Korean dairy industry is placed on the very critical situation with the progress of free trade marketing system internationally. To keep and improve the dairy food market, better measures are imperative for dairy industry. Especially, the milk distribution system is premodern to some extent, in comparison with both the production and the processing part of dairy industry. Reform measures for the promotion of domestic milk consumption by lowering the distribution cost are as follows. First, out-sourcing of the logistics department can decrease the circulation cost of milk. Secondly, milk should be packed into large-size package(more than 1 liter) to save both package and distribution cost. Thirdly, milk should be distributed from plant to consumers through the hygienic distribution system including perfect cold chain system, Above reform measures can not come true through the efforts taken by one company but through co-worker, concerted research, and joint in-vestment among dairy companies that can reduce the distribution cost and provide consumers with the best service, eventually resulting in the increment of milk consumption.

Food spoilage by fungi is responsible for considerable food waste and economical losses. Among the food products, fermented dairy products are susceptible to deterioration due to the growth of fungi, which are resistant to low pH and can proliferate at low storage temperatures. For controlling fungal growth in dairy products, potassium sorbate and natamycin are the main preservatives used, and natamycin is approved by most countries for use in cheese surface treatment. However, a strong societal demand for less processed and preservative-free food has emerged. In the dairy products, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are naturally present or used as cultures and play a key role in the fermentation process. Fermentation is a natural preservation technique that improves food safety, nutritional value, and specific organoleptic features. Production of organic acids is one of the main features of the LAB used for outcompeting organisms that cause spoilage, although other mechanisms such as antifungal peptides obtained from the cleavage of food proteins and competition for nutrients also play a role. More studies for better understanding these mechanisms are required to increase antifungal LAB available in the market.

Processes that products we consume that contain dairy foods comprise planning → design → production → quality/suitability assessment → safety verification → launch → distribution → consumption. Analysis of nutrients and potential toxins at each stage in the production process is essential to verify food quality, suitability, and safety. Products display ingredient lists and nutrient content to help consumers choose healthy foods. These products should also be fully assessed for microbes and toxins before reaching consumers. Products require verification through test inspections. However, this step has reduced value from a food manufacturer's viewpoint, because it does not visibly impact real economic trends. The most important first step in determining the quality and suitability of products is the inspection capability of food companies.

With the starting of Uruguay Round(UR) and World Trade Organization(WTO), the direction of trade in world market has been setting up with the beginning of an opening age. However, world nations has been expressed a deep concern on the marketing and the circulations of unsafe foods, especially in the international trade of food products. Therefore, administration of most countries are taking a firm step on the safety of imported food products. The implementation of hazard analysis critical control point(HACCP) system in food industry is strongly appeared on the world stage at this point. Major international organizations, such as WHO, WTO, and EC have been recognized the importance of HACCP and already documented on their future plan for standardization of food safety in the international trade of food products by means of the this system. Several advanced countries have already developed HACCP system for the food industry and have been producing food products under this system. Now they have proposed rulemakings on a mandatory HACCP program in the production of domestic and imported food products. However, with the lacking of knowledge and information on the HACCP, there has been no actions for applying this system in the food industry of Korea. It is a very clear fact that Korean dairy and food industry will be faced on serious problems in exporting food products without applying HACCP system in the very near future. The objective of this article is to introduce the world trend. necessity, and application of HACCP system in food and dairy industry. Also a HACCP system developed by one dairy processing plant in Europe will be demonstrated as a moldel system.

The dairy industry, as part of the broader agricultural sector, is classified as a basic industry to the Korea economy. Basic industries provide income to a region by producing an output, purchasing production inputs, services and labor. An integrated, multidisciplinary approach for the next generation of dairy products with added health benefits represent the direct economic contribution. The commercialization of "nutritional" functional foods can only be successful if the consumer is confident in the scientific validity of the claims. Modern biotechnologies such as genomics, genetic expression and biomarkers of health performance suggested to whole dairy products, such as fluid milk, butter, cheese, ice cream and frozen dessert products (German, 1999). The following definition makes the point that dairy products can provide a nutritional value beyond the basic nutritional requirements: 1) The dairy industry has the opportunity to improve the health and well-being of its customers and/or to reduce their risk of disease through dairy products with added activities. 2) Functional dairy products are those that can be demonstrated to benefit target functions in the body in a way that improves the state of health and /or reduces the risk of disease. They are food products that are consumed as part of a normal diet rather than pills or supplements. 3) Dairy products based on functionality will need to link the scientific basis of such functionality to the communication of its benefit to the general public. 4) Both the efficacy and the safety of the food components with health benefits will require evidence based on the measurement of scientific biomarkers relevant to their biological responses and health end points. 5) Sound evidence from human studies based on intermediate health end points using accepted biomarkers will provide the basis for promotional messages divided into two categories-enhanced function and reduced risk of disease. 6) Success in solving key scientific and technological challenges will only be achieved by interdisciplinary research programs to exploit the scientific concepts in functional dairy science.

