For the purpose of making a functional and stable yogurt, new type yogurt were prepared from 12% whole milk and 2% skim milk added hot-water extracted from sea tangle. The yogurt product were evaluated for acid production(pH, titratable acidity), number of viable cell, viscosity, degree of curd sedimentation, quality-keeping property and sensory property. By addition of hot-water extracted from 0.5% sea tangle, the titratable acidity of yogurt(1.89%) was higher than that of yogurt not added hot-water extract of sea tangle(1.53%). The propagation of lactic acid bacteria was stimulated by adding hot-water extracted from 0.5% sea tangle, and the number of viable cells were about 1.4${\times}$10$\^$9/CFU/$m\ell$. On the other hand, the number of viable cells in control were 4.4${\times}$10$\^$8/CFU/$m\ell$. Viscosity of yogurt made from adding hot-water extracted from 0.5% sea tangle(25 CPS) was higher than that of yogurt with only milk(22 CPS). When yogurt made from adding hot-water extracted from sea tangle was kept at 7$^{\circ}C$ for 15 days, its quality-keeping was relatively good. The sedimentation of curd was repressed a little by adding hot-water extracted from 0.5% and 0.1% sea tangle. The overall sensory score of yogurt made from adding hot-water extracted from 1% sea tangle was the best of tested yogurt.

To isolate bacteria secreting protease, which can dissolve fibrin efficiently, we prepared chunggukjang using rice straw and isolated, preliminarily, approximately 100 bacterial stains. Their capabilities to dissolve milk protein as well as fibrin included in media were then examined and finally, five strains named J1 - J5 were selected. Among them, J-4, which is close to bacillus subtilis, showed highest activity for fibrin dissolution. Proteases secreted from the J-4 strain were partially purified from culture supernatant using DEAE-sepharose column chromatography and identified with SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Three proteins were subjected to analysis with MALDI-TOF and PMF (Peptide Mass Fingerprinting). 41.9 kDa protein was identified as a neutral protease. On the other hand, 45 kDa protein turned out to be bacillopeptidase F, with a molecular mass of 91.7 kDa, indicating that partially purified peptide is a degradation product.

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of soaking in dairy products on the reduction of fishy odor in steamed crab meat using a mass spectrometer-based electronic nose. The steamed crab meat was soaked in three different dairy products (whole milk, soymilk, and yogurt) and the changes in the pattern of volatile components were analyzed by discriminant function analysis. The discriminant function first score (DF1) moved significantly from a negative position to a positive direction with an increase in soaking time. This suggested that the intensity of the fishy odor became weaker as soaking time increased. The effect of whole milk on the reduction of fishy odor was better than that of yogurt. The results of this study demonstrate that off-flavors can be reduced using dairy products.

The present study was undertaken to elucidate the antibacterial spectrum of L. casei phage type $J_1$ strain isolated from a fermented milk product against pathogenic enteric bacteria. Growth inhibitory effects and minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC) of culture supernatants of L. casei grown in MRS broth were measured by both plate culture method and microplate broth dilution technique against Salmonella typhi, Salmonella typhimurium, Shigella flexneri, Shigella dysenteriae, enterpathogenic E. coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The results are summarized as follows: 1. The MRS broth culture of L. casei gave a similar extent of growth inhibitory effects against S. typhi, S. typhimurium, S. flexneri, S. dysenteriae, E. coli, K. pneumoniae and P. aeruginosa, respectively. 2. The inhibitory effects of L. casei culture were observed either in whole broth culture or in culture supernatant, but neither the bacterial suspension nor the neutralized culture supernatant showed such as antibacterial activities. 3. The MIC titres of the culture supernatants were ${\log_2}5$ to ${\log_2}6$, whereas those of the neutralized culture supernatant dropped markdely to ${\log_2}2$ to ${\log_2}3$. These results indicated that major portion of growth inhibitory effects of MRS broth culture of L. casei against enteric bacterial pathogens was possibly due to the acids produced, and minor portion to other antibacterial substances.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of cooking activities on the unbalanced dietary food habits of elementary school students and develop the effective cooking activity program for the improvement of unbalanced dietary behaviors as well as the food intake and menu acceptance. The subjects of this study were 256 elementary school students. The cooking activity group and control group were consisted of 128 students of $3^{rd}$ & $5^{th}$ grader each. Both cooking activity and the control group took the same 1-hour nutritional theory based class for 10 sessions. Only Cooking activity (CA) group took additional 10 sessions of 1-hour cooking class. Programs for cooking activity were developed and 10 cooking activity sessions were taken place for 4 months. The questionnairs were used to evaluate the effect of the cooking activities over the intake of food group, unbalanced dietary behavior, eating attitudes, menu acceptance before and after the completion of all the cooking activities. Cooking activities affect the unbalanced dietary behaviors and the intake of food groups. Fish, cereals, milk products, fruits, potatoes, vegetables were more eaten by CA group than control group. Eating attitudes and unbalanced dietary behaviors of CA group are also improved significantly than control group. From these results, it was concluded that cooking activities had the positive effect on the improvement of unbalanced dietary food habits over vegetables, cereals, fish, milk product and fruits as well as the unbalanced dietary behaviors of the elementary school children.

