  • The rise in plant-based food consumption is propelled by concerns for sustainability, personal beliefs, and a focus on healthy dietary habits. This trend, particularly in alternative meat, has attracted attention from specialized brands and eco-friendly food companies, leading to increased interest in plant-based alternatives. The dominant plant-based proteins, derived mainly from legumes, include soy protein isolates, which significantly impact sensory factors. In the realm of plant-based fats, substitutes are categorized into fat substitutes based on fats and fat mimetics based on proteins and carbohydrates. The production of these fats, utilizing gums, emulsions, gels, and additives, explores characteristics influencing the appearance, texture, flavor, and storage stability of final plant-based products. Analysis of plant-based proteins and fats in hamburger patties provides insights into manufacturing methods and raw materials used by leading alternative meat companies. However, challenges persist, such as replicating meat's marbling characteristic and addressing safety considerations in terms of potential allergy induction and nutritional supplementation. To enhance functionality and develop customized plant-based foods, it is essential to explore optimal combinations of various raw materials and develop new plant-based proteins and fat separation.

  • The necessity of adequate pregnancy weight gain for optimal pregnancy outcome has been recognized. However, the specific components of pregnancy weight gain that might be critical for fetal growth and development have not been elucidated clearly. The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation of pregnancy weight gain and birth weight with serum leptin levels in women delivered newborns. The subjects were recruited from K university hospital. The subject's characteristic data (age $32.1\;{\pm}\;4.3\;y$, gestational age $39.5\;{\pm}\;1.1wk$, pre-pregnancy weight $58.0\;{\pm}\;8.6\;kg$, pregnancy weight gain $12.7\;{\pm}\;5.5\;kg$, newborn's birth weight $3.5\;{\pm}\;0.5\;kg$) were gathered. Maternal dietary assessment was carried out at the end of pregnancy. After delivery, blood samples were collected from 20 mother-newborn pairs. Serum levels of various lipids and leptin were analyzed. Maternal daily consumption of iron, zinc, folate were lower than the RDA of each nutrient and index of nutritional quality was less than 1 showing that the quality of maternal diet was low. The levels of serum leptin of mothers and infants were $10.2\;{\pm}\;6.7\;ng/ml$ and $1.7\;{\pm}\;0.6\;ng/ml$, respectively. The serum leptin concentrations of male infants $(1.9\;{\pm}\;0.7\;ng\;ml)$ were not different from that of females $(1.7{\pm}0.5\;ng/ml)$. A negative correlation was found between the maternal pre-pregnant BMI and weight gain during pregnancy (r = -0.54, p < 0.05). There was a positive correlation between the pregnancy weight gain and the newborn's birth weight (r=0.59, p < 0.01 There were also positive correlation between newborn's birth weight and newborn's serum leptin levels (r = 0.57, p < 0.01). No correlations were found between maternal serum leptin levels and that of newborn's. Efforts should be made to attain adequate diet and weight gain during the pregnancy to reduce the likelihood of low or over birth weight of newborns.

