This study was conducted to investigate students' food consumption including potentially hazardous food (PHF) and food preference in elementary school lunch menus. High protein foods and raw or cooked vegetable dishes in the menus for three weeks were grouped as PHF-1 and PHF-2, respectively. Three hundred eight-four children from three different elementary schools, aged 10 to 12 years, completed the questionnaire that asked them to report on how much they eat, what foods they like the most and the least, and why they did not like it. Chisquare test was used to analyze the differences among schools, Evades and genders far food consumption using the SPSS. Results showed that students were exposed to at least two kinds of PHF in school lunches per day. 89% and 82% of students ate 100% amount of PHF-1 and PHF-2, respectively. There were significant differences in the amount of food consumption by school and day served. Students preferred high protein foods, such as meat ball, pork and chicken barbecues, which were consumed the most. These data indicate that appropriate control measures or procedure is needed to manage hazards associated with PHF in the menu items to decrease the risk of foodborne illness in school lunch.

This research was aimed at evaluating the effects of natural antioxidants on lipid oxidation and sensory quality in cooked, chill- stored and reheated Wanjajun prepared with pork meat (short shank). Sage (SA) and combinations of herbs; basil/mints (BM), rosemary/parsley/thyme (RPT) were used as sources of antioxidants. The products were pan-fried in a medium layer of soybean oil and then stored in a refrigerator at 3$^{\circ}C$ for 8 days after rapid chilling. The process of heat treatment of Wanjajun caused changes in the chemical composition of products and simultaneously, thermal oxidative reaction was initiated. During storage of products in a refrigerator, further hydrolytic and oxidative processes in the lipid extraction were progressed. Acid value was increased, peroxides and malonaldehyde formation gradually were increased during cool storage. Addition of garlic, sage and combinations of herbs retarded the process of oxidation. Wanjajun made with addition of SA and RPT showed good quality in antioxidative potential after 8 days of storage. The sensory effect of herbs on undesirable warmed-over flavor was in order of : SA>RPT>BM.

The purpose of this research is to investigate Chinese's preference and directions for improvement of Kimchi by sensory evaluation, and utilize Kimchi for the China eating habit by survey. Self administered questionnaires were collected 149 Chinese (16~25 yr) residing in Shanghai. About 89.9% of all the participants had eaten Kimchi before the survey. Overall preference about Kimchi was 3.59$\pm$0.62 (5 point: Lickertis scale) and affecting factors for overall preference were taste, appearance, texture, in that order. Chinese answered that tough texture (24.9%), spicy taste (20.5%) and fermented odor (18.1%) were the most important factors in improved quality of Kimchi. They answered that applications of Kimchi with Chinese cuisine are 'side dish with meat cuisine', 'eat with cooked rice, rice-mixed-in-soup, gruel' and 'use ingredients of cook', as similar to Korean's.

The general meal intake survey in two regional areas(Seoul and Andong in Kyungsangbuk province) was conducted to investigate what the Korean favorite dishes are, as a part of study on their blood glucose responses. The survey was carried out to fill up the 45 kinds of questionnaires to adults over 20 years old. The age of subjects was evenly distributed from twenties to fifties and 54% of them was middle class, whose monthly income was between a million won and two million won. The 72% of subjects mixed cereals(mainly barley, soybean) with rice but about 28% did not. Domestic meals except general Korean meals were bibimbab and kimblb. Major noodles at home was ramen and kalgugsu(home made noodle) and 50% of the subjects took the noodle with small amounts of steamed rice. The 41% of subjects took the gug(Korean soup) in every meal and the major soup was vegetable doengang soup, sea mustard soup, beef soup and soybean sprout soup in order. The 87% of subjects took either soup or pot stew, and doenjang pot stew and kimchi pot stew were mainly used. The number of side dishes except soup, pot stew and kimchi was 3∼4. The side dishes in meat was cooked mainly with beef and pork. The favorite cooking type of fish is roasting one. Two kinds of kimchi were served in every meal and the major kimchi was cabbage kimchi, kkagdugi(radish cube kimchi), yulmu kimchi in order. The major meal of eating out was galbitang and bibibbab in Korean style, jjajangmyon in Chinese one, pork cutlet in western one and hamburger as a fast food.

The Korean frozen pork loins in vacuum packaged were obtained from three different Korean export companies and investigated for pH, proximate composition, cooking loss, physico-chemical and sensory characteristics. The frozen pork loins were stored at -20$^{\circ}C$ for 40 days. The results were as follows: The protein contents were relatively higher in the samples from the company II and the ash contents were relatively higher in the samples from the company I than those from the other companies. The samples from the company Ⅱ had highest pH and water-holding capacity, and cooking loss and shear force were lowest in the company II. The total plate counts and coliform bacteria for loins from 3 companies were in the range of 3.04${\sim}$3.75 log cfu/$cm^2$ or g and 0.37${\sim}$1.32 log cfu/$cm^2$ or g in average, respectively. The TBARS values were 0.35${\sim}$0.38 mg malonaldehyde/kg sample. There were no significant differences in sensory characteristics for raw and cooked loins from all companies.

