This study was performed to investigate the food preference trends of the children according to age increase and change of the times. The subjects were 1,450 children who are fifth grade of primary school and 2,000 juveniles who are senior high school in 1993. This survey data were compared with the Food preference study of the primary school aged children in 1987.' The results of this study can be summarized as follows 1. State of the general taste The subject had a high preferences to bulgogi(roast beef), panbroiled cuttlefish, steamed egg, fried sausage and donuts among the all sorts of 165 principal and subsidiary foods. But, fried beef liver, pancake, sweet potato with syrup, spinach soup and boiled rice with red bean didn't suit for their taste. Compared with survey data done in 1987, in present study significantly increased preferences to steamed food, pan frying and parboiled vegetables were shown. Particularly, food preference was changed with the cooking methods rather than materials. 2. Differences of the preference according to change of the times In present study, except the rice cakes preferences to all sorts of foods were improved and markedly increased preferences to steamed food, parboiled vegetables and mixed with seasonings were observed. Compared with 87's study deviation of the preference to cooking materials was decreased considerably. Preferences to salty tasted foods as like as stew and salted food were low no better than before. 3. Changes of preference according to age increase Among the principal foods, increased preferences to boiled rice and cereals were shown but to one-dish meal, bread and rice cake were decreased. Among the subsidiary foods, significantly decreased preference to frying was observed. Irrespectively of the cooking methods, preferences to fish and vegetables were improved. And in the frying and panbroiled foods, deviation of preferences to cooking materials were considerable, which means the fixation of food behavior.

The research focused on evaluating the impact of olive leaf water extract (OEx4) on the microbiological and physical properties of egg gels, as well as its ability to protect the rheological properties of gel throughout freeze-thaw cycles. Egg gels with added OEx4 at concentrations of 0.03% and 0.1% (w/w) a to minced whole egg and egg white were frozen at -20℃ for five days, undergoing three freeze-thaw cycles. The weight of the OEx4-egg gels was constant throughout the cycles, in contrast to the control egg gels without OEx4, which displayed accelerated thawing weight loss. The OEx4-egg gels maintained their water-holding capacity, breaking strength, elasticity, and viscosity, but the control egg gels saw a decrease. Using scanning electron microscopy, it was discovered that the OEx4-egg gels even after freezing retained a structure similar to their non-frozen condition, in contrast to the control egg gels. These findings suggest that OEx4 imparts freeze-resistance to egg gels. Additionally, OEx4 application improved the interaction between non-polar groups and water molecules, in egg gels leading to a rise in pH. Then, OEx4 has been found to effectively hinder the proliferation of bacteria while also minimizing the occurrence of gel contamination in eggs subjected to the freeze-thaw process. Therefore, OEx4 proves to be beneficial in enhancing the physical, chemical and microbiological properties of frozen processed poultry products.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of the tenderness for the vacuum chilled, the air-frozen or the rechilled Holstein beef loin. The vacuum packaged beef was stored at 1$^{\circ}C$ and the air-packaged beef was stored at -20$^{\circ}C$ for 60 days. The rechilled beef was restored for 3 days at 1$^{\circ}C$ by using the vacuum chilled or the air-frozen beef. Hardness and chewiness of the vacuum chilled beef were better than those of the air-frozen beef. Hardness and chewiness were improved significantly(p＜0.05) after the 40 days storage for the vacuum chilled beef, but there was no significant improvement for the air-frozen beef during the 60 days storage. By the rechilling process, tenderness and myofibrillar fragmentation index of the vacuum chilled and air-frozen beef improved. Especially those were improved significantly(p＜0.05) in the vacuum chilled beef after the 20 days storage, and in the air-frozen beef after the 40 and 60 days storage.

