Food procurement practices in elementary schools were evaluated to provide basic information for the efficient foodservice management. Total 85 self-completed questionnaires were collected out of 134 dieticians working for elementary schools in Kyungkido, and analyzed for demographic background, purchasing activities and processing-food utilization status. The results were as follows: 1. The elementary schools were located in urban (22.0%), provincial (58.5%), and isolated areas (19.5%). 2. 62.4% of them were conventional schools and rest of them were commissary schools (37.6%). 3. As the total meals produced in schools increased, the number of meals served per foodservice staff and the workload increased, and more foods were purchased through wholesalers and competitive bids. 4. There were no significant differences (p > 0.05) in food procurement practices by the location, type of foodservice systems and the size of schools. 5. As the number of total meals in schools increased, the level of FPI (Food Processing Index) points for meat products, fish products, kimchi and sauce decreased.

This study was conducted to illustrate standard menu items available in the school foodservice industry, and to establish higher nutritional standards in this industry. We reviewed menu items from 125 middle and high schools from the Seoul area for three months. These menus were then classified into 12 representative menu items, as follows: beef seeweed soup, egg soup, sliced rice rod soup, spaghetti, sauted squid with hot sauce, fish cutlet, simmered pork-egg in soy sauce, sweet and sour meat, sauted pork, acorn starch jelly salad, cucumber salad. And standard recipes of these 12 representative menu items were established, based on a survey from 150 dietitians who completed a questionnaire of 97 questions. According to the survey results, 89% of the dietitians answered positively('yes') about the necessity of establishing standard recipes for the school foodservice industry. 69% of the dietitians were educated standard recipes for the school foodservice, 91% will use standard recipes for the school foodservice Moreover, we discovered there was a consensus on what type of menu items should be included on the menus; demographic factors only affected a small range of recommended items. In order to confirm real application of resulted standard recipe, it is required to conduct quantity food production at real foodservice and study on more suitable standard recipe.

The changes in ingredients, seasonings and cooking methods of Japchae in Korean cook books published from the 1600s to the 1960s were investigated in this study. Japchae was a royal dish enjoyed by Kwanhaegun of Joseon Dynasty and interesting historical story is contained in it. Kwanghaegun Ilgi in 1608 showed that Japchae was Kwanghaegun's favorite dish. Therefore, it has been thought that Japchae was created in the 17th century. Wonhaengeulmyojeongrieugye in 1796 described bellflower Japchae and mungbean sprout Japchae. The traditional Japchae was made without glass noodle called dangmyeon. Eumsikdimibang in 1670 first introduced traditional Japchae, which was made with 20 different ingredients and then served with topping sauce made of pheasant broth, strained soybean paste and wheat flour. Japchae in Kyugonyoram(1896) was prepared by mixing mungbean sprout, watercress, gonjasoni, tripe and yukhwe with mustard. The current style Japchae with glass noodle first appeared in the 1920s and became popular in the 1950s because the traditional Japchae was described in cook books until the 1940s. There were two ways of preparing current style Japchae. Yijogungjeongyoritonggo in 1957 described Japchae was made by mixing the boiled glass noodle with other ingredients and seasonings together. On the other hand, Japchae in Urinaraeumsikmandeuneunbeob(1960) was prepared by seasoning first with other ingredients, and then mixing boiled glass noodle. A variety of ingredients - vegetables, mushrooms, meat, fish, pheasant, beef tong, sea cucumber, gonjasoni and pear - has been used to prepare Japchae. Japchae has been seasoned with ginger, soy sauce, black pepper, sesame salt, sesame oil, oil, leek, garlic, salt, sugar, vinegar and mustard. Egg strips, pine nut, thin strips of Shiitake and stone mushroom, red pepper threads, Chinese pepper(cheoncho), black pepper and ginger were used for garnishing.

The effects of pine needle extract and horseradish on the growth of Vibrio isolated from crab and flat fish were investigated. The isolated Vibrios were identified as Vibrio parahaemolyticus HY I and V. vulnificus FST I by Api 20E kit. The growth of V. parahaemolyticus HY 1, V. vulnificus FST I and V. perahaernolytich ATCC17802 were inhibited in tryptic soy broth (TSB) containing 1% pine needle ethanol extract. The growth of the Vibrios was more 2 log inhibited in TSB containing 1% pine needle extract and 1% horseradish than in TSB containing 1% horseradish alone. Viable cells of tile Vibrios were decreased more rapidly about 2~3 log in soysauce containing 1% pine needle extract and 1% of horseradish than in soysauce and in soysauce containing 1% horeseradish. Sensory quality of horseradish sauce containing 1% of pine needle extract was similar to that of horseradish sauce (p<0.05).

