The purpose of this study is to suggest guidelines for analysis acknowledgement, preference with 19 local foods and 3 Koguryo foods in Dan Yang county. The questionnaires are distributed each 150 residence and tourist who visited in Dan Yang county, collected 261, then used for data analysis 232. The results are as followed. First, 4 items among 22 regional foods' marsh snail broth', 'mixed rice with acorn-starch paste', 'mixed rice with various herb', and 'baked deodeok' are ranked highly in acknowledgement and preference. Second, 4 variables which are sex, age, residence or tourists, and income had significant in acknowledgement. Therefore, making Koguryo food town near movie setting place, introduction geographically mark system, and put Dan Yang mark into merchandise would be increased acknowledgement, and also promoted local economic. Third, 3 variables except income had significant in preference. Therefore, functional effect of each food and taste for young generation would be reinforced in preference.

A group of 132 pre-school children with a mean age of six years and one month was the subjects of this investigation. These children were members of three nursery schools locating in Kwang-ju city. Each child's mother replied to a questionaire which included 42 food items and 4 questions. The results showed that the food preference of each child was variable and the group as a whole expressed more positive than negative feelings. The average number of foods liked per child was 22.9(range: $7{\sim}42$) among 42 food items. Peach, Apple, Strawberry, Laver, Egg, Tomato, Sweet Potato, Tangerine Orange and Beef were ranked in descending order of 'like' ratings. The average number of foods refused was 4.9 (range: $0{\sim}25$). Onion, Liver, Red Pepper Leaf, Root of Bellflower, Taro, Wild Seasame Leaf, Egg Plant, Cabbage, Water Cress and Bracken were ranked in descending order of 'refuse' ratings. The odor of hurting feelings, the hot taste and the flabby texture were the reasons why the children refused these foods. The average number of foods unexperienced was 4.4 (range: $0{\sim}14$). Kidney, Dried Small Whitebail, Tangle (DA SHI MA), Liver, SA RI Mushroom, Acorn Mook, Dried Fragrant Mushroom, Pine Agaric, Root of Bellflower and Ped Pepper Leaf were ranked in descending order of 'unexperience' ratings. Children's 'like' rating toward total foods was 57.3% and the 'refuse' rating was 11.7%. Among eight food groups, fruits showed the highest favority (91.4%) and mushroom showed the least (25.9%). The difference between male and female in the preference of total foods did not showed significant level. But the difference were significant in those of individual food groups; other vegetables, green and yellow leafy vegetables, mushrooms(above, p.<01), fishes and shellfish and sea weeds (above, p<.05). Children who had experienced meals missed rated 59.1% and 34.1% of these children missed meals once a week. The main reason for maels missed was due to the heavey snacks before meal time. Children who had snacks twice a day rated 45.6%. Main foods used as their snacks were starch foods (Cake, Biscuit, Sweet Potato) and citrous foods (Fruits, Apple, Tangerine).

Distribution of polyphenolic compounds in oak tree (Quercus acutissima, three years old) collected from Forest Research Institute located in Kwang Leung, Kyeonggi-do, Korea, was investigated using chromatographic studies. Total 25 polyphenolic fractions were separated from an oak tree, of which 15, 11, 7, 7, and 4 were in leaf, stem, root, bark, and seed, respectively. Catechins are predominant compounds in the polyphenols and some flavonoids were also identified. Distribution of polyphenols was relatively different in each part. Polyphenols in all of the part studied, except leaf where polymer was not detected, were existed as polymeric, oligomeric, and monomeric forms. Relative contents of total polyphenols in Quercus acutissima were the highest in bark, followed by root, leaf, acorn, and stem. Monomeric polyphenols were the predominant compounds present in all of the part of the oak tree.

Modern ceramics is exploring the expansion of the area with various expression techniques. The silhouette technique among various expressive decoration techniques is a representative expression technique of object form expression. This emphasizes the outline of the form and expresses it and omits the inner form. It gives simplicity and intensity, and awakens aesthetic sensibility and imagination. Therefore, the researcher designed the material related to the core image of the story by designing it as a silhouette technique by using the "Acorn Story" as a subject and then making the transfer paper by using the vector graphic. The transferred paper was expressed on a ceramic plate by transferring technique. Therefore, I hope that this research, beyond the merely decorative function of ceramic expression, will become a ceramic design that will awaken imagination and aesthetic sensibility in digital information age.

This study was conducted to test the significant difference of fertility variation among families and to select superior families for acorn production in the breeding seedling seed orchards (BSSOs) of Quercus acuta and Quercus glauca. The seed orchards were located in Jeju island and established by seedlings raised from selected parents for genetic testing in 2006. In the spring of 2021, the numbers of female and male flower were counted from 5 to 10 individuals per family in the BSSOs. To test statistical significance of which parameter is not satisfied through the normality test, we used a nonparametric analysis. Correlation analysis was performed to quantify the association between female and male flower production. As the results, the significant difference of flower production among families was found in both seed orchards. The averages of female flower production were 65.3 and 181.9 in Q. acuta and Q. glauca. The positive Spearman's rank correlation was existed between male and female flower production. Broad-sense heritability on female and male flower production were 0.191 and 0.147 in Q. acuta, and 0.285 and 0.068 in Q. glauca, respectively. Sexual asymmetry (e.g., maleness index) between female and male, and contribution variation among families (e.g., parental balance) were analyzed to find reasonable alternatives in the management of seed orchards. Effective population size of seed crops was predicted as a concept of status number. Loss of gene diversity (accumulation of group coancestry) would not be alarming in the BSSOs. Our results would be helpful to select breeding materials for establishing new seed orchards and to supply genetically improved seeds of evergreen oaks, which is one of the backbones of the strategy of carbon sink in the 2050 Carbon Neutrality of Korea Forest Service.

