Recently, the number of elderly people in the rural area of Korea has increased remarkably and their food security has become deteriorated mainly due to the low economic status. To investigate the food security for the elderly people, relevant data were obtained by offering questionnaire to the rural elderly people who were engaging in traditional agricultural production for daily foods. The subjects of 1870 were collected in 9 provinces according to PPS(Probability Proportional to Size). Questionnaire contained the items of dietary habit, food cultivation, Production and Preservation, and the suey was conducted by trained interviewers. SAS (ver 8.1) was used for statistical analyses in which Chi-square tests and General Linear Models were made. Family of the elderly people was $45.4\%$ of the total and the characteristics of elderly families were that age of male head was 82.1 years and that of female was 67.7 years, and that $68.8\%$ of elderly women were working for family income or pocket money. The elderly families' food cultivation state was surveyed and they were pepper$(59.1\%)$, chinese cabbage$(61.91\%)$, and sesame$(48.6\%)$ for their own consumption. But, bean sprout$(6.5\%)$, tofu$(7.7\%)$ and egg$(5.1\%)$ showed low rate of cultivation for the family. The rate of cultivating chinese cabbage$(61.9\%)$, and sesame$(48.6\%)$ was significantly higher than that of middle aged family. At the status of fermented food production for the elderly family, Doenjang$(87.4\%)$ and Gochujang$(86.3\%)$ Kanjang$(84.0\%)$ Kimchi$(92.9\%)$ Jangachi$(27.6\%)$ and Meju$(91.61\%)$maintained higher rate than that of middle aged families' Food preservation of elderly families was low and there are just jam$(5.3\%)$ and bottled products$(1.4\%)$. A little higher rate was observed lot the preserved food such as alcohol$(9.9\%)$ and powder$(9.8\%)$. For the elderly family the score of food cultivation was 4.08/12 points and that of food preservation was 0.62/12 points. The score of fermented food production for elderly family was 10.24/12 points which was significantly different from that of middle aged family (9.58/12 points, p<0.001). This result suggests that for the elderly people food with more protein is needed for production.

High-level expression of the lipase B26 gene from Bacillus pumilus was achieved using Bacillus subtilis Chungkookjang isolated from the Korean traditional fermented bean paste, Chungkookjang. For the secretory production of recombinant lipase B26 in a Bacillus host system, pLipB26 was constructed by ligating the lipase B26 gene into the recently designed Escherichia coli-Bacillus shuttle vector, pLipSM, and that was then transformed into B. subtilis Chungkookjang. Among the various vector, medium, and host combinations, B. subtilis Chungkookjang harboring the pLipB26 exhibited the highest lipase activity in PY medium, and B. subtilis Chungkookjang secreted two times more enzymes than B. subtilis DB 104 under the same condition. When B. subtilis Chungkookjang harboring the pLipB26 was cultured in a 5-1 jar-fermentor containing 21 of a PY medium, the maximum lipase activity (140 U/ml) and production yield (0.68 g/l) were obtained during the late exponential phase from a cell-free culture broth. Although B. subtilis Chungkookjang also secreted extracellular proteases at the late exponential phase, these results suggested the potential of B. subtilis Chungkookjang as a host for the secretory production of foreign proteins.

