This study was conducted on a sampling of 700 mixed college students from seven different schools nationwide by written questionnaire to evaluate the value system of convenience foods among Korean college students. Korean students put value on the following categories of convenience foods in order; convenience, taste, price, appearance, appliance to daily life, variety, locality, nutritional value, originality, improvement required, cleanliness and tradition. Significant differences between the sexes occurred in categories as cleanliness and convenience, since females considered convenience foods as convenient but not so clean (safe to eat). This study also conducted factor analysis on 24 individual convenient foods. Noodles laid emphasis on nutritional value; where refrigerated foods, ready to eat (RE) side dishes, on-the-spot kimbab, and sandwiches focused on cleanliness. Noodles. cereal, and instant soup focused on price. Frozen pizza, noodles, retort, RE meat, ham, fish cakes were dependent on locality and traditionality. Noodles, instant food, and packed kimchi scored highly on convenience. Frozen fried rice, retort, instant porridge, instant rice, RE meat, cereal, instant soup, and RE side dishes on consumption on a regular basis. Cereal, refrigerated foods, and RE side dishes laid emphasis on taste. Noodles, instant rice, cereal, ham, and RE side dishes focused on variety. Retort, RE meat, ramen, cereal, ham, and on the spot sandwiches looked to originality, while canned foods was recognized as ‘needing improvement’.

The purpose of this study was to establish an association between the consumption of ready-to-eat cereal (RTEC), milk, and calcium within the context of the most current population dietary practice in Korea. Inadequate calcium intake among Korean children and adults is one of the important public health concern. Milk is one of the best calcium sources because or its bioavailability, and RTEC is one or the foods commonly consumed with milk. The most recent Korean National Health and Nutrition Survey, 2001 dataset was used as the source of data for this research. Subjects excluding pregnant women, were categorized according to gender and age ($1{\sim}5,\;6{\sim}11,\;12{\sim}19,\;20{\sim}49,\;50+$ years) and then by consumption of RTEC and milk. SAS and SUDAAN were used for statistical analyses. Sample weighted means, standard errors, and population percentages were calculated, and multiple regression model with adjustment for covariates were used to determine the predictability of total daily calcium intake from inclusion of RTEC and milk compared to the meal without RTEC and milk. RTEC was consumed by 2.4% or Korean people. Average calcium intake was 17 times greater when RTEC was consumed with milk than when RTEC was consumed without milk. Respondents who consumed RTEC with milk had significantly higher mean daily calcium and other nutrient intakes than respondents who consumed neither. in the multiple regression analysis, milk consumption with or without RTEC predicted total daily calcium intake after adjusting for age, income, and alcohol consumption (p<0.0001). The percentage of respondents below the estimated average requirement (EAR) level for calcium was lower for RTEC consumers than for RTEC non-consumers in all age-gender groups, especially significant differences were in children aged $1{\sim}5$, boys and girls aged $12{\sim}19$, men aged $20{\sim}49$, and women older than 50 years of age. RTEC consumption was not associated with intake in excess of the tolerable upper intake level (UL) for calcium. In conclusion, RTEC consumption was positively associated with both milk and calcium intakes in all age and gender groups in Korean population.