The agriculture of Korea was begun in the neolithic era partly and generalized around 4,000 B.C. Discovery of acorn and stoneworks used in agriculture in neolithic era in 8,000 B.C to 6,000 B.C suggests that prehistoric ancestors of Korean night use acorn, hazel-nuts, and haws, etc. as foods. Cultivation of chestnuts, peaches, plums, pears, and japanese apricots was found in Mahan, the tribal states, and in the period of three kingdoms and Balhae dynasty too. In the period of Koryo, pears, plums, japanese apricots, pine nuts, apricots, grapes, jujubes, gingko nuts, oranges, and citrons were cultivated and used in diet. Sejongsilrokjiriji(1454), a geography of the early chosun, and Sinjungtonggukyojisungnam(1492) show that they cultivated almost all fruits we are now cultivating such as hazel-nuts, haws, nutmeg nut, and so on. Loquats seem to be brought in the early chosun era and figs around 16th century. Pecans, sweet cherries were brought around 1,900 and recently tropical fruits like kiwis were brought in and used in a large scale. In addition, Some fruits were used in medical treatments. Fruits increase the pleasure of the diet and sometimes they are used as a measure of a standard of living. Fruits have been improved and used for a long time, their status in our diet will be maintained resolutly.

4 strains of the oak mushroom Lentinus edodes including the strain ASI 3046 were collected home and abroad to investigate the characterics of mycelial growth on synthetic media and sawdust media. The possibility of artificial culture of Lentinus edodes on media composed of different saw dusts and adding materials was investigated. Results were as follows: The optimum temperature for growth ranged from $22^{\circ}C$ to $26^{\circ}C$ among the lineages of Lentinus edodes. The optimal growth temperature for ASI 3046 strain and ASI 3047 strain was $26^{\circ}C$ and $22^{\circ}C$, respectively. The optimal carbon source for ASI 3046 strain was glucose, and peptone and ammoinum tartrate were proved excellent as nitrogen sources. When Lentinus edodes was cultured on sawdust media by varying the mixing ratio of different sawdusts and adding materials, mixed sawdust media composed of oak sawdust(50%, v/v), poplar sawdust(50%, v/v), acorn powder(5%, v/v) and rice bran(10%, v/v) showed higher yields of fruit bodies. Results showed that the ideal strain of Lentinus edodes for artificial culture on sawdust media was strain ASI 3046.

Cyllorhynchites ursulus drills holes in acorn and cuts branches with mandibles. To understand this special behavior, we observed the mouthpart of this species using several microscope methods. The stereoscopic microscope used in this study shows that the adductor tendon is thicker than the abductor tendon which confirms that mandibles exert more force pulling inwards than pushing outwards. Also, the shape and position differences were observed using an optical microscope. We found differences of the shape, position, and movement of mandibles among C. ursulus, Curculio sikkimensis and Paracycnotrachelus longiceps by way of observation using SEM. The width of the adductor tendon and the abductor tendon of males of the C. ursulus species was 32.87 ㎛, and 53.83 ㎛, respectively. And, the width of females was 40.81 ㎛ and 75.55 ㎛, respectively. Based on a variety of observations and analyses, we found that the unusual behavior of C. ursulus is deeply related to the morphological features, and these features could be applied to biomimicry.

Thermal properties of 12 Korean foods were determined by using an apparatus constructed by authors. Specific heat of acorn mook showed the highest value $(0.856\;kcal/kg{\cdot}^{\circ}C)$ and that of Chungkookjang the lowest value $(0.606\;kcal/kg{\cdot}^{\circ}C)$ among 12 foods investigated. Thermal conductivity of the salted wild sesame leaf at the initial temperature of $20^{\circ}C$ was found to be the highest $(0.451\;kcal/m{\cdot}h{\cdot}^{\circ}C)$ among the foods investigated and that of mungbean mook the lowest$0.304\;kcal/m{\cdot}h{\cdot}^{\circ}C$. Thermal conductivity appeared to get higher as the initial temperature increased from $20^{\circ}C\;to\;60^{\circ}C$. Thermal diffusivity of Kochujang was the highest $(0.0877\;cm^2/min)$ and the mungbean mook the lowest($(0.0518\;cm^2/min)$ among the foods investigated. Thermal conductivity of foods also appeared to increase as the initial temperature increased. The difference between the calculated values and the measured values was very small (1.655 residual percent in the statistical analysis).

Gel properties of Mook manufactured from acorn harvested in various countries [domestic (KAS), Chinese (CAS), and North Korea (NAS)] were analyzed according to storage period. Gel properties included water binding, syneresis of gel, DSC (differential scanning calorimetry), X-ray diffraction, SEM (scanning electron microscopy), texture, Hunter's color value, and sensory value. Water binding of NAS, CAS, and KAS were 233.8%, 217.3%, and 215.0%, respectively. Syneresis of gel from KAS, CAS, and NAS were 2.06%, 1.85%, and 1.45%, respectively, after 1 day of storage. There were significant differences upon storage for 1~3 days (p<0.05), whereas were no significant differences upon storage for 4~10 days. Peak temperature of gelatinization property by DSC was $55.28^{\circ}C$ for KAS, $54.45^{\circ}C$ for CAS, and $54.12^{\circ}C$ for NAS after 1 day of storage. Hardness of texture in NAS, KAS, and CAS were 374.9, 357.4, and 348.9, respectively, after 1 day of storage. Hunter's color L value, and a value were highest in NAS, whereas b value was the lowest in CAS. There were no significant differences in any particular sensory values.
