BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: With the advances in technologies, self-service kiosks at foodservice operations are becoming a new way of service provision. This study examined the relationships among the menu information quality, nutrition information quality, technology acceptance characteristics, and customer behavioral intention toward the kiosks in fast food restaurants. SUBJECTS/METHODS: A survey with a self-administered method was distributed online and offline. The sample consisted of customers who had used the kiosks at fast food restaurants in the last six months prior to the survey. The study hypotheses were tested by applying structural equation modeling. RESULTS: Structural equation modeling revealed the positive impacts of menu information quality and nutrition information quality, technology acceptance characteristics, and behavioral intention toward kiosks at fast food restaurants. On the other hand, one hypothesis (Hypothesis 4) on the impact of nutrition information quality on the perceived usefulness was rejected. CONCLUSION: The study is the first to investigate nutrition and menu information at foodservice kiosks and relate them to technology acceptance. The study is very timely and adequate in the time of the 4^th industrial revolution. The critical importance of the presentation of nutrition information and menu information at the kiosks at fast food restaurants was verified. The academic and industrial implications of the study findings were discussed.

전반적으로 모든 소비자 군에서 카레덮밥을 가장 선호 하였으나 불고기덮밥은 20대 남자 소비자가, 해물덮밥의 경우 30대 여자 소비자가 선호하는 것으로 나타나 소비자 군에 따라 수용도의 차이를 보였다. 특히 곤약잡채와 해물 덮밥에 대한 소비자 평가는 연령에 따라 상이한 것으로 분석되었다. 9점 기호척도와 BWS의 결과가 유사하였으나 BWS의 경우 시료간의 선호도 차이를 더 확연히 나타냈다. 주관식 응답 설문 기법은 정량화하기는 어려우나 구체적인 개선 방안을 제시하기도 하여 의사 결정의 자료로 사용하기 보다는 제품의 개선 시 개선 방향에 대한 참고 자료로 유용할 것이라 판단된다.

Despite growing interest in Korean foods, South-east Asian consumers' perception and acceptance of Korean foods have not been well elucidated. This study was conducted to understand South-east Asian Muslim consumers' perception and acceptance of Korean foods and the association with their food neophobia level. Ninety-three Muslim consumers (mean ages 25.2, men 35.5%, women 64.5%) from Malaysia (72%), Indonesia (16.1%), and Singapore (11.9%) rated their degree of food neophobia as well as recognition and acceptance of representative Korean menu items. Background data such as duration of stay and Korean food consumption habits were collected. Overall, participants perceived Korean foods positively (4.04 on a 5-point hedonic scale). Most well-recognized Korean foods were gimbap and bulgogi, whereas less-known spicy foods such as ojingoe deopbap were most liked among items that were actually consumed. A neophobic group rated Korean foods less favorably than neutral and neophilic groups (p<0.05). Future studies are required to identify whether or not South-east Asian Muslim consumers' food neophobia is formed under the influence of religious regulations or reflect individual consumers' personal traits.

본 연구에서는 고아미 2호의 흰죽의 제조조건을 기본으로 하여 기능성 식품으로의 활용 가능성을 알아보기 위해 여러 기능성이 알려진 흑임자를 이용하여 흑임자죽의 품질 특성을 알아보았다. 흑임자죽에서는 흑임자의 첨가비율이 증가할수록 명도가 낮아졌으며 b값도 낮아졌다. 점조성 측정 결과, 흑임자의 첨가비율, 물의 첨가비율이 증가할수록 죽의진행거리가 길어져 점성이 감소하였다. 회전 원통형 점도계의 측정 결과에서도 흑임자의 첨가비율, 물의 첨가비율이 증가할수록 점도가 감소하여 점조성과 같은 경향을 보였으며 전분의 양과 쌀을 기준으로 한 물의 첨가비율에 따른 것이라고 생각된다. 관능적 특성의 검사 결과 흑임자와 물의 첨가량에 따라 검은색, 표면 광택, 고소한맛, 떫은맛, 쓴맛, 점도, 색, 맛, 점도에 대한 기호도 및 종합적인 기호도 모두에서 유의적인 차이가 있었다(p<0.001). 고소한 맛은 흑임자의 첨가비율이 증가할수록 증가하였으나 60%에서는 40%와 큰 차이가 나타나지는 않았다. 색에 대한 기호도, 맛에 대한 기호도, 점도에 대한 기호도, 종합적인 기호도에서는 흑임자의 비율 40%, 물 1,200 mL일 때가 모두 가장 높은 기호를 나타냈다. 점도는 흑임자와 물이 증가할수록 감소하는 결과가 나왔고 이는 기계적 측정인 점조성(p<0.001)과 점도(p<0.05)와 높은 상관관계를 보여 관능적 특성의 점도를 예측하는데 두 특성을 이용할 수 있을 것이라고 생각된다. 관능적 특성의 검은색과 표면 광택의 결과는 색차계의 L값과 b값과 상관관계를 보였다. 이러한 결과로 볼 때, 고아미 2호를 기반으로 한 흑임자죽의 최적 조리조건은 흑임자와 고아미 2호를 4:6의 비율로 하고 물의 첨가량은 1,200 mL이라고 할 수 있겠다. 본 연구에서 개발된 흑임자죽은 기능성은 있지만 가공적성 및 이취 등의 관능적 제한점이 있는 고아미 2호의 소비를 늘리기 위한 방안의 일환으로 일조할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

