The relationship among food behavior, psychological factor(life strees) and perceive tiredness was investigated in 514 adolescents. Tiredness was measured in four cases: in lessons, before school, in the early evening and at weekends. Adolescents felt most tired in lessons and before school, and leat at weekends. Irregularity of meal times and skipping breakfast were positively correlated with tiredness in lessons and befor school. Consumption of some foods was related to perceived tiredness. High sugar or fat containing ice-cream, hamburger of fizzy drinks in boys, and crisps and cookies in girls were positively associated with tiredness. Whereas beans and mushrooms were negatively associated with tiredness in girls. Life stress(by scholastic problem and personal problem) of adolescents was positively related to tiredness. The contribution of stress to tiredness was much greater than of food behavior according to multiple linear regression .There was no relationship between nutrients intake and tiredness in lessons and before school which were more strongly influenced by stress, whereas the relationship was found at weekend without influences of stress. The more tired, the lower NARs(nutrient adequacy ratio) of energy, phosphorus, vitamin A, vitamin B$_2$, and niacin were. In conclusion, some eating behavior and psychological factor can cause tiredness in adolescents, but tiredness in school and before school had more of a psychological cause than at weekend.

Purpose: This descriptive study aimed to compare the perception of the acceptable foods for the neutropenic diet between nurses and patients by food type. Methods: The participants were 225 nurses working at chemotherapy wards and 71 patients in chemotherapy treatment. Data were collected with a self-administered questionnaire from January 2 to February 24, 2012, and analyzed with SPSS 12.0 program using descriptive statistics and the ${\chi}^2$-test. Results: Eighty-eight point eight percent of nurses and 76.1% of cancer patients thought the patients needed the neutropenic diets. The most important decisional criteria to determine dietary restriction was neutrophil count for nurses and food type for patients. The two groups showed significantly different allowance to raw fruits and raw vegetables, sterilized canned juice, fried vegetables, yogurt, uncooked tofu, salted fish, cooked fish, cooked shellfish, uncooked grain powder, jellified food, home-made bread/cookies, nuts including peanuts, instant coffee or tea and tea brewed. In general, patients were more permissive about the neutropenic diet than nurses. Conclusion: It is recommended to consider patients' preference as well as nurses' professional knowledge and publish standardized clinical diet guidelines for neutropenic patients with collaboration between nurses and patient representatives.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of household type on the health- and food-related behavior of the elderly. The survey was conducted on 304 free-living elderly persons in Chun-Chon city in 1999. The subjects were divided into three groups by their household types : living alone (n=35), living with their spouses (n=59), and living with their extended family (n=191). The results were obtained by personal interviews using questionnaires. Compared to the group living with their spouses and/or extended families, the elderly living alone were : less satisfied with the amount of monthly pocket money available; less involved in social activities; taking less vitamin supplements; doing less physical exercise; more frequently skipping meals and dining out; less frequently consuming meats, vegetables, fruits and seaweed; and having the highest rate of depression. The elderly living with their spouses tended to have the best physical functions and the greatest ability to carry out basic daily activities. The elderly living with their extended families had a higher incidence of diseases compared to the other groups. The preferred snacks were cookies for the elderly living alone, and fruits for the other two groups. In summary, it has been shown that household type should be taken into consideration for formulating adequate future strategies for effective health and nutrition programs.

This study involved the making of sugar snap cookies with the addition of carrot powder at two to twelve percent which furnishes modern people with much lacking and needed dietary fiber. The review of the physiochemical properties, rheology and sensory evaluation of such contents resulted in the following findings: The sedimentation value and Pelshenke value all decreased in weak flour with the addition of more carrot powder, in comparison with the control group. The water retention capacity (WRC) and alkaline water retention capacity (AWRC) all increased in weak flour with the addition of more carrot powder in comparison with the control group. As for the gelatinization properties of the test samples measured by rapid visco-analysis, the addition of more carrot powder resulted in the initial pasting temperatures increasing in the case of weak flour, yet showing no significant difference between the control group and the carrot-added groups, as well as the maximum viscosity, minimum viscosity and final viscosity all showed the tendency of decreasing. The addition of more carrot powder led to the peak times in the mixographs for weak flour all exhibiting the tendency of decreasing, which might be interpreted as gradually weaker physical properties of the dough as well as less stability in the shape of the dough in turn.

