea and mung bean starches were similar in granule size and shape, solubility and swelling power, amylogram, and DSC thermogram. But kidney bean starch was very different and red bean starch was slightly different with the physicochemical properties of cow pea and mung bean starches.

Purpose - This study investigates the purchase pattern relating to soybean products in Korea. Specifically, the effect of branding based on a regional name was analyzed in terms of consumer purchase frequencies. The primary purpose of this study is to understand why family characteristics affect product selection for a regional brand in the soybean food category. Research design, data, and methodology - We used data collected by the Rural Development Administration (RDA) of Korea. The RDA has monitored agricultural food consumers for years in order to obtain purchase records. Panel participants live in regions near the capital city of Seoul, Korea. Examining data from January 2010 to May 2016, 667 families were selected for analysis. The final data set was 1,335,402. Each purchase item by each individual family was aggregated to a countable weekly observation. To analyze the data set quantitatively, zero-inflation regression was adopted, which was appropriate to avoid biases from overly dispersed observations. Results - We hypothesized the effects of regional branding from the viewpoint of the family characteristics. The first hypothesis was that the number of children would be positively associated with the purchase of a regional brand of soybean products. The result strongly supported this hypothesis. The second hypothesis was that the number of family members would be negatively associated with the purchase of the soybean products of a regional brand. Based on empirical analysis, we concluded that this hypothesis was partially supported. The third hypothesis was the presence of an interaction effect between the number of children and the family size, which was supported by the results. As a supplementary analysis, we also tested mean-variance differences in terms of categories and regional branding with corporate branding. Conclusion - The results of this study provide insights for regional branding strategies in agricultural food management. This study appears to be one of the seminal studies trying to analyze purchase patterns from longitudinal observations. In addition, this study adopted variables characterizing family lifestyle. This study confirmed that children and family size should be considered when soybean product brands are introduced.

Daily dietary intake of 11 organophosphorus pesticides by the Korean population was estimated to be $31{\mu}g$ per person ($0.567{\mu}g$/kg body weight/day) from known residue data on raw agricultural products and food factor based on the Korean diet, for the period of 1986-90. Intake ratio of 11 pesticides by food group was 56% from cereals, 23% from vegetables, 14% from fruits and 7% from legumes and other food materials. The ratio of the dietary intake to the ADI was 6.1% in diazinon, 5.8% in fenthion, 3.3% in fenitrothion, 1.5% in EPN and 1.7% average for 11 individual pesticides whereas the cumulative ratio of 11 pesticides was 18.7%. It is, therefore, proposed that a systematic estimate for the dietary intake of organophosphorus pesticides should be undertaken, although the present intake level would not give any adverse effect to the health of the Korean population under the current situation of pesticide usage.

Peanut (Arachis hypogaea) often causes severe allergic reactions in sensitive people. Agglutinin is known to be one of the allergenic proteins in peanut. A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method was developed to detect peanut ingredients in food using a primer pair corresponding to the agglutinin gene. This primer pair enabled PCR amplification of specific regions of agglutinin DNA from peanut, but not from 11 other nuts, beans, and cereals (pistachio, almond, sunflower seed, pine nut, walnut, soybean, black bean, kidney bean, azuki bean, rice, and black rice). The proposed PCR method successfully identified all of the 6 processed foods containing peanut whereas 13 other processed foods, which don't declare peanuts as an ingredient, were all negative. The detection limit of this method for purified peanut DNA was 100 pg/reaction. The sensitivity of this method was sufficient to detect peanut DNA in soybean DNA mixture which had been spiked with 0.1% peanut DNA.