In this study, problems with table serving of Korean Jeollanamdo food were investigated, and methods for improvement were suggested. The manner of food serving and arrangement on tables, as well as the serving space in each case, were investigated in representative restaurants serving Jeollanamdo food. The results showed that most of the Jeollanamdo Korean food have a prototype of a flat serving sprea, wherein the main dish and side dishes are not clearly identified, the demarcation between shared space and personal space is insufficiently made for each serving on the table, and the table is full of side dishes, that are narrow, visually disordered and unhygienic, both in terms of the table setting and arrangement inside bowls. To provide sufficient eating space, elevate awareness of hygienic and clean serving, and identifying the main dish in the table setting, a serving method that is a compromise between the flat spread-out and time-series development was suggested, and an arrangement on the table was defined for the main dish and side dishes. The utilization of table space was also increased by reducing the number of dishes on the table at a given moment. In addition, the dish or bowl and arrangement inside the container were changed in order to distinguish the main dish and side dishes. It is suggested that some of tableware be linked with the special products of the locality so as to make a brand for them, and that a personal mat be used to arrange the tableware for each one, since there are many fermented food items (salted fish, kimchi, fermented paste and sauce, etc.) and boiled food items (stew, steamed dish, boiled dish in sauce, etc) that look dark and unfocused. In addition, it is suggested that the width and breadth of the dishes or bowls be set in an orderly manner. Considering the tables currently available at restaurants, personal space on a table and comfortable distance between eaters are suggested to be $400 mm{\times}250 mm$ and 300 mm, respectively.

A study on the rapid fermentation of fish sauce has been carried out for effective utilization of sardine. The frozen sardine was thawed at room temperature, chopped, homogenized with equal amount of water and then hydrolyzed by addition of commercial proteolytic enzymes such as bromelain, papaya protease, ficin and a enzyme mixture under different conditions of hydrolysis. The effect of wheat gluten for masking fishy odor and color development during thermal treatment were also tested. The reaction mixture was heated for 30 minutes at $100^{\circ}C$ for enzyme inactivation, pasteurization and color development and then centrifuged for 20 minutes at 4,000 rpm. Finally, table salt and benzoic acid were added for bacteriostatic effect. The results were summarized as follows ; 1. The hydrolyzing temperature, time, pH and the concentration of enzymes based on the weight of whole sardine for optimal hydrolysis were as follows: autolysis, $52.5^{\circ}C$, 4 hours, pH 8.0: with $0.25\%$ bromelain, $52.5^{\circ}C$, 4 hours, pH 6.6 :with $0.25\%$ ficin, $52.5^{\circ}C$, 4 hours, pH 6.8: with $0.3\%$ papaya protease, $52.5^{\circ}C$, 4 hours, pH 6.6: with $6\%$ enzyme mixture, $52.5^{\circ}C$, 4 hours, pH 6.9, respectively. But pH control was not much beneficial in increasing yield. 2. The hydrolytic reaction of chopped sardine with proteolytic enzymes could be interpreted as a first order reaction that devided into 2 periods with different reaction rate constsnts. $Q_{10}$ values of the first period prior to 4 hours were 1.23 to 1.31, and those of post 4 hours were 1.25 to 1.55. The corresponding activation energies were $1.81{\times}10^4\;to\;2.34{\times}10^4\;kJ/kmol$ and $1.92{\times}10^4\;to\;3.77{\times}10^4\;kJ/kmol$, respectively. 3. The reasonable amount of $75\%$ vital wheat gluten for addition was $9\%$ of chopped sardine. 4. The dark brown color was mainly developed during the thermal treatment for 30 minutes at $100^{\circ}C$ and not changed during storage.

