This study investigated the attitudes of dietitians regarding medicinal cuisine for school meal services. Data was obtained with self-administered questionnaires from 261 dietitians in schools located in Yeoungdong, Gangwon-do. Subjects were distributed into three groups (Elementary=116, Middle=106, High=39) and their awareness, satisfaction, cooking method, and utilization status of medicial cuisine were assessed. Regarding awareness, responders showed highest mean score of 4.57 in perceiving medical cuisines as healthy meal. The preferred cooking method includes medicinal cuisines as noodle, boiled in soy sauce, steaming, roasting, and dessert. Good taste, easy recipe, nutrition, and reasonable price were statistically significant reasons for their preference for medicinal cuisine. However, low preference of students for medicinal cuisine made it difficult to include them into school meals. Methods currently used to serve more medicinal cuisine include the application of different recipes using the same ingredients. The results of this study suggest that having dietitians with a higher preference for medicinal cuisine can serve as a strategy to increase the exposure of school students to medicinal cuisine. The development of recipes applicable to school foodservices by dieticians and the adoption of policies and education programs for medicinal cuisine by the government and associations are recommended.

This study was conducted to investigate whether there were differences in eco-friendly food, home meal replacement (HMR) purchases, and eating-out behavior according to the level of agri-food consumer competence. The data for the study were extracted from main food consumers (n=3,321) in the 2022 Food Consumption Behavior Survey. The competence index was divided into awareness-attitude-practice items, and three groups were classified by competence level. The results showed an agri-food consumer competency score of 70.62, with the highest score for awareness (73.96), followed by practice (69.28) and attitude (66.18). The frequency of purchasing eco-friendly food was higher in the excellent group compared to other groups, and quality and price satisfaction was higher with higher competency (p<0.001). Regarding HMR, the results showed that the shortage group had the lowest HMR consumption rate, and satisfaction decreased as competence decreased (p<0.001). The main reason for eating-out was to enjoy food in all groups (59.0%), followed by a lack of cooking time in the excellent group (15.7%) and hassle with food preparation in the moderate and shortage groups (17.3%, 16.6%) (p<0.001).

밀키트 수요와 시장이 크게 확대되고 있는 시점에서 소비자의 밀키트 구매의도를 파악하고 식품 산업 및 소비자의 올바른 제품 선택을 위한 과학적인 근거자료를 마련하기 위하여 충남 일부지역의 젊은 성인을 대상으로 2021년 2월부터 3월까지 밀키트 구매 경험과 만족도, 인식도, 구매 의도를 분석하고 밀키트 구매 경험과 영양지수와의 관련성을 살펴보았다. 조사대상자 404명 중 남자는 153명 (37.9%)이었으며, 20-24세 181명 (44.8%), 25-29세 109명 (27.0%), 30-39세 114명 (28.2%)이었고, 밀키트 구매 경험이 있는 대상자는 194명 (48.0%)이었다. 밀키트 구매 경험은 남자보다 여자에서 유의하게 높았다 (p < 0.001). 밀키트 구매 금액은 1회 10,000-20,000원 미만이라는 응답이 가장 높았으며, 1달에 1회 미만과 식사용으로 구매하는 비율이 높았다. 밀키트 구매 장소는 대형할인마트가 가장 높았고, 조리의 편리성이 밀키트 섭취의 주된 이유로 나타났으며, 저녁에, 가족과 함께 섭취하는 비율이 높았다. 밀키트의 구매 경험자의 만족도는 5점 만점에 남녀 각각 3.6점, 3.7점이었으며, 재료의 신선함, 포장디자인, 적당한 양에서 여자의 만족도가 남자보다 유의하게 높았다 (p < 0.05). 밀키트 구매 경험자의 밀키트에 대한 인식도는 5점 만점에 남녀 각각 3.5점, 3.7점이었다. 밀키트 구매 의도는 5점 만점에 구매 경험자와 비경험자가 각각 3.8점과 3.2점이었으며 (p < 0.001), 남녀 각각 3.3점, 3.6점이었다 (p < 0.001). 성인 영양지수는 여자의 경우 식행동 항목에서 밀키트 구매 경험자 (45.7점)가 비경험자 (40.7점)보다 유의하게 높았다 (p < 0.05). 본 연구는 대상자의 수가 적고, 성별과 연령 분포가 고르지 못한 제한점을 가지고 있음에도 불구하고 새로운 HMR 유형의 밀키트의 구매행태를 살펴보고 밀키트 구매 경험이 여성의 식행동 영양지수와 유의미한 관련성이 있음을 제시함으로써 앞으로 소비자의 밀키트 구매 행태를 적극적으로 반영하여 궁극적으로 건강지향적인 밀키트 제품을 개발하는데 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
