Food is essential for sustenance and reflects a country's identity, making it crucial to identify the cultural needs for effectively localizing Korean food. This study surveyed 825 adults from four continents (eight countries) to examine their preferences, familiarity, and attitudes toward Korean food. Significant correlations(p< .001) were found between the familiarity and preference for Korean food, with variations observed across continents. Among the representative Korean food items, the average preference score was 4.67, and the purchase/recommendation intention score was 4.88. Seven items received above-average ratings (e.g., gogi-deopbap and kimchi-bokkeumbap), while some items showed high liking but low purchase/recommendation intention (e.g. dak-jjim and galbi-jjim). In addition, items such as gimbap and tteokbokki had high purchase/recommendation intention but low liking, and kimchi and vegetable foods etc. received low liking and purchase/recommendation intentions. In terms of the preferred meat according to the cooking method and seasoning, beef respondents preferred grilled·stir-fried and soup·stew·hot pot cooking methods, while pork or chicken respondents preferred grilled·stir-fried and frying methods. Soy sauce was the most preferred seasoning for all meat responses, followed by red pepper paste. These research findings provide fundamental data for developing Korean food products, segmented by continent.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of nutrition education and counseling on the salty taste assessment, nutrition knowledge and dietary attitude of 21 hemodialysis patients. Five times of the nutrition education and three times of nutrition counseling were performed for a period of 5 months. Biochemical analysis revealed that creatinine was significantly high (p < 0.001), blood urea nitrogen and serum albumin were significantly low (p < 0.05, p < 0.01) and Na, K, Cl, K, P and uric acid were not significantly different. The distribution rate of unsalty taste preference were significantly high and the distribution rate of salty taste preference were significantly low after nutrition education and counseling (p < 0.001). Nutrition knowledge significantly improved following 5th month of education and counseling (p < 0.01). Particularly, the scores for questions related to sodium were improved. The dietary attitude was significantly improved during the counseling period (p < 0.05). There were improvements in responses to 'use food exchange list on diet' and 'habitually add salt or soy sauce before the meal'. According to these results, salty taste assessment, nutrition knowledge and dietary attitude were significantly improved by the hemodialysis diet therapy practices of hemodialysis patients. Therefore, we conclude that there was a need for low-salt diet education and nutrition counseling to help them recognize the taste of low-salt foods and strive towards a preference for less salty tasting foods and the consumption of a low-salt diet.

This study was to investigate consumers' recognition, preference, and use condition of processed food of Prunus mume(PFPM). As for the general recognition of Prunus mume, as the age is higher, and as the group of manufacture and intake has a higher level of academic attainments, the level of recognition is high. The group that manufactures and takes in PFPM at home showed high preference for Prunus mume processed food, and significant differences were shown among groups in this regard. The group of higher age and academic attainment level and those who manufactured Prunus mume at home showed high intake frequency of PFPM. 88.7% of the all respondents said that they had had Prunus mume products such as Prunus mume alcoholic beverage(76.3%), undiluted solution of Prunus mume(74.9%), Prunus mume tea(60.1%), and Prunus mume Jjangajji, or sliced vegetables preserved in soy sauce or hot pepper paste(46.3%). The rates of intake experience on another PFPM were relatively very low, and PFPM consumers in Daegu and Gyeongbuk areas were very limited. As for the prospect of Prunus mume processed food consumption, 48.8% and 46.7% of the respondents expected that it would remain in the current condition and would increase respectively. Moreover, 62.8% of the respondents said that they would purchase new PFPM satisfying such requirements above, which suggests that producing new PFPM is very positive.