Pediocin K1 is a bacteriocin produced by Pediococcus sp. KCA 1303-10, isolated from traditionally fermented flatfish in Korea. Pediocin K1-dependent antibiosis and pediocin K1-independent antibiosis against Listeria monocyrogenes were investigated by comparing antibiosis potential of the ped＋ wild-type strain of Pediococcus sp. KCA1303-10 with that of the ped- mutant strain in 3 different media at 3 different temperatures. In the synthetic MRS-APT medium, bacteriocin (pediocin K1)-dependent antibiosis (BDA) acted as the major driving force of overall antibiosis at the initial stage before the pH of the media was not sufficiently lowered, while bacteriocin-independent antibiosis (BIA) took over the major role at the late stage of antibiosis by killing otherwise resistant cells in the modium. The role of BDA increased as the temperature of the system decreased. The antibiosis potential of BDA among the overall antibiosis of Pediococcus against Listeria at $37^{\circ}C$ was calculated as 46%, and as 75% at $25^{\circ}C$. In the skim milk medium, antibiosis of Pediococcus against Listeria was weakened more than 4 log cycles compared to that of the synthetic medium; however, BDA worked as the main antibiosis force regardless of the culturing temperature in the skim milk medium. In the bean soup medium, BDA also worked as the major killing mechanism against Listeria, but BIA played as another suppressing mechanism against otherwise pediocin-resistant Listeria population. These results suggest that a large portion of the inhibitory action of the ped+Pediococcus sp. KCA1303-10 was attributable to the bacteriocin produced by the strain and that viable Pediococcus sp. KCA1303-10 was superior to the purified bacteriocin in suppressing the occurrence of the bacteriocin-resistant Listeria monocytogenes in food systems.

This study was performed to assess the consumption of various seasonings (SNG), which are usually omitted from food frequency questionnaire(FFQ), and their contributions to nutrient intake levels. A dietary survey with FFQ , which surveyed the intake of 65 mainly uncooked food items, was conducted for 493 adults over 30 years of age from 373 households in a rural area of Korea. Household consumption of major SNG items-garlic , red pepper powder, fermented soy bean paste, oil, soy sauce , salt, etc- were estimated by a questionnaire completed by the housewives of the survey participants. The daily consumption of SNG items by each subject was determined by 3 methods ; dividing daily household consumption by \circled1 the number of household members. \circled2 the number of household members over 10 years of age and \circled3 the weighted number of houshold members calculated by the ratio of the RDA for energy. All three methods for calculating the daily personal consumption of seasoning gave similar results, which may have been partly due to the homogenity of family age distribution of the households in the study area. Therefore, the results of method \circled1 were used to determine the contribution of SNG to nutrient intake of subjects in this study. Daily intake of all nutrients were significantly increased by including SNG consumption in the measurements as compared to measuring intake by FFQ alone (p0.01). Percentages of total daily nutrient intake from SNG ranged from 2.3% in carbohydrate to 34.4% in fat. Nutrients with higher contributions from SNG were energy (8.4%), fat (34.4%), Fe(20.55) and $\beta$-carotene(17.9%). These results indicate that SNG consumption can contribute significantly to the intake of several nutrients and must be considered in surveys using FFQ.

The core ingredient of traditional Korean style soy sauce is soy bean without any wheat or rice incorporated. National brands as well as regional micro-brewed companies constitute the soy sauce market in Korea. The present study investigated the physico-chemical and sensory properties of soy sauces produced by small-scale or mass-production. Additionally, the key physico-chemical parameters sufficiently representing the critical sensory characteristics have been identified. Ten types of soy sauce brewed by the Korean traditional method were selected for the study. Among these samples, seven types were brewed in small-scales in the Gyeonggi-do region whereas the other 3 types were mass-production products of major national brands. The total solid, reducing sugar, salinity, sugar content, amino nitrogen, CIELAB, acidity, and pH of soy sauce samples were measured for the physico-chemical analysis. A generic descriptive analysis was conducted to analyze the sensory characteristics of the samples using six trained panelists. The descriptive panel developed 21 sensory attributes. The data were statistically analyzed using ANOVA, PCA and PLSR. Overall, the micro-brewed products showed significantly higher value of salinity and acidity but lower content of reducing sugar than the mass-production products. The micro-brewed soy sauces elicited stronger fermented flavor, sourness, and bitterness whereas the national brand products elicited stronger alcoholic odor, sweetness and umami taste. Sugar content, acidity, and amino nitrogen showed strong relationships with fish sauce flavor, umami taste, and rich flavor. Salinity was closely related to the overall flavor intensity.

