Background: Pulmonary paragonimiasis is caused by consumption of raw or improperly cooked crabs infected by a laval stage (metacercaris) of the parasite. In our country it had been a highly prevalent endemic disease until th late 1960s, and after then it's prevalence has been markedly decreased. But because some people have continued to ingest undercooked crabs, this disease have yet occured sporadically. Methods: We reviewed the clinical and radiological findings retrospectively in seventy-four patients of pulmonary paragonimiasis including familial infestation in 7 familes (20 cases) who were confirmed by food history, clinical and radiological findings, and labaratory data. Results: The male: female ratio was 2.2:1 and most prevalent age was 40-49 years old. Twen6ty nine patients (39%) had ova-positive infection. The detection sites were sputum (48%), pleural fluid (17%), fine needle aspiration biopsy of nodular or cystic lesion (17%), pleural biopsy (7%), skin nodule biopsy (7%), and stool (3%). The patients had pulmonary symptoms in 63 cases (85%) but 9 cases did not have any symptoms. The 53 cases (72%) had abnormal radiological findings in lung parenchyme (75%) and pleura (63%). However 21 cases (28%) showed no specific findings in their chest X-ray. Serum titers (ELISA) of specific IgG for paragonimiasis in 13 cases were followed for average 9.8 months after treatment, which showed slow decreasement. In the evaluation of family member (7 family, 20 cases), all members having the common dietary history together with a proven patients were confirmed this disease by serological test, regardless of the presence or the abscence of clinical or radilogical symptoms. Conclusion: We evaluated the clinical and radiological findings in 74 cases of pulmonary paragonimiasis including 7 family members who had a history of ingestion of improperly cooked crabs together with patients. The paients of pulmonary paragonimiasis have various findings in clinical and radiological findings. Common diet exposure history and laboratory findings including specific IgG were important in earlier diagnosing and treating in family members of patients.

This study investigated the effect of olive oil substitution ratio on physicochemical quality of pork patty. Five treatments were performed as follows: control (T0, 20% pork fat), T1 (pork fat 15% and olive oil gel 5%), T2 (pork fat 10% and olive oil gel 10%), T3 (pork fat 5% and olive oil gel 15%), and T4 (olive oil gel 20%). The moisture increased and fat amount was decreased in proportion to olive oil substitution ratio. The L^* and a^* values were highest levels in raw and cooked pork patty of T0, and the b^* value was highly enhanced in of cooked pork patty of T4. The water holding capacity, moisture and fat retention were significantly increased, and the cooking loss, diameter reduction and shrinkage ratio were decreased by olive oil substitution ratio. The hardness, springiness and chewiness showed the highest level in T4, and the cohesiveness and gumminess were highest in T0. The reduction ratio of cholesterol in T1, T2, T3 and T4 were 13.8%, 21.6%, 34.5% and 49.0%, respectively, indicating that the content was lowest level in T4. The palmitic acid was the most abundant saturated fatty acid, and the oleic acid was the most abundant unsaturated fatty acid. The unsaturated fatty acid of pork patty was increased in proportion to olive oil substitution ratio. Therefore, the olive oil gel substitution of low-fat pork patty results in a positive effect on the physicochemical qualities due to reduced cholesterol and saturated fatty acids.