This study aim to identify preference of main and side dishes of 681 children who lived in Seoul and Gyoung-gi (Incheon) in 2007. To accomplish this, we divided the children into three age groups, an infancy group (below 6 years of age), a middle years group (between 7 and 12 years of age) and a juvenile group (above 12 years of age). Specifically, 145 children were in the infancy group (boys 68, girls 77), 300 children were in middle years group (boys 138, girls 162) and 236 children were in juveniles group (boys 131, girls 105). The average body mass index (BMI) of the parents of the respondents appeared to be normal, and the majority of the parents had bachelor degrees. Across all age groups, most fathers were office workers and most mothers were housewives. The preference for staple foods showed that the infancy group and the middle years group preferred rice the most, while the juvenile group preferred stir-fried rice the most out of 5 grain items. Evaluation of the preference for different types of noodles showed that both boys and girls from the infancy group preferred jajangmyun, while those in the middle years group and the juvenile group preferred spaghetti. For breads, both boys and girls from the infancy group had the highest preference for cake, while boys and girls in the middle years group and boys in the juvenile group preferred pizza the most, and girls from juvenile group preferred cake the most. Evaluation of the preference for soups and pot stew revealed that both boys and girls in the infancy group preferred seaweed soup, while boys from middle years group preferred seol-long-tang and girls from middle years group preferred seaweed soup. Boys and girls from the juvenile group preferred seol-long-tang the most. For hard-boiled foods and stir-fried foods, members of all age groups preferred beef boiled in soy sauce the most and hard-boiled peppers the least. Finally, comparison of the preference for roasted foods, seasoned vegetables and kimchi revealed that the infancy group preferred roasted seaweed the most and that both the middle years and juvenile group had the greatest preference for roasted galbi.

본 연구에서는 20대 초반 한국 여성의 짠맛 역치 및 선호도를 측정하여 음식섭취빈도법을 통해 추정한 나트륨 섭취량과의 연관성을 분석하고, 자기 평가 짠맛 선호도와 관련되어 있는 나트륨 섭취 관련 식행동과 나트륨 섭취 기여 음식을 조사하였다. 자기 평가 짠맛 선호도는 음식섭취빈도법을 이용하여 추정한 나트륨 섭취량과 유의한 양의 상관관계에 있었으며, 나트륨 증가 식행동과 양의 상관관계에 있었고, 나트륨 감소 식행동과 음의 상관관계에 있었다. 나트륨 섭취와 관련된 식행동 중에는 식탁에서 소금과 양념간장의 사용, 외식과 배달음식의 빈도, 국, 찌개, 국수류의 국물 섭취, 레토르트나 가공 식품의 이용, 생채소의 섭취, 싱거운 맛에 대한 수용태도 등의 항목이 자기 평가 짠맛 선호도와 유의한 관련성이 있었으며 나트륨 섭취 기여음식 중에는 라면, 순두부찌개, 총각김치 및 김치를 이용한 음식 등이 자기 평가 짠맛 선호도와 유의하게 관련되어 있어, 짠맛 선호도가 이들 식행동 및 음식을 통해 높은 나트륨 섭취와 관련되어 있는 것으로 생각된다. 예상과는 달리 짠맛 검출 및 인식 역치는 자기 평가 짠맛 선호도, 나트륨 섭취량, 나트륨 증가 및 감소 식행동과 유의한 상관관계를 보이지 않아 식품체계가 아닌 염화나트륨 수용액을 이용한 짠맛 역치보다는 자기 평가된 짠맛 선호도가 개인의 평상시 나트륨 섭취량을 간접적으로 평가할 수 있는 더 좋은 지표로서 생각된다. 결론적으로, 자기 평가 짠맛 선호도는 나트륨 섭취와 관련된 식행동과의 연관성으로 인하여 평상시 나트륨 섭취 정도를 잘 반영하는 것으로 나타났으며, 개인의 나트륨 섭취 수준을 평가하는 간단하고 효과적인 도구로서 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

