We investigated the antioxidant, physicochemical, and sensory characteristics of dried type sodium-reduced Bibimbap using dandelion complex powder (DCP). DCP is known to add moisture to the skin and relieve symptoms of atopic dermatitis. The sodium content of the standard sample was 1,110.87 mg per serving. The sodium was significantly reduced by 30%, resulting in 762.62 mg of sodium for the reduced sodium group (p<0.05). The ash contents of the standard sample group with DCP showed the highest value (3.17%) in all samples and was affected by minerals of DCP (p<0.05). The total flavonoid contents and ABTS radical scavenging activity, indicators of antioxidant, anticancer and antibacterial activities, showed significantly high activities with addition of DCP (p<0.05). In the sensory results, bulgogi and savory flavor of the samples with DCP showed significantly higher values, and samples with DCP received the highest scores for after-taste. All samples were confirmed to be microbiologically safe according to the food code applied to food manufacturers. Pathogenic microorganisms tests were either negative or not detected in all samples.

This study surveyed the recognition, image, preference, attributes, satisfaction and revisit intention for Korean food of local Vietnamese to facilitate the globalization of Korean food. Most participants had recognized Korean food. and, they were especially aware of kimchi (김치), bulgogi (불고기) and bibimbab (비빔밥), Additionally, most repondents thought these foods represent Korean traditions and culture very well. The image of local Vietnamese for Korean food was good. Which was reflected in Korean food having "a good reputation" and a high possibility for "globalization" were high. This study also investigated 16 kinds of Korean food and found the highest preferences to be for bulgogi (불고기), followed by galbitang (갈비탕), whereas that for doenjangchigae (된장찌개) was lowest. Some of the top choice attributes of Vietnamese for Korean food were found to be in "because it is 'colorful', 'prepared sincerely', 'plated neatly', 'fresh' and 'comes with a variety of banchans (side dishes). This is a very meaningful result, making this an important reference for the globalization of Korean food. The local Vietnamese had high satisfaction and reuse intention degree for Korean food, and especially high satisfaction with the colorfulness of Korean food.

Namul cooked with the standard recipe was examined by research of microbiological test for three months and sensory evaluation of frozen namul after reheating. When the namul was freezed storage, in the microbiological test namul began to change on the 40th day, but there was no problem about stability of storage until 3 months. The overall qualities of taste, flavor, color and texture were examined by sensory evaluation of frozen namul after reheating. The pH was seemed to change slowly, its color was changed on the 20th day from the beginning of storage. Radish root represented substantial difference in texture and overall quality on the 20th day. The off-flavor of immature pumpkin stated on the 25th day. Later 10days nettle tree mushroom began to be changed in its taste, texture, overall quality and appearance, then on the 25th day it was seemed to have low preference. But oak mushroom kept its quality good for 25 days. Oyster mushroom was changed in color, appearance and overall quality on the 20th day. Bracken had low preference in taste, texture and moisture on the 25th day. The color of spinach was changed on the 15th day, and its taste on the 20th day. Soybean sprout was changed in taste, texture and overall quality on the 15th day, and overall quality marked low preference on the 25th day Root of bell flower was changed on the 25th day(p<0.05).

A reduced salt, dry-type bulgogi bibimbap with AF-343 was prepared, and the acceptance, antioxidant antimicrobiological safety were investigated. The acceptance of the reduced salt and the AF-343 added sample, RW, showed the highest value of 5.37 among the samples, but it did not differ significantly from the other samples of the standard sample group. The acceptances of the appearance, aroma, texture, and overall acceptance were not significantly different in all samples (p>0.05). In the DPPH radical scavenging activity, the values of SW and RW with the AF-343 were 15.05 and 14.77, respectively, which were significantly higher than the 9.57 and 10.42 obtained for SWO and RWO without AF-343, respectively (p<0.05). Pathogenic microorganisms tests that were either negative or not detected in any of the samples representing hygiene safety were met in the dried bibimbap against Escherichia coli, pathogenic microorganisms, and general bacteriological tests. The aerobic plate counts were 30.0 CFU/g, indicating that the dry type salt-reduced bibimbap containing AF-343 was within the safety range that meets the safety standards of microorganisms in the food code for commercialization. Therefore, high-quality dry-type reduced salt bibimbap with AF-343 is helpful for antioxidant action and effective for skin moisturizing and can be produced without affecting the taste and palatability.

Western countries came to Asia aggressively in the early 1900s. Westerners who came to Korea at that time also had a various jobs with diplomats, missionaries, doctors, and so on. Korean diet was curious and shocking to foreigners in the early 1990s, so they made a record of the Korean diet. They thought Korea was peaceful, attractive and rich to eat. Koreans ate mainly rice and kimchi, a variety of grains, vegetables and bibimbap. Korea had a variety of meat and fish, seaweed, and herbs(ginseng). Foreigners said Koreans were greedy for food and ate a lot. Koreans ate basically a bowl of rice(bap), a bowl of soup(kuk), kimchi, soy sauce and other dishes. If Koreans wanted to set a table in abundance, they have meat soup(kuk) with meat and additional fish like as raw fish, dried fish, and boiled or fried fish. Korean people had a jangdokdae with Ongki(Earthen jar) where soy sauce(kanjang), soybean paste(doenjang), red pepper paste(kochujang), pickles (jang-achi) have been fermented. Foreigners felt the smell of lacquer tree and kimchi hung in the air from Korean people. While they were compared it to the smell of western rim cheese burger, they said Korea was a country with nasty smell in the feet. By the records of foreigners in the early 1900s, Korean's diets and image were appeared objectively.
