The Na, component of salt, can increase the risk of high blood pressure and hypertension. Especially, children are exposed to an increased risk of high sodium intake, because they often consume Na-rich processed foods and commercially prepared foods in the street. However, the database for the sodium and chloride content for these children's favorite foods is insufficient. In this study, the Na and Cl contents in 89 children's favorite foods were analyzed by using Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis (INAA) method. The analyzed food items were presented after being classified into 33 kinds of food groups. The Na contents in 100 g children's favorite foods ranged from 0.3 mg to 35.1mg in fruits, 28.9mg to 82.5mg in milks, 127.2 mg to 602.2 mg in breads, cakes, sandwiches, and rice cakes, 2.5 mg to 1169.9 mg in candies, cookies and ice creams, 226.9 mg to 693.7 mg in commercially prepared street foods, and 103.4 mg to 875.8 mg in fast foods of westernized restaurant. Among children's favorite food groups, 100 g fried chicken, hotdog, burgers, and donuts contained an average Na of 536 mg, 553 mg, 794 mg, and 562.2 mg, respectively, so they are classified as 'high Na foods'. In contrast, 100 g fruits and dairy products contained Na an average 4.9 mg and 43.4 mg, respectively, being classified as 'low Na foods'. One serving of ramen, mandu noodle, and burger pizza can supply over 667mg Na, which is one third of the KDRI targeted intake. Likewise, the Cl contents in children's favorite foods were diverse according to food groups. The Cl contents in the analyzed foods differed from the 1.5 times of Na content, which is assumed in general. This study showed that the Na and Cl contents in children's favorite foods are very diverse. Conclusively, a strategy to reduce Na contents in the fast foods such as noodles and westernized restaurant foods is necessary for children health.

It has been reported that trans fat (tFA) may have adverse or beneficial effect depending upon the position and number of double bonds. The presence of tFA in human tissues and fluids is related to dietary intake, intestinal absorption, metabolism and storage, exchanges among compartments. This study investigated the effect of breads containing tFA, soybean or rice on postprandial plasma fatty acid and lipid composition. 33 healthy volunteers were divided into 3 groups and fed soybean bread, rice bread or wheat bread groups containing equivalent amounts of tFA (elaidic acid rich, 3.75 g/day), respectively. Postprandial lipid profiles at 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 hours after a respective meal were studied. Plasma fatty acid was extracted by the method of Folch and methyl ester of fatty and prepared by acid transmethylation and analyzed by Gas Chromatography. Peaks were identified using pure reference compounds and quantified. Postprandial data indicated that consumption of soybean and rice breads with 3.75 g tFA retarded the appearance of C18:1 and C18:2 tFA in plasma lipid compared to that of wheat bread. Futhermore, soybean and rice bread groups showed lower plasma saturated fatty acid levels than wheat bread group. Postprandial TG level was significantly lowered in soybean bread group compared to that of rice and wheat bread groups. These results imply that soybean bread with high dietary fiber content and biologically active substances may inhibit or delay lipid absorption.

This study evaluate the quality characteristics and antioxidative properties of acorn starch mook containing spirulina (0%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%) and soy protein (3%). The pH of acorn starch mook containing the spirulina and soy protein decreased with increasing amount of spirulina decrease in pH means an increase in acidity. In addition, the moisture content was 87%. The lightness of acorn starch mook containing spirulina and soy protein decreased with increasing amount of spirulina and soy protein. The L and a values of the Hunter color system were decreased significantly increasing spirulina content, and the b value increased. In contrast, with increasing spirulina and soy protein content, the L and a increased significantly and the b value. Texture analysis revealed higher hardness and springiness of acorn starch mook containing spirulina than the control. The total phenol content was highest in the acorn starch mook containing 1.5% spirulina and 3% soy protein. The antioxidant activities of the acorn starch mook containing spirulina and soy protein increased with increasing amount of spirulina and soy protein. The $IC_{50}$ value of 1.5% spirulina and 3% soy protein was 166.2 mg/mL for DPPH. The results of the sensory test were best in the acorn starch mook containing 1% spirulina.

This study focused on the efficiency of Jeung-Pyun by examining its physical and chemical characteristics based on dough made with milk additions of 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 g, in order to complement Jeung-Pyun's insufficient protein with respect to sitology, and its fermentation process. Moisture contents were approximately 50%, and there were no significant differences between the samples. The protein, fat, and ash contents of the groups with added milk were more than those of the control group, and the greater the addition of milk the more the levels increased. Therefore, the 20 g addition showed the highest values. The pH of the Jeung-Pyun dough was near 4.09${\sim}$5.15 just after mixing, and as fermentation time increased, the pH decreased significantly in all the sample groups (p<.001). The pH of the Jeung-Pyun ranged from 4.12 to 4.40 and had a tendency to increase. The volume of the Jeung-Pyun dough increased as fermentation time increased, and the groups with added milk had larger volumes than the group with no milk added. Also, the greater the addition of milk the more the volume tended to show a significant increase (p<.001). At eight hours of fermentation time, the group with 10 g of added milk showed a 1.31-fold increase in volume compared to the control, and milk additions of 15 and 20 g resulted in decreased volume by a depression phenomenon. For the volume of the Jeung-Pyun, the addition of milk caused significant increases (p<.001) compared to the control, and the group with the 10 g addition of milk showed the highest volume. As the amount of added milk increased, the more the volume decreased as a whole. With regards to the swelling degree of the Jeung-Pyun the groups with added milk had greater swelling than the control, but there were no significant differences. The group that had 10 g of milk added showed the highest value.

This study aimed increase the quality during ripening of Cheddar cheese made with proteinase-negative mutant of Streptococcus lactis KCTC 1913 selected by curing. The degradation of protein during cheese ripening were investigated by electrophoresis and chromatography. The results were summarized as follow ; 1. The number of lactic acid bacteria decreased with the ripening stage, and that of the control cheese decreased faster than that of the cheese made with mutant. 2. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic analysis of cheese caseins revealed no difference between the cheese made with mutant and the control cheese, but differences along with the ripening stage were evident. 3. On Sephadex G-25 column chromatography, the extracts of bitter components from the green cheese and 3 month ripended cheese were fractionated into 3 fractions. With the progress of ripening, bitter peptides were degraded to rather small peptides or free amino acids. 4. Sensory evaluation of the 3 month ripended Cheddar cheese found no significant differences in color but the cheese made with mutant evidenced higher palatability in flavor and better texture than the control cheese. 5. The yields of the cheddar cheese made with mutant was 0.14% higher than that of the control cheese.
