The purpose of this pilot study was to examine the feasibility of using digital pictures to assess individuals' nutrient intakes from school lunch. The subjects for the study were 29 male students and 40 female students from two classes in a middle school located in Daejeon Metropolitan City, Korea. The school lunch service was self-operated and the students were allowed to portion the foods by themselves. The teacher in charge of each class took digital pictures of every student's lunch plate that was tagged with an i.d. number, before and after eating for two consecutive days. The researchers estimated the amount of food, which an individual actually consumed by comparing pre- and post-pictures of their plate with reference food pictures for better visual estimation of the food amounts. Individual energy and nutrient intakes were calculated using CAN-Pro (ver 3.0) using the food intake data visually estimated from the digital pictures and school lunch recipes. The teachers in charge reported that about 10~15 additional minutes were needed to take the pictures used for the study and this additional time did not place much burden on the service process during the lunch period. The results showed that the students' actual energy and nutrient intakes from the same school lunch menus were quite varied as the serving portions were not regulated and left-overs were not prohibited. This pilot study suggests that examination of individual nutrient intake using digital picture is a feasible method in the context of school lunch service.

The sound dietary habit is formed in childhood, which is basic foundation for keeping health. The school foodservice is practiced to provide proper nutritions, to establish the sound dietary habit. Continuous evaluation and improvement are necessary to operate school foodservice effectively. This study was conducted to evaluate the quality of meals served in elementary school based on nutrient content, food diversity. A questionnaire was mailed to dietitian of each school requested for menus of one week. Menus served in 77 schools from each province and major cities in Korea were analyzed. The results of this study were summarized as follows; Compared to 1/3 of RDA for children, many schools provide lower amounts of energy, calcium and Vitamin A. Proportions of energy from carbohydrate, protein and fat were 59.64%, 17.43% and 20.11%, respectively and were not significantly different by the area, the foodservice system, and the number of persons served. NAR(nutrient adequacy ratio) were lowest for calcium(0.67) and Vitamin A(0.65). MAR(mean adequacy ratio) was 0.83. The results of comparison of NAR and MAR by the area, the foodservice system, and the number of persons served were similar to those of nutrient contents. Comparing foods served by the nutrient density were different by nutrient contents, NAR and MAR. Mean nutrient density per meal were higher in large cities than in small cities and rural area, in conventional than in commissary foodservice system. Mean number of dishes and food items per meal were 5.86 and 19.87, respectively. The mean of total quantity of each food group per meal was 352g. The mean of total quantity of each food group per meal were higher in small cities and rural area than in large cities, in commissary than in conventional foodservice system. This study is based only on served menus, and the evaluations of meals based on actual consumption of children are needed. These results suggest that in order to improve the quality of school food service, realistic standard should be suggested and basic study should be done continuously.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the practice of nutrition education and perceptions for implementing nutrition education in elementary schools. In this survey, 833 dietitians, 808 principals and 3,141 teachers across the country were asked about the present status and problems as well as necessity, methods, education time, education subjects and the proper nutrition educator ratio. The results of the survey showed that only 4.2% of dietitians implemented nutrition education during regular school hours or through special activities. Many subjects responded that the reasons for not practicing nutrition education were systematic problems of lack of time due to too much food service work. Especially, many rural area dietitians responded that the reason was lack of time due to joint management and cooking. Many dietitians, principals and teachers responded that the placement of one nutrition teacher in every school is needed to resolve these problems. Other solutions suggested were the introduction of a dietitian internship, and the modernization of foodservice facilities for principals and teachers. Of those surveyed 98.4 percent of principals and 95.5 percent of teachers responded that nutrition education is urgently needed. Many subjects also responded that the first three years of elementary school are the most proper time for nutrition education and it is best that these lessons are reinforced at least once a month through discretional or special activities. Survey participants responded that the proper ratio for nutrition educators is 400-800 persons for dietitians compared to less than 400 persons for principals. In conclusion, it is hoped that this study will be able to provide a foundation of data for implementing a systematic nutrition education program by nutrition teachers in elementary school.