  • 본 연구는 베리아트릭 수술 중 위 밴드 수술을 시행한 고도비만 환자의 특성을 밝히고, 수술 후 영양교육을 받은 횟수의 차이가 체중감량에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위해 시행되었다. 위 밴드 수술을 시행한 환자 중 수술 후 15개월이 경과한 고도비만 환자의 의무기록을 이용한 후향적 조사이다. 총 60명을 연구 대상으로 선정하였으며, 전체 연구 대상자들이 개별적으로 이루어진 영양교육을 받은 횟수의 평균을 기준으로 평균 보다 작은 경우 소교육군으로, 평균보다 높은 경우 다교육군으로 분류하여 조사하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 본 연구의 연구 대상자는 총 60명으로 소교육군은 29명, 다교육군은 31명으로, 위 밴드 수술 전에 조사된 성별, 연령, 신장, 체중, BMI 모두 두 그룹간의 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 혈압과 맥박은 이완기 혈압과 맥박은 두 그룹간의 유의적인 차이가 나타나지 않은 반면 수축기 혈압에서 다교육군이 소교육군보다 유의적으로 높게 나타났다. 둘째, 위 밴드 수술 전에 조사 된 연구 대상자들이 가지고 있는 건강 관련 생활 습관은 음주, 민간요법, 흡연 순으로 나타났다. 음주, 흡연에서는 두 그룹간의 유의적인 차이가 나타나지 않았으나 민간요법 사용 여부에서 다교육군이 유의적으로 높게 나타났다. 셋째, 연구 대상자의 위 밴드 수술 전에 조사된 비만관련 합병증과 보유증상은 등, 허리, 무릎 통증, 코골이, 생리불순, 위-식도역류질환, 수면문제, 고혈압, 수면무호흡증, 당뇨병, 고지혈증 등의 순으로 나타났다. 우울증과 코골이에서 두 그룹간의 유의적인 차이가 나타났다. 우울증의 경우 다교육군이 유의적으로 높았으며, 코골이의 경우 소교육군이 유의적으로 높게 나타났다. 넷째, 연구 대상자들의 식습관 중 속식을 하는 경우가 가장 많았으며, 그 다음으로 과식, 불규칙한 식사 시간, 스트레스성 식사, 잦은 간식 섭취, Junk Food 섭취, 야식, 단 음식 섭취 순으로 나타났다. 식습관은 두 그룹간의 유의적인 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 다섯째, 대부분의 연구 대상자가 비수술적 요법을 시행한 경험이 있으며, 약물요법을 가장 많이 시행한 경험이 있다고 답하였다. 그 다음으로 운동요법, 식사요법, 행동수정요법 순으로 나타났다. 연구 대상자의 위 밴드 수술 전에 조사된 비수술적 요법 시행 여부는 두 그룹간의 유의적인 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 약물요법을 소교육군은 4가지 이상 시행한 경우가 가장 많았고, 다교육군은 1가지, 3가지를 시행한 경우가 가장 많았다. 운동요법을 소교육군은 유산소 운동만 한 경우가 가장 많았고, 다교육군은 유산소 운동과 근력 운동을 병행한 경우가 가장 많았다. 식사요법으로 가장 많이 사용한 방법은 두 그룹 모두 보조식품을 이용하는 것으로 나타났다. 여섯째, 신체조성 측정 결과 수술 후 6개월까지는 체지방, 체중이 급격히 감소하였고, 그 후에는 완만하게 감소하였다. 체지방과 체중은 수술 후 15개월 차에 영양교육을 더 많이 받은 다교육군이 소교육군 보다 유의적으로 낮게 나타났다. 일곱째, 수술 전과 수술 후 기간 경과에 따른 비만 지표 체중과 체지방의 감소와 비슷한 변화 양상을 나타내었다. BMI와 비만도는 수술 후 15개월 차에 소교육군에 비해 다교육군이 유의적으로 낮게 나타났다. 교육 횟수가 증가 할수록 수술 전에 비해 수술 후 15개월에 BMI 감소 정도가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 여덟째, 연구 대상자의 위 밴드 수술 전과 수술 후 6개월 차의 생화학적 지표를 조사한 결과 대부분이 정상 범위에 있는 것으로 나타났다. ALT, 중성지방, 총 콜레스테롤이 수술 전 정상범위보다 높게 나타났으나 수술 후 6개월 차에 정상범위 수준으로 감소하였다. 간 기능 지표를 나타내는 AST와 ALT는 수술 전에 비해 수술 후 6개월 차에 두 그룹 모두 유의적으로 감소하였다. 당화혈색소 역시 두 그룹 모두 수술 전에 비해 수술 후 6개월 차에 유의적으로 감소하였다. 중성지방은 수술 전에 두 그룹 모두 정상범위 이상이었으나 수술 후 6개월 차에 정상범위 수준으로 감소되었고 수술 전에 비해 수술 후 6개월 차에 유의적으로 감소하였다. 본 연구를 통해 고도비만환자들이 베리아트릭 수술 시행 전에 가지고 있던 인류 통계학적 특성, 식습관, 비만 관련 합병증과 보유 증상, 비수술적 요법의 시행 여부 등을 알 수 있었다. 또한 이를 기초 자료로 한 베리아트릭 수술 후 장기적인 영양교육을 실시하는 것이 체중과 체지방량의 감소에 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다. 이는 고도비만 환자의 베리아트릭 수술로 인한 체중과 체지방의 감소 효과를 지속적으로 유지하기 위해서는 장기적인 영양교육이 필요함을 보여준다. 향후 연구 대상자의 특징을 고려하여 개별적인 영양교육을 통해 비만 수술 후 전향적인 중재를 시행하여 혈압, 비만 관련 합병증과 보유 증상, 식습관 및 건강 관련 생활습관의 변화에 대한 조사와 영양교육 방법에 대한 실제적 효과를 판정하는 연구가 필요한 것으로 사료된다.