A special form of questionaire was prepared and distributed to 502 housewives in seoul from Feb. 8th to 22nd in 1989. The results were as follows: In Cooking methods, they tended to follow in the steps of their mother, and it took about half an hour or an hour to prepare a meal. They cooked fried foods once or twice a month. Whenever they fried foods they need new oil. Followings were details of cooking method mainly used by housewives. Fishes were tended to be roast, vegetables to be dressing and seasoning. Highly milled boiled rice was best preferred as the cheif food, and it was cooked by following procedure; First rice was washed, and steeped in water for the time being. Next, the water was poured out and water was filled again, then rice with the water was boiled. Fish Chige was cooked in the way that fish was put into the boiled soup. Fermented sao-bean paste Chige was cooked using water in which rice had been washed. Hard-boiled beef with soy sauce was made using the method that soy sauce was properly poured after beef was boiled. A Spinach was boiled shightly with salty water. In view of those results, there were many cases that housewives did not only utilize their knowledge about foods in real dietary life, but also fell short of endeaver to do so. They chiefly made use of the cooking methods instructed from their mother or husband's mother. In conclusion, in order to illuminate housewives to have an exact nutritional knowledge about foods and cooking methods getting out of the loss of nutritions, nutritional education program must be provided for housewives.

가정에서 제조된 된장을 산성조건에서 계대 배양한 후 균체외 mannanase 를 생산하는 Bacillus sp. YB-1401를 분리하였다. 분리균의 당이용능을 비롯한 생화학적 특성은 Brevibacillus laterosporus와 유사도(61.1%)가 가장 높은 반면에 16S rRNA 유전자의 염기서열은 B. amyloliquefaciens와 유사도가 가장 높았다. 분리균 YB-1401의 mannanase 생산성은 mannans에 의해 급격하게 증가하였으며, 특히 곤약(4%)이 첨가된 배지에서 약 265 U/ml로 최대 생산성을 보였다. 분리균의 mannanase는 $55^{\circ}C$와 pH 5.5 반응조건에서 최대활성을 보였으며 pH 3.5-11.0의 범위에서 1시간 방치하였을 때 실활이 거의 일어나지 않았다. 또한 LBG와 guar gum 및 mannooligosaccharides를 mannanase로 분해하였을 때 주된 반응산물로 mannobiose와 mannotriose가 생성되었으며 mannose도 소량 생성되었다.

본 논문은 분말된장의 첨가가 닭고기 소시지의 품질 및 저장성에 미치는 영향을 구명하기 위하여 분말된장을 첨가하지 않은 대조구(C)와 분말된장 2% 첨가구(DP2), 분말된장 5% 첨가구(DP5), 분말된장 8% 첨가구(DP8)로 나누어 일주일 간격으로 총 4주간 실험을 실시하였다. 실험 결과, pH에서는 분말된장 처리구가 분말된장을 첨가하지 않은 대조구(C)에 비해 유의적으로 낮은 값을 보였다(p<0.05). TBARS에서는 분말된장 첨가구가 대조구(C)에 비해 지방산패를 억제함을 알 수 있었으며(p<0.05), 분말된장 5% 처리구(DP5)가 저장 4주차에 다른 처리구들에 비해 유의적으로 낮은 TBARS 값을 나타내었다(p<0.05). 단백질 변패를 나타내는 VBN은 분말된장 8% 처리구(DP8)가 다른 처리구들에 비해 유의적으로 높은 값이 나왔다(p<0.05). 닭고기 소시지의 보수력은 된장분말 첨가에 의한 영향을 받지 않았다(p<0.05). 표면육색 측정 결과, 명도 값은 분말된장 첨가구가 대조구에 비해 유의적으로 낮았으며(p<0.05), 적색도 및 황색도에서는 분말된장 5% 처리구(DP5)가 다른 처리구들에 비해 유의적으로 높은 값을 보였다(p<0.05). 조직감 측정 결과, 경도, 탄력성, 점성, 씹힘성 항목에서 분말된장 5% 처리구(DP5)와 분말된장 8% 처리구(DP8)가 다른 처리구들에 비해 유의적으로 낮은 값을 보였다(p<0.05). 닭고기 소시지의 저장 중 총 호기성 및 혐기성균은 분말된장 5 및 8% 첨가에 의해 증식이 억제되는 것이 확인되었다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 볼 때 닭고기 소시지 제조 시 분말된장의 첨가는 무첨가구에 비해 저장성이 우수한 소시지를 만들 수 있을 것으로 예상되며, 한국 전통양념을 이용한 육가공 식품이 전무한 시점에서 이화학적으로 새로운 맛의 제품을 만들어 소비자들의 이목을 끌 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