The purpose of this study was to obtain baseline data on nutritional management of women's bone health. We examined the bone mineral density (BMD) by ultrasound bone densitometer, anthropometric measurement and dietary intake to assess the nutrient intakes. The subjects were 102 Korean female college students (normal=59, bone disease group [osteopenia+osteoporosis]=43) and the mean age was 21.4 yr. Mean T-score (BMD) were -0.42 and -1.52 in normal and bone disease groups, respectively. Anthropometric measurement showed that 59% of the subjects were normal weight and bone disease group had lower value than normal group in majority of anthropometric index. The average energy intake was 1539.7 kcal, which was 73% of Korean EER. The subjects had lower vitamin C, folic acid, Ca and K intake than Korean RI independent of BMD. Bone disease group (1:2.05) showed significantly lower Ca:P ratio than normal group (1:1.86). Normal group had more intake frequency of milk and milk product than bone disease group. In relation to anthropometric index with T-score, significant correlations have been found in weight, PM, BFM, MM, TBW, SLM, FFM WHR, BMI and SMM. In relation to dietary factors with T-score, significant correlations have been found relating to intake frequency of milk and milk product. Our results indicate that for nutrients, ratio and balance may be more influential than intake for bone health in young women.

1,3-Dioleoyl-2-palmitoylglycerol (OPO)-rich human milk fat substitute (HMFS) was synthesized from tripalmitin (PPP)-rich fraction and oleic ethyl ester by a lipase-catalyzed interesterification. Response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to optimize the presence of palmitic acid at sn-2 position ($Y_1$, %) and of oleic acid at sn-1,3 ($Y_2$, %), with the reaction factors as substrate molar ratio of PPP-rich fraction to oleic ethyl ester ($X_1$, 1:4, 1:5 and 1:6), reaction temperature ($X_2$, 50, 55 and $60^{\circ}C$), and time ($X_3$, 3, 7.5 and 12 h). The optimal conditions for HMFS synthesis were predicted at the reaction combination of $55^{\circ}C$, 3 h and 1:6 substrate ratio. HMFS re-synthesized under the same conditions displayed 70.70% palmitic acid at the sn-2 position and 69.58% oleic acid at the sn-1,3 position. Reaction product was predominantly (90.35%) triacylglycerol (TAG) was observed in which the major TAG species, OPO, comprised 31.24%.

The present study aimed to calcium (Ca), iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) contents were compared with reference values indicated on the nutrition label of nutrition emphasized food. Also, this paper will briefly review and evaluate what is currently known about Fe-Zn and Ca-Fe interaction. Ca, Fe or Zn-emphasized product, including cereal, snack, soy milk, chocolate product, other cocoa product, sugars product, beverage and tea were analyzed. The contents of Ca, Fe, and Zn in samples after dry-ashing were examined by ICP. The measured Ca (n = 42), Fe (n = 13), Zn (n = 6) values were ranged 87~176%, 98~167%, 98~275% of reference value indicated product, respectively. All samples were ranged more than 80% of the reference value, which were complied with food regulation. High intake of Ca has been shown to adversely affect Fe absorption and the negative effect of Fe on Zn absorption is well known. Therefore, it is important to consider Ca-Fe and Fe-Zn absorption interaction, when Ca, Fe or Zn-emphasized product produce and nutrition labeling policy should be managed regularly with continuous monitoring.

This study was intended to collect the baseline information on dietary behavior of adults to develop nutrition education program in the context of health promotion at community level. Nutrients intake of 135 housewives were assessed by 24 hour recall methods. Also food habits, nutrition knowledge and attitude were investigated by self-administered questionnaires. Our results indicated dietary intake of calcium and vitamin $B_2$ were insufficient when they were compared to Korean recommended dietary allowances(RDA). Among five food groups, intakes of milk and dairy product was inadequate as compared to the recommended amount. When we compared the fatness indices to self-evaluated meal problems, overeating and speedy eating were significantly related to fatness indices. Fatness indices such as relative body weight(RBW) and body mass index(BMI) were significantly higher in the subjects who self-evaluated their unsound food behavior as overeating. However, there were no significant differences of food habit score and nutrition knowledge among groups classified by fatness or meal problem. Body fat ratio, frequencies of night snack and skipping meal significantly increased with age. Food habit score was positively related to health-concerned attitude and active attitude toward change. We concluded that nutrition education program for housewives should include detailed strategies to modify unsound food behaviors for healthy weight.
