In order to investigate if nutrition-related TV programs give the public correct and useful imformation, 26 producers(PD) having worked for any one of the nutirtion-related TV programs were surveyed by using questionnaire on the attitudes toward seeking an expert's advice about the issues and the panelist's constitution of one typical nutrition-related TV show program broadcasted during the last 5 years was analyzed. The most important reason for selecting the nutrition-related issues was to satisfy the interests and demands of audiences. Both being motivated by food-related accidents and to educate people for the health promotion were the second ones. In the process of nutrition-related program production, 53.9% of PDs always requested expert's advice, while 46.1% occasionally did. Professors in food and nutrition were regarded as the most proper advisor. Dietitians, physicians and physicians of Chinese medicine wer the next in order. The similar pattern were shown in the rankd of specialists actually invited as panelists to the program. Both the speciality and being well-known were less positive and favorable for participating in the program compared to experts in other areas. The number of programs about food and nutrition broadcasted on the TV show during 1993-1997(July) was 361(about 30%). The total of 1,043 specialists appeared, 2.9 persons per program on the average. Of these, only 12.9% were professors in food and nutrition as well as dietitians. The largest(20.2%) was physicians or medical professors, and 13.6% cooks and 12.6% physicians of Chinese medicine. Of 361 programs 45 were thought to be undesirable on the panelist constitution. Particualrly in 19 programs, where nutritionists were not invited, physicians or physicians of Chinese medicine explained diet therapy, food, nutrient or dietary habit.

This research analyzed consumer culture and usage of sugar in modern times based on 12 modern popular Korean cooking books with sugar recipes. Procedures were formed via textual analysis. The outcomes of the study can be summarized in brief statements. According to "Banchandeungsok", "Booinpilj", and "Chosunmoossangsinsikyorijebeob", sugar was utilized in 34 out of 663 or 5.1% of cooked foods during the 1910s to 1920s. According to books such as "Ganpyounchosunyorijebeob", "Ililhwalyongsinyoungyangyoribeob", "Chosun's cooking of the four seasons", "Halpaengyoungoo", "Chosunyorijebeob", and "Required reading for housewife", sugar was added to 165 out of 998 or 16.5% of cooked foods during the 1930s. According to the books like "Chosunyorihak", "Chosunyoribeob", and "Woorieumsik", sugar was an ingredient in 241 out of 756 or 31.9% of cooked foods during the 1940s. Sugar depicted within the 12 modern popular Korean cooking books primarily functioned as an alternative sweetener, starch, sweet enhancer, preservative, and seasoning. Similar to illustrated sugar from modern popular Korean cooking books, sugar has continually been favored by Korean cooks starting from the 1910s with 5.1% usage, the 1930s with 16.5% usage, and the 1940s with 31.9% usage. Despite its short history, sugar's culinary importance in Korea has been on the rise ever since the early 1900s. Although sugar is an exotic spice in Korea, it has gained social, cultural, and symbolic recognition as well as practicality within Korean food culture. Thus, it has become more internalized and familiarized as an inseparable sweetness that characterizes current Korean food.

This study was conducted to identify the job stress factors of school foodservice employees and to examine the relationship between job stress and turnover intention through path analysis. Data was collected using a survey of 432 school foodservice employees in elementary and secondary schools in Masan, Kyungsangnam-do. All of the participants were female, and 165(52.9%) were over the age of 45' Additionally, 310(99.4%) of the respondents were married, while 287(92.0%) had less than a high school level of education. Furthermore, 271(86.9%) of the respondents were cooks. Overall, 107(34.3%) of the respondents had worked in the food industry for less than $5{\sim}10$ years. In addition, 208 (66.7%) respondents answered that they had 'never' changed jobs. Among job characteristics that causes job stress, job posture was the primary stress factor, followed by heavy work load and job condition. Job stress was found to be significantly correlated with turnover intention. Additionally, job position was the only moderating variable that was found to be correlated with job characteristics and job stress. Finally, the moderating variables influencing the effects of job stress on turnover intention were identified as performance confidence, job career, and job position. The results of this study will be useful for future studies conducted to evaluate the development of job environments and performance to minimize turnover and job inefficiency as a result of job stress.