For spices, 20 types of spices were used (19.05%). 2. Cooking Methods offor Mandu. The mMandu eaten at in the early Joseon era had was primarily made ofusedbuckwheat that contained boiled tofu or egg uiijuk in the kneaded dough for the most part and while kneading with buckwheat, the tofu or egg uiijuk has been boiled down to knead the dough, and and starch powder, bean powder, or rice powder, etc were mixed to make the mandu coating. Buckwheat powder was mixed toadded to the flourwer or was used by itself, while meat, vegetables, tofu, and shiitake mushroom, etc were also addedincluded. From the 18th century, the host plant, or cabbage kimchi, were prepared and combined had been sliced to be used as filling together while red pepper powder was mixed combined withto spices or vinegar soy sauce to be used together. Also, Radishes had beenwere also used as filling, but shown as not being used fromafter the start of the 1900's. For the shape of mMandu, it was madeinto different shapes such as as triangle, rectangle, date plum, gwebul, half moon, or pomegranate shapes, and then shapes to be boiled in simmering water, baked, or cooked as soup in clear broth for soup., In the 17th to 18th century, boilingthen in a steamer gradually became a cooking style, assumed the style of boiling in a steamer in $17th{\sim}18th$ century while in the 16th century,the an essay ofn fermenting flour in ‘Food Dimibang’ in 16th century had indicated it was cooked as the style ofby steaming in a rice steamer. Also, Mandu may have also contained the following: the thin-cut and boiled fish was cut out thin to put into the filling and boiled down, made by putting in added pine nuts after making bbeef jerky or boiled- down meat, fish, or shellfish itself to extractsand mold mandu only the ingredients combined withto put on starch powder, and then boiled down and put on pine nut powder finally, after it or cooled it wasdown to be eaten by dipping in vinegar soy sauce. In conclusion, many different types of mandu were made during the Joseon era using a variety ofwhile the ones using such various ingredients. are also one type of mandu.

There is a limitation to estimate vitamin $B_{12}$ intake due to a lack of data on vitamin $B_{12}$ content in many Korean foods. In this study, vitamin $B_{12}$ content was determined in some seaweeds, fish, and shellfish and their product that are consumed in Korea using a modified microbioassay with Lactobacillus delbruecki ATCC 7830. Dried laver and dried seasoned and toasted laver contained very high levels of vitamin $B_{12}$ (66.8 and $55.2-71.3\;{\mu}g$/100 g, respectively. Sea lettuce and seaweed fulvescene also contained high vitamin $B_{12}$ content of 5.47-9.41 and $6.46-7.20\;{\mu}g$/100 g, respectively, whereas sea mustard and sea tangle contained low levels of vitamin $B_{12}$; vitamin $B_{12}$ was not detected in seaweed fusifome. Pacific saury, trout, sea-bass, or squid contained 12.01, 2.00, 0.49 and $2.33\;{\mu}g$ vitamin $B_{12}$/100 g, respectively. Ochellatus octopus, and naked sand lance contained 0.72-1.43 and $3.68\;{\mu}g$ vitamin $B_{12}$/100 g, respectively. Dried Alaska pollack con-tained $0.19-2.64\;{\mu}g$ vitamin $B_{12}$/100 g. Shellfish such as little neck clam and small ark shellfish contained high levels of vitamin $B_{12}$ of $30.5-40.5\;{\mu}g$/100 g, and mussel and abalone contained 17.71 and $7.82\;{\mu}g$/100 g, respectively. Of unique Korean traditional fermented seafood products, salt-fermented products of squid ($2.91\;{\mu}g$/100 g), clams ($34.31\;{\mu}g$/100 g), Ala-ska pollack roe ($9.98-12.02\;{\mu}g$/100 g), hairtail guts ($4.58\;{\mu}g$/100 g) or small shrimp ($0.58-1.55\;{\mu}g$/100 g), and fish sauce from anchovies ($1.52-1.78\;{\mu}g$/100 mL), sand eel ($0.22-0.24\;{\mu}g$/100 mL) or small shrimp ($0.19-0.78\;{\mu}g$/100 mL) were analyzed. A few commercial brands of flying fish roe ($0.73-1.73\;{\mu}g$/100 g), canned tuna ($0.40\;{\mu}g$/100 g), and fried fish paste ($0.25-0.69\;{\mu}g$/100 g) were also analyzed. In conclusion, vitamin $B_{12}$ content in these foods, chosen considering the Korean food culture, should contribute to improve the present vitamin $B_{12}$ food database. It may be helpful to estimate vitamin $B_{12}$ intake more correctly than before, and provide additional information for dietary education related to vitamin $B_{12}$ and meal management.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the growth of lactic acid bacteria and the self-life of Kimchi prepared with Toha sauce(TK) and different kinds of jeot-kal, a traditional fermented fish sauce. The Kimchi samples were stored for 42 days at 12$\pm$2$\^{C}$. The results were as follows: The pH value was decreased in the order of TK, AK(prepared with fermented anchovy juice), SK(prepared with fermented shrimp) and CK(control), and the acidity was increased in the opposed order. Redox potentials decreased until 4 days of fermentation but increased thereafter. TK showed the lowest value in redox potential as well as the lowest change in the number of yeast; however, it had the highest contents of vitamin C and reducing sugar. The total number of lactic acid bacteria was higher in jeot-kal-added Kimchi than control throughout the fermentation period. In sensory evaluation. AK got the highest score in overall preference in the early stage of fermentation, but TK was preferred in the late stage.