The pork loin used in this study was obtained from carcass chilled for 24 hours after slaughter and divided into 2 pare. The first part was air packaged and the other part was vacuum packaged, both of which were chilled at $4^{\circ}C$. After 2 days of slaughter, the qualities of air packaged loin chilled for 1 day showed lower drip lose, higher water holding capacity and better sensory texture than the vacuum packaged port (p<0.05). On the other hand, the air packaged loin chilled for 2 days showed lower drip loss and shear force value(SFV), higher Hunter's $a^*$ value, higher amount of taurine and alanine, and better taste, texture, juiciness and palatability than the vacuum packaged pork (p<0.05). However, the air packaged loin chilled for 3 days showed lower hip loss, chewiness SFV, higher amount of VBN $(12.37\;mg\%)$ and total plate count $(2.6\times10^4\;CFU/cm^2)$ than the vacuum packaged pork chilled for the same day (p<0.05). for the same chilling period, there was not significant difference between air and vacuum packaged pork in pH, TBA value, $L^*$ value, $b^*$ value, cooking loss, hardness, springness, cohesiveness, gumminess, total free amino acid contents and cooked meat aroma (p>0.05). Considering all these results, it is recommended that the way of air packaging for the pork with a short storing period should be reconsidered to cut down expenses.

Emulsification sausages were prepared in 3 different ways: T1: fat added after ice, T2: fat added before ice, T3: all ingredients added together. Each sample was ground for 4.5 min by a silent cutter at $15^{\circ}C$ and emulsified batters were stuffed into fibrous casing and then cooked for 40 min at $78^{\circ}C$ to determine the effect of the order of ingredient addition on the qualities of emulsion type sausage. The pH of T1 sausage was significantly higher, whereas the pH of T3 was significantly lower compared with the other samples(p<0.05). The shear force was significantly higher in T1 sausage, however the hardness and gumminess were significantly lower in T1 sausage compared with other two types(p<0.05). With regard to sensory evaluation, the relative amounts of flavor can be summarized as T2>T1>T3, and the color was significantly higher in T1 and T2 compared with T3(p<0.05). There was no significant difference among the test sausages with regard to aroma, juiciness, tenderness and overall acceptability(p>0.05). There were no significant differences in free moisture, water holding capacity(WHC), meat color and texture properties such as brittleness, cohesiveness, springiness and chewiness. As a result of this study, the sausage were much for sausage prepared by adding the fat after the ice(T1) than the other sausage samples in which fat was added after ice to make emulsion type sausages.

The quality characteristics of brand and non-brand Korean beefs, found in retail circulation, were studied via physicochemical and microbiological analysis and sensory tests. The average price of 100 g of brand Korean beef sirloin was 7.6 USD (1USD=950won), while the price of non-brand Korean beef was 3.1 USD. The fat content of the brand beef seemed to be higher, yet the difference was not significant. In both the brand and non-brand beefs, pH levels were approximately 5.27 We found that lightness (Hunter L value) tended to be higher in the brand beef, but again, this difference was not significant. For the cooked beef texture, the brand beef seemed to have lower gumminess, and had significantly less fracturability, than the non-brand beef. Significant differences could not be found with regards to microbiological stability between the two types of beef. In the raw beef sensory test, significant differences were identified for meat color, fat color, fat in muscle, flavor, and general preference. Also, the after cooking sensory test showed that brand beef had better characteristics for color, flavor, juiciness, softness, taste, chewiness, and preference.

Four different extraction and purification methods were evaluated to determine the heterocyclic amines (HCAs) in fried pork patties. Pork patties were cooked in the teflon-coated electric frying pan at $230^{\circ}C$ for 8 min per side. HCAs in the fried pork patties were extracted and purified using four different solid-phase extraction (SPE) methods and quantitated by LC-MS (API-ESI). Recovery of four different extraction and purification methods was evaluated by comparing the HCAs amounts quantified by the standard addition method. Validation of extraction and purification methods for fried pork patties was determined to establish accurate sample preparation. The recoveries of HCAs from different SPE methods were calculated. The recovery yields were 15.7-68.7% (Polar amine group) and 25.0-74.7% (less-polar amine group) in method A. Method D provided recovery yields ranging from 14.1% to 68.7% in polar amine groups and from 3.0% to 72.3% in less-polar amine groups, respectively. Modified procedures of Method A and D were the most suitable extraction and purification method for HCAs analysis from fried pork patties.
