Meals served in school cafeteria for teachers were evaluated in terms of calorie and nutrient level and food composition. Daily energy expenditure of teachers was compared with caloric content of the meal. The followings are results of the study. 1) Twelve different foodstuffs were used in each meal of school cafeteria for teachers. The average amount of food served meal was 396.0g. The ratio of animal food to total food served was 13.2%. The meal was consisted of 44.8% of basic food group 4, 34.7% of basic food group 3, 19.3% of basic food group 1, 0.4% of basic food group 2 and 0.9% of basic food group 5. 2) The average caloric content of the meal was 629.9Kcal. The caloric ratio of carbohydrate, protein and fat to total calorie was 72.4% : 15.3% : 12.3% respectively. The ratio of animal protein to total protein was 43.2%. In meals of school cafeteria, the level o fall nutrients except iron and niacin was lower than RDA for male, whereas the level of all nutrients except protein and niacin was lower than RDA for female. 3) The average daily energy expenditures of teachers were 2,017.2Kcal for male and 1,735.3Kcal for female. The meal in school cafeteria supplied 93.7% of daily energy expenditure of male teachers and 110.0% of daily energy expenditure of female teachers. When planning meals in school cafeteria, recommended allowance, actual energy expenditure and food preference of teachers should be considered to improve the quality of meals. Also it seems desirable to give teachers the nutritional education for taking balanced diet.

This study was conducted to provide basic information on the nutritional status and dietary behaviors of the deaf teenagers. The subjects of this study were 87 deaf-mute high school students in Pusan and Kyung-nam area and, in comparison,90 general high school students in Ham-an area. The survey was investigated by using a self-administered questionnaire. The results were as follows: Deaf-mute group was consisted of 63.2% male and 36.8% female, and mean of height and weight of male were 171.2 cm and 61.9kg, female were 158.0cm and 51.7kg. Obesity index and body mass index (BMI) were normal range in both deaf-mute and normal groups. The average nutrition knowledge score of the deaf-mute group was 6.8 $\pm$ 1.5 out of possible 10 points, that was significantly lower than 7.3 $\pm$ 0.8 of the normal group (p<0.01). The mean of self-control and conscious control scores in the eating behaviors of the deaf-mute group were 2.6 $\pm$ 1.2 and 2.4 $\pm$ 1.3 out of possible 5 points from each item, which was significantly higher than 2.1 $\pm$ 1.3 and 1.8 $\pm$ 1.4 of the normal group (p< 0,01). Nutrients consumed below 90% of Korean RDA were energy (79.9%), Ca (71.5%) for deaf-mute male students and Ca (88.5%) for deaf-mute female students. Energy (71.4%), protein (87.8%), Ca (74.8%), vitamin B$_1$ (83.4%) intake of normal male students and energy (72.8%), Ca (71.2%), Fe (78.7%) intake of normal female students were below 90% of Korean RDA. Energy, protein, fat, vitamin B$_1$, niacin intake of deaf-mute male students were significantly higher than normal male students and all nutrients intake of deaf-mute female students were significantly higher than normal female students. By the correlation of nutrients intakes with nutrition knowledge, there was positive correlation with the intakes of Ca, Fe, vitamin A, vitamin B$_2$, and vitamin C in the deaf-mute group, while there was negative correlation with the nutrients intakes (except for protein and fat) in the normal group. The amount of meal, breakfast, regularity of meal time, frequency of snacks showed a positive relation to nutrient intakes in deaf-mute group and amount of meal, breakfast, regularity of meal time, frequency of overeating showed a positive relation to nutrient intakes in normal group. The nutrition knowledge had no correlation with food habits or eating behaviors in both groups.(Korean J Nutrition 35(9) : 982~995, 2002)

Seven day's menus consisting of the Korean traditional dietary patterns were prepared according to the Korean nutrition allowances per capital of whole population. After cooking foods one day's meal was collected, homogenized for one week. Nutrients in each day's meal were analysed. The results of this analysis are as follows ; Lipids contents were about 23% higher than the data obtained nationwide nutrition survey conducted in 1984. This suggests the increasing tendency of the fat the oil consumption . PUFA ratio in lipid was 35%, that the customary Korean cooking include high confirmiry amount of vegetable oils. Daily tocopherol intake was 8.3mg . This results is believed to as one reference to set up Korean R.D.A for tocopherol.

