To establish a globalization strategy for Korean food, it is important to ascertain foreign consumer's taste preferences and to evaluate their sensory perceptions of Korean food. In concert with previous studies, the most preferred food were Bulgogi and Galbi. However, respondents showed somewhat different preferences for other foods. Chinese and other Asian participants preferred Galbitang and Samgyetang, while Japanese participants preferred Pajeon, Galbitang and Japchae, and Western participants preferred Galbitang, Mandu and Bibimbap. The most preferred condiment was hot pepper paste (the representative condiment of Korea) and the least preferred one was ginger. Hot pepper paste was preferred most by Japanese participants, while Chinese participants tended not to prefer ginger and other Asian participants excepting those from China and Japan disliked vinegar most. Foreign consumers tended to consider Korean food as sweet, salty and very hot. Chinese participants considered Korean food to be 'plain' and 'light and washy' in taste, while Japanese participants considered Korean food to be 'greasy' and 'thick and sticky'.

In this study the automated technique TEMPO STA method, a new automated enumeration based on MPN method, was compared to the direct plate count method by testing various ready-to-eat compound food products. Artificially inoculated food samples with Staphylococcus aureus - Bibimbap, Bibimnaengmyeon, Mulnaengmyeon, Kimmaki, Salad, Japchae, and Sushi- were tested. Statistical analysis of the results showed above 99% in agreement between the two enumeration methods. Also, we monitored 466 various ready-to-eat compound food products samples. The measure uncertainties of the two methods is also familiar, while TEMPO STA automated method is simpler, less time-consuming, more effective and more stable.

The present study attempted to conceptualize Korean typical tastes, flavors and foods and to gather professionals' opinions about the globalization of Korean foods. A total of 23 experts participated in a three round survey using the Delphi technique, which was used to integrate and share the professional ideas of each expert. The survey was categorized into two parts: 1. Korean typical tastes and flavors, 2. Korean typical foods. According to the results, 'hot chili pepper', 'Kimchi', 'soy sauce', and 'garlic' were represented as Korean typical tastes and flavors. Also 'harmonized' was determined to be a type of food that should be introduced to foreigners and, 'sweet' and 'tart' were shown to also be liked by foreigners. In addition, 'neobiani', 'kalbi', 'bibimbap', 'kimchi', 'japchae', and 'neobiani' were categorized as typical Korean foods, foods that should be introduced to foreigners, and foods that would be liked by foreigners.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the microbiological hazards of prepared foods, raw materials, utensils and workers' hands and to evaluate cross-contamination of bacteria in foodservice establishments. Aerobic plate counts, coliforms, E. coli, E. coli O157:H7, Salmonella spp., Staphylococcus aureus and Listeria monocytogenes were tested. According to the microbiological evaluation, there were many cases of contamination of bacteria. Staphylococcus aureus was detected in chicken stew (Korean type), Japchae, Bibimbap and Kongnamul-muchim at the A foodservice establishment and Jwieochae-jorim at the B foodservice establishment. E. coli was detected in Ojingeochae-muchim at the C foodservice establishment. E. coli O157:H7, Salmonella spp. and Listeria monocytogenes were not detected in any of the tested samples. Critically, microbiological contamination of raw materials, utensils and workers' hands could result in contamination of prepared foods, thus, attention needs to be given to sanitation of raw materials, workers' hands and utensils to reduce or eliminate contamination of bacteria.