With increases in senior citizens and changes in family structure, the need for long-term care system for elderly is increasing, however, the capacity and environment of Korean facilities are very limited. Health and nutritional status of long-term care residents are worse than free-living elderly. In this study, general food service management and health care practices in long-term care systems were investigated. Questionnaire were sent to the directors of all 162 long-term care facilities in Korea and 81 returned the complete answers. The results showed 1) There are slow but steady increase in long-term care systems in Korea, however, the capacity is far from adequate. Less than 10,000 elderly were resided in the facilities. Most of the systems were free-nursing homes and supported by the goverment. Staffing structure revealed that most of the facilities had a director, a secretary, nurses, but only 21% of the systerm hired a dietitian. It showed the shortage of nurses, physical therapists, and dietitians. Therefore, food purchasing, menu planning, food delivery, and the other food service management processes are handled by non-professionals, such as director, secretary, or cooks. Modified fool frequency questionnaire were used to get the frequencies of each food items used in menu and a menu-analysis was made on the one-day menu provided by the facilities. The results showed relatively satisfactory in nutrients content and food frequencies., however, this was about what was used in menu, not what was eaten by the residents. Therefore this results did not tell that the food intake status of individuals. In most facilities general health checkup was done on a regular basis, and had residents with various chronic degenerative diseases, such as hypertension, neuralgia, stroke, arthritis, diabetes. But the items checked on health checkup included weight, height, blood and urine tests, X-ray test, which suggested that the checkup lists should be revised to accomodate the health problem of the aged today.

The objective of this study was to expand sodium reduction practices by analyzing the awareness, practice, and obstruction of sodium reduction by middle school dietitians. Questionnaires were administered to 146 dietitians in the Busan area. The average score for the dietitians' awareness of low-sodium diets was 4.21/5.00, and dietitians in their 30s and over 40 reported significantly (p<0.05) higher awareness than those in their 20s The average practice scores for low-sodium diets was 3.74/5.00, 3.80/5.00 for cooking, 3.77/5.00 for food choice, and 3.60/5.00 for action. The average scores of obstruction for low-sodium diets was 3.58/5.00, 3.93/5.00 for low-sodium products, 3.88/5.00 for students, 3.71/5.00 for dietitians, 3.12/5.00 for facilities, 2.86/5.00 for cooks. Dietitians over 40 and those with graduate school degrees had significantly (p<0.05) higher scores for low-sodium products. Regarding practice and obstruction for low-sodium diets, dietitians with high awareness scores had significantly (p<0.01) higher scores for practice and lower scores for obstruction of low-sodium diets. These findings suggest that it is critical to develop diverse low-sodium products and recipes, and that dietitians should educate students about the necessity and the practice of reduced sodium diets.

The objective of this study was to examine Jeonju residents' recognition towards their native local foods. The results indicate that their degree of interest in the native foods was above average. As age and education increased, the degree of interest was also increased. Also, married people showed greater interest as compared to single people (p<$0.05{\sim}0.001$). There were more people who said they preferred native foods than people who said they didn't, where 213 people (41.3%) answered that they preferred the native foods. Of the people who said they like native foods, their main reason was because the native foods taste good. The main reason for the people who said they disliked native foods was that they didn't have many opportunities to try native foods. TV and radio were the first means, among others, from which people learned about native foods. The place where people ate native foods most often was native food restaurants (242 people, 46.95%). A frequency of a native food intake (including home and dining-out) of $1{\sim}2$ times/year was most prominent, with 137 people (26.6%). Also, a cooking frequency of "hardly ever cooks" was most prominent with 163 people (31.6%). The most prominent reason for the low cooking frequency at home was because they didn't know the recipes. Among 5 basic recipe characteristics for native foods (easy preparation of ingredients, simple recipe procedures, quick preparation, reasonable recipe procedures, sanitation), "sanitation" had the highest average score of 3.54, and "simple recipe procedure" had the lowest score of 2.44. To summarize, in order to develop Jeonju native local foods, it is necessary to implement various strategies such as frequently holding events where people can experience their native foods, running a native food training center, advertising through TV and radio, developing easy home recipes, and simplifying recipes.
