At beginning the fermentation is naturally occurred by natural microbes. Fermentation techniques apply as two ways, one is fermentation to produce fermented foods and the other is preservation of the foods for longer time for future. They contain various biological active ingredient, like as vitamins. Microorganisms concerning fermentation are well known the functionalities. Each nations in the world have unique and distinct foods and dietary habits on their own specific cultures and accessible edible raw resources of plant or animal origins. Many countries have their unique traditional fermented foods based on their natural conditions. Korea has very famous traditional fermented foods, as Kimchi, fermented soybean products(Jang), fermented fish products(Jeotgal) and vinegar. In this review will discuss the overall fermented foods and typical Korean traditional fermented foods with functionalities, and future effort to enlarge into wide range of new industry.

It has been many changes in traditional Korean food habits according to the improvement of household income levels and the rise of standard of living. Therefore, the pattern of consumption in animal origin processed/convenient foods would have changed. This research aims to find the tendency of consumption in some animal origin processed/convenient foods compared with typical Korean traditional foods according to household income levels. Therefore, this survey was made on 698 children from 10 elementary schools located in Seoul. They were divided into 6 groups according to their household income levels. The data were analysed using Chi-square test and F-test in SPSS package program. From this research, the following results were obtained: 1. Their average monthly household income levels were between 500, 000~1, 500, 000 won(64.2%) and their family were of mostly 4~5 members. There were no significant differences in children's physical status among various income groups. As the household. income level increases, the food expenditure per month increases and Engel's coefficient decreases. 2. The animal origin processed/convenient foods that have no significant differences are ham, sausage, milk, yogurt, canned fish, and fish meal. The high-income groups preferred bacon, cheese, pork cutlet, and fried chicken, compared to those of low-income groups. The low-income groups preferred crab-flavored meal, compared to those of high-income groups. 3. In some Korean traditional foods, there were significant differences according to income levels. Those were Bulgogi, baked fish, fried meat, cooked fish and meat with soy-bean sauce. Fried fish and anchovy have no significant differences in food intake frequency according to household income levels. Chicken and egg saute are liked by children in every income groups. 4. Between the animal origin processed/convenient foods and the typical Korean nonprocessed traditional foods, children preferred the former regardless of income levels. In conclusion, animal origin processed/convenient food consumption patterns were not affected by household income levels.

This study was undertaken to examine the knowledge about food culture and intakes of traditional food in Korean and Japanese elementary school students. In 2012 and 2013, a total of 265 students were surveyed, consisting of 73 Korean fifth graders and 192 Japanese sixth graders. The questionnaire comprised of queries on general items, the recognition and sampling of traditional and celebration foods, the knowledge about the partner country's food culture, and the frequency of consuming the partner country's foods. As a result of this study, the frequency of consuming their own country's traditional foods for Korean children (3.1 out of 5.0 points) and Japanese children (3.2 out of 5.0 points) was similar to each other. Japanese children reported to eat Korean foods (2.9 points) more frequently than those of Korean children to eat Japanese foods (2.4 out of 5.0 points) (p<0.001). However, the Korean children reported to have more experience on given typical Japanese foods than Japanese children reported about Korean foods. Further studies are needed for the perception on traditional foods in Korean and Japanese children. The results of this study can be used as a basic data to succeed and develop traditional food cultures.

This study was performed to investigate the recognition on preprocessed foods among dietitians employed in 106 elementary school foodservices in Inchon by questionnaire from December 11th to 28th in 1999. Number of cooks in school foodservices increased significantly(p<0.01) with the number of children to feed, and 8 or 9 cooks were the most typical number(36.79%). Most(93.4%) of the subjects understood that it is necessary to use the preprocessed foods and they considered the food hygiene as the most important factor. Many subjects(89.62%) responded that the lack of cooks and cooking equipment was partly solved by using preprocessed foods and the expected reductions in personnel and waste through using preprocessed foods were $15{\sim}20%$ (38.68% of the subjects) and 20-30% (41.51% of the subjects), respectively.

A recombinant human erythropoietin (EPO), expressed in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, is glycosylated at Asn 24, Asn 38, Asn 83, and Ser 126. After release of the N-linked carbohydrate chains by $peptide-N^{4}-(N-acetyl-{\beta}-glucosaminyl)$ asparagine amidase F, the oligosaccharides were analyzed by FACE (Fluorophore-Assisted Carbohydrate Electrophoresis). The O-linked carbohydrate chain was separated by hydrazine, and analyzed by FACE. The monosacccharide composition of recombinant EPO showed man nose, fucose, galactose, N-acetylglucosamine, N-acetylneuraminic acid, and a trace of N-acetylgalactosamine, which are typical monosaccharides in the glycoproteins from the CHO cell. Sequences of N-linked and O-linked oligosaccharides were determined. The structure and composition of oligosaccharides attached to recombinant human EPO, expressed in the CHO cell, are identical to the reported oligosaccharide structure in human EPO isolated from urine.

Recently, due to the cognition that obesity is the cause of adult diseases, interests of consumers in low-sugar and low-calorie foods are growing more and more. While various policies are being implemented to reduce sugar contents in processed foods, the reduced sweetness caused by lesser sugar content is complemented by using high-intensity sweeteners. Some of the typical high-intensity sweeteners are sucralose, aspartame, acesulfame potassium and stevia, etc. Since the relative sweetness degree, sweetness profile, and physical properties of these sweeteners should be different from one another, it is important that all these characteristics are well-understood before applying them. Thus, the objective of this study is to introduce the properties and applications of high-intensity sweeteners in order to reduce sugar content of processed foods.