범주화는 제품디자인에 있어서 매우 중요하다. 범주화의 유형에 따라 소비자의 감성이 다르고 감성의 차이에 따라 디자인 컨셉이 다르며 이에 따라 디자인요소가 다르게 배합되어야 하기 때문이다. 특히 요즘처럼 제품라인이 확대되어 제품의 차별화가 모호한 경우에는 범주화과정이 필요하다. 즉 감성의 유사성 정도를 바탕으로 정확한 범주를 정하고 컨셉화하여 소비자 지향적인 디자인을 제공해야 하는 것이다. 본 연구는 특정의 제품범주(장류) 안에 유사한 하위범주(고추장, 된장, 청국장, 쌈장, 간장)를 구성하고 있는 각 제품에 대한 소비자의 감성이미지를 추출하고 그 유사성정도를 바탕으로 범주를 결정하여 디자인방향을 어떻게 결정해야 할지를 제시하는 데 목적이 있다. 본 연구를 통해 살펴본 결과, 장류는 선호하는 이미지로부터 차별화되어있지 않다는 것을 알 수 있다. 장류에 대한 감성 이미지 조사에서, "웰빙의", "감칠맛나는"의 감성 이미지는 선호에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 반면, "지저분한", "냄새나는"의 감성 이미지는 선호에 부정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 우리는 장류제품을 개발할 때 "감칠맛 나는"과 같은 긍정적인 감성이미지는 부각시키고, "지저분한" 이미지와 같은 부정적인 감성이미지를 제거할 수 있는 디자인 및 마케팅 전략을 제안한다. 본 연구는 학문적 측면과 실무적 측면에서 제품디자인에 대한 다양한 통찰력을 제공할 것이다.

본 연구는 한국식 소스의 세계화를 위해, 훈련된 패널을 대상으로 묘사분석을 수행하였으며, 한국 및 중국 소비자들을 대상으로 다양한 한국식 소스를 적용한 닭강정에 대한 전반 기호도, 외관 기호도, 향미 기호도 및 익숙한 정도를 알아보았으며, 각각의 시료에 대해 좋아하는 이유 및 싫어하는 이유에 대해 CATA 설문을 이용하여 조사하였다. 한국 및 중국 소비자들은 다양한 한국식 소스를 이용한 6종의 닭강정 시료에 대해, 한 두 시료를 제외하고는 전반적으로 선호하는 경향을 보였다. 한국 소비자는 다진 마늘을 주재료로 이용한 닭강정 시료에 대해, 중국 소비자는 고추장 및 다진 마늘을 주재료로 이용한 닭강정 시료를 각각 비선호하였다. 해당 시료들은 각 나라에서 각각 익숙한 정도가 낮게 나타났으며, 낮은 향미 기호도 점수를 나타냈다. 따라서 이전 연구들과 마찬가지로 '익숙함'은 문화권이 다른 소비자들의 기호도에 있어 중요한 영향을 미치는 동인임을 알 수 있었다. 특히, 본 연구의 경우 '익숙함'에 의해 시료를 선호하기 보다는, '익숙하지 않음'에 의해 시료를 비선호하는 경향을 더 분명하게 관찰할 수 있었다. 한국 및 중국 소비자들이 시료의 좋아하는 이유 및 싫어하는 이유에 대해 응답한 CATA 결과는 각각의 시료에 대한 소비자의 구체적인 기호유도인자를 이해할 수 있도록 하였다. 전체적인 결과를 살펴보면, 한국 소비자들은 국내에서 판매되는 닭강정에서 주로 이용되는 재료인 케첩과 고추장의 특징이라 할 수 있는 토마토 향미, 윤기, 신맛, 색의 붉은정도, 입안부 착성, 점도 및 고추장 향미와 같은 특성들에 대해 긍정적으로 반응하였다. 반면, 중국 소비자들은 상대적으로 단맛 및 물엿향미가 강하고 매운 감각이 약한 닭강정 시료들에 대해 긍정적으로 생각하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 중국 소비자들은 기호도가 높았던 케첩을 주재료로 이용한 시료들(KET-I 및 KET-II)에 대해서는 익힌 토마토 향미 특성을, 간장을 주재료로 포함한 시료들(SOY 및 JASOY)에 대해서는 간장향미 특성을 CATA 선호 이유로 보고하여, 위의 특성들에도 긍정적으로 반응하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과로 도출된 한국식 소스에 대한 한국 및 중국 소비자의 교차문화적 기호도 연구 결과는 향후 한국식 소스를 개발하고 세계화 하는데 있어 유용한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 보이며, 이를 통해 한국식 향미를 세계화하는 데 있어 이바지할 수 있을 것으로 여겨진다.

