The purpose of this study was to compare the status of sanitation education and sanitation knowledge in school foodservice with commercial foodservice. The survey sample was institutional foodservice directors (n = 88) in A office of education and commercial foodservice directors (n = 81) in B foodservice industry. The questionnaire requested information about demographic information, situation of sanitation education, contents of sanitation education practice, importance of sanitation education, and sanitation knowledge. Data were analyzed using frequencies, means, chi-square test, and t-test. Over half (52.1%) of the respondents were institutional foodservice directors, 47.9% of the respondents were commercial foodservice directors. The majority of institutional foodservice directors were 25-29 years of age (38.6%), over 10 years of working experience (63.6%) and commercial foodservice directors were 25-29 years of age (53.1%), 5-10 years of working experience (35.0%). 66.3% of the respondents were educated food safety once a month, but 8.6% of commercial foodservices were never educated. The majority of the respondents used printing materials (73.3%) or lecture (74.8%). The importance level of institutional foodservice directors about sanitation education was significantly higher than commercial foodservice directors. The average score of institutional foodservice directors' sanitation knowledge was 87.05/100.00. The commercial foodservice directors' sanitation knowledge 67.74 was significantly lower than institutional foodservice directors (p < 0.05). Therefore, there should be a systematic education program designed for commercial foodservice directors.

The purpose of this study was to examine the work values of undergraduate-level foodservice major students. In order to assess work values of the participating students, this study adopted 'Maryland Work Values Inventory'. Data from a total of 290 surveys were collected. The participants consisted of 146 commercial foodservice major students and 144 institutional foodservice major students. Among the seven work values, both groups ranked 'job advancement' as the most important work value. Commercial foodservice major students rated 'altruism' as the least important work value, whereas it was 'stimulation' for institutional foodservice major students. 'Need for work' was evaluated statistically higher by junior and senior students compared to sophomore students of commercial foodservice major (p<0.05). In both foodservice majors, a positive relationship was found between work value scores and grade levels. All work value scores tended to be higher for students in higher grades. This tendency was especially statistically clear for the value 'need for work' for commercial foodservice major students and 'money and prestige' for institutional foodservice major students (p<0.05). There were some gaps in the work values between students with different career field choices. For the commercial foodservice majors, those interested in fine dining perceived 'satisfaction and accomplishment' and 'altruism' as more important [4.33 (p<0.05) and 4.05 (p<0.01), respectively] compared to students who had interests in fast food restaurants (4.06 and 3.67 respectively). Scores for 'satisfaction & accomplishment' (p<0.05), 'money & prestige' (p<0.001), and 'stimulation' (p<0.001) were significantly different among institutional foodservice major students. In addition, students more interested in industrial foodservice field regarded 'money & prestige' and 'stimulation' as less important as indicated by noticeably lower scores (3.74, 3.55 respectively) in comparison to the other group (p<0.001). The results of this study, which explored foodservice major students' work values, suggest that there is an increased need for the students to build up their work values as well as for the foodservice industry to offer appropriate work values to future foodservice employees.

The purpose of this research is to analyze what industry professionals and educators perceive as the definition of "research" and foodservice related-research so that the research become rather systematic and useful research. The research result is as follows. First, the independent t-test analysis of the definitions of research showed that the industry professionals were recognizing it as "investigations that are directed toward the discovery of new scientific knowledge that has specific commercial objectives with respect to products or processes or operation" while the educators were regarding it as "original investigation for the advancement of scientific knowledge that does not have a specific commercial objective." Second, the finding about the application of foodservice related-research to decision-making showed that the industry professionals did not fully utilize foodservice research and did not think it is applicable in the industry. That is because academic journal language is too hard for them to understand and they want to see research findings in industry shows and exhibitions or industry magazines in common understandable language. Lastly, foodservice researchers could initiate the dialog between themselves and industry professionals to diagnose the problems of the industry better and provide practical solutions through research findings.

The purpose of this study was to identify the attitudes of non-commercial foodservice dietitians toward hiring older workers who are over fifty-five years of age. Questionnaires were sent to 600 members of Korea Dietitians Association who are working in Seoul, Korea, Data from 233 usable responses were analyzed using the SAS package program. The study showed that dietitians do not have a favorable perception of hiring older workers. Dictitians responded older workers have more serious accidents than younger workers(under age 30). In addition, they think than older workers are harder to train, find it more difficult to adapt to adapt to new ways of working, and are slower in their work. On the positive side, the response did show that dietitians realize that older workers are not absent from work as frequently than younger workers and that they are more cooperate than younger workers. The data also showed that those dietitians who had more positive experience with older workers also perceive the workers in more positive way than those dietitians that have had a negative experience with older workers(p<0.001). Finally, dietitians who are working in industrial foodservice showed more positive attitudes toward older workers than the dietitians who are working in hospital and school foodservice(p<0.01).

