Objectives: Rapid economic growth and industrial development in South Korea have led to a great change in dietary patterns, and the use of convenience foods has continuously increased. This study was performed to evaluate the energy and nutrient contents of convenience foods at convenience stores near the universities as a meal. Methods: Data was collected by visiting 22 convenience stores near some universities in Chungbuk and Seoul and by checking nutrition labels on convenience foods at the stores. Data of a total of 338 food items were collected, and divided into five groups according to the food categories; rice products (n=156), noodles (n=101), burger/sandwiches (n=62), Tteokbokkis (n=11), and dumplings (n=8). Further, rice products, noodles, and burger/sandwiches were divided into subcategories. Results: The proportion of calories from carbohydrates was high in the rice products and tteokbokki, while the rate of calories from fat was high in burger/sandwiches and dumplings. Among the rice products, the proportion of carbohydrate calories was high in a one-dish food, rice with soup, and triangular kimbap, while the proportion of calories from fat in lunch boxes was high. In the noodles category, ramyeon and spaghetti had a high percentage of fat calories, while udong had a high percentage of carbohydrate calories. The ratio of the calorie content in relation to the KDRIs for adults aged 19-29 years, lunch boxes provided about 1/3 of daily required energy. However, the amount of calories as one meal was not enough for other types of rice products except for lunch boxes. Ramyeon was high in calories, fat, and sodium, but low in protein content. The burger/sandwiches had a high percentage of fat and sodium. Conclusions: Our results showed several nutritional limitations of convenience meals in convenience stores according to the type of food. Therefore, college students should limit excessive intake of convenience meals on a regular basis in order to avoid unhealthy food intake patterns. Our results demonstrate the need for educating college students with regard to checking nutrition labels when choosing convenience meals in order to facilitate the selection of food items that contribute to a balanced diet.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The commercial foodservice industry in Korea has shown rapid growth recently. This study examined Korean adults' consumption of commercially-prepared meals based on where the food was prepared. SUBJECTS/METHODS: Data from a 24-hour dietary recall of the 2001 and 2011 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys were analyzed. A total of 10,539 subjects (n = 6,152 in 2001; n = 4,387 in 2011) aged 19-64 years were included for analysis. Commercially-prepared meals were classified into four food source groups based on where the food was prepared: Korean restaurants, Chinese/Western/Japanese restaurants, fast-food restaurants, and retail stores. Subjects' energy intake, including the amount and proportion of calories, was examined for each food source. The analysis was also conducted by gender for age-stratified groups: 19-29, 30-49, and 50-64 years old. RESULTS: Korean adults' energy intake from commercially-prepared meals increased in the amount of calories (551 kcal to 635 kcal, P < 0.01), but not in the proportion of daily calories (27% to 28%) from 2001 to 2011. The most frequent food source of commercially-prepared meals was Korean restaurants in both years. The amount and proportion of calories from retail stores increased from 83 kcal to 143 kcal (P < 0.001) and from 4% to 7% (P < 0.001), respectively, during the same period. Males aged 30-49 years (34%) and females aged 19-29 years (35%) consumed the highest proportion of daily calories from commercially-prepared meals in 2011. CONCLUSIONS: Korean adults consumed about one-fourth of their energy intake from commercially-prepared meals. In particular, males aged 30-49 years and females aged 19-29 years consumed more than one-third of their energy intake from commercially-prepared meals. Korean restaurants played a significant role in Korean adults' energy intake. Retail stores increased influence on Korean adults' energy intake. These results could be useful for developing health promotion policies and programs.

Food and nutrition sites are the major portion of the health information sites. For the point of public health it is very important to secure validity and reliability of information on those web sites. Therefore, in this study we would like to identify problems when acquiring recipes in web sites by analyzing and reviewing recipes in web sites. To investigate Korean food recipes provided in web sites, domestic search engines such as Simmani, Naver, Hanmir, and Empas and foreign search engines such as Yahoo Korea, Lycos and Altabista Korea were used. Searchs were done using 'recipe' and 'Joribeob (cooking method)' from March 20, 2002 to June 20, 2002. Informations in each sites were reviewed and analyzed Results are as follow; When classifying 46sites searched with 'Joribeob' by the information provider, 24sites were individual, 16sites were corporate and 6sites were others. When searching 'recipe', total 12,654recipes were returned. Out of them, individual provided 2,581sites(20.4%), corporate provided 7,249sites(57.3%), and others provided 2,824sites(22.3%). 9,979(78.9%) recipes out of 12,654recipes were proved to be appropriate as Korean food. Classifying recipes by dish group, vegetables 11.7%, soups and hot soups 9.7%, stew and casseroles 8.2%, pan cakes 8.0%, stir fried foods and skewers 7.8%, rice 7.2%, hard boiled food 7.1%, steam 6.4%, noodles and mandu 5.3%, Kimchi 4.5%, fried 4.1%, and porridge 3.7% in order. 21.1% of recipes were not appropriate as Korean food but provided as Korean Food. The proportion of individual as the information provider were higher than that of enterprises. Recipes from enterprises were based on food and nutrient information and more reliable. However, there were some cases that they provided the same amount of ingredients with different calories or provided the same calories with different ingredients. Additionally, depending on sites, they provided different calories even for the same recipe. There were some cases that the calories provided on the site were too high or too low, for the suggested amount of ingredients and serving size. Recipes those provide amount of calories were evaluated using the nutrient analysis program. Calculated calories and provided calories on the Web were compared together. There are difference between two valus. With these results, it may lead misuse of recipe by those who need accuracy in diet such as patients or who are interested in recipe information for academic purposes. These results could be used as basic materials to improve quantity and quality of recipes in the future. Also, to improve the accuracy of recipies for Korean foods in the web sites, there should be some systems to monitor and let internet users know monitoring results.

