In this paper, we describe fire risk of Kimchi refrigerator. The Kimchi refrigerator has been widely spread and used starting from the first half of 2000 and recently fire accidents caused by the Kimchi refrigerator emerged as social concern. In particular, in products of a specific manufacturer, it is not an environmental factor, but a characteristic that the fire is caused due to a defect of the product itself is shown. These features are judged to be formed by unique defects regardless of external factor by forming electrically arc mark in the relay element. In this paper, we analyzed the cause of the fire occurring in the Kimchi refrigerator and finally confirmed the characteristic that the fire occurred mainly in the relay element due to insufficient capacity of the relay element. Therefore, when a fire occurs in a product of the same maker as the Kimchi refrigerator mentioned in this paper, it is always judged that the inspection of the relay element should be carried out.

Various salt concentrations (1.0%, 1.3%, 1.6%, 1.9%, and 2.1% labeled as sample A, B, C, D, and E, respectively) were investigated for microbial diversity, identification of Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) in salted kimchi cabbage, prepared under laboratory conditions. These samples were stored at 4°C for 5 weeks in proper aluminum-metalized pouch packaging with calcium hydroxide gas absorber. A culture-independent method known as polymerase chain reaction - denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis was carried out to identify LAB distributions among various salt concentration samples that had identified 2 Weissella (W. confusa and W. soli), 1 Lactobacillus (Lb. sakei), and 3 Leuconostoc (Lc. mesenteroides, Lc. lactis, and Lc. gelidum) in the overall kimchi samples. The pH, titratable acidity, viable cell counts, and coliform counts were not affected by salt variations. In order to assess sensory acceptance, the conducted sensory evaluation using a 9-point hedonic scale had revealed that samples with 1.3% salt concentration (lower than the manufacturer's regular salt concentration) was more preferred, indicating that the use of 1.3% salt concentration was acceptable in normal kimchi fermentation for its quality and safety. Despite similarities in pH, titratable acidity, viable cell counts, coliform counts, and LAB distributions among the various salt concentrations of kimchi samples, the sample with 1.3% salt concentration was shown to be the most preferred, indicating that this salt concentration was suitable in kimchi production in order to reduce salt intake through kimchi consumptions.

기업적으로 생산하는 공장의 김치를 시료로 하여 5, 15, $25^{\circ}C$에서 발효하면서 화학적 성분과 함께 젖산균과 효모의 변화를 관찰하였다. 발효온도에 따른 숙성김치의 적정 pH인 4.2에 도달하는 시간은 $25^{\circ}C$의 경우 2일, $15^{\circ}C$의 경우 3일, $5^{\circ}C$의 경우 23일 소요되었다. 젖산량으로 산출한 최적 산도는 pH와 정확하게 일치하지는 않았다. 총균수는 발효온도 $25^{\circ}C$의 경우 2일, $15^{\circ}C$는 6일, $5^{\circ}C$는 12일에 최고 수준에 달하였다. 김치 발효동안 동정된 Lactobacilli 종은 L. brevis, L. plantarum, L. acidophilus와 3종의 미확인 균종이었다. L. brevis, L. plantarum은 $15^{\circ}C$, $25^{\circ}C$ 발효 온도에서 발효 시작에서부터 종결까지 일정수준을 유지하면서 나타났다. Leuconostoc종은 L. mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides로 동정되었다. L. mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides는 발효 초기에는 균수가 증가하였다가 모든 발효온도에서 발효 후기에는 급격하게 감소하였다. Pediococcus종은 P. pentosaceus와 1종의 미확인종으로 밝혀졌으며 발효 초기에는 증가하였다가 후에 감소하였다. 발효 중기에 나타난 Streptococcus faecium subsp. casseliflavus와 Aerococcus viridans 또한 김치 발효중에 동정된 균이다. Crytococcus laurenti는 모든 발효온도에서 동정되었고 발효초기에 나타난 후 사라졌다가 $25^{\circ}C$ 발효온도에서만 10일 후에 다시 나타났다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the perception and utilization of salted seafood in Korean women. We also asked them about their opinions on how to increase the production range of popular salted seafood. Data were collected from 1,137 women and were analyzed with SAS 9.1 program. Women aged between 40 and 59 had higher positive perception of salted seafood than women aged between 20 and 39. The older age group (i.e. 40 to 59) believed that the production of salted seafood, such as like as Kimchi and soy sauce, should be globalized because of their taste and nutritional value. However, the younger age group (i.e. 20 to 39) had negative perceptions of salted seafood because of their unhygienic production and excess amount of salt. Women aged 50 and over used salted seafood frequently as a side dish or seasoning to make Kimchi, stew, or soup. The younger age group preferred to purchase a small package (200g or less) of salted seafoods from the grocery store instead of preparing it themselves. When purchasing salted seafood, they considered the taste, manufacturer, and expiration date. Finally, all interviewees agreed on the importance of salted seafood as part of traditional Korean cuisine, and wanted to see further local development. However, manufacturing and packaging processes need to be standardized, and hygiene and nutritional contents should be improved in order to achieve good quality local production. To succeed and develop high quality salted seafood, younger consumers need to be enticed with better nutritional value, taste, and hygienic production. Furthermore, the production range of popular salted seafood needs to be expanded beyond Kimchi and Soy Sauce. Hence new recipes are needed.

