In this study, dietitians working in the school foodservice industry in the Chungbuk region were surveyed to determine their perception of medicinal herbs and medicinal foods in order to obtain basic data for developing medicinal food menus. The findings of this study are as follows. Many of the dietitians had low confidence in medicinal herbs used in medicinal foods. However the more the subjects ate such food, the higher their perception was. The higher the perception and reliability were, the more positive the answer was in terms of taste, nutrition and efficacy. Regarding the familiarity with medicinal herbs, the subjects, regardless of their age, showed a high perception of easily accessible medicinal herbs; younger subjects preferred Schisandrae fructus, Rubi fructus and Acanthopanacis cortex. The higher the perception and the eating frequency were, the higher the familiarity was. Regarding the development of medicinal food menus, the older the subjects were, the more positive they viewed the development of menus. Also, dietitians with 15 years of experience showed a high interest in the development of new menus.

In an attempt to figure out the relationship between zinc status and taste acuity of old and young women, dietary zinc intake, urinary zinc excretion, and taste acuity were determined for 118 women. Zinc intake was measured by 2-day food records and food frequency method. Urinary zinc excretion was measured from urine samples collected for twenty four hours. Body fat, lean body mass (LBM), and total body water were measured by bio-impedence. Average dietary zinc intake by food record was 4.15$\pm$1.33mg (=35% if Korean RDA) for the old women and 5.41$\pm$2.76mg (=25% of RDA) for young women. When zinc intake was measured by a frequency method, the average intakes of the old and young women were 3.5$\pm$1.7mg 4.5$\pm$1.9mg, respectively. It appears that dietary zinc intake of young women was significantly higher than that of the old women. Average urinary zinc excretion of the subjects was 0.27$\pm$0.16mg in the elderly and 0.24$\pm$0.13mg in young women, which indicated a marginal zinc status. However, zinc status was not significantly different between old and young women. Correlation analysis indicated that zinc intake and urinary zinc excretion were positively related to BMI and LBM in young women. The old women (m=49) showed significantly higher taste detection thresholds than young subjects (n=47) for both sweet and salty tastes. Recognition thresholds for sodium chloride and sucrose were not significantly different between old and young women. The lower the taste thresholds for salty taste, the higher the average dietary zinc intake. However, taste perception concentration was not related to the urinary zinc excretion level.

본 연구는 여자대학생을 대상으로 장기간의 자율적 저염식 실시가 짠 맛에 대한 인지와 기호에 영향을 미쳐 나트륨 섭취나 혈압에 변화를 가져 올 수 있는지를 조사하고자 실시되었다. 14명의 실험군 대상자들은 나트륨 관련 영양교육과 정보를 제공받아 저염식을 하도록 지시 받았고 10명의 대상자는 평상시의 식생활을 유지하도록 하였다. 짠 맛의 인지와 기호는 9점 척도의 관능검사로 평가하였고 뇨 나트륨 배설량과 최적 염미 나트륨 정량 분석하였으며 혈압을 측정하였다. 주요 연구 결과는 아래와 같다. 1) 연구 시작시의 실험군과 대조군은 나트륨 관련 식행동, 신체 계측치, 혈압, 24시간 회상법에 의한 나트륨 섭취량, 6단계의 염분용액에 대한 짠 맛 인지나 기호에서 차이가 없었다. 2) 6개월의 저염식 실시 후 실험군 대상자들은 0.5% 이하 염분 용액에서 짠 맛 인지도가 높아졌고 대조군은 낮아져 저염식 실시로 낮은 농도의 염분에 적응한 듯하나 연구시작과 종료시의 paired t-test에서 통계적 유의성은 없었다. 기호도는 시작 시에는 두 군 모두 0.5% 염분 용액을 가장 선호했고 연구 종료시 대조군은 0.75%와 0.5% 염분 용액에 비슷한 기호도를 보인 반면 실험군은 0.5%, 그 다음으로 0.3% 용액에 높은 기호도를 보였으나 그 변화가 유의적 수준은 아니었다. 3) 최적 염미 나트륨 농도는 실험군에서 105.6 mmol에서 저염식 적응 후 80.7 mmol로 유의적 (p = 0.015) 감소를 보였고 대조군은 변화가 없었다. 뇨 나트륨 배설량은 대조군은 연구 시작과 종료시 차이가 없었고 실험군은 연구 종료시 1,398 mg에서 906 mg으로 유의적 감소를 하였다. 4) 수축기 혈압은 실험군 대상자에서 111 mmHg에서 106 mmHg로 유의적으로 감소하였고 이완기 혈압은 대조군, 실험군 모두에서 유의적으로 감소하였다. 혈압과 뇨 나트륨 배설량은 상관관계를 나타내지 않았다. 5) 최적 염미 나트륨 농도와 뇨 나트륨 배설량은 양의 상관관계 (r = 0.418)을 보여 짠맛에 대한 기호가 나트륨 섭취량에 영향을 미친 것으로 보인다. 최적 염미 나트륨 농도와 뇨 나트륨 배설량은 0.5% 이하의 낮은 염분 용액에 대한 짠 맛의 인지와는 음의 상관관계 (r = -0.338~-0.399)를 보여 저염식을 하는 대상자는 낮은 염도에도 잘 반응함을 보여 주었다. 본 연구의 대상자들은 6개월 간의 실험 경과 후 최적 염미도와 뇨 중 나트륨 배설량에서는 대조군과 실험군의 차이가 분명하였고 관능검사 결과는 0.5% 이하의 저염 농도에 실험군 대상자들이 짠 맛 인지와 기호도가 유의적이지는 않으나 향상하였다. 혈압은 수축기 혈압이 실험군에서만 유의적으로 감소하여 전반적으로 6개월 간의 저염식 적응이 유효한 듯하다. 그러나 본 연구결과만으로는 저염식에 적응해 가는 변화과정을 알 수 없고 분석 자료의 표준편차로 보아 개인차 커 일부 비적응자가 있었음을 알 수 있다. 앞으로 저염 적응 기간 중 개인별 반응과 함께 여러 시점에서의 관찰이 필요하다고 본다.