The purpose of this study was to assess current food-handling practices of employees in school food service settings, as well as their knowledge levels, and identify relationships between knowledge, practices, and influencing variables. The survey was conducted for dietitians and employees in the school foodservice industry in Gyeongsangbuk-do province. A total of 270 and 570 questionnaires for dietitians and employees, respectively, were distributed by mail. Response rates were $62\%$ (N=171) and $66\%$ (N=376) from dietitians and employees, respectively. Data was analyzed using SPSS Windows (version 10.0). Descriptive statistics were used to summarize data. Pearson correlations were applied to test for relationships between knowledge and practice of HACCP principles. Stepwise regression analysis was performed to examine the influence of knowledge, current education guidelines, demographic information (working experience, academic background, and certification for food and cooking), and school characteristics (food production system, service style, and number of meals). School foodservice employees were found to have a significant amount of food safety knowledge ($67.5\pm1.8$ out of 100 possible points). Proper food handling practices were not always being followed in many schools. The relationship between their knowledge, current HACCP education training, and food handling practices was not significant. These results suggested the present situation of HACCP trainings performed by dietitians were inadequate for many school foodservice operations. The number of meals in school was an independent predictor of the employees' food-handling practices. These results suggest that an effective education program should integrate endeavors that take account of social and environmental influences on food safety to support the improvement of food-handling practices and the implementation of a HACCP program. Furthermore, dietitians should continue to provide consulting, training, and technical assistance to schools on HACCP implementation.

The objective of this study is to analyze the factors increased use of environmentalfriendly agricultural product in school food service. For this, I surveyed the perceptions on environmental-friendly agricultural product and willingness-to-pay for increasing use to 500 parents of elementary, middle and high school. As a result, the perception of environment and safety is the highest, but health and consumption is the lowest. The average of willingness-to-pay is about 12,136 Won per month. But 14.2 percent of the total respondents said that they did not have a willingness-to-pay, and 62.6 percent said that they would pay an additional 10,000 won or less. The factors affecting the willingness-to-pay were gender, income, health and consumption factors. Despite the low level of parents' perception of the health and consumption factors for environmental-friendly agricultural products, health and consumption factors affect statistically significant on the willingness-to-pay compared to others. Most of the promotion and education of environmental-friendly agricultural products has focused on safety, but this study suggests that education on the health and correct consumption of environmental-friendly agricultural products is important.

The menu planning is closely tied to the acceptability of the food and the satisfaction of the food service system to its client, therefore national school lunch program(NSLP) menu should consider the food preferences of the students. To provide appropriate information and guidelines about desirable NSLP menu planning, the comparison between the frequency of NSLP menus and food preferences of the students was performed, NSLP menus with cooking method of 776 meals were collected from 10 elementary NSLP schools in Seoul and Kyunggi province, and food preference data was surveyed with 1618 elementary school students from 4 NSLP schools in Korea in 1995. According to the cooking methods, NSLP menus served Kimchi(98.3%), rice(71.4%) and soup(71.1%) frequently. Based on the food groups, NSLP menus served vegetables most frequently(188%), followed by grains(101.4%), milk(100%), meat(57.3%), fruits(50.3%), and so on. By Spearman Rank Correlations analysis, the serving frequencies of vegetable side dishes(r=.33, p=.05) were positively correlated with the students' preference score. According to the cooking method, the serving frequencies of steamed dishes(r=1.0, p=.00), salads(r=1.0, p=.00), Kimchi(r=.85, p=.01) and rice one-dish meal(r=.80, p=.10) were positively correlated with the students' preference score. However, the serving frequencies of the main dishes(r=.13, p=.57) and soup group(r=.15, p=.57) were not significantly correlated with the students' preference score. Even though the serving frequency of fruit were negatively correlated with the students' preference score(r= -.80, p=.10). These results indicated that the NSLP menu planned the vegetable side dishes in accordance with the students' food preferences, but it planned the main dish, soup group, and meat side dish group discordantly. Therefore further efforts are needed to involve the preferred cooking methods for increasing the food acceptability. It could be used for the basic guidelines for menu planning of NSLP, and for the future improvement of NSLP in Korea.