한국의 경기, 충청, 강원, 전라 및 경상도에서 각각 한개씩 취한 5개의 한국 재래식 메주의 발효 미생물을 분류 및 생태학적 견지에서 조사 연구한바 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 발효 미생물중 molds는 메주 덩어리의 표면층의 부분에만 존재하며 그 종류는 잡다하여 주요 균종을 알아낼 수는 없었으나 본 실험에서는 3종의 Mucor, 2종의 Penicillium, 각 1종의 Scopulariosis 및 Aspergillus를 분리할 수 있었다. 2. 발효 미생물중 bacteria는 메주덩어리 전체에 골고루 조밀하게 분포되어 있었으며 특히 덩어리 내부에는 bacteria만이 존재하였다. Bacteria의 균종은 단순하여 Bacillus subtilis와 Bacillus pumilus가 한국 메주의 거의 전 bacteria군을 형성하고 있어 한국 메주의 발효 숙성은 bacteria군의 발효에 의한 것이 그 특색이 아닌가 생각되었다. 한국 메주에서는 그외에 Staphylococcus의 1종도 분리되었다. 3. 5개의 메주 시료중 2개의 메주 시료에서는 Rhodotorula flava 및 Torulopsis dattila의 2종의 yeasts가 분리되었으나 이들 yeasts가 메주의 발효 미생물군 형성에 괼요한 것인지의 여부는 아직 분명치 않았다. 4. 한국 재래식 메주는 그 부피의 약 1/2을 차지 하늘 덩어리의 표면층의 부분과 내부부분에있어서 발효 미생물의 생태가 다르며 따라서 이들 발효미생물에 의한 메주의 발효 숙성에 따른 화학적인 변화도 이 두 부분이 서로 상이하여 숙성된 메주는 그 질이 이 두 부분에 있어서 다르다고 인정되었다. 즉 메주의 외측부분은 견고하게 건조하여 삶은 콩이 그리 변질되지 않았으나 메주내부는 삶은콩이 세균에 의하 연하고 끈끈하고 암갈색으로 심하게 변하였다. 5. 한국 재래식 메주 5재 시료중 한개 시료에서만 Aspergillus oryzae가 분리되었으며 그 생육밀도도 ${\sim}10^4/g$의 희박한 것이고 또 이 mold가 자랄수 있는 것은 메주 덩어리의 표면 층 뿐이므로 한국재래식 메주에 있어서는 이 mold가 생산하는독소 aflatoxin은 일본식 메주의 경우처럼 심각한 문제가 되지는 않는다고 생각되었다.

