Objectives: The purposes of this study were to compare the degree of sodium reduction practice and estimate sodium intake by salty food preference. Methods: Sodium reduction practices, salty food preferences and estimated sodium intake were surveyed for restaurant owners (n = 80), employees (n = 82) and customers (n = 727) at the restaurants participating in the sodium reduction project in Daegu, Korea. Estimated sodium intake was performed by examining sex, age, body mass index (BMI), salty eating habit and dietary behaviors. Results: The degree of sodium reduction practice was significantly higher in salinity meter use (P < 0.001), low salt seasonings (P < 0.001) and efforts to make the foods as bland as possible overall (P < 0.001) in the restaurants participating in sodium reduction project than in homes (P < 0.001). The degree of sodium reduction practice appeared lower in the high salty food preference group than in the low-preference group in such items as efforts to make the foods as bland as possible overall (P < 0.05) and washing the salty taste and then cooking (P < 0.05). The high-preference group showed high-salt dietary behavior, including eating all the soup until nothing was left (P < 0.05) more than the low-preference group, but low-salt dietary behavior included checking the sodium content in processed foods (P < 0 .0 5) less than the low-preference group. The high-preference group was higher in the soup and stew intake frequency than the low-preference group (P < 0.05) and much lower in nuts (P < 0.05) and fruits (P < 0.05) intake frequency. The high-preference group had a higher salty eating habit (P < 0.05), salty taste assessment (P < 0.05) and estimated sodium intake (P < 0.05) than the low-preference group. Conclusions: The present study showed that the salty food preference was strongly associated with lower sodium reduction practice and higher estimated sodium intake.

This study was designed to estimate the sodium intake of preschool children . To determine the sodium intake & excretion of preschool children in Korea, dietary behaviors, anthropometry, intakes of dietary nutrients, urinary sodium excretion and preference for salty foods were measured in 42 preschool children (male 26 , female 16, average6.5 years old) and their mothers. The results are summarized as follows. Mean daily urinary sodium excretion was 52.7 mEq(1,212.1mg). This value did not show remarkable change compared with the other studied that were accomplished in the similarage group for about the last ten years. And the subjects showed lower preference for salty taste than those of elementary school children and adults. Mean daily lower preference for salty taste than those of elementary school children and adults. Mean daily urinary sodium excretion were significantly correlated with the frequency of eating out (p<0.01), potassium intake(p<0.001) and urinary sodium to potassium excretion ratio(p<0.001). But there weren't any correlations with mean daily sodium intake, blood pressure, dietary nutrients intake and the preference for salty taste.

Contents of insoluble(IDF), soluble dietary fiber (SDF), and total dietary fiber(TDF) of 30 foods which are consumed commonly by 80 Koeran male college students were determined by Prosky and colleagues' enzymatic-gravimentric method. Foods with highest intake frequency were rice, Kimch'i, and red pepper powder. TDF, IDF, and SDF contents of rice were 0.96, 0.59 and 0.37g/100g wet wt., respectively and tose of Kimch'i were 3.07, 2.19 and 0.88g/100g wet wt., respectively. Red pepper powder contained high amount of TDF(39.37) and IDF (33.13g/100g wet wt.). The TDF content of the 30 foods ranged from 0.70 to 39.37g/100g wet wt. Red pepper (39.37), dried laver(31.36), and dried sea mustard (37.77g/100g wet wt.) contained high amounts of TDF. The IDF content of the 30 foods ranged from 0.13 to 33.13g/100g wet wt. Red pepper powder (33.13), dried laver(15.55) and sesame(15.43g/100g wet wt.) contained high amounts of IDF. SDF of the 30 foods ranged from 0.01 to 25.66g/100g wet wt. Dried sea mustard(25.66), dried laver(15.81), coffee powder (13.17), and garlic(8.72g/100g wet wt.) were good sources of SDF. % ratio of SDF to TDF of the 30 foods was lower than 50% except soybean curd(94.27%), coffee powder (88.93%), garlic(86.17%), dried sea mustard(67.94%), and dried laver(50.41%). It is recommended to increase intake of seaweeds in order to supply TDF adn SDF properly.

Acculturation may manifest dietary behavioral changes of students from overseas. This study investigated the dietary attitudes, food intakes, and dietary behaviors of 121 Chinese college students residing in Busan, Korea. Using a focus group interview and structured survey, subjects were divided into two groups (SG, LG) based on their self-rated acculturation status. The SG (n=70) and LG (n=51) groups consisted of participants that had resided in Korea for shorter than 18 months versus 18 months or longer, respectively. The SG group was more likely to point out the taste of Korean foods as being too sweet, salty, and spicy but less greasy. A food frequency questionnaire was developed to assess normal intake of Korean ethnic, Chinese ethnic, and common foods. The LG group consumed more Korean foods such as rice cake, dried laver, and radish kimchi but less Chinese foods such as bread glue ball and kidney bean. The LG group consumed more salty and fatty foods and Korean liquors, whereas the SG group consumed more fruits and noodles. Based on the exploratory factor analysis, the SG group showed significantly higher scores for "dietary regularity" but lower scores for "indulgence of unhealthful food" factors. In summation, the LG group became more accustomed to Korean foods and adopted less desirable dietary behaviors compared with the SG group. Findings suggest that the residential period of Chinese college students may be associated with their self-rated acculturation status and food acculturation process, and therefore tailored nutrition education programs are needed to support Chinese students' healthier dietary behaviors and food acculturation process.

