The prevalence of atherothrombotic disease continues to rise, presenting an increasing number of challenges to modern society and creating interest in functional foods. Platelet activation, adhesion, and aggregation at vascular endothelial disruption sites are key events in atherothrombotic disease. Physiological challenges such as hyperlipidemia, obesity, and cigarette smoking are associated with vascular changes underlying platelet aggregation and inflammatory processes. However, it is difficult to determine the beneficial response of functional foods in healthy subjects. To address this problem, challenge models and high-risk models related to smokers, obesity, and dyslipidemia are proposed as sensitive measures to evaluate the effects of functional foods in healthy subjects. In this review, we construct a model to evaluate the effects of functional food such as natural products on blood flow based on a human intervention study.

The market size of functional health foods has experienced substantial growth driven by increasing consumer interest. In particular, the application of functional probiotics in various food products has resulted in consistent and progressive growth. One promising category is the application of probiotics in the manufacturing of cheese, which aligns with the rising demand for functional foods among consumers. The inherent advantages of cheese and probiotics provide consumers with a broad selection of functional foods. Therefore, it is crucial to identify functional probiotics that can withstand the cheese manufacturing process and exert significant effects on the flavor and taste of cheese. In this review, we discuss several strategies aimed at developing probiotic-supplemented cheeses for future dairy food markets.

본 연구에서는 건강증진을 위해 섭취하는 다양한 식품목록을 수집하고, 최근 고시된 건강기능식품의 기준 및 규격에 관한 규정에 언급된 원료와 그렇지 않은 원료로 나누어 성별, 나이별 섭취양상을 비교함으로써 기능성에 대한 규정과 제조 관리 기준이 없는 식품 섭취 가 상대적으로 많은 집단을 찾아내고 그들이 주로 섭취하는 원료를 밝힘으로써 넓은 의미의 건강식품의 안전성 확보에 도움이 되고자하였다. 설문조사는 전국 5개 도시에서 건강증진용 식품 섭취가족이 있는 20세 이상 여성을 대상으로 하여 2004년 6월부터 8월 사이에 실시하였으며 응답자가 가계 구성원의 건강증진용 식품 섭취경험에 대해 응답하도록 하였다. 1,493명의 응답자가 대답한 가계 구성원은 환인을 포함하여 5,173명이었으며 평균나이 34.6세로 1세부터 95세까지가 대상이 되었으며 남녀 비율이 각각 48.2%, 51.8%였다. 조사된 식품 16,474개의 주원료를 원료특성에 따라 분류했을 때 영양보충용 제품이 17.60%로 가장 많았고, 과실류, 생약재 및 민간요법재, 홍삼과 인삼 제품, 기타원료, 보신식품, 채소류, 차류, 곡류 및 두류, 유산균 및 발효식품, 해조류, 버섯류, 종실류 및 견과류 순으로 분류되었다. 이들 식품원료 중 고시 원료로 분류되는 원료는 49.20%였고 그렇지 않은 원료가 50.80%였다. 건강증진을 위해 섭취한 식품 수는 1인당 평균 3.19개로 남자보다 여자가 더 많은 수의 식 품을 섭취했으며 40대가 섭취한 식품수가 가장 많았다. 고시 원료를 포함한 식품에 대해서는 1인당 평균 1.58개의 식품을 섭취해서 건강증진을 위해 섭취한 식품수의 절반 정도를 차지했다. 1인당 섭취한 건강증진용 식품수가 가장 많은 40-50대 여자들과 1인당 섭취한 식 품 중 고시 원료에 해당되지 않는 건강증진용 식품을 더 많이 섭취한 30-50대의 남자들의 건강증진용 식품의 섭취실태에 대한 지속적인 관심이 필요하며, 이들이 주로 섭취하는 생약재 및 민간요법재, 보신식품, 버섯류와 채소류, 종실류 통 과학적 행정적으로 기능성이 인정되지 않는 식품 원료에 대한 안전성 보장 방안 마련도 필요할 것으로 생각된다

Modern medicine can not solve all the problems caused by many intractable, chronic and aging related diseases hence more people have come to recognize the role of foods for the promotion of good health as well as prevention from illness. Further more, controlled diet are proven to be used as effective cures for certain diseases. In this paper, the definition, functional factors and mechanisms of designer(funtional) foods are reviewed. Especially, the biofuntional activities of herbal medicines which also can be treated as designer foods are intensively noted in this paper.

Dietary fiber imparts both mutritional and functional properties to foods. This review deals with (1) the classification of dietary fiber, (2) the plant cell wall models, (3) the relations between structure and physicochemical and functional properties of dietary fiber and (4) the applications of dietary fiber in foods. Dietary fiber can be classified in terms of source, plant function, solubility, charge and topology. Plant cell wall models are presented to provide information on the interconnections of dietary fiber components which determines the content of soluble and insoluble dietary fiber content. In reality, physicochemical and functional properties of dietary fiber originate factors such as chemical constituents , charge, branching degree, conformation and etc. Dietary fibers possess a variety of functional properties in food systems, which thus make them useful in food application. In particular, rheology and gelation of water-soluble gums or hydrocolloids are discussed for their effects on food quality. A guideline s also listed for the gum selection to meet the best product requirements.

