The purpose of this study was to suggest a moving-forward solution to the menu development of traditional foods from the analyses results, by surveying 180 college students with food majors in order to identify what effects the acceptability of traditional foods bring to menu development and their correlations. As the result showed, the acceptability of Korean traditional foods was lowering generally due to the popularity of light meals like fast food. Nevertheless, college students with majors of foodservice, cooking and foods than the students with other majors chose one-dish meals and the kinds of soup and pot stews as a favorite food more in terms of curiosity and taste, by which they were implied to have been positioned as popular foods as such. Accordingly, in order to raise the acceptability of traditional foods among other students more when the college students with food majors get related jobs in future, the development of related curricula mainly focused on simplification and standardization in menu combination is more weighted than anything else.

It is very important that the development of rural tourism resources and contents for agritourism increases rural household income and vitalizes local economy. In this sense, accelerating the rural traditional food materials into resources plays significant roles for the local economy. The farm-restaurant project, as a part of a development of rural traditional foods can not only help popularize the rural food-culture, but it also promote the consumption of local products by urban customers. It is difficult to manage both types of restaurants which are the dining type and the experience-centered farm restaurants as a farmer. In particular, the managers of the farm restaurants have some operational problems in developing a new menu and an experiential-program using their local farm products. The purpose of this study was to present steps that can be used for the existing menu-improvement and developing new menu processes of the farm restaurants that have been in operation for more than two years. By the purpose of menu developing for a restaurant, this research is designed for the case study. For collecting date for the study, we gained knowledge about the issues concerning menus from in depth interviews with the managers in two subject farm restaurants. The results suggested that a new menu, such as table d'h$\^{o}$te, $\`{a}$ la carte meals, specialties, kids meal, various dressing, are based on solving issues such as a limitation of food materials and the necessity of a kids meal in dining type of farm restaurants. Also, the suggested new menu, such as seasonal specialties and side dishes, are based on solving issues such as urgent development of various experiential programs and necessity of seasonal specialties in experiential type of farm restaurants.

The purpose of this study was to plan a 5-day menu using antioxidant-rich foods (vitamin A. vitamin C, vitamin E, phytochemicals) for a congregate meal program for the elderly and to evaluate the satisfaction of menus. The elderly participated in the congregate meal program at Guro Elderly Welfare Facility during October, 2003 (120 persons / day). The elderly liked yungyangbab, cooked rice with sweet potato and pumpkin, soybean paste soup with chinese cabbage, pan-fried cuttlefish patty with chopped soybean sprout, pan-fried beef patty with tofu and ginseng, fresh vegetable salad and most of desserts.

In recent years, there is remarkable tendency of overconsumption and high calorie intake which may come from a high availability of foods, the increase of food production, processed food, and imported food. This cause chronic diseases such as obesity. high blood pressure inducing heart disease, and diabetics etc. Traditional Korean eating pattern and habit make too much waste of foods and wasting time for the food preparation. The dietary guideline used for the guidance of Korean diet pattern is composed of 'nutrients-ingredient-cooking-meal which is not visualized pattern. Therefore we made up menus in the pattern of meal-cooking-ingredient-nutrient, which is more brief, compact and more visualized pattern. We set 27,000 menus with 600 kcal/meal which is combined with staple meal-main dish-side dish (30 menus of rife meal, 5 menus of bread meal, noodle meal and one serving dish meal). 600 kcal menu is basically for volume of serving per one person according to the experimental cooking and reference. This has several advantages of simple procedure of cooking, easy practice to use menus, and good source of nutritional values. In addition to these, it also provides a new menu to decrease the calorie consumption reducing the risk of chronic disease, to prevent wasting foods, and to help single person.

The objectives of the study were to provide the basis for nutrition education for consumers so that they could select nutritious and balanced fast foods and to promote menu items for fast foods franchisers by addressing nutrition and health. Nine franchisers (3 hamburger, 3 noodles and 3 chicken) were surveyed in terms of their nutritional concern for product development, and 360 consumers were interviewed at 36 fast food chains to assess their perceptions of nutrient adequacy of fast foods. The taste of foods was being addressed most when developing menu items in surveyed franchisers but nutrition and variety of menu were being considered least. Hamburger chain franchisers showed greater nutritional concerns in promoting menu items than noodles or chicken chain restaurants. Their nutritional concerns include utilization of nutritional information as promotion of menu item, providing nutrition information of menu item to consumers, and evaluating nutritional balance of their menu items. As a result of INQ evaluation of combined fast food selected by consumers for a meal, the desirable case of both nutritious and adequate in calorie was 14.7%, nutritious but lack in calorie was 44,1%, adequate in calorie was 24.5%, and undernutritious and lack in calories was 21.6%, 45.7% of snack selected by consumers had more calories than needed for a meal.