The nutritional, physicochemical and sensory quality characteristics of chilled loins of Jeju Black Cattle, Hanwoo and imported Australian beef were compared. For nutritional properties, moisture and crude protein contents of Jeju Black Cattle beef were 65.91% and 17.39% respectively, the lowest among the comparison groups. On the other hand, their crude fat and crude ash contents were 15.89% and 0.79%, respectively, the highest among the comparison groups. There was a significant difference in crude ash content, but there was no significant difference in the other properties. The Fe and Zn contents of Jeju Black Cattle beef were 29.85 and 48.13 ppm, respectively, lower than those of Hanwoo beef, although the difference was not significant. These values were higher than those of Australian beef (p<0.05). There was no significant difference among the samples in contents of Ca, P, Na and Cu. The total amino acid and essential amino acid contents of Jeju Black Cattle beef were 16.81% and 9.08%, respectively, the lowest among the samples, although the difference was not significant. The ratio of essential amino acids to total amino acids of Jeju Black Cattle beef was 54.01%, the highest among the samples. The saturated fatty acid (43.25%), stearic acid (13.51%), linoleic acid (2.39%) and essential fatty acid (2.47%) contents of Jeju Black Cattle beef were the lowest. However, their unsaturated fatty acid (56.69%), oleic acid (47.80%) and MUFA/SFA ratios were the highest, and there were significant differences compared with Australian beef. There was no significant difference in the PUFA/SFA ratio. Among physicochemical properties, redness ($a^*$) of Jeju Black Cattle beef was the highest while melting point was the lowest (p<0.05). There were no significant differences in lightness ($L^*$), yellowness ($b^*$), pH, water holding capacity, cooking loss or shear force value. For sensory properties, raw meat aroma, cooked meat aroma and palatability of Jeju Black Cattle beef were superior compared to other comparison groups, with significant differences in comparison with Australian beef (p<0.05). However, there were no significant differences in taste, juiciness, or tenderness of cooked meat.

This study was conducted to investigate nutritional knowledge related to breakfast and dietary behavior of elementary school students by gender and skipping breakfast. The subjects of this study were the 6th grade elementary school students (Total 237; 119 males and 118 females) in Daejeon. The group who ate breakfast six to seven times per week was 58.6%; The group who ate breakfast zero to five times per week was 41.4%. Most of subjects' families (84.4%) were 'nuclear family' and 63.8% of mothers held jobs. There was a significant difference between family income and skipping breakfast. As for the type of breakfast, 79.0% of the male students and 81.4% of female students answered 'cooked rice' and the reasons for skipping breakfast were 'no appetite' followed by 'not enough time', 'over sleeping'. In the eating breakfast group, frequency of having breakfast with family was higher compared to the skipping breakfast group. Total scores of nutritional knowledge related to breakfast in the female students were significantly higher than those of the male students. Also significant differences were found on such questions as 'the relation between eating breakfast and body weight control' and 'importance of breakfast' by skipping breakfast. The dietary behavior scores of the group who ate breakfast were higher than those of the group who skipped breakfast. Therefore, a need exists to develop and distribute a simple breakfast menu that contains Korean-style food and can be more appetizing and appealing to Korean elementary school students. Also it is necessary to develop a systemic awareness program that emphasize the importance of breakfast and the harmfulness of skipping breakfast.

This experiment was conducted to research the effects of Yellow Clay(YC) on the sensory evaluation of cooked meat in broiler chicks. A total of 216 one day old broiler chicks were divided into 6 groups at random. The six groups are consisted of one control group, to which no YC was added, and 5 groups to which an amount of YC was differently added. Diets contained 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0 and 8.0% of YC and fed to the 5 group broilers for 6 weeks. The lightness of meat in the broilers treated with YC was significantly higher than that of the control group in after-cooking(P<0.05). Besides, the lightness of meat was higher after-cooking than before-cooking. The properties of hardness, gumminess and chewiness were significantly lowered in the groups treated with Yellow Clay, as the amount of Yellow Clay increased at before-cooking and after-cooking(P<0.05). The turbidity of stock was higher in the groups treated with Yellow Clay as the percentage level of Yellow Clay increased, compared with the control group(P<0.05). The acceptability of color, flavor, and texture of meat and stock was higher in the groups treated with Yellow Clay, when compared with that of the control group(P<0.05). In total, the group treated with the 4 percentage of Yellow Clay was the highest in the overall preference(P<0.05).

