Chemical characteristics of red pepper seasoning oil were investigated during storage at $65^{\circ}\C$ for 6 week to obtain information fer the quality control of powdered soups of Korean instant noodles. The acid value increased gradually during storage. The peroxide value increased remarkably at 4 weeks of storage, but decreased at 6 week of storage. Both American Spice Trade Association (ASTA) value that indicates redness of red pepper and the CIE $L^*,\;a^*,\;and\;b^*$ value increased to 4 weeks of storage, but decreased at 6 weeks of storage. The fatty acids were mainly composed of linoleic (51.02%), oleic (30.17%), and palmitic (11.81%) acid Myristic and palmitic acid content increased slightly but linoleic acid decreased during storage. The ratio of total unsaturated fatty acids to total saturated fatty acids slightly decreased during storage. In free fatty acid (FFA) composition, linoleic acid was present in the greatest amount but it decreased remarkably from 85.5 to 65.2 (mg/kg oil) after 6 weeks of storage. Total amount of FFA increased throughout the storage period. The ratio of total free unsaturated fatty acids to total free saturated fatty acids decreased during storage.

Food and nutrition sites are the major portion of the health information sites. For the point of public health it is very important to secure validity and reliability of information on those web sites. Therefore, in this study we would like to identify problems when acquiring recipes in web sites by analyzing and reviewing recipes in web sites. To investigate Korean food recipes provided in web sites, domestic search engines such as Simmani, Naver, Hanmir, and Empas and foreign search engines such as Yahoo Korea, Lycos and Altabista Korea were used. Searchs were done using 'recipe' and 'Joribeob (cooking method)' from March 20, 2002 to June 20, 2002. Informations in each sites were reviewed and analyzed Results are as follow; When classifying 46sites searched with 'Joribeob' by the information provider, 24sites were individual, 16sites were corporate and 6sites were others. When searching 'recipe', total 12,654recipes were returned. Out of them, individual provided 2,581sites(20.4%), corporate provided 7,249sites(57.3%), and others provided 2,824sites(22.3%). 9,979(78.9%) recipes out of 12,654recipes were proved to be appropriate as Korean food. Classifying recipes by dish group, vegetables 11.7%, soups and hot soups 9.7%, stew and casseroles 8.2%, pan cakes 8.0%, stir fried foods and skewers 7.8%, rice 7.2%, hard boiled food 7.1%, steam 6.4%, noodles and mandu 5.3%, Kimchi 4.5%, fried 4.1%, and porridge 3.7% in order. 21.1% of recipes were not appropriate as Korean food but provided as Korean Food. The proportion of individual as the information provider were higher than that of enterprises. Recipes from enterprises were based on food and nutrient information and more reliable. However, there were some cases that they provided the same amount of ingredients with different calories or provided the same calories with different ingredients. Additionally, depending on sites, they provided different calories even for the same recipe. There were some cases that the calories provided on the site were too high or too low, for the suggested amount of ingredients and serving size. Recipes those provide amount of calories were evaluated using the nutrient analysis program. Calculated calories and provided calories on the Web were compared together. There are difference between two valus. With these results, it may lead misuse of recipe by those who need accuracy in diet such as patients or who are interested in recipe information for academic purposes. These results could be used as basic materials to improve quantity and quality of recipes in the future. Also, to improve the accuracy of recipies for Korean foods in the web sites, there should be some systems to monitor and let internet users know monitoring results.

