Purpose: This research was conducted to provide basic data on Kimchi consumption of high school students by determining their recognition and preferences related to Kimchi. Methods: Our survey was administered to 450 high school students in the Incheon area from September 1 to October 30, 2015. A total of 412 questionnaires were used for the final analysis. Results: Most students (42.6%) consumed Kimchi every meal (more than 3 meals/day), and only 3.6% did not consume Kimchi at all. The most common reason for consuming Kimchi was 'tasty' (46.4%). On the other hand, those who did not consume Kimchi cited 'preference for other side dishes' (50.0%). 'Home-made Kimchi' was the most common source of consumed Kimchi (63.0%). With respect to recognition of Kimchi, most cited terms were 'traditional' ($4.64{\pm}0.58$), followed by 'healthy' ($4.30{\pm}0.77$) and 'prefer home-made' ($3.88{\pm}0.93$) (p<0.001). The average preference for Kimchi was $3.71{\pm}1.07$. The most common reason for preferences was 'crisp texture' (37.6%). The most popular flavor was 'spicy' (33.6%), and the most popular fermentation level was 'appropriate' (55.6%). When preferences for Kimchi were further analyzed, 'baechu Kimchi' (4.18) was the most popular. Further, Kimchi is a popular ingredient for many dishes, and the most popular dish was 'stir-fried pork with Kimchi' (4.50). Conclusion: In the future, positive recognition of Kimchi consumption can be promoted through nutrition education and various advertisements. Furthermore, efforts should be made to establish the principles of traditional Korean food for students.

The dietary intake of nutritional elements by Koreans as determined by the Ministry of Health and Welfare's National Nutrition Survey have been reported for $1969{\sim}1993$. But these data were based on not dish but food. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare dish sources of energy and macronutrients (carbohydrate, fat, protein) in the diets of three area (large city, small city and rural). Dish sources were evaluated from two-day record obtained in the secondary analysis of the 1993 Korean National Nutrition Survey. The result, large city and small city had higher fat and protein intake than did rural. Otherwise, carbohydrate intake among rural was higher than those among large and small city (p<0.05). The primary dish source of energy and macronutrients was cooked rice for all area. The percentage of cooked rice in daily carbohydrate intake was 52.64% for nationwide, 48.40% for large city, 50.52% for small city, 61.79% for rural. The cumulative percent of top 10 dish sources to carbohydrate for large city, small city, rural were 78.02%, 81.16%, 85.69%, respectively. These was higher than cumulative percent of other macronutrients. The milk as good protein source ranked 3 for large city, 6 for small city, 22 for rural. The major dish sources to fat were cooked rice and pork that prepared by various cooking way. These results show that the major dish sources of energy and macronutrients were cooked rice based of Korea traditional consumption pattern. The most of nutrient intake consumed some dishes for all area. The dish consumption pattern was generally similar between large and small city. But rural was different from other area. Threfore, nutrition educations and interventions should be targeted to each area and should be attended with studies that comparision of dish sources to nutritional elements by specific age-sex groups.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the Korea-resident foreigners's adaptability and preference to Korean foods. The survey was carried out among 144 foreigners living in Seoul, Korea (male 57, female 87; from the East 109, from the West 35). Based on the first impression of Korean food, 'spicy', 'strong taste of seasoning', 'salty' were most common. About 90 percent of the foreigners adapted to Korean food in six months. It took more time to adapt to Korean food for Western people, compared to people from the East. Factors that influenced their adaption to Korean food were shown to be 'efforts by myself' and 'from friends'. Foreigners posited positive attitude toward Korean food according to their answers like 'nutritionally great food' and 'food with interesting ways of eating'. Westerners appeared to be more satisfied with Korean food. 'Too strong seasoning taste' and 'too sweet' were pointed out for further improvements. Beef Bulgogi, (Korean) fruit, Beef Ribs, Pork Ribs, and Grilled Pork Belly in order were foreigners' favorite foods, but Soju, Korean Sausage, Sliced Rice Cake Soup, Radish Kimchi and Vegetable Side Dishes were not. Taken together, the adaptability and preference to Korean foods to foreigners were different according to the gender and cultural background.

The migrating level of di-(2-ethylhexyl) adipate (DEHA) in PVC wrap to various foodstuffs dishes was determined using acetone/n-hexane as an extracting solvent. The recovery ratio of DEHA from various foodstuffs ranged from 81.3 to 91.2%. During storage at $10\;or\;20^{\circ}C$ for up to 3 days, highest migration of 22.9 mg/kg occurred with pork belly, an indication that increases in fat content, storage temperature, and storage time result in increasing DEHA migration. DEHA concentrations of various delivered dishes ranged between 6.9 and 29.8 mg/kg, and highest migration was observed in Chambbong, which had the highest fat content among samples. After microwave-reheating, which resulted in a tight contact between film and food samples, DEHA was not detected in rice and potato, whereas up to 158.8 mg/kg was detected in pizza. When the wrap film was not contacted with the surface of food, the migration was lowered. Migration levels of DEHA from PVC wrap film into samples under various exposure conditions often exceeded the limit value of $3\;mg/dm^2\;and/or\;18\;mg/kg$ set by the European Union.

The objective of this study was to develop remedies to improve sanitary quality of school meals. To analyze the usage of potentially hazardous foods, menus from 180 school foodservice establishments were collected through school websites. Statistical analyses were conducted using the SPSS package program (ver. 20.0). The results of this study are as follows: analysis of the foodservice production process revealed that the following were employed: heating process (70.5%), non-heating process (16.3%), and after-heating process (13.2%). In addition, the cooking methods used for side dishes were: stir-frying (22.1%), saengchae (21.3%), sukchae (15.2%), jorim (12.4%), deep-frying (10.2%), and grilling (9.5%). Overall, 64 menu items known to pose potential microbiological hazards were offered a total of 2,671 times. The usage frequency was high for bibimbap, pork-bulgogi, cucumber-saenchae, seasoned bean sprouts namul, seasoned spinach-namul, and korean cabbage-geotjeori. In conclusion, in order to increase the sanitary quality of school meals, menus or foods that contain microbiological hazards should prepared very carefully with respect to time and temperature management during food production. Also, school foodservice employees must possess proper food safety knowledge and techniques for applying the HACCP system to prevent foodborne illness.