A new and improved analytical method involving alkaline pyridine extraction was proposed to quantity chlorophyll contents in syrup and candy type chlorella products. The performance of analytical method was compared with the conventional Korea food standard method which involves acetone extraction. The application of sonication chlorophyll extraction form alkaline pyridine sample was also explored. The analytical procedure was validated by evaluating accuracy, precision and reproducibility. For liquid samples, the pyridine extraction method showed higher accuracy and precision compared to acetone extraction method. The CV values of pyridine extract method and the acetone extraction method were 18.82 and 40.0, and the accuracy to theoretical values were 106.3% and 78.1%, respectively. When sonication extraction method was applied to the pyridine extraction, the precision was improved as indicated by reduced CV values from 18.82 to 11.36. The improved performance of pyridine-sonication extraction was also validated by recovery test of chlorophyll that was previously spiked into the sample matrix. For solid matrix, the pyridine extraction method showed better performance in analysis of chlorophyll in solid food matrix (CV = 7.05) compared to conventional acetone extraction method (CV = 30.0). However, the accuracy to theoretical values of pyridine and acetone extraction methods only showed only 62.7% an 40%, respectively. The relatively low accuracy of pyridine extraction method (62.7%) was improved to 99.4% by applying additional sonication extraction method. The improved performance of applying additional sonication extraction was validated by standard deviation, CV values and accuracy to theoretical values.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the dietary behavior of people with type 2 diabetes mellitus and to improve their quality of life through medical nutrition therapy. The subjects were 38 persons with type 2 diabetes mellitus visiting a public health center to participate in a dietary education program from Jun, 2003 to Nov. 2003 in Daegu, Korea. The interviews were tape-recorded and analyzed attitude, knowledge, and awareness of patients by focus group interview. Most of the patients were mainly dependent on drug therapy and had little experience of diet education. Barriers to dietary practice adherences were limitations in food selection, lack of will and feel of burden. Barriers to follow guidelines were lack of self-control, confliction with food habits of their family, accessibility, economical problems, fear for the change after dietary practice, food difficulties in meal distribution and difficulties for eating out. After 4 weeks of intensive nutrition education, fasting blood sugar levels were decreased and postprandial and waist circumference were significantly decreased in all patients and 26.9% of patients were under decreased oral hypoglycemic agent dosage due to improved blood sugar level. dietary knowledge of subjects were greatly improved in such items as dietary intake, saturated fat, HbA1C, ideal body weight, and waist circumference.

These studies were conducted to investigate the effect of dietary supplemental lincomycin at different food waste supplements on performance of broiler chicks. Diets were based corn, soybean meal and contained 3,100kcal/kg ME, 21% CP for the rest two weeks. Three levels of dietary lincomycin(LM; 0,2.2, 4.4mg/kg) and food waste(FW; 0, 7.5, 15%) were respectively inclusion in both experiments. In experiment 1, weight gain of birds fed 4.4mg/kg LM was significantly higher than no LM treatments(P<0.05). It tended to increase in 7.5% food waste treatment compared to that of control, but was not significantly different. FCR of chicks fed 2.2mg/kg LM supplement was significantly improved compared to that of other treatments Chicks fed food waste showed inferior FCR to control as dietary FW level increased(P<0.05). There was no significance in blood components among treatments. In experiment 2, weight gain of chicks fed 15% FW exhibited higher weight gain than that of other treatments. As FW supplement increased, the feed intake increased significantly(P<0.05) There was no significance in blood components except serum calcium. The results of these experiments indicated that hicks fed 4.4mg/kg LM supplements maximized growth rate of all treatments, and improved FCR in 2.2mg/kg LM.

Purpose: This study measured the consumer-perceived importance and satisfaction of eco-friendly food selection factors and performed the IPA to derive the factors that need to be maintained, reinforced, improved and selectively improved or where investment need to be minimized, and thus provide some clues for eco-friendly food companies' sales growth. Research design, data and methodology: To this end, efficient questionnaires of a total of 312 respondents who answered the questions about the importance of and the satisfaction with 20 selection attribute factors of eco-friendly foods were returned, and then, paired-samples t-test and IPA by all respondents, gender, age and incomes were conducted. Results: The analysis showed that a maintenance/reinforcement strategies planned by companies are required for some factors including 'safety' and 'product quality' at the first quadrant, while active improvement strategies are required for others including 'price' and 'flavor' at the second quadrant. Conclusions: The findings show that different marketing strategies should be established for each consumer who often purchase eco-friendly foods, and that more effective and efficient performance of eco-friendly food companies may be acquired by establishing and operating active improvement strategies.