The purposes of the study were to identify important attributes in foodservice management and culinary arts students' career decision-making and to investigate factors determining their preferred employment fields. A questionnaire that consisted of preferred employment fields, importance rating of 19 attributes related to job choices, and demographic information was developed based on a review of literature. A total of 319 students enrolled in food and nutrition, foodservice management, and culinary arts programs of eight 2-year colleges and 4-year universities in Seoul and Kyunggi Province participated in the survey. Data were analyzed using SPSS Win (version 10.0) with descriptive statistics, chi-square analysis, one-way analysis of variance, factor analysis, and discriminant analysis. Attributes of the highest importance scores included fringe benefits, wages and promotion opportunities, working environments, professional development opportunities, and organizational culturs. The students who preferred non-commercial foodservice as a career choice depended more on 'word-of-mouth from faculty' than those who preferred other fields (F=3.094, p < .05) and rated importance of 'participation in job fairs' higher than those who selected hotel food and beverage (F : 5.048, p < .01) . A factor analysis of the 19 attributes resulted in five factors: job/compensation policy, impersonal communication, company image, word-of-mouth, and personal experience. The five factors explained $67\%$ of the total variance. A discriminant analysis revealed that students who perceived 'impersonal communication' and 'word-of-mouth' more important were likely to prefer non-commercial foodservice as a career choice. The results would be used by university faculty in advising graduating students on career selection and by recruiters in developing effective and attractive recruiting programs.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Sustainable practices in foodservice organizations including commercial and noncommercial ones are critical to ensure the protection of the environment for the future. With the rapid growth of the foodservice industry, wiser usage of input sources such as food, utilities, and single use packaging should be reconsidered for future generations. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the customer's perceptions on sustainable practices and to identify the relationship among sustainable practices, social contribution and purchase intention. SUBJECTS/METHODS: The study was conducted using content analyses by reviewing articles on sustainable food service practices published domestically and abroad. Thereafter, data were collected with a face-to-face survey using a questionnaire and analyzed with factor analyses and multiple regressions. RESULTS: Sustainable practices classified with factor analysis consisted of 6 dimensions of green food material procurement, sustainable food preparation, green packaging, preservation of energy, waste management, and public relations on green activity, with a total of 25 green activities in foodservice operations. Consumers were not very familiar with the green activities implemented in the foodservice unit, with the lowest awareness of "green food material procurement (2.46 out of 5 points)", and the highest awareness of "green packaging (3.74)" and "waste management (3.28). The factors influencing the perception of social contribution by foodservice organizations among 6 sustainable practice dimensions were found to be public relations on green activity (${\beta}=0.154$), waste management (${\beta}=0.204$) and sustainable food preparation (${\beta}=0.183$). Green packaging (${\beta}=0.107$) and the social contribution of the foodservice organization (${\beta}=0.761$) had strong relationships with the image of the organization. The purchase intentions of customers was affected only by the foodservice image (${\beta}=0.775$). CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study suggest that sustainable practices by foodservice organization present a good image to customers and increase the awareness of valuable contributions that benefit the customer as well as the community.

The objective of this study was to standardize recipes for large quantity production for Korean foods such as Yukkaejang (spicy beef and vegetable soup), Sagol-woogeojitang (bone soup with young cabbage), Kalbitang (beef short-ribs soup) and Seolleongtang (beef and bone soup). We examined the ingredients and the amounts in recipes that were used by 3 groups such as foodservice management companies, commercial restaurants and cookbooks. We analyzed cooking methods from 5 foodservice management companies, 3 commercial restaurants and 2 kinds of cookbooks. Each soup that was made by a standardized recipe was evaluated by consumer sensory panels. The total yield volume and portions for 100 persons were determined as well as ingredients, weights and methods. The standardized recipes were as followed; yield volume after cooking was 38-40kg, optimum service temperature was 78-82$^{\circ}C$, preparation time was 4-16 hours for 100 persons, and one portion was 380-400g, and we recorded the weight of foods and methods, as well as reference and garnishes. We expect that the standardized recipes for large quantity production will be necessary for use by cooks as well as by food preparation in foodservice institutions.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the volatile compounds of Korean traditional gochujang from various districts. The volatiles from each traditional gochujang are being extracted by simultaneous steam distillation extraction (SDE), and analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Twenty compounds are identified as major volatile components which include 8 esters, 4 alcohols and 4 acids. The most traditional gochujang possesses more volatile components rather than commercial gochujang products. Most acids come from fatty acids and the alcohols derive from the oxidative degradation of linolenic acid. The most abundant volatile compounds for both traditional and commercial gochujang include 10 compounds such as 2-methyl-1-propanol, hexanal, 2-methyl-1-butanol, octanoic acid ethyl ester, as well as the various type of acids and esters. They represent most of the total GC peak areas, respectively. From the results, the characteristics of the flavors for traditional gochujang from each district are not clear but have shown various components than the commercial products.