This study was performed to describe the overall sanitation of baking utensils and equipments, employees, and environment in 9 bakeries. Microbiological tests on employees, utensils and equipments, were done according to standard procedure and included total plate count, coliforms, fungi and Staphylococcus aureus.. Microbiological testing is a value in determining hazards for developing a HACCP plan but were not detected throat and employee's hands before use. Staphylococcus aureus was detected nasal cavity and employees's hands after use. Employee's apron after use was detected fungi and coliform and was risk factor of cross-contamination to bread or cookies et al. Generally hygienic conditions of pan, kitchen board, knife, brush, and wooden scoop were worse than those of other baking utensils such as tray, bread tweezers, dusting brush and dish cloth. And refrigerator, freezer and fermentation chamber were detected fungi and coliforms. Total plate count of heating table, working table, distribution table, washbowl and refrigerator was increased in 2nd period. Temperature of refrigerator was 10.43$^{\circ}C$ and strict temperature control of refrigerations needs. Therefore, baking utensils and equipments were reguraly need to sterilize and clean. Additionary, it need to practice the effective sanitation education and training program for the bakery managers and employees.

This study was designed to establish Korean food culture by analyzing 17 sets of Jinyounuigue, Jinchanuigue, and Jinjarkuigue which were the records of royal party procedures in Yi dynasty, Analysis was made on royal parties in terms of table setting, kinds of dishes served, composition of foods, frequency of the food materials used, and food items changed over the period from 1719 to 1902, the latter half period of Yi dynasty. Foods used in those parties were classified into seven groups in this study; rice and noodoes, side dishes, Docks, desserts, fruits and nuts, beverages, and sauces. There were about 10 kinds of steamed rice and noodles including Mandoo and Byungtang, 140 different kinds of side dishes, 53 kinds of Kocks, 142 kinds of various desserts, especially Dasik and Korean cookies, 38 kinds of fruits and nuts, 10 kinds of beverages including Hwachae and Sujeongkwa, and 10 kinds of sauces such as soy sauce, mustard, honey, and etc. There was no tendency in omission or addition of food materials, but the number and heights of dishes were designated by the scale or character of the party. There were unique measuring units that were quite different from metric system. More than 30 different units were appeared in the differences. Most of them were used for typical items such as Sari for noodles only. However some were quite general and used until now. Mal and Dye were the units for volume, Kwan and Kuen for weight, and Chock and Chon for length.

Dessert Ateliers (DA) are small shops that sell high-end homemade desserts such as macaroons, cakes, and cookies, and their popularity is increasing according to the emergence of small luxury trends. Even though each DA sells the same kinds of desserts, they are differentiated by the personality of their pastry chef; thus, there is a need to purchase desserts online that customers cannot see and purchase offline, and thus dessert e-commerce has emerged. However, it is impossible for customers to identify all the information of each DA and clearly understand customers' preferences when buying desserts through the dessert e-commerce. When a dessert e-commerce service provides a DA recommendation service, customers can reduce the time they hesitate before making a decision. Therefore, this paper proposes two kinds of DA recommendation method: a clustering-based recommendation method that calculates the similarity between customers' content and DAs and a dynamic weighting-based recommendation method that trains the importance of decision factors considering customer preferences. Various experiments were conducted using a real-world dataset to evaluate the performance of the proposed methods and it showed satisfactory results.

This study was conducted to develop a optimal composite recipe of a functional cookie including Red Ginseng powder and having the high preference to all age groups. Wheat flour was partially substituted by Red Ginseng powder to reduce the content of wheat flour. The sensory optimal composite recipe was produced by making iced cookies, with 5 levels of Red Ginseng $powder(X_1),\;sugar(X_2),\;butter(X_3)$, respectively, by C.C.D(Central Composite Design) and by conducting the sensory evaluation and the instrumental analysis by Response Surface Methodology(RSM). The results of sensory evaluation showed very significant values in color, appearance, texture, overall quality(p<0.05), flavor(p<0.01) and those of instrumental analysis showed significant values in lightness, redness(p<0.05), spread ratio, hardness(p<0.01). As a result, sensory optimal ratio of Red Ginseng cookie was calculated at Red Ginseng powder 25.4 g, sugar 147.1 g, butter 153.4 g.