This study examined elementary school students' perceptions and acceptances related to kimchi in Jecheon area. This study examined with 388 elementary school students. Demographic characteristics of subjects, perceptions and acceptances related to kimchi were surveyed by self-developed questionnaires. Exactly 54.1% of subjects ate kimchi more than once per day, whereas 2.8% of subjects never ate kimchi. With regard to location, the home showed the highest percentage. Exactly 94.3% of respondents answered that eating kimchi was good for health. For acceptance, 86.9% of respondents answered that they liked kimchi. Reasons for liking kimchi were texture and special taste in order, whereas the most common reason for disliking was spicy taste. Baechu-kimchi (Chinese cabbage kimchi) was highly preferred, whereas pa-kimchi (green onion kimchi) was not. Subjects with an extended family preferred oisobagi (cucumber kimchi). There were significant differences between the groups with balanced dietary habits and unbalanced dietary habits in terms of acceptance for chonggak-kimchi (small radish kimchi), yeolmu-kimchi, kkadugi, mulkimchi (watery kimchi) and oisobagi. Elementary school students in Jecheon area recognized the importance and necessity of kimchi in Korean meals. Exactly 23.7% answered spicy taste as the reason for liking reason while 37.3% answered spicy taste as the reason for disliking. These results suggest that various kinds of kimchi need to be developed for elementary students with different levels of spiciness in addition to continuous nutrition education about balanced dietary behaviors at school and home.

Differential bitterness perception associated with genetic polymorphism in the bitter taste receptor gene taste 2 receptor member 38 (TAS2R38) may influence an individual's food preferences, nutrition consumption, and eventually chronic nutrition-related disorders including cardiovascular disease. Therefore, the effect of genetic variations on nutritional intake and clinical markers needs to be elaborated for health and disease prevention. In this study, we conducted sex-stratified analysis to examine the association between genetic variant TAS2R38 rs10246939 A > G with daily nutritional intake, blood pressure, and lipid parameters in Korean adults (males = 1,311 and females = 2,191). We used the data from the Multi Rural Communities Cohort, Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study. Findings suggested that the genetic variant TAS2R38 rs10246939 was associated with dietary intake of micronutrients including calcium (adjusted p = 0.007), phosphorous (adjusted p = 0.016), potassium (adjusted p = 0.022), vitamin C (adjusted p = 0.009), and vitamin E (adjusted p = 0.005) in females. However, this genetic variant did not influence blood glucose, lipid profile parameters, and other blood pressure markers. These may suggest that this genetic variation is associated with nutritional intake, but its clinical effect was not found. More studies are needed to explore whether TAS2R38 genotype may be a potential predictive marker for the risk of metabolic diseases via modulation of dietary intake.