Meat and bone meal is a valuable protein and mineral source in diets of production animals and contributes to the protein, energy and mineral component of diets. The aim of the present study was to more accurately characterise the apparent ileal amino acid digestibility of meat and bone meals produced in New Zealand and evaluate routine in vitro assays used in practise to measure meat and bone meal quality. A total of 94 commercial meat and bone meals from 25 New Zealand rendering plants over a two and a half year period were analysed for proximates, gross energy, gross amino acid content (incl. hydroxyproline, hydroxylysine and lanthionine), apparent ileal amino acid digestibility, pepsin nitrogen digestibility, protein solubility and bone content. The mean crude protein content of the 94 meat and bone meal samples was 56.8% with a range of >35% units and a coefficient of variation of 9.8%. The mean crude fat and ash content were 10.0 and 28.4% respectively. These latter components showed a large range (16 and 43%, respectively) with coefficients of variation above 22%. Amino acid digestibility between samples was highly variable with lysine and sulphur amino acids digestibility ranging between 45.8-89.0 and 38.2-85.5%, respectively. Pearson correlation coefficients are presented between crude protein content and individual gross amino acids, crude protein content and individual digestible amino acid content, and pepsin N digestibility and individual digestible amino acid content. There was a significant relationship between the digestible amino acid nitrogen content and the crude protein content while pepsin nitrogen digestibility was not correlated to ileal amino acid nitrogen digestibility (r=-0.06). Meat meals with a high protein content had relatively low hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine levels something that was attributed to the levels of collagen from bone. The data indicated that lanthionine (formed upon heat treatment of cysteine with a hydroprotein) is not a good indicator of the heat treatment employed to meat and bone meals. Step-wise multiple regression equations to predict the apparent digestible content of amino acids from rapid in vitro assays are presented. The most selected variables included ash and crude fat content. In general the equations derived for the essential amino acids had a higher degrees of fit (R2) compared to the non-essential amino acids. The R2 for the essential amino acids ranged from 0.43 for histidine and 0.68 for leucine. These equations provide a means of more rapidly estimating the apparent ileal digestible amino acid content (protein quality) of meat and bone meal using standard analyses.

The objectives of this study were to conduct preliminary research to investigate full course meals in Korean style restaurants in order: i) to analyze the nutrient contents of full course meals per servings, and ⅱ) by analyzing the above, to examine the amount and the quality of the foods served in the full course meals by Korean style restaurants in Changwon. A total of 20 restaurants in Changwon participated in this study, and two investigators visited there, consumed and investigated it. A key finding was that restaurant patrons tended to overconsume nutrients as compared to the Korean Recommended Daily Allowance(RDA), and restaurants generated large amounts of food wastes due to the excess food served. Other findings were as follows: 1) 1,821.2Kcal were served, 1,052.6Kcal were consumed and 768.6Kcal which is equivalent to 1/3RDA were thrown away on average. 2) The average carbohydrate:protein:fat(CPF) ratio of caloric nutrients was 42:27:31. 3) The correlation between the consumed and unconsumed calories was r=0.661 and the correlation between served and unconsumed calories was r=0.819. Both consumed and unconsumed calories were closely related to the served calories. 4) The result of the research showed that mean INQ in most nutrients was higher than 1.0, especially INQ in unconsumed food is mostly higher than INQ in provided and consumed food. 5) The unconsumed food and the meal prices were closely correlated in terms of price loss. These findings indicate the Korean style full course meals consisted of a high-protein, high-fat and high-caloric intake, which is similar to a westernized caloric nutrient pattern. They should also be strongly encouraged to play an active role in improving their customers’ nutritional status, as well as reducing the restaurants wastage of food. Lastly, further research should be conducted to improve the quality of the menus in Korean restaurants.

This study was conducted to investigate the attitude of dietitians on meat products and consumption of meat products in meal service of elementary school. Eight hundred and forty two questionnaires collected from each district of the country were statistically analyzed. Dietitians showed preference of ham and packed meat to other meat products. Dietitians had a good image on meat product regarding it as a good source of protein, imported food and diversely used food for cooking. Whereas 50% and 25.8% of dietitians concerned about the high content of preservative and sodium, respectively. More than 96% of dietitians suggested the food processing company to decrease the addition of preservatives, coloring agents, color formers and sodium. Fifty nine percent of dietitians responded they would increase the consumption of meat product if it is processed to food with low sodium, low cholesterol, low fat and no persavatives. Dietitians used ham for cooking once or twice a month. The reason they used the meat product for meal service was the preference of students and readiness of meat product for cooking. The dietitian's favorite cooking method was roasting ham or sausage with vegetable. Dietitians responded the first thing they checked for purchasing meat product was the date of processing and the term of validity.

The objective of this study was to improve the qualities of Saengsik (substitute meal formulated with uncooked cereal powder) such as functionality, safety and sensory preference by using Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB). The optimum formulation of fermented Saengsik (substitute meal) was verified as $40\%$ of fermented brown rice, $13\%$ of fermented job tears, $5\%$ of yellow soybean, $5\%$ of waxy rice, $5\%$ of sorghum, $3\%$ of Seumok bean, $1\%$ of sesame, $3\%$ of barley, $2\%$ of red bean, $5\%$ of prosomillet, $2\%$ of foxtail millet, $9%$ of black rice, $3\%$ of buckwheat, $1\%$ of chestnut, $2\%$ of pumpkin, $3\%$ of peanut. Fermented Saengsik decreased significantly serum glucose in STZ-induced diabetic rats. However, serum lipid levels were not affected by fermented Saengsik. In rats fed with high-fat diet, serum triglyceride level was slightly decreased and the contents of liver triglyceride were significantly decreased by supplementation of fermented Saengsik.