In this study, consumer acceptance and sensory intensity evaluations were performed on sponge cakes prepared with domestic and imported cake flours. Specific volume data as well as cross-sectional photograph observations confirmed that the imported flour sample group had greater volume than the domestic flour groups. The imported flour sample group also had a significantly (p<0.05) higher mean overall acceptability score at 5.82; however, it was not significantly different from the domestic white flour sample group (5.40). There was no significant difference in overall texture acceptance between samples prepared with imported and domestic white flours; however, their scores were significantly higher than that of the domestic whole flour group (p<0.05). Consumer acceptances of color significantly decreased as the orders of cake group prepared using the imported, domestic white, and domestic whole flours with the values of 6.48, 5.72 and 4.61, respectively (p<0.05). Acceptance of the air cell and the acceptance and intensity of sweetness did not show significant differences between the imported and domestic white flour group.

Purpose: This study was conducted to understand the factors that affect the acceptance of gluten-free rice pasta samples prepared with added buckwheat, mungbean, and acorn starches, and to compare sensory characteristics of samples with those of 100% semolina pasta. Methods: Descriptive analysis of pasta was conducted by 12 trained panels. Acceptance test was carried out by 40 consumers using 7-point hedonic scale. Collected data was statistically analyzed by principal component analysis, and partial least squares regression analysis. Results: Quantitative descriptive analysis showed that increasing amount of buckwheat, mungbean, and acorn starches resulted in significant improvement in gluten-free rice pasta properties, especially texture, hardness, chewiness, roughness, and al dente with increasing amount of sample starches, and decreased adhesiveness. In acceptance test, appearance and texture of gluten-free rice pasta with mungbean starch were preferred than pasta made with 100% rice. Flavor and taste was preferred in pasta with buckwheat starch than other pasta samples. Rice pasta with 30% buckwheat starch showed the highest score in overall acceptance among rice samples. Conclusion: This study suggested that adding mungbean starch could improve texture of gluten-free pasta, and adding buckwheat starch would improve taste and flavor of gluten-free rice pasta.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate perception, acceptance and satisfaction of dessert menu in elementary school children. Five hundred students (246 male, 254 female) were recruited at the elementary schools in Seoul. The results show that dessert menus of elementary school lunches are needed to satisfy diverse acceptance and preference levels of children. For dessert items chocolate milk among beverage items, peaches among fruits, chocolate cookies among cookies, piece cake among breads and honey rice cake among rice cakes presented high acceptance scores. Furthermore, fruits, ice creams, juices and cookies were the most liked food items. Taste and health of desserts were important factors in perception of dessert. Rice cake (48.6%), a Korean traditional food, was the most preferred food item, followed by tea punch (31.2%), Korean cracker (10.0%) and Shanja (4.0%). Taste (51.4%) was considered as the most important factor for improvement of dessert, and increasing variety of dessert items (43.4%) was considered as the most important factor affecting demand of dessert. It is suggested that continuous update of school dessert menus is needed to meet consumers' demands and health aspects. Furthermore, Korean traditional desserts might be the key for improving satisfaction in desserts in elementary school lunches.

Frying is the most popular cooking style used in food service institutions in Korea because fried dishes are well accepted by students. However, trans fat contents reduction have recently been required in many foods for health reasons Therefore, alternatives to frying such as oven baking or roasting are being used in many institutions. Steam convection ovens provide dry heat as well as steam so that they can be used to make a wide variety of Korean dishes. In this study, a menu acceptance test was conducted over 2 weeks. Pork, chicken, fish and potato dishes cooked by conventional cooking methods were served for 4 successive days, after which the same dishes were prepared using the oven. Overall, 322 junior high school students evaluated the traditionally cooked foods, while 316 evaluated the oven cooked foods. Comparison of the foods prepared using both methods only revealed a significant difference in the acceptability of foods on the fish menu (p<0.05). Specifically, the acceptance of fried fish was higher than that of the oven baked fish. Additionally, overall acceptance of the menu by males was higher than the acceptance by girls. Furthermore, students who had the preference for special ingredients showed a higher menu acceptance for the menu cooked with those ingredients. On average, approximately 25% of the meal was not consumed and left as plate waste. The portion of the fried fish not consumed was smaller than that of the oven cooked fish, but the portion not consumed did not vary based on cooking method for any other foods evaluated. Overall, it is expected that the oven cooking method will be a good substitute for frying or other cooking method for traditional Korean dishes.