본 연구는 서울 지역 초등학생 705명과 초등학교 영양사 100명을 대상으로 설문지를 이용하여 학교급식에서의 음료 선호도에 대한 인식과 제공 실태를 파악하고 영양사와 초등학생간의 음료 선호도 인식의 차이를 비교 분석하였다. 이에 대한 결과는 다음과 같다. 학교급식에서 나오는 우유 선호도에 대한 초등학생의 의견은 보통이다(35.2%), 좋다(22.0%), 싫다(18.3%), 매우 좋다(12.2%), 매우 싫다(12.2%) 순이었다. 남학생과 여학생의 학교급식 우유 선호도에 유의적인 차이가 나타났으며 여학생(평균=2.79)보다 남학생(평균=3.24)의 학교급식 우유 선호도가 높았다. 학교급식에서 나오는 요구르트 선호도에 대한 의견은 매우 좋다(39.9%), 좋다(35.1%), 보통이다(20.1%), 싫다(2.9%), 매우 싫다(1.9%) 순으로 우유 선호도와 달리 요구르트 선호도는 높은 것으로 나타났다. 남학생과 여학생의 학교급식 요구르트 선호도에 유의적인 차이가 나타났으며 여학생(평균=3.88)보다 남학생(평균=4.26)의 요구르트 선호도가 높았다. 학교급식에서 나오는 과일주스 선호도에 대한 의견은 매우 좋다(53.5%), 좋 다(30.4%), 보통이다(13.9%), 싫다(1.3%), 매우 싫다(0.9%) 순이었다. 학교급식에 나오는 과일주스 선호도는 우유나 요구르트보다 비교적 높게 나다났으며 남학생(평균=4.37)과 여학생(평균=4.32)의 과일주스 선호도의 유의적인 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 초등학생의 과일주스 섭취빈도 조사 결과 설문 응답자의 41.8%가 과일주스를 일주일에 2-3번 섭취하고 설문 응답자의 21.5%가 한 달에 2-3번 섭취하는 것으로 나타났다. 과일주스를 마시는 동기로는 과일주스 맛을 느끼고 싶을 때(30.1%), 간식(27.3%), 갈증해소(24.2%) 순으로 나타났다. 초등학생이 가장 좋아하는 과일주스는 오렌지주스(34.1%), 사과주스(20.77%), 포도주스(17.5%) 순이었으며 가장 자주 마시는 과일주스로는 오렌지주스(57.3%), 포도주스(13.8%), 사과주스(8.1%) 순으로 조사되었다. 초등학생이 선호하는 과일주스와 가장 자주 마시는 과일주스 1순위로 모두 오렌지주스를 선택하였으며 사과주스와 포도주스는 선호도에 비해 섭취 빈도가 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 영양사를 대상으로 학교급식에서 과일주스 제공 실태 조사 결과 응답자의 과반수 이상이 한 학기에 1회 미만(61.0%)으로 과일주스를 제공한다는 것으로 나타나 학교급식에서 과일주스 제공빈도가 매우 낮음을 알 수 있었다. 감귤주스와 사과주스가 학교급식에서 자주 제공되는 과일주스로 꼽혔으며 영양사들은 학교급식에서 1인용 과일주스의 포장용기로 종이팩이 가장 적당하다고 대답하였다. 현재 57.8%의 학교 급식에서 1인당 125 mL의 사과주스를 제공하고 있고 14.7%의 학교급식에서 1인당 100 mL 의 사과주스를 제공하고 있는 것으로 나타났으며 영양사들이 인식하는 적당한 1회용 과일주스 양은 125 mL(58.1%). 100 mL(31.4%) 순이었다. 학교급식 메뉴로서 과일주스보다 요구르트를 더 선호하는 이유로 유산균 및 칼슘 보충가능, 저렴한 가격, 선호도 등이 대부분을 차지하였다. 영양사들은 초등학생들이 과일주스보다 요구르트를 더 좋아한다고 생각하고 있으며 실제 초등학생들의 과일주스에 대한 선호도는 우유와 요구르트의 선호도보다 매우 높았다. 초등학생의 우유 선호도에 대해 영양사들은 초등학생들의 실제 우유 선호도보다 초등학생들이 우유를 좋아하지 않는다고 인식하고 있는 것으로 나타났으며 영양사가 인식하고 있는 초등학생의 요구르트 선호도는 실제 초등학생의 요구르트 선호도보다 높게 인식하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 영양사들은 초등학생의 실제 과일주스에 대한 선호도보다 매우 낮게 인식하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 영양사들의 학력수준과 영양사들이 인식하는 초등학생의 과일주스 선호도에 대하여 교차분석을 실시한 결과, 통계적 유의성이 나타나지 않았다. 초등학생들의 높은 과일주스 선호도에 비해 학교급식에서 과일주스의 제공빈도는 한 학기에 1회 미만인 학교가 61.0%로 나타나 학생들의 과일주스 선호도와 학교급식에서의 과일주스 제공빈도 사이에는 큰 격차가 있음을 본 연구의 결과가 보여주고 있다. 학교급식에서 과일주스 제공시 높은 단가와 과일 자체의 당으로 인해 학생들의 비만이 우려되는 면도 있지만 영양사들은 초등학생의 과일주스에 대한 높은 선호도와 급식 제공의 편리성 및 비타민 공급원이라는 것을 인식하여 학교급식에서 과일 주스의 제공빈도 증가를 고려해 보아야 할 것이다. 또한 과일주스 생산 및 판매 업체는 학교급식에서 과일주스 소비 촉진을 위해 과일주스의 정확한 영양 정보(당 함유율 등)를 표시하고 원산지 공개 등을 통하여 영양사와 학부모들이 신뢰할 수 있는 제품임을 확인시켜 줄 필요가 있다. 그리고 학교급식을 위한 적정한 용기와 양을 조사하고 주스 단가를 이전보다 낮추는 방법을 적극적으로 검토할 것을 제안한다. 초등학생의 설문조사 회수율은 99.7%로 매우 높은 비율을 보였지만 영양사 대상 설문조사는 17.9%로 낮은 회수율을 보였다. 이는 직접 학교를 방문하여 설문조사를 한 초등학생과 우편으로 설문지를 발송하고 회수한 방식에 따른 차이로 해석될 수 있다. 회수율과 서울 지역의 영양사만을 대상으로 한 점을 고려해 볼 때 영양사 대상으로 조사된 연구 결과의 일반화에 어려움이 있기 때문에 후속 연구로 조사 대상을 전국 지역으로 확대하여 본 연구결과와 비교해 봄이 바람직할 것으로 보인다. 