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.

This study was designed to standardize the recipes of native local foods in Gijang region such as 'Miyeokseolchi', 'Molseolchi', 'Gijangumuk' and 'Seokbakji' and analyze their nutrients. The test recipe for each food was prepared according to the information obtained from the personal interview of Gijang natives and then applied to sensory evaluation. After that, CAN pro 3.0 was used for the nutritional evaluation. The results are as follows: Both Miyeokseolchi and Molseolchi were preferred with soybean sprouts added but Miyeokseolchi with fermented red pepper paste added.

This study was conducted to compare the composition table of Korean food with that of foreign food. Analysis was made for Korean food composition table($5^{th}$ revision), Korean food composition table in Appendix of Recommended Dietary Allowances for Korean(6$^{th}$ th/ edition), Standard tables of food composition in Japan($5^{th}$ revised edition) and USDA Composition of Foods - Raw, Processed, Prepared. The method of content analysis was applied for this study and such differences were pointed out as the classification of food items, food items enlisted, the content unit of food and food components presented etc. To improve Korean food composition table, new food items and components should be added and old food items be eliminated based on the change of people's food consumption pattern. Also analysis for the domestic foods consumed by local people should be accomplished rather than borrowing foreign country's data.

The immunomodulating effect of Salicornia herbacea polysaccharides on BALB/c mice splenocytes was investigated. Crude (CS) and fine polysaccharide (PS) extracts with potential biological activity were prepared from S. herbacea. For in vitro experiments, splenocytes and separated T cells were treated with CS and PS (0.5, 1, 2, and 4 mg/mL). For in vivo experiments, the CS and PS were orally administered to BALB/c mice every day for 2 weeks. For basic data analysis, physiological parameters were recorded. Cell proliferation of splenocytes and T cells was used as an index for immunomodulating activity. The proliferation of splenocytes and separated T cells was 3.2 and 3.5 times higher than the control, respectively. Moreover, when splenocytes were treated with mitogen, the highest proliferation rate was observed in splenocytes cultured with PS. Interestingly, the stimulative activity of PS was more strongly exerted through $CD4^+$ T cells than through $CD8^+$ T cells.

This study was performed to make new products rising Pimpinella brachycarpa N., one of the Korean aromatic medicinal plant called chamnamul, which is a perennial plant of the Umbelliferae family. New products were natural chamnamul spice, chamnamul soup, chamnamul tea, and chamnamul mook as functional foods. The masking effect of Pimpinella brachvcarpa N., on fishy and meaty odor were investigated to test the usefulness of chamnamul as a natural spice. It could be concluded that the effect of added amounts of chamnamul on the cream soup increases the taste and appearance, and improves the flavor and color by the sensory evaluation. The chamnamul tea prepared by a filtration method is better than that by a leaching method on the preference test. In the texture properties of chamnamul mooks by a texture analyzer (XT-RA, Texturometer), the cohessiveness of them was higher than that of the white one.
