This study was to investigate the risk factors for the development of diabetes mellitus on healthy offsprings of Korea non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus(NIDDM) patients. Forty four offsprings who have at least 1 parent with NIDDM and age, sex and body mass index(BMI) matched forty four healthy control subjects were collected for this study. BMI, skinfold thickness, waist/hip circumference ratio(WHR), fasting blood glucose, serum insulin, serum lipid profile, nutrient intakes and food behaviors were measured. There were no significant difference in BMI, WHR, fasting blood glucose, insulin, total cholesterol, triglyceride and daily nutrients intake between offsprings and controls. But skinfold thickness, LDL-cholesterol level and sweety food eating frequency were significantly higher in male offsprings than in male controls. And HDL-cholesterol was significantly lower in male offsprings than in male controls. Although there were no significant difference, offsprings had a overeating habit and ate more confectionery and greasy food than controls.

The aims of this study recognize the limitations of the domestic chocolate market compared to domestic and foreign chocolate market and investigate the strategies for activation of the domestic chocolate culture and development of new chocolate market throughout pointing out the various problems. We analyzed the trends for the food market and confectionery market, main market for chocolate, and also compared domestic and foreign cases for market of chocolate as food or non-food. We sought for solutions and implications for diversification of domestic chocolate market through prospects for the future. Domestic chocolate market is not enough to be competitive compared with overseas market, yet. However, we speculated that domestic chocolate market would gradually develop through fusion with herbal bio-industry as rapid economic development. Besides, we demonstrated a few ways which derive larger development through combination of chocolate market and herbal bio-industry. For these sakes, we suggest that at first, if paradigm which is considered oriental medicinal characters and back innovative and differentiated ideas should be present, the activation of markets of chocolate and herbal bio-industry as well as the diversities of market may be obtained.

Sodium is a component of salt and naturally taken in the process of taking in table salt. For food processing, salt is very important. In general, salt adds flavor and taste including a salty taste and rheologically, it plays an important role in forming tissues. Also, it helps in improving preservability of food by controling growth of microorganisms. But excessive intake of salt has been blamed for outbreak of high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, osteoporosis, kidney stone, stomach cancer and others. For this reason, there are active efforts to reduce sodium of processed foods all around the world. In Korea, a guideline for sodium reduction in 27 items and 44 kinds of foods including confectionery was suggested as part of the 'processed food sodium reduction guideline development project', which has been conducted since 2012.

Purpose - This paper aims to examines the various factors influencing the purchase decisions of Malaysian consumers for halal food and based on this analysis, to present some measures by which Korea's food industry could expand exports to the Malaysian market. Design/methodology - This research used SPSS 12.0 for descriptive analysis, ANOVA, t-tests, factor analysis, cluster analysis, and reliability analysis based on a total of 571 responses were included as the final data in the 600 surveys administered. Findings - Malaysian consumers had high trust and confidence in products that had obtained halal certifications. This reflects the cultural situation where 61% of the Malaysian population consist of Muslims. In terms of the consumption of Korean foods, items such as ramyeon, confectionery, and kimchi were found to enjoy high awareness and strong preference among local consumers, thus suggesting their competitiveness. Originality/value - This paper attempts to examine consumer characteristics - an aspect that had received insufficient treatment in previous studies on halal certifications in Muslim countries. This study found the purchase practices and influencing factors behind Malaysian consumers' purchases of imported foods and Korean foods. Therefore, it is expected that this result can give Korean food industry an insights and strategies for exporting Korean food to Malaysia.

In order to examine the pre-industrial application product quality characteristics of yanggang (a type of traditional Korean confectionery) with varying levels of Palatinose, this study conducted multiple preliminary experiments. By applying different amounts of Palatinose (1%, 2%, 3%, 4%) and adhering to a recipe suitable for commercial products, the yanggang was produced under controlled manufacturing conditions. While the moisture content of the manufactured yanggang adhered to the established manufacturing standard, showing minimal variations, there were statistically significant differences observed with an increase in the Palatinose proportion, exhibiting a trend akin to findings from other yanggang studies. Similarly, there were slight but statistically significant differences observed in soluble solids content and pH, though these differences were not found to have a significant impact. The addition of Palatinose did not induce changes in the elasticity (springiness) and firmness (gumminess) of the yanggang, nor in its chewiness, as the Palatinose content increased. Despite a reduction in calorie content, the addition of Palatinose did not influence the appearance and taste of the yanggang.

Chlorella is an attractive potential food source because it is high in protein and other essential nutrients; when dried, it is about 45% protein, 20% fat, 20% carbohydrate, 5% fibre, and 10% minerals and vitamins. It has been widely used as a well-being food. We investigated the quality characteristics of cookies prepared after addition of various concentrations of chlorella powder (0%, 1%, 3%, and 5%, all w/w) as a substitute for flour. In this study, as chlorella powder concentration rose, decreases in the moisture content, pH, L, a and b value became evident. The spread factor and hardness of the cookies slightly increased after the addition of chlorella powder. Sensory evaluation scores in terms of color, flavor, and texture were statistically very similar, but taste and overall acceptability scores were lower than those of the control. The result of this study showed that the quality of the cookies with the addition of 1% chlorella powder was the best in terms of its taste, flavor, texture, and sensory properties.