  • This study was undertaken with 542 fifth-grade elementary school children to investigate the characteristics in lifestyle, eating habits, food preferences of overweight and obese children in the Pocheon area of Korea. Anthropometry was conducted to determine obesity, and data was obtained on lifestyle, eating habits and food preferences by using questionnaires. The prevalence rate of obesity was 19.5% for boys and 8.5% for girls, and 14.3% of boys and 14.4% of girls were overweight. No significant differences was found in the body size and education years of parents, family income and the empolymental status of mother. Boys did not show any significant difference between subgroups in lifestyle, eating habits and food preferences. Obese girls watched TV longer and liked physical education less than normal and overweight groups, suggesting that an inactive lifestyle can be related to girls' obesity in this study. Overweight girls answered that they had significantly lower preferences for empty-calorie foods such as candies/caramels and cookies as well as high-fat foods such as samgyupsal(pork belly) than normal weight girls, implicating the fear of obesity for overweight girls, although more studies should be done including an assessment of actual intake of these foods. The preferences of obese girls for these foods were not higher than those of normal-weight girls, suggesting that the preference for certain foods may not be the characteristic of obese girls in this study. A special program for nutritional education with a different focus should be developed to combat the problems of each subgroup depending on gender and obesity status to improve the physical fitness of the children in this area.

  • It has long been known that nutritional and environmental influences during the early developmental period affect the biological mechanisms which determine animal metabolism. This phenomenon, termed 'metabolic imprinting', can cause subtle but long-lasting responses to prenatal and postnatal nutrition and even be passed onto the next generation. A large amount of research data shows that nutrient availability, in terms of quantity as well as quality, during the early developing stages can decrease the number of newborn piglets and their body weight and increase their susceptibility to death before weaning. However, investigation of potential mechanisms of 'the metabolic imprinting' effect have been scant. Therefore, it remains unknown which factors are responsible for embryonic and early postnatal nutrition and which factors are major determinants of body weight and number of new born piglets. Intrauterine undernutrition, for example, was studied using a rat model providing dams 50% restricted nutrients during pregnancy and the results showed significant decreases in birth weight of newborns. This response may be a characteristic of a subset of modulations in embryonic development which is caused by the metabolic imprinting. Underlying mechanisms of intrauterine undernutrition and growth retardation can be explained in part by epigenetics. Epigenetics modulate animal phenotypes without changes in DNA sequences. Epigenetic modifications include DNA methylation, chromatin modification and small non-coding RNA-associated gene silencing. Precise mechanisms must be identified at the morphologic, cellular, and molecular levels by using interdisciplinary nutrigenomics approaches to increase pig production. Experimental approaches for explaining these potential mechanisms will be discussed in this review.

  • The purposes of this study were to investigate the characteristics of lifestyle and dietary habits of the colorectal cancer patients in Daegu and Kyungpook areas and to collect the data useful for nutrition education for the prevention of colorectal cancer in this community. The case subjects of the study were 123 patients diagnosed recently as colorectal cancer at Kyungpook National University Hospital. The control subjects were 182 persons who did not have any gastrointestinal diseases, including the patients from the department of orthopedic surgery and healthy volunteers. The survey covering general characteristics, life style, dietary habits, eating behaviors, and food intake frequency was administered by individual interviews using questionnaires. The results of the study suggest that high BMI, daily life stress, pessimistic personality, lack of physical activities, and familial cancer history might be the possible risk factors for the incidence of colorectal cancer. Dietary factors suspected as risk factors for colorectal cancer in the present study included strong preferences to meats, salty and fatty taste foods, low intake of water, alcohol drinking, smoking, coffee intake and irregular eating habits. A high consumption of seaweeds, green-yellow vegetables, light-colored vegetables, and green tea was suggested as a preventive factor for colorectal cancer. It is recommended to conduct more extensive and systematic surveys in the near future to reconfirm the risk factors of colorectal cancer in consideration of the characteristic food culture in this community. The results of the present study may be applied to nutritional education for the prevention of colorectal cancer for the local residents. (Korean J Nutrition 38(2): 125~143, 2005)

