The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of perceived price and servicescape on employee service quality, food and beverage quality, and customer value in Daegu Korean restaurants and to suggest methods for them to become the food mecca of Korea and the world. The samples for this study were customers of nine Korean restaurants in Daegu. A total of 368 questionnaires were analyzed with factor analysis, a reliability test, and a covariance structural analysis. The results showed that perceived price was positively related to employee service quality and food and beverage quality and that servicescape was positively related to employee service quality and food and beverage quality. However perceived price, servicescape, employee service quality, and food and beverage quality were not related to customer value. The reasons were that these factors did not influence perceived customer value in Daegu Korean restaurants. The Daegu municipal office should require these restaurants to develop distinguished employee service and food and beverage quality and conduct consistent marketing to Koreans and westerners, so that these restaurants can become the food mecca of Korea and the world.

The purpose of this study was to measure the effects of service quality mediating the linkage among food and beverage price, restaurant image and value. A total of 273 questionnaires were completed. MANOVA, ANOVA and ANCOVA were used to measure the mediating effect of service quality on the relationships among food and beverage price, restaurant image, and value. The effects of food and beverage price and restaurant image on service quality and value were statistically significant. As expected, when food and beverage price and service quality were regressed on the value, the service quality was significant and the effect of the food and beverage price was reduced. Moreover, when restaurant image and service quality were regressed on the value, the restaurant image and service quality had a significant effects on value. The results demonstrated that service quality played a mediating role in the relationship between food and beverage price and value, and between restaurant image and value.

The purpose of this study was to investigate how users' perceived benefits of hotel F&B loyalty program affected their relationship quality(trust and satisfaction) and loyalty on hotel products and services(hotel food & beverage products/services) and how their relationship quality(trust and satisfaction) influenced their loyalty. The model was tested in the settings of five-star hotels using a sample of current members of food & beverage membership program. Empirical results confirmed that not only perceived benefits of hotel F&B loyalty program affects users' perceived relationship quality(trust and satisfaction) and loyalty on hotel products and services(hotel food & beverage products/services) but that their perceived relationship quality influences loyalty on hotel products and services(hotel food & beverage products/services). According to the results, complimentary dining coupon and food discount strongly affected relationship quality(trust and satisfaction) and loyalty on hotel products and services(hotel food & beverage products/services). Strategically, it is recommended to appeal those benefits to current and potential members to maximize the loyalty. Also, it should be considered as major factors to re-package hotel F&B loyalty program.

The effects of packaging materials on preserving the functional component of pine bud beverage stored under UV (ultraviolet) light exposure conditions were studied. The order of UV light blocking properties of the selected packages was: opaque can> opaque PET (polyethylene terepthalate) with green lamination=transparent PET with 10% PEN (polyethylene naphthalate) blending> transparent PET, and did not depend on film thickness in specified range. At 20${^{\circ}C}$, the order of preserving degree of original color and endobornyl acetate, which is quality index of pine bud beverage, was the same as above. Exposure to UV light can cause of deterioration of functional food components, but green color lamination and blending of PEN materials with transparent PET help to preserve the UV sensitive pine bud beverage components. However, the treated PET bottles have poorer preservation capabilities than the opaque cans. Transparent PET with PEN blending, in particular, will be very useful packaging material for colorful functional beverage preservation by helping to protect the ingredients while attracting consumer attention.

Response surface methodology(RSM) was used for monitoring the quality change of muskmelon beverage with storage temperature and time. Muskmelon beverage was prepared with the ratio of liquid fructose($11\%$), muskmelon vinegar($3\%$), concentrated muskmelon juice($1\%$) and refined water($84\%$). To examine physicochemical properties of muskmelon beverage, various factors such as color, brown color intensity and sugar content were determined using physicochemical methods. Physicochemical properties of muskmelon beverage were more affordable with the increased storage temperature. While, organoleptic properties decreased with the increased storage time and temperature. The result of this study indicated that the quality of muskmelon beverage was mostly influenced by the storage temperature. Muskmelon beverage showed the good score under $60^{\circ}C$ as a storage temperature.

The effects of ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) on the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of coffee beverage were investigated. Coffee powder (4 g) was soaked into 80 mL distilled water and extracted for 15, 30, 60, 120, 180, 240, or 300 sec at $60^{\circ}C$ in an ultrasonic bath (40 kHz, 300 W). Hot-water extraction (HE) at $80^{\circ}C$ for 300 sec was used as a control. Content of soluble solids in coffee beverage prepared by UAE (60~300 sec) was same or higher than those of HE, however, no significant differences were observed among the four beverages extracted for more than 120 sec. Clarity and browning index of beverage prepared by UAE (15 sec) and by HE were significantly higher and lower, respectively, compared to those of the other. Content of phenolic compounds was lower and higher respectively, in beverage prepared by UAE (15 sec, 30 sec) and UAE (60~300 sec) than by HE. DPPH radical scavenging activity was highest in beverage prepared by UAE (15 sec) and HE. Sensory evaluation showed that color, aroma, taste, and overall acceptability were rated with the best score for beverage prepared by UAE (15 sec) and the worst score for beverage prepared UAE (120~300 sec). Therefore, ultrasound-assisted extraction can be used for improving quality of coffee beverage.
