This study was carried out to examine Koreans preference in mushrooms, their nutritional knowledge of mushrooms as a source of Vitamin D, and five characteristics of six dishes consisting of common dishes and mushroom dishes. The data were collected from 2,777 subjects in various age ranges by means of a survey questionnaire. Variables, such as age, gender, diet quality and the degree of interest in diet were significant factors considered in relation to preference of mushrooms. Adults ate mushrooms because of their healthfulness, but this attibute was not a factor among adolescent students. The level of nutritional knowledge was relatively low and the ratio of "do not know" responses was higher than the ratio of "yes" or "no" . Generally, housewives, elementary school children and those who were healthy, ate floods because of health consciousness, and those who preferred mushrooms had better dietary habits. The characteristics of mushroom dishes, both as main and side dishes, had much more correlation with the factors considered for the subjects than the common dishes and one dish meals, respectively. Dietary altitudes, such as mushroom preference, frequency of mushroom intake and level of nutritional knowledge, were strongly correlated with the characteristics of the six dishes. It has been shown that mushroom dishes were recognized as nutritional, rather than delicious.

This study was carried out to examine Korean housewives' preference in mushrooms, their nutritional knowledge of mushrooms as a source of Vitamin D, and five characteristics of four mushroom dishes. The data were collected from 713 subjects in various age ranges. The housewives ate mushrooms because of their healthfulness. Frequency of eating mushroom was related to preference of mushrooms. Frequency of eating mushroom was also influenced by intake of balanced diet, healthfulness of current diet, and application of nutritional knowledge. Mushroom dishes were considered nutritious (72.4%), easy to purchase (55.7%), easy to cook (63.7%) and expensive (36.3%). Mushroom was also considered superior to other vegetable in nutrition and taste but evaluated inferior to other vegetable in aspects of high price and limitation of variety. Intake of balanced diet, healthfulness of current diet and application of nutritional knowledge were influenced by the level of nutritional knowledge. Korean housewives liked mushroom but they didn't recognized the value of mushroom as a source of Vitamin D well. Introducing various cooking methods and nutritional informations are suggested to use mushroom diversely.

This study is based on the utilization of pine mushroom for processing products by development of pine mushroom Jung-Gwa. The results were summarized as follows: Pine mushroom Jung-Gwa were prepared with four different amounts (20, 30, 40, 50%) of honey. Pine mushroom Jung-Gwa color value was the highest by 20% soaking honey-water product and 40% soaking honey-water product was the lowest. Strength and hardness of 20% soaking honey-water product was the highest. Appearance to product of 50% soaking honey-water was the highest preference by all age of except 20's. The honey content of more and more external appearance preference was became higher. Product of 40% soaking honey-water was best by flavor of pine mushroom Jung-Gwa. A sugary tastes comparison 50% soaking honey water to 40% soaking honey water was not distinction. The texture was appeared a statistically significant difference by products of 20%, 30% soaking honey-water. Product of 20% soaking honey-water was favorite in 20's and product of 30% soaking honey-water was favorite in 30's. In overall preference test for pine mushroom Jung-Gwa of 40% soaking honey water was preferred by all age. Oligosaccharide helped geriatric diseases and cheaper. Thus this study used oligosaccharide but the result was not a statistically significant difference of pine mushroom Jung-Gwa products quality by comparison honey-water to oligosaccharide. Therefore oligosaccharide utilization products was thought worth a lot more by processing price and functional.

Cultivation of brown mushrooms, rather than that of white variants is preferred by Korean mushroom farmers, as the former are resistant to diseases. However, brown mushrooms were cultivated only in selective eco-friendly agricultural farms due to lack of consumer awareness. After providing information about brown mushrooms to respondents through a 1-minute video clip, a survey was conducted on social network service (SNS) to assess recognition and preference for brown mushrooms. A food evaluation was then conducted among 200 people randomly selected from the survey respondents. Most respondents (83%) had not encountered brown button mushrooms previously, and 98% of the respondents were willing to buy these mushrooms because they were "curious about its taste" (44%). In the food evaluation, 32% of the respondents found the brown button mushrooms to be delicious, 28% reported a good flavor, and 31% described a good texture. In addition, we confirmed that 95% of respondents were interested in purchasing brown mushrooms after sampling. Therefore, in the present study, we evaluated public perception, preference, and taste of brown button mushrooms, and confirmed that availability of information on nutrition and benefits s of mushroom consumption could induce consumers to buy brown button mushrooms.

The pine mushroom is recognized as a valuable functional food and is considered the first kind of mushroom. One of the product development plans for the pine mushroom is a Teriyaki pickle. The physical properties and sensory evaluation of this product were measured, as well as sensory evaluations and microbe tests after a storage period. 9 types of high pressure-cooking conditions with Teriyaki seasoning were tested. The Teriyaki seasoning was heated from $110^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours, 1 hour or by the traditional method. Based on our testing and evaluations, the pine mushroom Teriyaki pickle heated from $110^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours or 1 hour had the highest preference and color ; Odor and overall preference increased with longer storage periods. Also, from the 21st day, the microbe levels in the traditional method Teriyaki seasoning measured less than those in 30 others. But, until storage 28th day, no microbes were detected in Teriyaki seasoning liquid from the high pressure-cooking condition. As a result, the high pressure-cooking condition was a simpler manufacturing process than the traditional method. The salinity of Teriyaki seasoning liquid from the high pressure-cooking condition was relatively lower than that from the traditional method. Therefore, the pine mushroom pickle prepared with Teriyaki seasoning under high pressure-cooking conditions will be considered for commercialization. The pine mushroom Teriyaki pickle heated from $110^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours was preferred the most, so this method is suitable for the Teriyaki seasoning.

This study examined the effects of adding Pleurotus ostreatus, Agaricus bisporus and Flammulina velutipes on the quality characteristics of cookies and multiple purposes of wheat powders. The water content, crude protein content, mineral content, color value and sensory evaluation of mushroom cookies and multiple purposes of wheat powders were measured. In the case of cookies, the water content was 1.10-1.24% and crude protein content was 8.20-9.80%. General preferences, such as appearance, color, taste and texture, increased when mushroom was added to the cookies, especially flavor, which showed a much higher preference. In the studies where mushroom was added to wheat powders, the water content was 0.57-0.92% and crude protein content was 11.90-12.80%. The addition of mushroom to both of the cookies and multiple purposes of wheat powders resulted in a remarkable increase in the mineral content, especially Fe, K. In addition, an increase in the amount of added mushrooms resulted in an increase in the hunter L and a values; however, this also resulted in a decrease in the b value.