  • Reproduction in ruminant species is a highly complex biological process requiring a dialogue between the developing conceptus (embryo-fetus and associated placental membranes) and maternal uterus which must be established during the peri-implantation period for pregnancy recognition signaling and regulation of gene expression by uterine epithelial and stromal cells. The uterus provide a microenvironment in which molecules secreted by uterine epithelia and transported into the uterine lumen represent histotroph, also known as the secretome, that are required for growth and development of the conceptus and receptivity of the uterus to implantation by the elongating conceptus. Pregnancy recognition signaling as related to sustaining the functional lifespan of the corpora lutea, is required to sustain the functional life-span of corpora lutea for production of progesterone which is essential for uterine functions supportive of implantation and placentation required for successful outcomes of pregnancy. It is within the peri-implantation period that most embryonic deaths occur in ruminants due to deficiencies attributed to uterine functions or failure of the conceptus to develop appropriately, signal pregnancy recognition and/or undergo implantation and placentation. The endocrine status of the pregnant ruminant and her nutritional status are critical for successful establishment and maintenance of pregnancy. The challenge is to understand the complexity of key mechanisms that are characteristic of successful reproduction in humans and animals and to use that knowledge to enhance fertility and reproductive health of ruminant species in livestock enterprises.

  • Breastfeeding is an unequalled way of providing ideal food for the infants. The benefits of breastfeeding practices to infants and mothers are well documented. However, information on breastfeeding practices and its effect on body mass index (BMI) of mothers are scarce, particularly in Ekiti State of Nigeria. Therefore, the present study is designed to assess breastfeeding practices and its association with BMI of mothers. A descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted among breastfeeding mothers that attended postnatal clinic of the state specialist hospitals and maternity centers in the study location. The specialist hospital and two-third of the nine maternity centers were purposively selected because of their health facilities and personnel. The mother-child pairs (200 respondents) were randomly selected from the study locations. Information on demographic characteristic, socio-economic parameters, nutritional knowledge of breastfeeding and dietary intakes of mothers were collected using questionnaires. BMI of mothers was determined as described by World Health Organization. Age distribution of mothers was between 25-34 years; and almost half of respondents had good educational background and were engaged in different occupations. The respondent monthly income ranged between = N = 3500 - 26000 ($26.92 - $200); and their dietary intakes varied between starchy and protein-based food. The result also showed that the respondent consumed enough nutrients to meet up the recommended daily allowance for protein, carbohydrate, fat, zinc, magnesium, sodium and phosphorous requirements. The BMI classifications showed that over three-fifth of respondents were normal, while the remaining were underweight (6%) and overweight/obese (26.5%). Also, large proportion of respondents engaged in exclusive breastfeeding and with good knowledge of breastfeeding practices. Statistically, exclusive breastfeeding practices had no correlation between the BMI and frequency of breastfeeding. The study, therefore, concluded that mothers had good knowledge of breastfeeding practice; and that there was no association between breastfeeding practices and BMI.

  • The purpose of this study was to investigate dietary intake and to evaluate patient satisfaction toward the quality of hospital foodservice. Questionnaires were distributed to 203 hospitalized patients in 3 hospitals having 300 beds. The intake rates for served amounts of rice, side dishes, and soup were 72.5%, 68.2%, and 62.6%, respectively. The main reasons for left-overs were 'no appetite' (25.8%) and 'not salty enough' (19.9%). The rate of patients eating outside food was about 33.5%. The average score for quality satisfaction of meal characteristics was 3.34 ${\pm}$ 0.61, and the average score for quality satisfaction of sanitation and service characteristics was 3.58 ${\pm}$ 0.61. 'Seasoning' showed the lowest score and 'temperature' showed the highest score for quality satisfaction of meal characteristics. In the quality satisfaction of sanitation and services, 'explanation of meals' showed the lowest score and 'exactness of meal times' showed the highest score. The patients hospitalized for 10 days showed significantly lower average scores than those hospitalized over 60 days for quality satisfaction of meal characteristics. The patients with 'little appetite' and 'regular appetite' showed significantly lower average scores than those with 'much appetite' for the quality satisfaction of meal, sanitation, and service characteristics. The patients who 'rarely had leftovers' showed significantly higher average scores than those who 'always had leftovers' and 'often had leftovers' for quality satisfaction of meal characteristics. Meal characteristic scores were significantly correlated with age (r = 0.216), length of admission (r = 0.310), appetite (r = 0.251), leftovers (r = 0.233), and intake of soup (r = 0.205). Also, sanitation and service characteristics scores were significantly correlated with age (r = 0.327), education (r = -0.202), length of admission (r = 0.168), and appetite (r = 0.155). Thus, it would seem to be desirable that hospital foodservices improve the taste and seasoning of meals and provide appropriate nutrition education and counseling in mid-sized hospitals.