This study sought to evaluate the effects of fermented soybean meal (FSBM) prepared by inoculating Bacillus coagulans NRR1207 and a Kefir starter on sows and Holstein cow's. FSBM has high nutritional value due to the hydrolysis of anti-nutritional factors such as trypsin inhibitors, hemagglutinin, raffinose and stachyose. In particular, it is widely used as a type of livestock feed due to its high protein content. The composition of FSBM is as follows: crude protein 55.15%, crude fat 2.12% and 0.2% KOH solubility 83.17%, it was higher than soybean meal (SBM). In particular, anti-nutritional factors such as trypsin inhibitor, raffinose and stachyose of FSBM were significantly reduced compared to the SBM. The number of lactic acid bacteria, including B. coagulans NRR1207, is 8.63 × 10⁷ CFU·g^-1, yeast is 1.1 × 10⁶ CFU·g^-1. Offspring numbers, the initial sucking number, sucking days, and weaned numbers of sows fed with FSBM all showed higher values compared to the control group. The average body weight and backfat thickness of sows fed with FSBM increased than those fed with SBM. The weight body of piglets fed with FSBM increased by 1.4 kg compared to the control group. The feed conversion ratio of piglets fed with FSBM was reduced by 10.69% compared to the control group. The results of this study indicate that FSBM can provide beneficial effects with regard to the feeding characteristics of sows and piglets.

In this survey, we investigated the way of thinking about meal management of housewives including the sincerity to meal preparation, the eating practices and cronic degenerative diseases related dietary behaviors, and studied the effects of above factors on the real food intakes. We also investigated the trends of health-foods and nutrient supplements usage. The results obtained from 506 housewives in Seoul were summarized as follows. Although our subjects prepared their meals habitually without special concern, they did not prefer the use of convenient foods. The food prefrence of housewivess who had more child and refered higher life status was similar with other family members. The dietary attitudes were good in large family, the higher income and the more child group. The highly educated group skipped breakfast more frequently. The mealmanagers with better education career and good living status considered for the restriction of salty foods, sweet foods, animal fats and pungent foods, and for the nutritionally balanced diet. The high income group showed great concerns about weight gain at meal times. The nutritional qualities expressed by the frequency of food group intakes were high in the better educated and living status groups, and their eating frequencies of animal protein foods and calcium sources were significantly high. Mealmanagers who had no job intaked vegetable oils through frying foods frequently. The use of health-foods and nutrient supplements was influenced by age, educational and economic level and self-estimated living status, but the trends in prevalence of both were not consistent. Health-foods were prefered by the groups of high educational career, affluent income and advanced living status, and low educational career, low income and low living status groups favored the nutrient supplements. The restrictive intake of animal fat and the use of health-food were positively correlated, which seemed that the subjects used health-foods as supplements in compensation for nutritional unbalance caused by the avoidance of animal protein foods.

Background: To reduce use of main feed ingredient like corn, soy bean meal (SBM) and wheat, alternative ingredients has been studied like copra meal (CM). Production amount of CM which has been high makes CM to be an alternative feed stuff. However, low digestibility on AA and low energy content by high fiber content can be an obstacle for using CM. This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of CM supplementation with ${\beta}$-mannanase on growth performance, blood profile, nutrient digestibility, pork quality and economic analysis in growing-finishing pigs. Methods: A total of 100 growing pigs ([Yorkshire ${\times}$ Landrace] ${\times}$ Duroc) averaging $31.22{\pm}2.04kg$ body weight were allotted to 5 different treatments by weight and sex in a randomized complete block (RCB) design in 5 replicate with 4 pigs per pen. Treatments were 1) Control (corn-SBM based diet + 0.1% of ${\beta}$-mannanase (800 IU)), 2) CM10 (10% copra meal + 0.1% ${\beta}$-mannanase (800 IU)), 3) CM15 (15% copra meal + 0.1% ${\beta}$-mannanase (800 IU)), 4) CM20 (20% copra meal + 0.1% ${\beta}$-mannanase (800 IU)) and 5) CM25 (25% copra meal + 0.1% ${\beta}$-mannanase (800 IU)). Four phase feeding program was used: growing I (week 1-3), growing II (week 4-6), finishing I (week 7-9) and finishing II (week 10-12). Results: In growth performance, there was no significant difference among treatments during whole experimental period. In growingI phase, G:F ratio tended to increase when CM was increased (P = 0.05), but ADG and ADFI tended to decrease in finishingII phase (linear, P = 0.08). Also, increasing CM reduced ADG (linear, P = 0.02) and feed efficiency (linear, P = 0.08) during the whole finishing period. In blood profiles, BUN was linearly increased as CM increased (linear, P = 0.02) at growingII period. In digestibility trial, there was no significant difference in dry matter, crude fat, crude ash and nitrogen digestibility. However, crude protein digestibility was decreased linearly (linear, P = 0.02). In economic analysis, feed cost per weight gain and total feed cost per pig were reduced in overall period when CM was provided by 25% (linear, P = 0.02). Conclusion: CM with 0.1% of ${\beta}$-mannanase (800 IU) could be supplemented instead of corn and SBM up to 25% without detrimental effects on growth performance and pork quality of growing-finishing pigs.
