Purpose: This study was performed to evaluate an education program for housewives to reduce sodium intake based on the social cognitive theory. Methods: Housewives (n = 387) received 2 education sessions focused on food purchase and cooking, and completed a questionnaire on their perceptions of environmental, cognitive, and behavioral factors and the stages of behavioral change to reducing sodium intake both before and after the education program. Results: After the education program, the recognition of social efforts for sodium reduction and sodium labeling and experience with low-sodium products increased. Positive expectancies for the prevention of osteoporosis by the reduction of sodium were enhanced while the main barriers in practicing sodium reduction decreased, especially 'interrupting social relationships when dining with others', 'bad taste', 'preference for soup or stew', and 'limited knowledge and skills to practice'. In addition, cognition and nutrition knowledge related to reducing sodium intake were improved on all scores, but the effect on self-efficacy and dietary behavior was limited to only a few items. The percentage of participants in the pre-action stage (including pre-contemplation, contemplation, and preparation stages) for reducing sodium intake decreased from 43.2% before education to 21.5% after education, while that in the action stage increased from 19.6% before education to 43.5% after education (p < 0.001). The education program had the most significant impact on participants who were in the pre-action stage and showed improved scores in all sections. Conclusion: These results suggest that a customized education program for housewives could be an effective tool to reduce sodium intake by improving personal expectancies, cognition, and nutrition knowledge regarding sodium reduction and enabling a greater section of the population to move to the action stage of reducing sodium intake.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the growth of lactic acid bacteria and the self-life of Kimchi prepared with Toha sauce(TK) and different kinds of jeot-kal, a traditional fermented fish sauce. The Kimchi samples were stored for 42 days at 12$\pm$2$\^{C}$. The results were as follows: The pH value was decreased in the order of TK, AK(prepared with fermented anchovy juice), SK(prepared with fermented shrimp) and CK(control), and the acidity was increased in the opposed order. Redox potentials decreased until 4 days of fermentation but increased thereafter. TK showed the lowest value in redox potential as well as the lowest change in the number of yeast; however, it had the highest contents of vitamin C and reducing sugar. The total number of lactic acid bacteria was higher in jeot-kal-added Kimchi than control throughout the fermentation period. In sensory evaluation. AK got the highest score in overall preference in the early stage of fermentation, but TK was preferred in the late stage.

Although the wine industry continues to grow, little empirical research on consumer preferences has been conducted. Thus, our objective was to analyze consumer views on wine attributes. A choice experiment (CE) was designed to detect a marginal willingness to pay for particular characteristics of wine (balance, flavor, color, clarity, and value-for-money). A questionnaire was administered and 286 responses were received. A multinomial logit model was estimated using the maximum likelihood method. The results indicated that balance, flavor, color, clarity, and price were all important to consumers. The CE data revealed that estimates of marginal willingness to pay were 31,899 won/bottle for balance, 23,088 won/bottle for flavor, 3,230 won/bottle for color, and 25,936 won/bottle for clarity. The balance of a wine was most important, and the flavor, clarity, and color were also significant. The results of this work will be of assistance in promoting the domestic wine industry.

This study was conducted to evaluate the quality characteristics of sulgidduck with addition of 0, 1, 3, 5 and 7% turmeric powder. The moisture content of sulgidduck ranged from 33.71% to 37.75. The addition of turmeric powder to sulgidduck tended to decrease the pH value, whereas it did not change $brix^{\circ}$ values of the samples. For Hunter color values, addition of turmeric powder to sulgidduck tended to decrease lightness (L) and increase redness (a) and yellowness (b). For textural characteristics, addition of turmeric powder decreased hardness, whereas adhesiveness and springiness of the samples were unaffected. The addition of turmeric powder to sulgidduk tended to increase gumminess. The addition of turmeric powder to sulgidduk tended to decrease chewiness. In the sensory evaluation, addition of 3% turmeric powder resulted in the best score in terms of taste and overall preference. Therefore, these results suggest that addition of 3% turmeric powder could be applied for making turmeric powder sulgidduk.

Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAFF) and National Fisheries Research and Development Institute (NFRDI) have inspected the hatchery-reared seeds of 22 marine species and 11 freshwater species for aquatic animal diseases in stock enhancement program in 2009. Results showed that total 12 local selfgovernments have been restocking the sea with cultured juveniles. Gyeongsangnam-do, Jeollanam-do, Jejudo and Chungcheongnam-do have a preference for marine species seeds to freshwater species. On the contrary, freshwater species were released mostly in Gyeonggi-do, Jeollabuk-do and Chungcheongbuk-do. In the marine species group, abalone was the most abundant as 24.5%, and then sea cucumber (15.2%), olive flounder (11.5%), swimming crab (5.6%), black sea bream and rockfish (6.8%), rock bream (5.1%), black rockfish (4.6%) and scorpionfish (4.5%) were followed. Crucian carp was the most abundant as 19.4%, and then eel (17.0%), Korean bullhead (12.3%), melanian snail (12.0%), catfish (8.4%) were followed in the freshwater species group. The total number of inspection cases in this study were 1,080 and disqualification cases were 19 by detection of aquatic animals pathogens such as red sea bream iridovirus (RSIV), koi herpesvirus (KHV) or white spot syndrome virus (WSSV).

This study was carried out to develop the intermediate material for its processing product of sea tangle by investigating softening stability of softened sea tangle for storage. The change of softening stability, Avrami (equation) exponent, color and sensory characteristics was examined during storage when hydrophilic softening agent was added to the softened sea tangle. Inclination of the sample added with isomalto oligosaccharide showed the lowest value in relation of ln(E$\_$L/- Et) vs t for four days of storage. Exponent range of Avrami equation was 1.00-1.67 and isomalto oligosaccharide having 1.0 of exponent exhibited the most stable effect in softerness. The sample formulated with isomalto oligosaccharide indicated the lowest value in rate constant and its rigidity was progressed very slowly during storage. The L, a and b value of softened sea tangle during storage was relatively decreased. Color preference, odor, cohesiveness, softerness, process compatibility were revealed to be in best when isomalto oligosaccharide was added. When softening agent was added to the softened sea tangle it showed the positive result in processing compatibility and the available value in intermediate material for its processing product. It was relatively effective on softening stability when isomalto oligosaccharide was added to the softened sea tangle.

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of wine and different meat bones added in brown sauce. Sensory evaluation of brown sauce showed that brown stock and brown sauce made by adding wine and replacing some of veal bones with chicken bones were preferred most, and the brown sauce made by brown stock and burre manie in the ratio of 12:1 was preferred most. Sensory properties of palatability. flavor and gloss were positively correlated with the overall preference. The brown sauce made with wine and some of chicken bones had 77.60% of water content and 1.79% of lipid content, which was the lowest, but its protein content was similar to the others. Whereas the brown sauce made with wine and some of chicken bones gave the darkest color, the one made with some of pork bones and without wine showed the lightest color. The viscosity was the highest in the sauce made with some of chicken bones and without wine. The sauce made with wine showed lower viscosity than the one without wine.

This study was carried out to fortify the antimicrobial activity of yogurt by adding garlic juice to it. A raw garlic bulb was grated and heated with Glycyrrhiza uralensis to improve its antimicrobial activity and palatability. Yogurt was made with 0, 4, 8, and 12% garlic juice, and was evaluated in terms of its lactic starter growth, physico-chemical characteristics, growth inhibitory activity against Staphylococcus aureus KCCM 40510, and sensory characteristics. The garlic juice significantly increased the growth of the yogurt starter (p<0.05), which was highest with the addition of 4% garlic juice. Significant (p<0.05) inhibition of S. aureus KCCM 40510 occurred with the addition of 12% garlic juice. The preference was lowered with the addition of garlic juice, but the addition of 4% garlic juice showed no significant difference (p>0.05). To increase the antimicrobial activity of yogurt with the addition of garlic juice, further studies on the increase in the palatability of garlic juice are necessary.
