Effects of adding 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8% freeze-dried kimchi powder (FDKP) on kimchi snack quality were examined. Headspace volatile compounds of 4% FDKP snack, receiving highest overall preference in sensory evaluation results, were analyzed, and 26 compounds were identified, including 13 aldehydes, 3 sulfides, a ketone, an acid, a terpene, and 7 other compounds. Pearson correlation analyses were carried out to determine a correlation between the concentration of FDKP and the amount of each volatile compound. Acetaldehyde, propanal, dimethyl sulfide, dimethyl disulfide, acetic acid, and d-limonene showed correlation coefficients above 0.90; selective ion move (SIM) analysis also showed above 0.97 for highly correlated compounds. Results suggest that these compounds can be used as indicators fur kimchi flavor of FDKP snack.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to examine whether plasma lipid profiles are affected differently by snack kinds with equal calorific values. SUBJECTS/METHODS: We compared a Korean traditional confectionery (dasik) with Western confectionery (cookie) in this regard. Controlled cross-over study consisted of two 3-week snack intake phases and for separating, a 2-week washout period (3-2-3) was carried out with 30 healthy women aged between 40-59 years old. Brown rice based Korean traditional confectionery and wheat flour based Western confectionery were used. The participants consumed either dasik or cookie every day for 3 weeks, providing 93 kcal a day. RESULTS: The total cholesterol (TC) in the dasik group had decreased significantly after 3 weeks (P < 0.05). Furthermore, in the dasik group, reduction in TC and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol were greater than those in the cookie group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Prioritizing functional snacks like dasik improves plasma lipid profiles; this may be useful information for individuals who cannot refrain from snacking.

An extrusion process was to make an onion kimchi snack from rice grit and onion kimchi powder, in an effort to enhance the nutritional value, flavor, and physicochemical properties of the extrudate. This study investigated optimum conditions (moisture content, barrel temperature, and the content of onion kimchi powder) for the production of high-quality rice extrudate products, and measured quality properties (water absorption index, texture, expansion ratio, and color) of rice extrudate to which onion kimchi powder had been added. Onion kimchi powder at 3%, 5%, 7%, and 10% (all w/w) was mixed with rice grit and the mixture then extruded in a twin-screw extruder. The texture of onion kimchi mack became softer as onion kimchi powder level rose, and water absorption ability increased. The expansion ratio and the lightness of extrudates decreased with increases in onion kimchi powder levels. The maximum water absorption index am the minimum hardness were obtained with 10% onion kimchi powder. Rice extrudate with 10% onion kimchi powder was suitable for extrusion cooking md obtained the highest score for overall acceptability by sensory evaluation.

It is said that a mode of dietary behavior changes together with socioeconomic and cultural transformation. Formation of dietary habit of pre-school children influences upon direction of this changes, specially. So, this study was planned to analyst the dietary pattern of pre-school children. A survey was carried out for 3 days of 28 pre-school children with a mean age of 4 years and 3 months. Each child's matter wrote dietary pattern and kinds of food as staple, subsidiary and snack. The results showed that; (1) the average meal frequency a day was 3.1 and interval between meal was 5.1 hours (for breakfast to lunch & lunch to supper) and 12.6 hours (for supper to breakfast), (2) there were 27 different kinds of foods as staple and cereal products consumed the most among those, and 82 different kinds of foods as subsidiary and KIMCHI products were eaten the most rating, (3) the average snack frequency a day was 5.0. There were 76 different kinds of foods as snack, among them cold drink was the best. The present observation suggested that pre-school children had a tendency to take meat regularly, but snack very irregularly, and kinds of foods taken as staple, subsidiary and snack didn't keep the nutritional balance.

