This study was conducted to determine the elements that are required and that need improvement in the contents of dietary life education and the educational environment by analyzing the importance-satisfaction of a dietary life education program for dietary life education trainees. The results of the rank test for the satisfactory elements of dietary life education were in the order of competence of instructors, educational contents, time of education, educational environment and affordability of tuition. The importance-satisfaction analysis of the contents and construction of the dietary life education program showed that "suitable contents for the theme of the class", "contents and construction of practice class", "diversity of practice menu" and "diversity of educational contents" had high importance and satisfaction scores and therefore, could be maintained at their current levels. Meanwhile, "adequacy of class time" and "contents and construction of theory class" showed low importance and satisfaction scores, requiring a little effort. Whereas, "time and construction of group practice", "structure of textbook for class" and "duration of course and number of classes" showed relatively low satisfaction compared to importance, requiring major efforts for improvement. Similarly, analysis of the lecture element from dietary life education showed that "professional lecture by instructors", "lectures suitable for themes" and "lecture applicable in real life" had relatively low satisfaction compared to importance, requiring major efforts for improvement. In addition, analysis of the educational environment from dietary life education showed that "adequacy of lecture room space", "cooking equipment", "diversity of cooking utensils" and "sanitary condition of cooking utensils" also require major efforts for improvement. Therefore, dietary life education should not be executed with a simple delivery of knowledge but with both theory and practice classes to increase its application in real life, and active and specific efforts are required to nurture professional instructors and establish educational strategies.

In order to develop a better food preparation method in terms of vitamin retention in food service establishments, the retention rate of riboflavin in two kinds of Korean dish (stir-fried sausage with vegetables, stir-fried garlic young stems) were examined during various cooking stages, holding temperature and duration time. Riboflavin content of the sample was analyzed using by using a HPLC with a fluorescent detector at various holding durations and temperatures. Also the changes in the pH and water contents of the samples were measured during holding at various temperatures to find any relation among the pH, water contents and riboflavin content. In the results, there were significant differences in riboflavin contents at various cooking processes such as washing, slicing, blanching, soaking, etc. Also, the retention rates of riboflavin at various holding methods and temperature were significantly different from one another. Especially 50% reduction of riboflavin content occurred during blanching of young garlic stem and only 38% of riboflavin was left after slicing carrots for stir-frying of sausage.

A variation of free sugar and amino acid contents of pears during the ripening period was determined by HPLC and amino acid analyzer. The research results are as follws: Fructose, glucose and sucrose were present in the pears. The contents of fructose was the highest, followed by glucose and sucrose in order. The contents of total sugar in Shingo and Youngsan was similar, but the contents of frucose in Shingo was lower and the contents of sucrose was higher than that of Youngsan (p＜.001). During the ripening period, the contents of fructose and glucose gradually increased during the harvesting season and then somewhat decreased. The contents of sucrose increased continually, while the contents of total free sugar reached the maximum during the harvesting season, it was 10.41%, 10.29% in Shingo and Youngsan and then decreased gradually. The contents of total free amino acid in Shingo was higher than that of Youngsan. A variation ratio and the composition of amino acid in Shingo and Youngsan during the ripening period didn＇t make a significant difference. The major free amino acid of the pears was in the order of aspartic acid, serine, threonine, histidine, glutamic acid, valine, arginine, and alanine. During the ripening period, aspartic acid, threonin, serine, methionine, isoleucine, leucine, histidine, and Iysine increased gradually. Glutamic acid, alanine, valine, arginine didn＇t show much change. The contents of total free amino acid increased during the ripening period.

Jiwhang (Rehmannia glutinosa), one of the most widely used medicinal herbs, was dried with various methods such as sun drying, hot air drying, vacuum drying, and freeze drying methods, and their effects on the antioxidant capacity in relation with the content of total phenolic compounds were studied with a steamed-and-dried rehmannia (sookjiwhang) for comparison. Generally, total phenolic contents decreased significantly by all of the drying treatments except the steamed-and-dried rehmannia, in which total phenolic contents increased 2.4 fold compared with fresh rehmannia. Content of verbascoside, a functional phenolic compound, was the highest in the freeze-dried rehmannia ($177.97{\pm}0.02\;{\mu}g/g$ d.m.) followed by vacuum-dried ($105.55{\pm}0.07\;{\mu}g/g$ d.m.), hot air-dried ($23.01{\pm}0.02\;{\mu}g/g$ d.m.), and sun-dried ($4.89{\pm}0.13\;{\mu}g/g$ d.m.) ones comparable to the fresh rehmannia ($80.15{\pm}1.26\;{\mu}g/g$ d.m.). Antioxidant capacity determined by both 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azinobis (3-ethyl-benzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) methods agreed with the result of total phenolic contents, that is, the antioxidant capacity was the highest in the steamed-and-dried rehmannia followed by fresh rehmannia, vacuum-dried, hot air-dried, sun-dried, and freeze-dried ones. Conclusively, the total phenolic contents and antioxidant capacity of rehmannia were greatly affected by the drying methods used.

To proceed mass production and improve its quality, we fermented potatoes using pilot system and investigated the changes in components during fermentation. After liquefaction and saccharification of potatoes by Nuruk(group I), crude enzyme(group II) and glucoamylase(group III), sugar contents in all groups were 18brix equally. However sugar contents in group(II) and group(III) after 24hrs decreased deeply to 7.2 and 8.8 % respectively, after 24hrs. Alcohol content in group(I) increased slowly and was the highest such as 6.8% after 48hrs. Fusel oils in all groups were n-propanol, isobutanol and isoamylalcohol. The major fusel oil in all groups was isoamylalcohol. At the early stage of fermentation, free sugars were glucose, maltose and lactose. Glucose decreased deeply during fermentation and at latter of the fermentation, galactose was detected in all groups. The contents of total free amino acid were 516.57~569.98 mg% in group(I), 193.97~292.11 mg% in group (II) and 186.31~270.53 mg% in group(III). The contents of aspartic acid, serine, glutamic acid, alanine, arginine, and histidine were high in all groups.

Soybean is an important plant as it is the source of protein and oil as well as various phytochemicals that are related with biological activity. Over the past decades, scientists have conducted considerable research on the physiological properties of soybeans, especially isoflavones, which are the characteristic components in soybeans. However, there is no research on the properties or the bio-functionality of soybean leaf. Jangachi and kimchi are two of the traditional special dishes of Gyungsang Province in Korea which we made from soybean leaves. Depending on the recipe, green or yellow soybean leaves are used for the preparation of these two side dishes. We compared the antioxidative activity and measured the contents of isoflavones, total phenol, chlorophylls, carotenoids, and vitamin C in the ingredients (green and yellow soybean leaf) and the final side dishes (jangachi and kimchi). We Int report that isoflavones were contained in soybean leaf and that jangachi had the highest isoflavone contents among the samples. Yellow soybean leaf contained higher isoflavones than green soybean lear and kimchi. From the TEAC assay results, the sequence or antioxidative activities was yellow soybean leaf > soybean leaf jangachi > green soybean leaf > soybean leaf kimchi. The sequence was the same with total phenol contents, indicating that antioxidative activity is highly related with total phenol level. Chlorophylls, carotenoids and vitamin C existed abundantly in green soybean leaf. In conclusion, soybean leaf could be a good material for health due to the presence of isoflavones and the other useful antioxidants mentioned above.
