15 vegetables were cooked as fresh salad, scalding, steaming, boiling, panbroiling, and hardboiling and retention of vitamin(A, Ascorbic acid, Niacin) and minerals(P, Fe, Mg, Ca, Na, K)were investigated about those cooks during making process. Vitamins were shown as the best retention in fresh salad, while as the worst retention in scalding vegetables.

In all vegetables cookings, the order of vegetables which had good retention of vitamins and minerals were doraji>perilla leaf, cabbage>k, radish, cucumber>chamchwi, lettuce> mungbean sprout>spinach, burdock, sedum>carrot, squash>soybean sprout>eggplant. Also Vit.A was kept high retention level in fresh salad, panbroiling, hardboiling, Niacin was remained in fresh salad, hardboiling, steaming, vegetables highly and AsA was kept high level in fresh salad only. And P in panbroiling, steaming, Fe in fresh salad, scalding, boiling, panbroiling, hardboiling, Mg in fresh salad, panbroiling, hardboiling, Ca in fresh salad, steaming, boiling, panbroiling, hardborling, Na in panbroiling, hardboiling and K in fresh salad pan, broiling, hardboiling were retained as high level.

We screened the methanol extracts from 133 plant species growing in Korea for antimicrobial activity against enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli 0157 : H7. Those are selected from three plant grouping ; traditional medicinal herbs, edible plants, and flowers. They were tested by disk diffusion assay. From evaluation of the inhibition zone diameter of microbial growth, we found that the flower extract of Rhododendron Schilpenbachii Max had the most significant antimicrobial activity against this bacteria. Extracts from most of the vegetables and plants did not show antimicrobial activity except for the leaves of Ginkgo biloba L. and seeds of Prunus Dallicina L. did not show antimicrobial activity except for the leaves of Ginkgo biloba L. and the seeds of Prunus sallicina L.

One hundred twenty healthy college students and housewives from urban middle income household were investigated in terms of food consumption patterns, nutrient intake and dietary fiber intake. Total food intake was slightly lower in college students(1059.9g/d) than in housewives(1160.g/d) . However, the ration of animal food to total food was considerably higher in college students(23.7%) than in housewives(16.8%). College students tended to consume more dairly products, meat & products, and cereals & grain products but less vegetables , fruits, fish and shellfish than housewives. Although nutrient intake was not much different (except for total calories, fats, and ascorbic acid), dietary fiber intake was slightly and significantly lower in college students(14.9g/d, 8.3g/1000kcal) than in housewives(16.9g/d, 103g/1000kcal) . That is partially due to college students irregular food habits and the change in their meal patterns from traditional to western diets.

The purpose of the paper is to explore the current knowledge on the nutritional evaluation, cholesterol-lowering effect and antitumor activity of kimchi and its ingredients(Korean cabbage, garlic, red pepper powder, ginger and onion). Kimchi contains high contents of nutrients such as vitamins(ascorbic acid, $\beta$-carotene and vitamin B complex), minerals(calcium, potassium, iron and phosphorous), essential amino acids and dietary fiber. Kimch also contains high levels of lactic acid bacteria, allicin, capsaicin, organic acid, phenol compounds, flavonoid and sulfur compounds. The dietary fiber and lactic acid bacteria isolated from kimchi are effective in improving intestinal microflora of human. Isoluble dietary fiber shows anticancer activity, but soluble dietary fiber shows hypocholesterolemic effect. Lactic acid bacteria isolated from kimchi acts as a hypocholesterolemic or anticancer agent. A major ingredient of kimchi is mainly cruciferous and allium family vegetables, which were also reported to prevent cancer and atherosclerosis.