We conducted a survey on Japanese women's consciousness of food culture and their traditional food consumption by self filling-out questionnaire during January, 2000 for the period of a month, For the survey we selected 250 women residing in Kyoto, Japan. For the statistic work we used SAS package system, and t-test, $\cal{X}^2-test$ and Duncan's multiple range test were also used to verify the results significance. The purpose of this survey lies in gathering a basic data on the comparative direction of Korean and Japanese women's food culture in the future 1. Comparing the preferred food purchase place, In case of Korean women, traditional market was comparatively more preferred while Japanese women relatively preferred convenience store (p<0.001). 2. In case of Japanese women, they answered there is no difference from ordinary days on New Year's Day (71%) and Christmas (40%) while 38% answered they prepare food at home. 40% said they prepare food on parents-in-law's birthday, and 41% said no difference from ordinary days. 52% said they prepare food at home on husband's birthday. For their own birthday, 32% said yes to preparing food at home while 45% said no difference and 22.3% said eating out. For children's birthday 65% said preparing at home, 16.3% said no difference and 14.9% said eating out. 3. Comparing the conception on traditional food, Korean women answered 'complicated' (77%) most while 'simple' (5%) least, which indicates their demands for simplified recipes. In case of Japanese women, 'complicated' (44%) was most while 'scientific' (6%) was least which indicates their demands for scientific way of recipes. There were differences shown by age (p<0.001) and the older the more said 'simple' or 'logical' (p<0.01). 4. As the reason for the complicity of traditional food recipes, Koreans said 'too many hand skill' (60%) most while 'too many spices' (8%) least. For Japanese, 'various kind of the recipe' (55%) was most while 'too many hand skill' (7%) was least. There were significant differences shown by academic background (p<0.01) and income(p<0.01), and the lower the academic background, the more said 'too many spices' as the reason for the complicity in making traditional food. Generally, the lesser the income, the more tendency to say 'various kinds of the recipe'. 5. In case of Koreans, 'the recipe is difficult' (56%) was high while 'uninterested' (9%) was low in answer which showed differences by academic background (p<0.05), and in case of Japanese, 'no time to cook' (44%) was high while 'uninterested' (7%) was low. 6. The following is the reasons for choosing traditional food as a snack for children. In case of Koreans, they answered as 'traditional food' (34%), 'made from nutrious and quality materials' (27%), 'for education' (22%) and 'suites their taste' (17%) revealing 'traditional food' is highest. In case of Japanese, it was revealed in the order of 'made from nutrious and quality materials' (36.3%), 'traditional food' (25.2%), 'suites their taste' (22.6%), 'for education' (12.8%) and 7. Comparing the most important thing for the popularization of traditional food in the world, Koreans answered 'taste and nutrition' (45%) most while 'shape and color' (6%) least. In case of Japanese, 'taste and nutrition' (75%) was answered most while 'hygienic packaging' (4%) was least. Both considered 'taste and nutrition' as most important thing for the popularization of traditional food in the world. 8. In case of Koreans, they answered they learn how to make traditional food 'from mother' (47%), 'media' (18%), 'school' (15%), 'from mother-in-law' (14%), 'private cooking school' (4%) and 'close acquaintances' (2%). In case of Japanese, they said mostly learn 'from mother', but it was also shown that the lower the academic background the lesser the tendency of learning 'from mother' but 'from school' (p<0.001). 9. About the consumption of traditional fermented food, Koreans said they make kimchi (90%), pickled vegetables (39%), soy sauce (33%), bean paste (38%), salted fishery (12%) and traditional liquors (14%) at home while 67% for salted fishery and 48% for traditional liquors answered they buy rather than making at home. On the other hand, Japanese answered they mostly buy kimchi (60%), soy sauce (96%), bean paste(91%), natto(92%), salt fermented fish foods (77%) and traditional alcoholic beverage (88%) to eat. This difference was shown very distinct between Korean and Japanese women (p<0.001). 10. About the most important thing in food, Koreans answered in the order of 'liking and satisfaction' (33%), 'for health' (32%), 'for relieve hunger' (18%) and 'convenience' (17%). In case of Japanese, it was revealed in the order of 'for health' (61%), 'liking and satisfaction' (20%), 'to relieve hunger' (16%) and 'convenience' (3%). This shows that Japanese women take comparably more importance to health than Korean women. The conception of food was shown different between Korean and Japanese women (p<0.001), and Koreans showed level 4-5 of food culture while Japanese showed level 5.