This study was conducted to evaluate the physicochemical properties of pork loin marinated with a solution of Nan and sodium tripolyphosphate, and the sensory attributes of tomato sauce-stewed products using marinated loin. Pork loin samples were cut $(3{\times}3{\times}2cm)$ and assigned to 3 treatment groups [C; unmarinated control (100% distilled water), T1; 10% sodium chloride, T2; 10% sodium chloride + 3% sodium tripolyphosphate]. Samples were marinated for 24hr at $5^{\circ}C$. The uptake of marinade in the treatment groups was significantly greater (p<0.05) than that of C, however no significant difference between the two treatments was observed. Cooking losses were highest (p<0.05) for T1, while lowest (p<0.05) for T2. All marinated loins had a significantly higher (p<0.05) yield than the control. The pH of the marinade solution ranged from 7.00 for T1 to 8.47 for T2. The two marinated loins had a significantly higher (p<0.05) $pH_{24}$ than the control. The water holding capacity (WHC) was highest for T2, and lowest for T1. CIE $L^*,\;a^*,\;b^*$ tended to be slightly higher in the control than either treatment group. The shear force value $(kg/cm^2)$ of yaw meat did not differ between the control and marinated muscle samples. However, cooked meat had a significantly lower (p<0.05) shear force value in T2 than C and T1. Hardness values were significantly lower (p<0.05) for both treatments compared with the control. There were no differences in texture profile, except hardness, between the control and the two treatments. Regarding the sensory evaluation of tomato sauce-stewed products manufactured with marinated pork loin, the treatment groups scored marginally well in tenderness, juiciness and overall acceptability, while the flavor score of the control was significantly higher than those of T1 and T2.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the patients' satisfaction with the quality of hospital food service in Busan area. For the purpose, questionnaires were distributed to 271 hospitalized patients in 4 hospitals (three hospitals for self-operated foodservice, one for contracted foodservice) within 130 beds. The average scores were -0.99/5.00 for quality satisfaction of meal characteristics, -0.68/5.00 for service characteristics, and -0.37/5.00 for nutrition characteristics. The items of low scores in quality satisfaction were treatment of complaints, nutrition of meals, provision of nutritional information, the seasoning of the meals, selective menu, and sanitation of the meals. At the expectation and perception grid, high expectation and high perception items were cleanliness of employees' clothes, cleanliness of dish, employees' courtesy, exactness of meal time, and sanitation of the meals. High expectation and low perception items were treatment of complaints and nutrition. The patients with little appetite showed significantly (p<0.01) lower average scores in meal, service, and nutrition characteristics than those with much appetite. The self-operated foodservice operation had significantly (p<0.01) higher average scores in meal, service, and nutrition characteristics than those of the contracted foodservice operation. The patients hoped to improve the taste of cooked rice and side dish, quantity of the side dish, variety of menu, and sanitation of the meals.

We aimed to analyze the microbiological quality of the ready-to-eat (RTE) side dishes collected from traditional markets, supermarkets, and cafeterias in Gyeonggi-do in 2019. A total of 108 samples were analyzed for total aerobic bacterial counts, coliforms and foodborne pathogens depending on place of purchase and cooking methods. Results show that Bacillus cereus was detected in 14 (12.9%) out of 108 samples of side dishes, while no other foodborne pathogens were detected. The mean detected level (range) of total aerobic bacteria depending on place of purchase was 5.8 log CFU/g (3.0 to 8.2 log CFU/g) for traditional markets, 4.3 log CFU/g (2.4 to 7.8 log CFU/g) for supermarkets, and 3.80 log CFU/g (0.0 to 6.8 log CFU/g) for cafeterias, indicating that there was a significant (P<0.05) difference in total aerobic bacterial counts among places of purchase. Among the samples, the highest counts of total aerobic bacteria and coliforms were detected in saengchae (raw vegetables), followed by namul (seasoned herbs, vegetables), bokkeum (stir-fried foods), and jorim (foods cooked in soy sauce). The growth of total aerobic bacteria in seasoned soybean sprouts was inhibited when the sprouts were stored at 4℃ up to 24 h, whereas bacteria rapidly grew at 20 and 35℃ after 3 and 6 h, respectively. These results reveal that storage temperature might play a significant role for the microbiological quality of seasoned soybean sprouts when they are sold in markets. Thus, this study suggests that RTE side dishes should be stored at refrigerated temperature when being sold at markets as well as after purchasing to improve their microbiological quality.