The study was designed to observe the correlation between the eating habits and growth development in 1,574 children (3-6 years old) in Kyunggi-do and Seoul, Korea. The eating habits and nutrient intake were determined by mini dietary assessment and food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). 35.6% children had been practicing an unbalanced diets. Children with unbalanced diet consumed less amount of protein source foods (meat, fish, egg, soy products), vegetables and fruits and had irregular meal time, but more of them preferred sweet foods (ice creme, cookies) and carbonated drinks as snack compared with children in balanced diet. 24-35% children consumed energy, iron (Fe), calcium (Ca), Niacin, Zinc (Zn) less than 75% RDA. Energy intake of children with unbalanced diet was not significantly different from those with balanced diet, but they consumed less amount of niacin, Fe, Ca and Zn than those with balanced diet. By using the relative percentage of standard weight-length-index (WLI), 65.7% children was normal weight, 12.9% was underweight, 13.4% was overweight and 7.9% was obese. However, 11.9% of underweight and normal weight children was so called thin obese since their body fat content was greater than 20%. There were 16.8% underweight in children with unbalanced diet and 12.6% underweight in those with balanced diet. Compared to normal weight, the underweight children significantly consumed less amount of milk and its product, high protein foods, fried foods and fruits, but obese children consumed more high protein source foods (meat, fish, egg, etc) and sweet foods. In conclusion, the eating habits of unbalanced meal was prevalent problem in preschool children which resulting in their health risks. Therefore, it would be needed that new approach for nutrition education to improve eating habits in preschoolers.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the amount of sugar from the afternoon snack menu of childcare facilities in Gyeongsangbuk-do. The amount of sugar was analyzed for afternoon snacks provided by childcare facilities between March and April 2016. The snacks provided were the same for processed and non-processed foods at 50.0% respectively. White milk accounted for the largest portion with 26.4%, followed by fruits with 19.9% and grains (sweet potatoes, rice cakes, etc.). It has been confirmed that the larger the facility, the lower the frequency of provision of non-processed foods, and the higher the provision of processed foods (p<0.05). Snacks served as non-processed foods showed the highest frequency of fruits and sweet potatoes. On the other hand, processed foods provided many sugar-rich products, such as liquid yogurt, hot cakes, and cereal, excluding white milk. The average sugar content was highest in processed milk products (13.9 g), followed by white milk (8.6 g), bread and snacks (8.0 g), other (4.6 g), and mixed grains (1.6 g). Of the total 216 snacks, banana flavored milk had the highest sugar content of 27.0 g, followed by strawberry milk (15.0 g) and castella (21.6 g). The findings are expected to be used as basic data for choosing the right snacks provided by childcare facilities and practicing reducing sugar intake.