The objectives of this study were to conduct preliminary research to investigate full course meals in Korean style restaurants in order: i) to analyze the nutrient contents of full course meals per servings, and ⅱ) by analyzing the above, to examine the amount and the quality of the foods served in the full course meals by Korean style restaurants in Changwon. A total of 20 restaurants in Changwon participated in this study, and two investigators visited there, consumed and investigated it. A key finding was that restaurant patrons tended to overconsume nutrients as compared to the Korean Recommended Daily Allowance(RDA), and restaurants generated large amounts of food wastes due to the excess food served. Other findings were as follows: 1) 1,821.2Kcal were served, 1,052.6Kcal were consumed and 768.6Kcal which is equivalent to 1/3RDA were thrown away on average. 2) The average carbohydrate:protein:fat(CPF) ratio of caloric nutrients was 42:27:31. 3) The correlation between the consumed and unconsumed calories was r=0.661 and the correlation between served and unconsumed calories was r=0.819. Both consumed and unconsumed calories were closely related to the served calories. 4) The result of the research showed that mean INQ in most nutrients was higher than 1.0, especially INQ in unconsumed food is mostly higher than INQ in provided and consumed food. 5) The unconsumed food and the meal prices were closely correlated in terms of price loss. These findings indicate the Korean style full course meals consisted of a high-protein, high-fat and high-caloric intake, which is similar to a westernized caloric nutrient pattern. They should also be strongly encouraged to play an active role in improving their customers’ nutritional status, as well as reducing the restaurants wastage of food. Lastly, further research should be conducted to improve the quality of the menus in Korean restaurants.

This study analyzed in nutrient contents changes of adult's favorite foods between March 2019 and July 2020 after policy implementation nutrient-poor foods based on special act on safety control of adult's dietary life in Korea. Among adult's favorite foods manufactured or sold in 2020 as well as 2019, calories and key nutrients in breads, ice creams and pizzas were improved in comparison to those in the other food groups. However, most of the changes in calories or key nutrient contents exist. The newly introduced candies, breads showed slightly greater improvements in calories and key nutrient contents than in 2019. On the other hand, some negative changes were found in newly introduced chocolates in comparison to previous ones. Overall, policy implementation on foods seemed to induce changes in nutrient contents of adult's favorite foods. In particular, nutrition education is reported to have a positive impact on adult's frequency and preference for processed foods, and more systematic and continuous nutrition education measures should be devised to help adult as consumers selectively purchase healthy foods. This research is meaningful in that it is the first study to analyze the quality changes of adult's favorite foods since the high-calorie and low-nutrient food management policy.

식품에서 탄수화물은 우리 몸에 열량을 주는 역할 외에도 맛을 부여하는 중요한 기능을 한다. 그러나 열량의 과잉 섭취로 인한 비만과 그로 인한 질병들로 인하여 저열량 탄수화물 소재에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 폴리덱스트로스와 당알코올은 각각 2.0 kcal/g, 2.4 kcal/g의 열량을 가지므로 식품 내의 다른 탄수화물을 대체하여 사용하면 그만큼 열량을 줄일 수 있는 소재이다. 폴리덱스트로스는 저열량 소재라는 장점 이외에도 식이섬유원으로 널리 사용될 수 있어 열량을 줄임과 동시에 식이섬유를 보충할 수 있다. 당알코올은 설탕을 대체할 수 있는 감미를 가지면서도 당류에서 제외됨으로써 정부의 당류 저감 정책에 부합할 수 있는 소재이다. 또한 폴리덱스트로스와 당알코올은 열이나 산 등에 쉽해 분해되지 않고 안정한 특성이 있어 식품제조공정에 영향을 받지 않고 사용할 수 있다.

Pork cutlets contains high amounts of fat and calories even though they are highly preferred among young consumers in Korea. We investigated the use of an oven cooking method using brown crumbs to replace the frying method for the preparation of pork cutlets. The average contents of fat and calories in oven cooked pork cutlets were reduced by 77.5% and 35.2% respectively, when compared to cutlets prepared using the frying method (p<0.05). These results demonstrate that pork cutlets prepared by oven cooking may be helpful to people who require dietary treatment. In a color experiment, the surface color of oven cooked pork cutlets showed no difference when brown crumbs were used (p>0.05). In an experiment for texture characteristics, the level of hardness for the oven cooked cutlets showed no difference from that of the fried cutlets (p>0.05), and the degree of batter separation also did not differ. The oven cooking method demonstrated a 65.6% improvement in pork cutlet production, and is therefore appropriate for a food service that must serve many customers in a limited time.
