Ethyl carbamate (EC) classified as a probable human carcinogen (Group 2A) is naturally formed in alcoholic beverages and fermented foods during fermentation process and/or during storage. The objective of this study was to analyze EC in 34 food items including 14 alcoholic beverages and 20 fermented foods sold in Korea. Each food was collected from 18 supermarkets in 9 metropolitan cities in Korea, and then made into composite. According to food composition and alcohol content, samples were divided into four matrices such as apple juice, milk, Soju (liquor containing about 20% alcohol), and rice porridge. The maximum EC value of $151.06{\mu}g/kg$ was found in Maesilju (liquor made from Maesil and Soju). Whisky and Bokbunjaju (Korean black raspberry wine) contained $9.90{\mu}g/kg$ and $6.30{\mu}g/kg$, respectively. EC was not detected in other alcoholic beverages. Of 20 fermented foods, Japanese-style soy sauce had highest level of $15.59{\mu}g/kg$ and traditional one contained $4.18{\mu}g/kg$. Soybean paste had $1.18{\mu}g/kg$, however, EC was not found in other fermented foods.

국내 유통 주류 95점에 대하여 에틸카바메이트 잔류실태 조사를 실시하였다. 탁주, 약주, 청주, 과실주를 비롯하여 소주, 브랜디 그리고 에틸카바메이트 잔류가 많이 보고되고 있는 리큐르 등을 대상으로 하였다. 액액분배를 통하여 정제하였으며, GC/MS/MS 분석법을 정립하였다. 카트리지(cartridge)나 농축 과정이 없기 때문에 식품공전에 등재되어 있는 GC/MS 분석법보다 분석시간이나 소요비용 면에서 매우 효율적이었다. 정성한계는 1.3 ug/L이었으며, 정량한계는 4.0 ug/L이었다. 탁주, 약주, 청주에 대하여 각각 0.63, 7.01, 14.11 ug/L의 평균 잔류량을 나타내 캐나다의 청주 허용기준 200 ug/L나 약주, 청주에서 논의되고 있는 허용기준치 200 ug/L와 비교하여 보았을 때 안전한 수준인 것으로 나타났다. 복분자주, 포도주에서는 각각 평균 1.66, 2.64 ug/L 검출되어 현재 캐나다, 체코에서 포도주 허용기준치로 설정되어 있는 30 ug/L와 비교하여 보았을 때 역시 안전한 것으로 나타났다. 과실주 중 매실주의 경우 평균 79.18 ug/L로 본 연구를 통하여 평가된 모든 주종 중 가장 높은 잔류량을 나타내었으나, 외국의 다른 유사 주종에 대한 허용기준치 (예로서 캐나다의 경우 400 ug/L 과실 브랜디)와 비교하여 보았을 때 안전한 수준으로 평가할 수 있었다. 증류식 소주, 일반증류주, 리큐르도 논의되고 있는 기준치와 비교하여 보았을 때 안전한 것으로 조사되었다. 이러한 조사결과는 우리술의 에틸카바메이트 잔류실태가 위험한 수준이 아니라는 근거 자료로 활용할 수 있을 것이며, 향후 이러한 유해물질의 지속적인 잔류조사 및 위해평가를 통하여 우리 술 및 전통발효식품의 품질 및 안전성을 확보해 나가야 할 것이다.

Three kinds of traditional Andong vinegars, manufactured from Songwhaju which was a traditional rice alcoholic beverage in Andong province, were investigated on the physicochemical characteristics compared with commercial rice vinegar speciality and on the factors affecting their flavor components. Traditional Andong vinegars had a low level of total acids$(3.1{\sim}3.6%)$ and more soluble solids than rice vinegar speciality. Lactic acid contents were also high and it came from lactic acid fermentation in the early stage of the vinegar manufacturing process. Other organic acids such as malic, citric and succinic acid were also detected. Free amino acid analysis showed that alanine, arginine and leucine contents, which were known as a main characteristics of rice vinegar, were especially high. In addition, a considerable amounts of glutamic acid and aspartic acid which were known as a mild effectors of acidic taste in rice vinegar products were detected.