Objectives: This study was conducted to investigate the experience and perception among adult women regarding weight control and the consumption of weight-control foods or health functional foods based on their body mass index (BMI). Methods: The subjects were 634 adult women from the Chungcheong province, Korea, and data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire from July 2021 through September 2021. The subjects were divided into four groups based on their BMI status: underweight (< 18.5 kg/m², 7.6%), normal weight (18.5 ~ 22.9 kg/m², 53.3%), overweight (23 ~ 24.9 kg/m², 19.7%), and obese (≥ 25 kg/m², 19.4%). Results: Over the past 3 years, almost two-thirds (68.6%) of the adult women had tried weight control measures, despite the fact that a significant proportion of them were normal or underweight. More importantly, 57.6% of subjects reported the consumption of weight-control foods, with a lower proportion in the underweight (35.4%) group compared to the normal (56.2%), overweight (62.4%), and obese (65.0%) groups. The food items used for weight control were mostly salads, chicken breasts, low fat (soy) milk, slimming tea, protein shakes, low-calorie cereals, and energy/protein bars among others. In addition, one-third (31.1%) of the subjects reported the use of health functional foods containing ingredients for fat reduction. A significantly higher proportion of these was from the overweight (36.0%) and obese (38.2%) groups compared to the underweight (20.8%) and normal weight (28.1%) groups. Products containing Garcinia cambogia extract, green tea, or Cissus extract, were popular among users. Subjects who were obese had a poorer perception of their health and body. Most subjects felt the need for correct information regarding weight control, but this number was significantly more in the higher BMI groups. Conclusions: Our results suggest that the use of weight-control foods or health functional foods is popular among adult women, especially those who are obese. Thus, nutrition education courses covering facts about weight control and practice need to be developed and provided based on the BMI status of subjects.

본 연구에서는 향후 고령친화식품의 중심적인 상품군이 될 건강기능식품과 특수용도식품의 시장규모에 대한 예측을 시도하였다. 건강기능식품과 특수용도식품 중 고령친화와 관련된 시장의 범위를 설정하고 현황에 대해서 분석한 후 향후 전망에 대해서 예측하였는데, 경제성장과 민간소비지출의 변화 그리고 이에 따른 노령인구의 경제력 변화, 의료보험 및 연금저축의 변화 등을 반영하였다. 한편 관련기업들을 대상으로 한 설문조사 결과를 활용하는 한편, 노인인구의 변화 및 주요 만성질환의 발병률을 분석하여 예측에 반영하였다. 결과를 보면 2010년부터 2025년까지 건강기능식품과 특수용도식품 중 고령친화와 관련된 부문의 연평균 성장률은 최소 4.54%에서 최대 8.32%로 예측되었으며, 시장규모 예측치는 모형과 예측방식에 따라 2025년에 최소 7,073억원에서 최대 10,976억원으로 나타났다. 향후 고령친화제품의 수요는 고령인구의 증가와 보험급여 확대 등으로 크게 성장할 것으로 예상되는 반면에, 기업들은 수요의 변화를 관망하고 있는 상황으로 판단된다. 따라서 이는 자칫 수요에 비하여 부족한 공급 문제를 야기시킬 수 있다. 따라서 정부의 R&D에 대한 적극적인 지원, 고령친화식품에 대한 표준화 및 인증제 실시, 관련산업의 DB구축 등이 필요한 상황이다.

In this study, Artemisia capillaris, which has been used in oriental medicine and folks remedy, was investigated to characterize the nutritional composition (protein, lipid, ash, fiber, amino acids, fatty acids, Na, K, P, Mg, Ca and Fe) and effective substance (scopoletin). Artemisia capillaris has often been cited in medical literature for its medicinal effects. The Korean Food and Drug Administration allowed Artemisia capillaris as a food stuff and indicated as In-Jin-Sook. From the view point of the subjects who eat In-Jin-Sook products, most of them ingested it for a certain pharmacological efficacy rather than as a beverage or a food. Therefore, we need to develop functional foods using In-Jin-Sook. Artemisia capillaris was superior in protein, crude fiber, amino acid and fatty acid compositions to wild greens according to Korean Nutritional Composition Table. Also scopoletin, blown for blood vessel relaxation and hypotensive effect, was detected at the level of 326.13 $\mu\textrm{g}$/g. These results demonstrated that Artemisia capillaris has both pharmaceutical effects and balanced nutritional contents. Artemisia capillaris has sufficient values to use as a food stuff for functional foods.