Creatinine-adjustment is an important process in the urinary monitoring of the environmental exposure of children and adolescents. The purpose of this study was to investigate the concentrations of urinary creatinine and factors associated with them among Korean children and adolescents. We recruited 1,025 persons from 128 extracted schools. They were from three to 18 years old and supplied urine samples for measuring creatinine. The concentrations of urinary creatinine were 98.18 mg/dl (SD, 67.67) in arithmetic mean and 72.05 mg/dl (GSD 2.49) in geometric mean, were significantly higher among male children/adolescents than females in all age groups, and higher values appeared following increasing ages, heights and BMIs. The rates of the number who were below the lowest limit recommended by WHO (<30 mg/dl) were 25.57% among three to four year olds, 21.77% among five to six year olds, 20.0% among seven to eight year olds and 14.69% among nine to ten year olds, respectively. The rates of those above the highest limit (>300 mg/dl) were 0.0% among three to twelve year olds. The coefficient of determination R-square of the fitted regression model for urinary creatinine was 27.4% with general characteristic variables of sex, age, BMI and height. The significant variables among these were height (standardized beta = 0.372) and age (standardized beta = 0.129). Another coefficient of determination R-square was 15.3% with dietary habit variables of smoking, drinking, dining area, number of meals and snacks, and intake of milk food, cup-noodles, canned foods, popcorn, nachos, and hamburgers. In conclusion, the concentration of urinary creatinine was significantly lower in children than in adults, and was very significantly associated with the height of children. Therefore, children need the recommended concentrations for urinary creatinine, as distinguished from adults.

The purpose of this study was to analyze factors that influence consumption pattern of snacks of middle school students. The subjects of study were 607 middle school students (male: 316, female: 291) in Ilsan area. The subjects were surveyed by a self-administered questionnaire about anthropometrics, mother's employed status, parents' education level, and snack consumption pattern. Male students showed higher consumption in 'milk and milk products' (p<0.05), 'instant noodles' (p<0.01), and 'cereal' (p<0.05). In the other hand, female students showed higher consumption in 'biscuits, cookies' (p<0.01) and 'candy and chocolates' (p<0.01). Subjects in underweight group showed higher frequency in the consumption of 'biscuits, cookies' (p<0.05) and 'candy and chocolates' (p<0.001) compared with normal weight or overweight subjects. The subjects with mother not having a job showed higher consumption of snacks under controlling parents (p<0.001), and higher consumption in 'fruit and fruit juice' (p<0.05) and 'milk and milk products' (p<0.01) compared to the subjects with mother having a job. The subjects with parents having higher education level showed higher of consumption in 'fast food'. These results suggest that general characteristics of the subjects and characteristics of family environment may affect consumption pattern of snacks in middle school students.

This study was performed to analyze flavor components of foods, that is, total free amino acids, free glutamic acid(constituent of MSG) and nucleotide relating substances. Twenty-five foods popular to Korean were selected and prepared according to recipes of several cooking books. The results were as follows; In contents of total free amino acids, free glutamic acid and total nucleotide relating substances, similar Patterns were shown. The foods which their major food stuffs were meat, fish and marine products and which a large amount of soy sauce were added to, tended to show high contents. of those On the other hand, although major foodstuffs had relatively high contents of those, foods added other many sub-foodstuffs had shown intermediate contents of those. Soups and watery noodles had low contents of those because of their large water amount. Especially, foods made of vegetables without addition of soy sauce showed low content of IMP. In foods various ratios of free glutamic acid to IMP were calculated. Thus, the proper usage of the chemical seasoning containing nucleotide at various contents should be considered for efficient flavor enhancing effect.

Sensory characteristics and antimicrobial activity of Korean wheat noodle with pine pollen powder and antioxidant activity of pine pollen extracts were investigated to develop the health promoting product. Pine pollen powder was extracted with water and 70% ethanol and extracts were tested electron donating ability (EDA) and nitrite scavenging ability (NSA). Sensory characteristics were evaluated by its color, flavor, moisture, softness, texture and taste. Microbiological quality was tested by total viable cells. EDA was highest in 1,000 ppm for both water extract (67% of EDA) and ethanol extract (74% of EDA). NSA was highest in pH 1.2 for both water extract(46% of NSA) and ethanol extract (48% of NSA). Antimicrobial activity of Korean wheat noodle with 3% pine pollen powder were 0.5 log $cycle{\sim}1$ log cycle lower than that of control at 5days of storage in total vival cells and at 4days of storage in total fungus. From sensory evaluation, Korean wheat noodle with 3% pine pollen powder had significantly higher of all scores.