The principal objective of this study was to assess dietitian's awareness and performance with regard to food suppliers' selection guidelines and purchase guidelines for the receipt of safe food materials. A questionnaire was administered to 203 dietitians working at an elementary school in Gyeonggi North province, and 190 responses were ultimately returned. Excluding responses with incomplete answers and significant missing data, 161 responses(79.3%) were ultimately utilized for data analysis. We determined that meat/poulty and seafood were purchased mainly by manufacturer's branch(59.8% and 78.3%), and processed food and kimchi were generally purchased by producer's cooperatives(47.7% and 44.9%). 78.3% of the contracts were made via informal purchasing and the frequency of contracts was less than 3 times per year(53.4%). Market studies were conducted individually(54.7%), and by group(47.2%). Dietitian and parents volunteered(50.3%) or dietitians, and school and foodservice staffs(45.3%) participated - together in receiving and inspection. School contracted with $4{\sim}5$(39.1%) and $6{\sim}8$ food suppliers(29.8%). Dietitians(42.3%) or school councils(40.2%) evaluated food suppliers once per semester(60.2%). The majority of dietitians(96.3%) conducted sanitary education for food suppliers once per semester (68.3%). All 13 guidelines which were usually used to evaluate food suppliers were thought to be important(more than 4) based on a 5 scale(1: never important, 5: very important). Among them, 'sanitary storage status of food products(4.85)', 'have a chill car(4.83)' and 'proper control of refrigerator, freezer and storage room(4.81)' were the most crucial guidelines. As dietitians evaluated food supplier's-observances of 13 guidelines, 'have a chill car(4.89)', 'hold medical examination of employees(4.89)' and 'hold liability insurance for handling product(4.80)' were fulfilled relatively well. The guidelines for conducting education for their employees(4.45) and keeping their establishment and equipment sanitary(4.79) were important, but were not observed well(3.39 and 3.37). Additionally, the difference between the importance and the observance score of the 'HACCP certificate' were fairly significant(4.44 and 3.54). Dietitians tended to report that purchasing management related to the removal of foodborne illness factors(4.71), return confirmation(4.50) and purchase specification(4.32) were important. The difference between importance and performance was highest in the process of changing food suppliers when the contracts were violated more than three times. Dietitian's age, education work experience and employment type had no observable effects on how important they considered purchase management to be, but their work experience significantly affected performance in terms of the removal of foodborne illness factors(p<0.05). As supplier management is the most critical factor, it is clearly desirable to educate suppliers at specialized training centers and to supervise suppliers in accordance with the established sanitary guidelines.

국내 나트륨 평균 섭취량은 2017년 3,477 mg으로 2010년 4,876 mg 대비 71.3% 수준으로 감소하였다. 나트륨 섭취량 감소 추이에서 생산 및 조리 주체별 구분에 따른 기여도에서는 산업체에서 생산된 식품과 가정에서 조리한 식품으로부터의 나트륨 섭취량 감소 비율이 단체급식과 외식업체에서 조리하여 제공하는 식품으로부터의 나트륨 섭취량 감소 비율보다 컸다. 식품군과 음식군으로부터 나트륨에 가장 많이 기여하는 요인은 생산 및 조리 주체별로 다르게 나타났는데, 산업체 생산에서는 김치류에서, 가정과 단체급식에서는 조리한 국/탕/찌개/전골류에서, 외식업체에서는 조리한 면/만두류였고, 나트륨 기여도가 가장 높았던 이들 식품 및 음식들은 연도에 따른 나트륨 섭취량 감소 폭도 가장 큰 것으로 나타났다. 특히 가정에서 조리한 국/탕/찌개/전골류와 면/만두류의 나트륨 함량 감소 폭은 외식업체 및 단체급식에서 조리한 음식보다 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 나트륨 섭취량에 주로 기여하는 주요 식품군과 음식군의 종류는 연도가 증가함에 따라 나트륨 급원 식품이 특정 식품 위주에서 다양한 식품으로 확대되는 경향을 보여, 향후 나트륨 저감 대상 품목에 대한 다양한 접근이 요구됨을 시시하였다. 국내 나트륨 섭취에 기여하는 식품은 가공식품을 완제품 형태로 섭취하는 것 외에도 조리 단계에서 식재료로 다양하게 사용하는 비율이 높으므로 본 연구에서 제안한 생산 및 조리 주체별로 식품군 또는 음식군을 분류하여 나트륨 섭취 주요 급원 및 감소 요인을 파악한 결과는 저염 식품의 개발 및 생산, 저염 섭취와 관련된 식생활 교육 등과 같은 분야의 기초 자료로 활용될 것으로 기대된다. 향후 식문화를 고려한 다양한 식품 분류체계 방법을 마련하여 나트륨 섭취량 분석 및 저감 전략 수립에 활용하는 것이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