또한 개별 학교별로 해당 학교의 영양사와 해당 초등학교의 학생들 간의 매치된 자료를 통한 분석을 통하여 인식의 차이를 파악하고 이에 대한 실용적이고 구체적인 방안을 마련할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the operators' perception of the allowable price range and the optimal price of kindergarten meals by using the PSM (price sensitivity measurement) technique and provide basic data on calculating kindergarten meal costs reflecting realistic meals. From April to May 2021, 779 kindergartens in Seoul were surveyed, based on 246 (31.6%) of the respondents. According to the survey, kindergarteners spent 3,506 won for meals on average, followed by 3,822 won for kindergarten attached to elementary school, 3,316 won for public kindergartens, and 2,896 won for private kindergartens (p<0.001). The allowed price range for the kindergarten meal service workers was estimated at 3,447~3854 won, 3,447 won for PMC (Point of Marginal Cheapness), and 3,854 won for PME (Point of Marginal Expensiveness). The appropriate cost of the kindergarten meal service provider was 3,950 won for kindergartens attached to elementary school, 3,425 won for public kindergartens, and 3,546 won for private kindergartens.

The purpose of this study was to find the proper methods of school food service conducted from June 20th July 30th in 1996. The subjects of this study were 587 parents of students, 794 students and 359 school teachers at 508 middle and high schools in Seoul and Kyunggi area. And the result was as follow. A total of 48.3% of respondent answered they had breakfast regularly. The reasons why they had breakfast, were habits(34.4%) followed by hunger(28.2%), health(19.9%), parent's persuasion(17.5%). They reasons why they didn't have breakfast are, lacks of time(68.8%) followed by absence of appetite(20.5%), diet(4.5%). About the question the problem of eating habits the most of parents of students, chose an unbalanced diet(25.9%), followed by overeating of snacks(21.7%), voracious eating(18.0%), not eating meals(17.5%), eating little(10%) and overeating(6.8%). At the research of an unbalanced diet, the 63.3% of respondents said they eat evenly while the 36.7% said they had an unbalanced diet. From the research of correlativity between food service at elementary schools and eating habits, we knew that the experience of school food service had an effect on an unbalanced diet. And the students living in Seoul complained more than in Kyunggi. The question about the quality of food, 69.0% of respondents said they were not so bad. While 21.2% said not delicious at all just 9.8% of students said they were very satisfied with the taste. Interestingly, more middle school students both in Kyunggi and Seoul answered the food was delicious than high school students. About the question of the price, 49.5% of students thought appropriate(49.5%) while 44.3% said it was too high. Just 5.9% students answered cheap(5.9%). And students living in Kyunggi thought the price was high than students in Seoul. 62.9% of respondents think their refectories were clean while 22.8% think not clean. And 14.3% answered said dirty. Snack bars at school were managed by the contract with trusters(63.2%), while by the school itself(32.6%).