The purpose of this study was to analyze effect of nutrition education after executing education nutrition with the nutrition education textbook, reconstructed 12 units, focused on older elementary school children and to evaluate interest and understanding of textbook. The subjects were 4th grade children. The results were as follows. The most interesting lesson contents was 'obesity(16.3%)', and the next were 'food poisoning' (13.3%), 'kimchi'(13.3%), and 'Korean table manners'(10.2%) in the 12 unit. Children who attended education nutrition answered 'interesting'(94.1%), 'understand easily'(97.1%) about the developed textbook. With regard to change in nutrition knowledge after education, the percentage of correct answers was increased in most of question except 'reason of snack' and 'weight-control'. And the total score of nutrition knowledge was risen(p<0.01), because the ratio of correct answer of 'importance of breakfast'(p<0.05) and 'nutrition labeling'(p<0.01) was improved especially. The ratio of desirable snack time 'between lunch and dinner' was higher after education(91.2%) than before(55.2%)(p<0.01). After education, the choice of 'Fruit and vegetable' of which desirable snack food was increased. Both the choice of 'bread' and 'fast food', a factor of oversupply calorie, was decreased. And after education, the percentage of sound snack place 'home' was improved. In regard of a meal environment, the percentage of 'every wash hand before eating' is 65.1% and there is scarcely change after education. Before education, children answered 'use it rightly'(82.4%) about 'how to eat with spoon and chopsticks', but it is lower after education. The ratio of 'leave food sometimes or always' is 47.1% before education, and the ratio of leftover food tend to decreased in school lunch. Relate to reason of leftover, the percentage of 'because of hate food' tend to decrease. This results suggests that the activity-centered nutrition education can help to change food behaviors and increase nutrition knowledge level of school children.

To analyze the dietary behavior and food preference of Korean youth, we surveyed 140 elementary school 6th grade students and 154 high school first grade students in Youngnam Provinces. The average height and weight for the elementary school students were 153cm and 45.3kg for boys and 153.4cm and 44.6kg for girls. The body types depending on the body mass index(BMI) were 45.7% for under-weight, 47.1% for standard, 3.6% for overweight and 3.6% for obesity. The average height and weight for the high school students were 172.5cm and 64.5kg for boys and 160.1cm and 51.7kg for girls. The body types depending on the BMI were 11.0% for under-weight, 70.8% for standard, 13.0% for overweight and 5.2% for obesity. In their food preference, they preferred one-dish food to main dishes and rice with cereals was more popular among high school students. There were higher standard scores in fruit, snack, fried, and Kimchi dishes and high school students showed a high preference especially for snack and fried foods. The Kimchi dishes were more popular among elementary school students and they showed high scores in those dishes regardless of how they were cooked. There was the lowest preference for Korean vegetable salad and the highest for food cooked with meat In conclusion, a difference was found in the food preference of elementary school and high school students and the nutrient intake of elementary school students was lower than that of high school students. Therefore, elementary schools should provide proper nutritional education for students.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to investigate the differences of sodium intake in the diet according to the kind of meal, food group, and dish group. Methods: A dietary survey was conducted using the 24-hour recall method from April to May, 2009. The study subjects consisted of 701 elementary and 1,184 middle school students in the Jeju area. Mean sodium intake and the percentage contribution of meals and each dish and food group to daily sodium intake were calculated. Results: The daily sodium intake was 2,868.4 mg and 3,032.5 mg in elementary and middle school students. For elementary school students, breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack provided approximately 18.0%, 35.1%, 32.8%, and 14.1% of total daily sodium intake, and for middle school students, 15.3%, 40.2%, 29.1%, and 15.5%, respectively. Major food groups for sodium intake were spices (1,252.5 mg in elementary, 1158.0 mg in middle school students), vegetables and their products (409.0 mg, 495.6 mg), cereal and grain products (322.4 mg, 647.8 mg), and fish and shellfish (255.3 mg, 336.6 mg). Except cereal and grain products, sodium intake of the food groups mentioned above was greater at lunch and dinner than at breakfast and snack. And, the elementary and middle school students obtained 5.9% and 9.8% of total daily sodium intake from cereal and grain products at snack. Among the 29 dish groups, the highest dish groups contributing to dietary sodium intake were soup and stew and tang/jeongol, consuming 19.8% (elementary school students) and 25.4% (middle school students) of daily sodium intake. The following major dish groups contributing to dietary sodium intake, in order, were kimchi, seasoned vegetables, grilled dish, stir-fried dish, and $\grave{a}$ la carte. By meals, the percentage of sodium intake from soup, kimchi, stew, fried dish, and stir-fried dish at school lunch was high, from noodles, grilled dish, and $\grave{a}$ la carte at dinner, and from bakery/snacks and noodles at snack. Conclusion: Sodium intake from the various side dishes at school lunch was high and noodles and bakery/snacks were popular snack foods in elementary and middle school students in Jeju area. In order to lower the intake of sodium, students need to be educated about eating less soup and choosing better snacks.