The consumption of natural cheese in Korea has dramatically increased since 1997. However, most of the cheeses consumed in Korea are imported. Thus, surplus milk has accumulated in Korea. To solve this problem, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs established a policy to create a farmstead dairy industry. Although the law governing the industry was established in 2016, food safety guidelines have not been prepared. Milk and cheese are prone to contamination with mycotoxins such as aflatoxin M1 and ochratoxin A, antibiotic residues such as penicillin and tetracycline, and pathogenic bacteria including Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli, Salmonella, and Staphylococcus aureus. L. monocytogenes infections have a very high mortality rate; hence, special attention should be paid to preventing contamination of milk and cheese with this organism. To ensure the microbiological safety of farmstead dairy products, the HACCP model has been used. However, this model is not suitable for current processing environments of farmstead dairy products because of the small size of the operations. In addition, scientific data on the microbiological safety of farmstead dairy product are limited and are urgently needed.

To assess riboflavin status by dietary intake and urinary excretion of preschool children in Busan and to evaluate the relationship of intakes of food and nutrient with urinary riboflavin excretion, riboflavin food frequencies of 40 common foods affecting intakes of riboflavin by food fequency method, nutrient intake by 24hr recall and 24hr urinary riboflavin excretion were measured with 97 preschool children. The mean riboflavin intake was 0.90 mg and above RDA. Dairy group was the primary source of riboflavin intake and provided 44.8% of the total daily riboflavin intake. The mean urinary riboflavin excretion and riboflavin excretion per gram of creatinine were 395.21$\mu\textrm{g}$ and 2110.41$\mu\textrm{g}$ respectively, The mean riboflavin intake (p<0.01, p<0.01), riboflavin density (p <0.001, p<0.001) and urinary riboflavin excretion per gram of creatinine (p<0.05, p<0.05) were significantly low with the two patterns of food group intake where dairy group was omitted (GMVFDS = 111101, consuming no dairy group and GMVFDS=l11001, consuming no fruit and dairy groups). On the basis of urinary riboflavin excretion per gram of creatinine, 14.3% of subjects in the group aged 1 to 3 and 18.2% of subjects in the group aged 4 to 6 were at risk of deficiency respectively. The urinary riboflavin excretion per gram of creatinine showed positive significant correlations with usual intakes of riboflavin from food groups of dairy (p<0.05), meat (p<0.05) and animal (p<0.05). So nutritional education is needed in order to consume dairy food group daily and to increase usual intake of animal food group including meat.(Korean J Nutrition 35(9) : 970~981, 2002)

The antimicrobial activity of the ethanol extract of Hibiscus sabdariffa L. (Roselle) powder against various food-borne pathogens was tested using the lawn diffusion assay. The results showed that the ethanol extract exhibited antimicrobial activities against Staphylococcus aureus (total inhibition), Salmonella enteritidis (partial inhibition), Listeria monocytogenes (partial inhibition), Escherichia coli (partial inhibition), Cronobacter sakazakii (partial inhibition), and Bacillus cereus (partial inhibition). Therefore, it is strongly recommended that Hibiscus sabdariffa L. (Roselle) should be considered for use as a natural food-grade additive for the inhibition of various food-borne pathogens, including both gram-positive and gram-negative pathogens, and the improvement of the overall quality of various dairy products, including milk.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Hypertriglyceridemia may be a more important predictor of cardiovascular disease in Asian population consuming carbohydrate-rich foods than in Western populations. Dairy products are known to play a beneficial role in obesity, dyslipidemia, and metabolic syndrome, but the results vary depending on gender and obesity. In this study, we investigated the associations between dairy product intake and hypertriglyceridemia in Korean adults. SUBJECTS/METHODS: The participants were selected from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2007-2012 (KNHANES IV and V). A total of 22,836 participants aged 19-64 years were included in the analysis. A food frequency questionnaire used to determine the frequency of consumption of products (milk and yogurt). Multivariable logistic regression was used to assess the associations between dairy product intake and hypertriglyceridemia. RESULTS: A significantly decreased risk of hypertriglyceridemia was detected in the highest dairy product intake frequency group (≥ 1 time/day) (odd ratio [OR] = 0.79; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.64-0.97, P for trend = 0.022) compared to that for the lowest dairy product intake frequency group. Among obese participants, the group with the highest intakes of milk (in men, OR = 0.64; 95% CI: 0.46-0.91, P for trend = 0.036) and yogurt (in women; OR = 0.53; 95% CI: 0.29-0.94, P for trend = 0.019) showed inverse associations with hypertriglyceridemia. No associations were detected in normal weight participants. CONCLUSION: The association between dairy product intake and hypertriglyceridemia differed by gender and obesity status. Further prospective studies are needed to confirm these associations.
