  • The optimization of the addition ratios of Houttuynia cordata, Saururus chinensis, and Polygonatum odoratum var. pluriflorum hot water extract to Houttuynia cordata beverage was evaluated by applying response surface methodology. The quality characteristics of a selected best product were investigated. Sweet, savory, and fishy taste, and overall acceptability were optimized by response surface methodology using a central composite design. The concentration of effect of Houttuynia cordata, Saururus chinensis, and Polygonatum odoratum var. pluriflorum hot water extract was modeled using an equation. Hot water extracts of Houttuynia cordata ($1.75{\sim}1.89%$), Saururus chinensis ($1.03{\sim}1.04%$), and Polygonatum odoratum var. pluriflorum ($2.17{\sim}2.31%$) represented the optimal concentration conditions to obtain the best taste. The physical and chemical characteristics of the beverage manufactured at optimized conditions were pH 4.18, soluble solids 0.41 $^{\circ}Brix$, total acidity 0.21%, color value ($L^*$ value 40.08, $a^*$ value 4.53, and $b^*$ value 10.69), total polyphenol 54.63 mg/L, and electron donating ability 26.98%.

  • E-Learning, a technology-based learning process is the obtaining of knowledge from the basis of IT technology. The development of e-Learning requires corporate educational staff as well as HR staff, who manage e-learning, to drastically change their roles. The main reason for this is that the properly adapted and highly experienced education and training abilities of HR staff could accelerate the adoption and usage of e-Learning but they need to clearly select and define an appropriate curriculum from among the extensive mass-customized content with an e-learning basis. Here the research has analyzed the influence of the introduction and usage of e-Learning in hotels on HR staff and their roles from the viewpoint of hermeneutic phenomenology.

  • Free from limitations of time and space, diet management with smartphones can be highly useful for college students. This study aimed to improve the utility of diet related apps by efficacy and app evaluation after using the apps for 2 weeks. Results showed that the intent for continuing use apps was low, and the lack of efficacy indicated the currently developed apps had not significantly influenced their motivating healthy diet. Average app rating was $3.12{\pm}0.85$. Among 4 rating factors, convenience and contents were relatively higher than usefulness and community. Especially, there was significant difference in contents and convenience according to gender, contents and community according to BMI and previous diet experience. In the future, considering the needs and characteristics of college students, we need to find ways to enhance the usefulness of the app and to strengthen the social networking.

  • This work measured the approximate levels of chemical components in the fleshpeel of unripe peaches picked at different times. The unripe samples were divided into two groups. Group I was picked on April 20 and Group II on May 2. Both samples were analyzed for organic acids, free sugars, Brix values, acidity, amino acids, and minerals. The major organic acid contents in Group I and Group II samples were oxalic acid> citric acid> malic acid> tartaric acid. The order of major free sugarin Group I and Group II samples were arabinose> sucrose in flesh and arabinose> glucose> sucrose in peel. The order of amino acid levels in all samples was aspartic acid> proline> glutamic acid> serine> leucine> lysine. The Brix values, acidity levels, and pH values of all samples were in the ranges of $7.6-9.8^{\circ}Brix$, 0.50-0.55 % and 4.13-4.17, respectively. The order of mineral content in all samples was K> Ca> Mg> Na.

  • The purpose of this study was to determine the differences in perception of food hygiene and interest in dietary information among university students. A total of 550 college students from Seoul and the surrounding metropolitan area participated in this questionnaire using one-to-one interviews from September 20th to 28th, 2012. Three groups were classified according to level of awareness and practice of food safety. The highest education level of food safety was in the active-practice group (69.6%), with 58.0% in the want-practice group and 24.6% in the low-practice group. There were significant differences between the awareness and practice groups in terms of importance of food safety (p<0.001). Exactly 74.3% interest in food hygiene was measured in the active-practice group. Interests in dietary and food information were different between the groups: 71.4% for the active-practice group versus 24.6% for the low-practice group (p<0.001). Low-practice group showed the lowest scores for interests in organic food, pesticide-free food, low-pesticide food, slow food, LOHAS, healthy-functional food, nutritional labels, and expiration dates. In conclusion, appropriate levels of food hygiene and food safety education should be provided by the food industry according to perception of food awareness and practice of food safety.
