  • This study aimed at developing an educational program for South Korean adolescents on North Korean family living culture so that the students become familiar with the values and everyday lifestyles of North Korea. Understanding of North Korean culture is considered important as a foundation for social integration in prospect of future reunification. The contents of the program were developed based on the analysis of North Korean defectors' interviews and review of the literature and media reports on North Korean family culture. The program consists of 12 units of 40-minute sessions with the following topics: economy and consumption, leisure activities, family relationships, dating and spouse choices, fashion changes, clothing acquisition and care, food choices and local diets, dietary problems, housing, and neighborhood. The program was implemented between December 21 and 30, 2015 in a middle school located in Seoul. This program is expected to be useful in preparing the students as future leaders to create harmonious family living culture in the reunified Korea.

  • As Korea is moving toward multicultural society, the number of Muslim, whose religion has a great influence on diet-related behaviors, is increasing in Korea. Since the number of immigrants from Indonesia ranks within top ten in Korea and Indonesia is one of the most representative Islamic countries in Asia, understanding the diet-related behaviors and food preferences of Indonesians is needed. This study was conducted to investigate diet-related behaviors, factors affecting the diet-related perceptions, and food preferences of the Indonesians. The subjects included 500 Indonesians dwelling in Jakarta, Indonesia. About ninety % of the subjects in this study were Muslims. They did not eat pork and dog meat for religious reason and they practiced fasting during Ramadan period. Indonesians avoided pineapple, durian, and hot foods during pregnancy and usually ate vegetables and fruits after birth, which seemed to be due to sociocultural influence. Among the subjects, 21.5% were obese and major health problems reported were hypertension and hyperlipidemia. Their preference for fried food items might have contributed to health problems. Subjects had meals mostly at home (2.3 times/day) and dined out occasionally (1.2 times/week) at Indonesian restaurants (56.6%) or family restaurants (21.0%). In conclusion, Indonesians had home-based and native food-oriented dietary life with strong religious and sociocultural influence on food choices. Further research on specific nutrient intake analysis is needed to better understand and to improve dietary life of Indonesians in Korea.

  • The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of the duration of frying and storage periods on physicochemical characteristics of various oils using at home. The materials used for the study consisted of four kinds of vegetable oils: soybean, canola, extra virgin olive and pure olive oils, and shortening. Chicken breasts were fried in oils heated at $180^{\circ}C$. The oils were stored with or without filtering and reused 3 times, during the 10 day period. The extra virgin and pure olive oils showed higher acid, peroxide value and yellowness than the other oils (p<0.05), but soybean oil showed the highest increase in acid, peroxide value and yellowness with reusing and storage. In sensory evaluation, the chicken breast fried with soybean oils remarkably decreased the overall acceptance. These results suggested that all frying oils are available because acid and peroxide values of the oils are lower than the standard level. However, reusing soybean oil should be noted with caution in that it is very easy to reduce rancidity, and extra virgin olive oil is not appropriate for frying.
