The objective of this study is to examine how the factors influence each other by determining the appropriate measurement standard based on the fast food restaurant attribute evaluation, perceived pricing, value, satisfaction and intent for return patronage, and present an effective fast food restaurant marketing strategy based on the analytical results by patrons and market segmentations. The results showed that restaurant attribution evaluation had a positive effect on the perceived value, satisfaction and intent for return patronage of the fast food restaurant patrons; perceived pricing of the fast food restaurant patrons had a positive affect on the perceived value, satisfaction and intent for return patronage; perceived value had a positive affect on satisfaction and intent for return patronage; and satisfaction had a positive affect on intent for return patronage.

The objective of this study is to develop a nutrition policy on food and nutrition labeling and education systems for fast food and carbonated soft drinks in Korea by identifying the fast food and soft drink use and by examining nutrition policies and labeling in Korea and other countries. Fast food is defined as food dispensed quickly at a restaurant generally offering a limited menu of inexpensive items, which may be mostly not nutritious. It is a growing component of the Korean diet, especially on children and adolescent population. Low nutrient dense beverages such as carbonated drinks are also increasing in the children and adolescent's diet in Korea and concern has been raised that these beverages may replace more nutritious beverage and provide empty calories. According to 2001 Korean national health and nutrition survey, fast food and carbonated soft drinks were most popular among 13 - 19 years old adolescents. Thirty six and 72 percent of adolescents consumed hamburger and carbonated beverage equal to or more than once a week, respectively. In United States, all processed food including soft drinks should disclose full nutrition information by nutrition labeling requirement.. Restaurant foods are not required to provide nutrition information currently, but legislation on mandatory nutrition labeling of fast foods with other restaurant foods has been proposed currently in US. The sales of foods of minimal nutritional value, such as soft drinks, in the nation's schools is regulated by the United States Department of Agriculture. Nutrition information about fast food in US has been provided by fast food companies, non-profit organizations, hospitals and government through internet, booklet and brochure, etc, but the information is available from only a few resources in Korea. This study suggests a nutrition policy on fast food and soft drink use which includes establishing mandatory nutrition labeling and developing nutrition education materials and programs by web-site, booklet and government and school programs in Korea.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Elevation of postprandial lipemia characterized by a rise in triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoproteins can increase the risk of atherogenesis. The objective of this study was to investigate postprandial lipemia response to a single dietary fat/sugar load test and monitor beneficial changes induced by the consumption of Platycodi radix (AP) beverage in healthy subjects. SUBJECTS/METHODS: A total of 52 subjects were randomly assigned to either placebo or AP beverage group with a high-fat shake in a randomized controlled crossover trial. Postprandial blood was collected at 0, 1, 2, 4, and 6 h and analyzed for TG and lipoprotein lipase mass. Inhibition of pancreatic lipase was determined in vitro. RESULTS: AP inhibited pancreatic lipase activity in vitro ($IC_{50}=5mg/mL$). Compared to placebo beverage, AP beverage consumption with a high-fat shake induced significant increase of plasma lipoprotein lipase mass (P = 0.0111, ${\beta}$ estimate = 4.2948) with significant reduction in very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) TG concentration (P = 0.038, ${\beta}$ estimate = -52.69) at 6 h. Based on significant correlation between high-fat dietary scores MEDFICTS and postprandial TG responses in VLDL (P = 0.0395, r = 0.2127), subgroup analysis revealed that 6 h-postprandial VLDL TG response was significantly decreased by AP consumption in subjects with MEDFICTS ${\geq}40$ (P = 0.0291, ${\beta}$ estimate = -7214). CONCLUSIONS: AP beverage might have potential to alleviate postprandial lipemia through inhibiting pancreatic lipase activity and elevating lipoprotein lipase mass. Subgroup analysis revealed that subjects with high-fat dietary pattern could be classified as responders to AP beverage among all subjects.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the stress levels and the dietary patterns of 390 male and female University students in Seoul and to analyze the correlation between the two. Informations of the subjects were obtained by questionnaire. As a result of this research study, male students had such bad dietary patterns as their stress increased(P<.05). Female students were more affected in dietary patterns by stress level and both male and female students exhibited a tendency to be in a higher state of intake as their stress level increased.

본 연구의 한계는 설문대상이 주로 대학생들로 나타나 표본선정에 있어 고루 분포되지 못한 직업군 등으로 연구결과의 대표성에 문제가 제기된다. 또한, 이용자들이 피자 배달 전문점에 어떠한 이미지를 가지고 있는지에 관한 부분들이 결여되어 있다. 따라서, 향후 연구 과제에 대한 제안으로 인구통계적 특성이나 라이프스타일에 따른 보다 구체적인 피자 배달 전문점의 서비스 품질 등을 가미한 연구가 필요할 것이며, 이용자들의 피자 배달 전문점의 서비스품질에 대한 정확한 지각을 측정하기 위해서는 지각된 품질을 구성하는 보다 심층적인 연구가 필요한 것으로 사료된다. 향후 과제로 이러한 부족한 점들을 보완한 연구가 요구되어진다고 사료된다.