This study was conducted to develop food for the elderly, which is easier to chew and swallow, using gelification. Various foods for the elderly with chewing and swallowing difficulties were used for sensory assessment. The sensory panel consisted of 10 dieticians (10 women) working in nursing care facilities. The sensory optimal composite recipes were determined by the central composite design (CCD). The optimum formulation of hot pepper paste stir fried pork calculated by the numerical and graphical method was 1.48 g of sugar and 18.97 g of hot pepper paste. The optimum formulation of seasoned spinach was 8.0 g of sesame oil and 5.41 g of soy sauce. Moisture content, hardness, and adhesiveness of hot pepper paste stir fried pork was 76.49%, 2.50, and -1.20, respectively. Moisture content, hardness, and adhesiveness of seasoned spinach was 83.48%, 2.27, and -1.17, respectively. This study provides the basic materials for the development of easily chewable and swallowable foods for the elderly, which can reduce the risk of food going down the wrong pipe, and the preference can be improved by eating solid food instead of porridge or liquid food. The development of food for the elderly, which takes the difficulties in chewing and swallowing among the elderly into consideration and reflects their preference and has sufficient amount of nutrients, is important to enable the elderly to enjoy their meals and it is one of the biggest challenges in Korea, as Korean society is aging rapidly.

This study was conducted to develop for the elderly food that is safe, well-shaped, and easy to chew and swallow, using gelification. Gelatin, which has low adhesiveness, thereby lowering the possibility of being swallowed wrongly into the respiratory track, was used as a viscosity agent for the gelification. Water and gelatin amounts were adjusted to facilitate breaking the food with the tongue. Various foods for the elderly with chewing and swallowing difficulties were used for sensory assessment. Sensory panel consisted of 10 dietitians (10 women) in nursing care facilities. The sensory optimal composite recipes were determined by central composite design (CCD). The sensory measurements were significantly different in appearance (p<0.05), saltiness (p<0.05), sweetness (p<0.01), and overall quality (p<0.05). The optimum formulation of the Korean barbecue beef calculated by numerical and graphical method was 3.71 g of sugar and 19.53 g of soy sauce. Moisture content, hardness and adhesiveness of the Korean barbecue beef were 78.85%, 2.40, -1.87, respectively. The result shows that food for the elderly, which is easy to chew and swallow, using gelification will have sufficient competitiveness in terms of safety, taste, and preference. The development of food for the elderly that take into account the difficulties in chewing and swallowing among the elderly, reflects their preference, and has sufficient nutrients, is important to enable the elderly to enjoy their meals. Also, as the Korean society is getting older, it remains one of the biggest social challenges.

The purpose of this study was to investigate food preferences and dietary habits of university students in Kyungbuk province. We assessed anthropometric measurements, food preferences, and dietary habits of seventy nine male and sixty nine female students at K university. The results of this study were analyzed with $\chi$$^2$, t, and ANOVA test using SPSS package program. The percentages of students who were underweight, normal and overweight by body mass index (BMI) were 18.0, 22.1, and 27.7 for males, and 17.8, 21.7, and 28.7 for females, respectively. Preferences for noodles with bean sauce, bread (castella, red-bean bread), beef, pork, chicken, ham, garlic, milk soy bean milt carbonated drink ionic beverages, bun (fried, steamed), croquette, soju(alcohol) and tobacco were higher in males than females, but preferences for tangle, strawberry and orange were lower in males than females. Males did not skip meals compared to females, and ate more meat fat than females. Males exercised more frequently and longer than females. Eighty six point eight percent of females and 69.7% of males were dissatisfied with their weights, and females attempted the weight control more than males. Preferences for bibimbab(boiled rice with assorted mixtures), ionic beverages, and beer were shown higher in overweight males than in normal ones and preference for red fish, hamburger, and chocolate were higher in underweight females than overweight ones. Overweight females skipped meals more and ate more meat fats than normal weight ones. Normal weight males and underweight females were satisfied with their weight. The results of this study suggest that university students need more nutritional education, and modification of dietary habits based on food preference to prevent and treat obesity and to maintain their health.