The purpose of this study was to explore consumers' perceptions and satisfaction of Makgeolli in Daejeon. The study examined the perceptions of consumers of a number of Makgeolli characteristics. A total of 199 respondents provided information regarding their perceptions of Makgeolli. Exploratory factor analysis showed that six factors of consumers' perceptions toward Makgeolli were: delight, harmony with food, atmosphere, health /tradition-related, self-fulfillment, and emotion. Examining the effect of each factor on Makgeolli satisfaction showed that delight had a negative relationship with satisfaction while harmony with food and health/tradition-related showed positive relationships. Atmosphere, self-fulfillment, and emotion did not impact satisfaction. Comparisons of the eleven attributes using t-test between Makgeolli and alcoholic beverages showed significant differences in six attributes: creating a special dining ambience(p<0.001), socializing(p<0.001), enhancing the taste of food(p<0.001), satisfying thirst(p<0.01), esthetic(p<0.01), and stylish(p<0.001). Most of the places where Makgeolli was consumed were traditional bars(53.4%) and Korean restaurants(29.1%). In order to make Makeolli as a global beverage further studies regarding Makgeolli purchasing motivation, satisfaction, consumer characteristics should be studied.

Takju is a traditional alcoholic beverage that has been prepared by fermenting the cooked rice and Nuruk (Korean-style bran koji). During fermentation. bacterial contamination is a problem which inhibits the growth of yeast and thus lowers the ethanol production from starch of rice, and causes souring. Major contaminants were known to be gram-positive acid producers at the early stage of fermentation. This problem would be solved if the contaminated bacteria could be controlled. Nisin, a GRAS-grade preservative, was added at the level of 500 iu/g as it retards the growth of the gram-positive bacteria. It was possible to control acid and ethanol production during fermentation. This process increased the ethanol production by 2 % comparing with control.

Changes in taste components of Backilju, an traditional alcoholic beverage of Korea, were investigated. Ethanol(17%) was the most abundant, and then isoamylalcohol(23mg%) and methanol(8mg%) were also detected in a small amount in Backilju. Major non-volatile organic acids were lactic and malic acid, followed by citric, fumaric and succinic acid. Arginine, phenylalanine and glutamic acid were major free amino acids and essential amino acid content was 230∼560 mg%, which was 45∼48% of total free amino acids. The major fatty acid of total lipid was palmitic acid(37∼43%). It has been found that the Backilju contained more free amino acids and alcohols than other Korean Yokjus.

This study was to investigate the trends of dietary life as based on the assumption that economic growth caused the change in dietary life. Newspaper articles on home cooking in Cho-Sun Daily Newspaper, published from 1961 to 1993, were analyzed, and the results are summerized as follows: (1) Total number of articles on home cooking was 817. Traditional Korean foods had been introduced more often than foreign foods, particularily after the third period($'79{\sim}'93$). In the first period($'61{\sim}'67$ serving size of 5 had been adapted mainly, whereas serving size of 4 had been adapted more frequently after third period. (2) Vegetable foods were the most frequently introduced item in home cooking articles as a whole. In the third and forth periods starch foods had been reduced, whereas vegetable and meat foods had been increased in home cooking articles. Use of foods of the season had been reduced thanks to spreading of greenhouse and to improvement of food storage technology. (3) Traditional Korean foods were largely composed of kimchi, boiled rice, Korean style soup and stew which are basic foods in Korea. Foreign foods introduced were mainly beverage, alcoholic drink and salad. Since 1980 meat, chicken and vegetable dishes had been frequently introduced. In conclusion, the daily newspaper articles on home cooking reflect the changes in Koreans' food consumption pattern and consciousness of dietary life.

This study was designed to investigate development points for automatic ice maker which met consumer's demand. Basic data about using ices in Korean's dietary life, were collected from Seoul and Kyunggi-do residences and analyzed by SPSS program. The results were as follows; 93.7% of respondents had 3 major domestic brands' refrigerator and 41.4% of them had medium-large capacity(400-519L). 65% of respondents had a refrigerator that was purchased less than five years. 15.5% of respondents had one more refrigerator. Among of them, major refrigerator was located in kitchen(67.7%) and minor was in kitchen(29.8%) and in veranda or multi-purpose room(26.3%). 66.2% of respondents always prepared ices in ice container, and 85% of them used ice only in summer. Boiling water with barley or corn was used as drinking water (45.6%) and boiled or purified tap water was used to make ice (38.6%) commonly. In cooking, ice was used especially in cold soup with cucumber and seaweed(89.9%), ice-tea or ice-coffee(81%), and fruit punch(64%). The next commonly using ice was adding in alcoholic beverage such as whiskey(57.4%), in Koreans traditional drink(Misugaru) (45.2%) and juice. The purpose of using ice was to cool in soft drink (58.6%), to cool in cooking food(19.9%), to eat ice itself(14.0%), and to enjoy more fantastic taste and mood(3.8%). In whiskey, the purpose of using ices was to control alcoholic content (52.9%). There was no significant difference between sex in the purpose of using ice, but there was significant differences between age(p＜0.05). Seasonal variations in using ice, there were significant differences according to sex, age, roles in family, amount of preparation of ice, socio-economic level and brand and capacity of refrigerator in respondent's home.
