This study has been made to examine the basic information, the preferences of material quality, and the demand performance of clothing for underwear materials between atopic patients and non-patients. The measurement tool was a questionnaire. For statistical analysis of data, crosstabs, ${\chi}^2$-test, t-test and ANOVA through SPSS for Windows(version 14.0) were used. The results obtained are as follows. The degree of the basic knowledge about clothing materials indicated that women was higher than men. The material decision method and the most considering part in case of selecting underwear products showed difference between men and women. The preference factors for underwear material quality were drawn with the five factors of sense of weight/pliability, lustering/see-through, tactility, and sense of cold and warmth. The preferred underwear material showed difference according to gender, existence and nonexistence of atopic determatitis, and degree of strength of skin itching caused by clothing materials. The demand performances of clothing in case of selecting underwear were drawn with the four factors of hygiene/practicality, skin protection, quality of materials, and aesthetic attribute. The demand performance of underwear showed difference according to gender, existence and nonexistence of atopic determatitis, degree of strength of skin itching caused by clothing materials.

The subjects of ttis study were middle-aged women in their 40s$\sim$50s and older women aged 60 and over who were living in Seoul and Kyonggi-do, Korea. Through studying the participants' responses to the questions regarding the attributes of image preference in terms of the levels of satisfaction and importance, the target consumers' demand has been studied. And, they are applied to a QFD Matrix, to find out the relationship between the attributes of product quality and the guidelines of clothing design. For this study, clothing image preference is categorized as three types: fashionable and urbane image, elegant and formal image, comfortable and active image. It has also been found that middle-aged and older women think the clothing that projects fashionable and urbane image needs more improvement that those for other images. To review demands for the clothing image preference attribute of formal suits for middle-aged and older women, the priority of these attributes through QFD Matrix that shows the relationship between the attributes and dress elements emphasized by designers has been examined. In reflecting clothing image preference by consumers for their formal two-piece suits, the most important design elements related to material in order of importance were material type, style, thickness and texture, and those related to color were the number of colors used and coloring type.

Spirulina is known to be more useful abroad than in Korea because it contains more protein than Chlorella, the same microalgae. In the past, sources of animal protein were diverse, but since it takes a long time to receive protein along with environmental pollution, we thought that spirulina could attract attention as a new protein source. In this study, application cases were analyzed in foods in the fields of acorn cake, tofu, dumpling skin, fish cake, white bread, pound cake, salad dressing, and yogurt and so on. As a result of centrally analyzing antioxidant and sensory evaluation, it was confirmed that the results were effective enough to develop products in tofu, dumpling skin, fish cake, and pound cake. It is thought that development of food in other fields will be possible if an additive amount that can match the consumer's preference is found by supplementing the mixing ratio. If it is used as a main raw material for existing food rather than as a raw material for health functional food, consumer preference can increase and quality can be further improved, and it can be suggested as a good alternative for an aging society.

Determining the optimal mixing ratio of pumpkin, water, glutinous rice powder, red bean, kidney bean in preparing Hobakjook has been attempted and on the basis of it, Hobakjook with glutinous rice powder was set to be A group, and the one that glutinous rice powder was replaced by brown glutinous rice powder for the purpose of enhancing preference and nutrition was set to be B group. A group and B group with additional 0％, 5％, 10％, 15% perilla powder of pumpkin weight was labeled as Al-A4 and Bl-B4 respectively, and then analyzed nutritionally. Optimal material mixing ratio and preference was investigated by use of sensory evluation and instrumental test. As a result, the optimal material mixing ratio was determined as pumpkin 400 g, water 60 cc, glutinous rice powder 40 g, red bean 30 g, kidney bean 30 g, salt 4 g, sugar 10 g. In sensory evaluation significant difference (P < 0.05) was shown among the samples in color., flavor.1, falvor. II and overall quality. And A3 in viscosity, A2 in color, A4 in sweetness, B2 in flavor 1, Al and B2 in flavor 11, and B2 in overall quality was preferred most. Instrumental measurement shows that B4 in viscosity and A4 in sweentness was highestly recorded and showed significant difference (p<0.05). As the addition of perilla powder increased, the viscosity and sweetness was increased. In color measurement A4 in L value, A3 in a value, and Bl in b value was highestly recorded. And as perilla powder was added, L value and a value was increased while b value was decreased. Color in sensory evaluation was significantly correlated to b value in instrumental measurement. In summary, Hobakjook with brown glutinous rice was superior to the one with glutinous rice in preference and proximate composition, and as the addition of perilla powder was increased, proximate composition was increased but preference was rather decreased, and Hobakiook with 5％ addition of perilla powder to brown glutinous rice powder was preferred most.

Purpose: This study chose Vaccinium oldhamii as a material to complement the redness of Sansuyu, which is unstable to heat, to Sansuyu pudding. Methods: The level of browning and hunter color of Corni fructus juice supernatant (CFS) and Vaccinium oldhamii extract (VOE) were examined and dependent on heating time and storage period. Results: A value (redness) of VOE was high, browning was moderate during the storage period, and though the storage period was extended, the value stayed stable, meaning overall redness was maintained. With the increase in the amount of added VOD, the color preference of Sansuyu pudding, and D (VOE 10.0%) was marked the highest at 5.80. As for the preference of texture, B (VOE not added) was the highest at 5.35, but C (VOE 5.0%) was marked the highest at 5.10 for overall preference. The DPPH radical scavenging ability of Sansuyu pudding was 15.86-21.39% at a concentration of 1,000 ppm, and the total polyphenol content was 136.76-139.62 mg/100 g. Since the redness of Sansuyu is unstable to heat and then is heated, its degree of browning and b value (degree of yellowness) increases. Conclusion: So if a material with a red color that is stable to heat is added to Sansuyu, the preference of Sansuyu products will improve.

As Korea has undergone rapid modernization, urbanization and industrialization, women's social participation has increased. Accordingly, child care facilities have shown continuous growth in numbers. However, according to research, child care facilities in Korea lag behind those in other nations in terms of quality. Given that, it seem urgent to enhance the quality of child care facilities and improve their indoor environment. Above all, overall atmosphere, colors and finishing materials are connected directly with educational effects as well as feelings and health of facility users. This study assesses the current state of child care facilities and preferences by focusing primarily on interior atmosphere, materials and colors. For This Study, 7 facilities were surveyed, and 46 subjects were participated for this study. The findings suggest that "pretty" style is preferred to "natural" style. As regards flooring material, wood floor is preferred. It is recommended to lay pastel colored carpet or PVC flooring material to the wood floor. As for wall, it is desirable to divide the wall spaces by adding wood and painting to simple wallpapers. In case of the ceiling noise absorptive material is recommended to use instead of wallpapers. For the doors, it is desirable to use contrasting materials and colors given accessibility for children. In the meantime, rather than strong primary colors, soft color or pastel colors are desirable for furniture. This study has limitations because of insufficiency of case study samples. However, it is significant in that the study results may be used as primary source of information to improve the environment of child care facilities.