'Saemimyeon' a Tongil-type rice variety (Indica ${\times}$ Japonica), which contains high amylose contents is suitable for rice noodle production. Nowadays, the major parts of rice processing industry that includes products like rice flour and noodles are expected to partially replace wheat flour market. The volume of rice noodle market is getting bigger and can contribute to the rice surplus and farmer's income. This study was carried out to promote productivity and flour-making quality of 'Saemimyeon' by finding the most suitable transplanting and harvesting times. The transplanting days used were May $10^{th}$, May $17^{th}$, May $24^{th}$, May $31^{th}$, June $7^{th}$ and June $14^{th}$ and the planting distance used was 30 x 12cm. In addition, harvesting time was determined by days after heading time (40, 45, 50, 55 and 60 days). The field experiment was conducted at the experimental field in Miryang (Southern plain area of Korea) from 2015 to 2016. Our results suggest that the optimum transplanting days were from May $24^{th}$ to May $31^{th}$ which resulted to an average yield of 748~751kg/10a. Interestingly, yield was sharply decreased below 700kg/10a before May $10^{th}$ and after June $7^{th}$. The average grain filling rate before May $31^{th}$ was more than 83% but it declined to 75% after June $7^{th}$. The average temperature ranges from heading time to harvesting time was $ 21\sim25^{\circ}C$ and the estimated optimal temperature was $23.4^{\circ}C$ which is similar to May $24^{th}$ by regression equation. We found that the optimal harvest time was 45~50 days after heading time. It is hypothesized that low temperature at seed maturation time caused the lower grain filling rate therefore 'Saemimyeon' need to be transplanted before May $31^{th}$ for higher productivity. We found no statistical variation in amylose contents among experimental plots (28.2~30.4%). We conclude that the productivity of 'Saemimyeon' highly depends on temperature that is critical for grain filling stage controlled by transplanting time.

This survey was based on the college students opinions on their cafeteria in northern Kyungkido area during three weeks(5th Nov.∼21st Nov., 1996). The rate of the daily usage of the college cafeteria was 64.29% in day time class, 44.35% in night time class. The first reason of using the college cafeteria was 'no other place to eat' in day time class(49.38%) and night time class(68.01%). The second reason was 'to be economical' and the third was 'to save the time'. The main reason for not using the college cafeteria was 'bad taste' in day time class(52.09%) and night time class(31.99%). The percentage of the students who ate outside of the college in day time class was 68.63% and night time class was 37.37, 31.18% of the night time class ate the dinner at home after school. The average type of the meal were : the boiled rice, noodles, cookies and bread(from the most to the least). The students survey showed rather dissatisfactory response on taste, preference, the number of the side dishes except the quantity of the food. The necessary improvements for the college cafeteria were, first, 'improve the quality and taste of the food' and 'increase the variety of the menu', 'lower the price' and 'sanitation' were followed.

This study was conducted to investigate the properties of noodle which was made of composite flour blended with the powder of synnemata of Beauveria bassiana. The characteristics of cooked-noodle including color, cooking properties, mechanical texture properties were measured, and sensory evaluation was performed. The L-value of dry and wet-noodle which made of composite flour was similar to that of 100% wheat flour, but a and b-value were higher than those of 100% wheat flour. There were no differences in the weight, volume and water absorption of the cooked-noodle made of composite flour and that of 100% wheat flour, but the turbidity of the cooked-noodle made of composite flour was higher than that of 100% wheat flour. The breaking force of dry-noodle which was made of composite flour was same as that of 100% wheat flour. Hardness and Gumminess of the cooked-noodle which was made of composite flour blended with synnemata powder at level of 1∼5% were same as those of 100% wheat flour. Springiness, chewiness, cohesiveness and adhesiveness of the cooked-noodle which was made of composite flour blended with synnemata powder at level of 1% were similar to those 100% wheat flour. The results of sensory evaluation showed that the cooked-noodles containing 1% and 3% synnemata powder were acceptable as much as those of 100% wheat flour in terms of color, taste, flavor, texture and overall acceptance.
