This study analyzes the satisfaction degree for menu quality of the regional cuisine in Gangwon province. The result of verifying hypotheses is as follows. For the satisfaction with the quality in direct services, it showed no similarity by education levels, locations, and income levels; however, there was a significant difference in satisfaction by gender, locations, and occupation. Males evaluated satisfaction with direct services higher than females, and Chun-Cheon and Sok-Cho residents felt more satisfied than Gang-Reung residents. By occupation, students and self-employed ones showed more satisfaction. For the satisfaction with indirect services, there was a significant difference in 1% of the similarity range by gender, locations, and occupation while no difference was shown in the other variables. Compared with the satisfaction with direct services, satisfaction with indirect services was low, which indicated the necessity of improving indirect services. Indirect services showed the same results of satisfaction by gender, locations, occupation as those of direct services. In particular, it showed high satisfaction among students.

In 2007, due to the outcome of the Korea-U.S. FTA negotiations, the opportunities for American beef greatly increased and a serious change in the domestic dining market is expected. The market currently faces issues such as the settlement of the beef origin declaration policy and the fulfillment of customer needs on domestic and imported beef. The following are the summary of the results of the aforementioned research and analysis. First, the consumer awareness level of origin declarations was comparatively low. Second, the reason behind the propensity for imported beef was the comparatively cheaper price despite the lower taste quality, and it was determined that there is a high level of distrust on domestic beef sold in general restaurants. Third, domestic beef showed a high valuation in taste, safety and freshness, while imported beef showed results which were below average. Concluding from the above research results, a dining environment should be created where consumers can trust what they eat through settlement of an origin declaration policy, and more efforts should be put into fulfilling consumer needs for both domestic and imported beef.

The purpose of this study was to determine the desirable mixture ratio of Cirsium setidens Nakai powder to rice flour for the preparation of Sulgidduk. The moisture of samples raged from 36.51% to 40.67%. The addition of Cirsium setidens Nakai powder in the Sulgidduk tended to decrease the lightness (L) in Hunter color value, but to increase the redness (a) and yellowness (b). With increasing Cirsium setidens Nakai powder level, the hardness, springness and chewiness of the samples increased and their cohesiveness decreased. In sensory evaluation, the addition of 5% Cirsium setidens Nakai powder showed the best score in taste and overall preference. Over 3 days of storage, Sulgidduk showed a slightly high total bacterial count compared to control. Therefore, these results suggested that the addition of 5% Cirsium setidens Nakai powder could be applied for making Cirsium setidens Nakai powder Sulgidduk.

We desperately recognize from the economic situation in IMF crisis that only competive goods and serviced. It is anticipated that this difficult situation will probably be continued till 1999. Therefore, it is necessary to think over real aspects of eating=outdoors in IMF period and to provide an opportunity to confront with this crisis. Analysis a recent tendency of domestic eating-outdoors business, there appears, first of all, dual types of eating-outdoors; the one is a sort of 'Cost Sale', which provides some special menu with lowest prices, and the other is a type of 'Family Restaurant', which regards the atmosphere of the place as one of the most essential elements. Both types are getting more popular today. As the result, neither of the alternative cannot recover the current Depression. It is natural that no other conditions can compete with good tastes, fancy atmosphere, and good prices. As a matter of fact, however, it is quite difficult to run this type of bussiness adjusted the above whole conditions. Therefore owners of eating-house must decide to run either ' Cost Sale' or 'Family Restaurant' first and investigate some problems and conditions accordingly. In ane way, the owner intensively visits to some eating houses which is similar style in size and management to that of his style in size and management to that of his and look over what is good and what is bad Right after this investigation, it is efficient for he or she to improve his or her business style in size and management in a short period. It is helpful to check some complements; improvement of signboards, cleaning up of the interior, selecting suitable menu, adjusted prices, tastes, and service quality etc. Although eating-outdoors business is hard hit by IMF, We hope that it would rapidly be brisk in 2000, becaused by that time the basis of each industry would be high qualified, and rich technology would be accumulated.

In this study, the quality characteristics of different drying methods of Cirsium setidens Nakai, which contains large amounts of biological substances, were investigated for the improvement of their practical use. During the drying period, the weight reduction was the highest with hot-air drying(82.7%). As for the general component and mineral contents analysis results of Cirsium setidens Nakai, there were no significant difference. Cyclic low pressure drying resulted highest amount of total phenolic components and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). Hence, cyclic low pressure drying method is the best method for enhancing antioxidant activity of Cirsium setidens Nakai.

This study was to investigate consumers' recognition, preference, and use condition of processed food of Prunus mume(PFPM). As for the general recognition of Prunus mume, as the age is higher, and as the group of manufacture and intake has a higher level of academic attainments, the level of recognition is high. The group that manufactures and takes in PFPM at home showed high preference for Prunus mume processed food, and significant differences were shown among groups in this regard. The group of higher age and academic attainment level and those who manufactured Prunus mume at home showed high intake frequency of PFPM. 88.7% of the all respondents said that they had had Prunus mume products such as Prunus mume alcoholic beverage(76.3%), undiluted solution of Prunus mume(74.9%), Prunus mume tea(60.1%), and Prunus mume Jjangajji, or sliced vegetables preserved in soy sauce or hot pepper paste(46.3%). The rates of intake experience on another PFPM were relatively very low, and PFPM consumers in Daegu and Gyeongbuk areas were very limited. As for the prospect of Prunus mume processed food consumption, 48.8% and 46.7% of the respondents expected that it would remain in the current condition and would increase respectively. Moreover, 62.8% of the respondents said that they would purchase new PFPM satisfying such requirements above, which suggests that producing new PFPM is very positive.

Flos Sophora japonica L. (Leguminosae), commonly called scholar tree, is a well-known traditional medicine used for the treatment of bleeding and as an antihemorrhagic agent. This research was conducted to determine biofunctional activities of Flos Sophora japonica extract. Methanolic extract from Flos Sophora japonica was partitioned by using organic solvents, including n-hexane, ethyl acetate, n-butanol, and water. Ethyl acetate soluble fraction showed the strongest antioxidant activity ($RC_{50}=3.13{\mu}g/mL$) among the fractions. In antimicrobial activity assays, ethyl acetate soluble fraction was effective to bacterial inhibition, such as Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumonia, with minimum inhibitory concentrations in $125{\mu}g/mL$. In anticomplementary activity assays, water soluble fraction was the most effective exhibiting 21% inhibitory activity.

The aim of this study was to establish the superiority of ohmic heating over conventional heating for the sterilization of mulberry juice. Heat treatment of fresh juice significantly reduced the concentration of soluble solids, lowered the pH, and lowered the reducing sugar content (p<0.01). Color measurements showed decreases in the L and a values and increases in the b, H and C values after heat treatment, although the total color differences were smaller after ohmic heating than after conventional heating of fresh juice. The antioxidant capacities, such as reducing power, FRAP, and DPPH, decreased in the order of fresh juice, ohmically heated juice and conventionally heated juice. Furthermore, the anthocyanin, flovonoid, and total antioxidant capacities of the juices significantly decreased in the same order. Sensory evaluations showed no difference between fresh and ohmically heated mulberry fruit juice excluding off-flavor, whereas conventionally heated juice received significantly lower evaluations. The microbial counts were zero in the juice after either heat treatment. Thus, ohmic heat treatment can be effectively used to sterilize fresh mulberry juice to obtain good shelf life with minimal physicochemical, color, antioxidant and sensory deterioration.