본 연구는 제주시 지역 일부 초등학교 4 5학년 비만아동 117명 (남자 70명, 여자 47명)과 정상체중아동 117명 (남자 70명, 여자 47명)을 대상으로 일반사항, 체중감량 관련 식행동, 간식 식습관을 조사하였으며, 더불어 24시간 회상법을 이용하여 식이섭취실태를 파악함으로써 초등학교 고학년 학생들의 간식섭취 및 균형 잡힌 영양소섭취를 위한 교육자료 개발을 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였으며, 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 조사대상자의 평균 신장, 체중 및 비만도는 각각 정상체중아동은 143.8 cm, 38.5 kg, -0.42%이며 비만아동은 147.5 cm, 56.6 kg, 35.4%로 모두 체중군에 따라 유의한 차이가 있었으나, 체중군별 열량 섭취량은 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. 하지만 조사대상자의 체중감량 관련 식행동에서 식사량 감소 경험 유무와 살찌는 음식임을 고려하여 섭취하는 비율은 체중군별 유의적인 차이를 보였다. 조사대상자의 총 열량 섭취 열량은 아침, 점심, 저녁, 간식이 각각 289.8 kcal, 569.0 kcal, 499.2 kcal, 325.1 kcal로, 끼니별 열량 섭취 비율은 17.2%, 33.8%, 29.7%, 19.3%로 나타났다. 특히 간식으로 섭취하는 열량은 체중군별 유의적 차이는 없었으나, 특정 간식 음식을 섭취한 아동만을 대상으로 분석하였을 때, 비만군이 정상체중군에 비해 사탕 초콜릿류를 유의적으로 더 많이 섭취하고 있었다. 성별과 체중군별로 간식을 섭취하는 이유로는 공통적으로 '배가 고파서'가 64.1%, '심심해서'는 12% 순으로 나타났다. 간식 섭취 횟수에서 일반 간식의 경우 정상체중군 (2.1회/주)이 비만군 (1.6회/주)보다 자주 섭취하는 것으로 나타났고, 학교나 학원 주변에서 섭취하는 간식의 경우에는 체중군별 차이 (1회/주)가 없었다. 일반 간식과 학교나 학원 주변 간식을 합한 총간식의 섭취 횟수는 정상체중군은 3.1회/주, 비만군은 2.6회/주로 나타났다. 일반 간식에서 자주 먹는 간식 음식은 과일 과일주스, 과자 사탕 초콜릿, 우유 요구르트 순으로 높게 나타났고, 학교나 학원 주변 간식에서는 김밥 삼각김밥 떡볶이 순대, 아이스크림, 과자 사탕 초콜릿의 순으로 높게 나타났으며, 체중군별 간식 선택 음식의 종류에는 유의적 차이가 없었다. 하지만 간식음식을 저열량 고영양 간식과 고열량 저영양 간식으로 구분하고, 간식 음식선택 여부와 섭취 횟수를 고려한 섭취 수준으로 비교하였을 때에는 비만군이 정상체중군보다 저열량 고영양 간식의 섭취수준이 유의적으로 낮게 나타났다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 볼 때 본 제주의 일부 초등학교 5, 6학년 학생들은 체중군별로 비만군이 정상체중군에 비해 체중 감량을 위해 더 노력하지만, 비만군이 정상체중군보다 저열량 고영양 간식을 유의적으로 낮게 섭취하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 고열량 저영양의 부적절한 종류의 간식음식의 섭취는 하루 세끼 식사에 영향을 미치고, 영양 불균형을 초래할 수 있으므로 비만군 뿐만 아니라 정상체중군에서도 올바른 간식 선택 및 식행동 개선을 위한 영양교육이 필요하다고 사료된다. 균형 잡힌 하루 세끼 식사를 충분히 섭취한 후, 부족한 부분을 간식으로 보충할 수 있도록 영양적인 측면과 관련지어 간식 섭취에 대한 적절한 교육이 학교에서 뿐만 아니라 가정연계를 통해 체계적으로 전개되어야 하겠다.

The pyrolytic formation of benzo[a]pyrene during the cooking procedure was analysed in beef, pork, pacific saury, rice, and soybean by HPLC. In raw foods, benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) was not detected or negligible, but it was increasingly formed when foods were boiled (0.010~0.037 ppb) and more dramatically during broiling (0.302~0.851 ppb) in a time dependent manner. Human daily intake of B[a]P in Koreans and cancer risk assessment were estimated based on food consumption per capita and carcinogenic potency of B[a]P. When cooked foods were consumed for entire life time, cancer risk was estimated to bo 1.77$\times$10-6>1.65$\times$10-7>1.32$\times$10-8 by the order of broiled, boiled, and raw foods consumption. These data suggest that broiled foods produce more benzo[a]pyrene than water boiled foods. Thus cooking procedure is an important factor for the formation of carcinogens and needs to bo modified to reduce cancer risk for man.

The purpose of this study was to investigate differences of food preference and nutrient intake of students between elementary school and middle school in the same area and to provide data for better school food service. The subjects were 486 students, third to sixth grade of 3 elementary schools and first to second grade of 1 middle school in Nam jeju gun, Jeju, and the survey was conducted during June 1999. Food preference was assessed using questionnaires and 24-hour food intake was assessed using dietary record method. Data of weight and height were obtained from annual physical examination conducted at schools in May 1999. All the variables were compared among 3 groups in each gender: third and fourth grade elementary school(ES3,4), fifth and sixth grade elementary school(ES5,6), and first and second grade middle school(MS1,2). The results were summarized as follows. The average height, weight and BMI for the 3th grade boys in elementary schools met the national averages, but those of the others are below the national averages. Although general pattern of food preference looked similar among groups, food preference scores were significantly different among groups in 38 kinds foods for boys, and 27 kinds of foods for girls. MS1,2 group showed significantly lower food preference scores for most of foods as compared to those of ES3,4 and ES5,6 in both genders. Students of higher grade took more starch foods such as instant noodle, stewed rice cake and snacks. Average energy intakes of all the groups except MS1,2 girls were lower than recommended dietary allowances(RDA), and average intakes of protein, vitamins B1 and C met RDA, but the other nutrients were taken less than RDA and especially the intakes of iron, calcium and vitamins B2 were poor. Most of nutrients taken by school food service meal provided a major proportion of intakes. In conclusion, students of middle school were more particular about their foods served at school food service and marked lower food preference score than elementary school children and more conscious about their weight and appearance. These points should be reflected in planning food service menu at middle school.