본 연구는 2012년 한국국민건강영양조사 자료를 이용하여 한국인의 성별, 연령별 시리얼 섭취실태를 알아보았다. 연령을 1~18세, 19~75세로 구분하여 시리얼 섭취여부에 따른 영양소 섭취량과 영양상태를 살펴보았고, 19~75세 성인을 대상으로 체위 및 혈액의 생화학적 지표 분석과 질병 유병률 등 건강상태를 비교하였다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 한국인 중 시리얼을 먹은 사람의 비율은 3.8%이었고 시리얼 섭취량은 연령별로 볼 때 12~18세에서 가장 많았으며 남자가 여자보다 많았다. 시리얼 섭취여부와 사회경제적인 지표와의 관계를 chi-square test한 결과는 19~75세에서 연령군, 교육, 거주지, 직업군과 유의적인 관계가 나타났다. 영양소 섭취량은 시리얼 섭취군이 비섭취군 보다 모든 연령층에서 칼슘, 티아민, 리보플라빈, 나이아신, 비타민 C의 섭취량이 유의적으로 높게 나타났으며 19~75세는 에너지와 지방의 섭취도 유의적으로 높게 나타났다. 시리얼 섭취군이 비섭취군보다 영양소의 평균필요량보다 적게 섭취하는 사람들의 백분율은 칼슘, 비타민 A, 티아민, 리보플라빈, 나이아신, 비타민 C 에서 유의적으로 낮았고, 상한섭취량보다 많이 섭취하는 사람들의 비율은 19~75세에서 칼슘, 인, 철, 비타민 A에서 유의적으로 낮게 나타났다. 즉, 시리얼 섭취군이 비섭취군보다 대부분의 영양소 섭취량은 높았으며, 평균필요량보다 적게 섭취하는 사람들의 백분율과 상한섭취량보다 많이 섭취하는 사람들의 백분율은 낮은 것으로 나타나 영양상태가 좋은 것으로 나타났다. 시리얼 섭취여부에 따른 조사대상자의 체위 및 혈액 생화학적 지표 분석 결과 시리얼 섭취군이 비섭취군에 비해 수축기 혈압, 이완기 혈압, 혈청의 중성지방, 총콜레스테롤의 수치가 유의적으로 낮게 나타났다. 질병유병률은 시리얼 섭취군이 비섭취군에 비해 고혈압과 고콜레스테롤혈증에서 유의적으로 낮게 나타났으며 고혈압의 경우 오즈비가 0.19로 시리얼 섭취군이 비섭취군에 비해 고혈압의 발생이 유의적으로 81% 감소하는 것으로 나타났다 그 외 질병 (비만, 고중성지방혈증, 저HDL-콜레스테롤혈증, 당뇨병, 빈혈, 대사증후군)의 경우 오즈비가 모두 1 미만으로 시리얼 섭취군은 비섭취군에 비해 질병 발생 확률이 감소하는 경향으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 한국인을 대상으로 시리얼을 섭취하는 사람들과 섭취하지 않는 사람들의 영양섭취상태와 질병유병률을 비교한 결과 시리얼을 섭취하는 사람들이 섭취하지 않는 사람들에 비해 영양상태는 좋고 질병유병률은 낮은 것으로 나타났으므로 시리얼 섭취가 영양과 건강에 매우 긍정적인 효과를 나타내는 좋은 식품인 것으로 사료된다. 외국의 경우 아침에 시리얼과 우유를 먹는 것이 아침식사의 중요한 식사패턴의 하나로 자리매김하고 있는데 반해, 현재 한국인은 시리얼을 섭취하는 비율이 매우 적고 또한 시리얼을 식사대용으로 먹는 사람들이 많지 않은 실정이다. 그러므로 시리얼 섭취에 따른 영양상태의 우수성과 질병예방을 고려하여 한국인의 식습관이나 식문화와 조화를 이루면서 시리얼이 한국인의 식사에 많이 이용되도록 다양한 연구와 프로그램이 수행되면 좋을 것으로 사료된다. 또한 본 연구에서 사용한 data는 횡단적인 자료이므로 많은 제한점이 있는 것으로 생각되며 앞으로는 꾸준히 종단적인 연구도 필요할 것으로 사료되며, 시리얼, 당, 기타 가공식품 등의 과잉섭취에 대한 연구도 함께 수반되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.

The food choices in childhood have high a probability of being carried through into their adulthood life, which then contributes to the risk of many non-communicable diseases. Therefore, there is a need to gather some information about children's views on foods which may influence their food choices for planning a related dietary intervention or programme. This paper aimed to explore the views of children on foods and the types of foods which are usually consumed by children under four food groups (snacks, fast foods, cereals and cereal products; and milk and dairy products) by using focus group discussions. A total of 33 school children aged 7-9 years old from Selangor and Kuala Lumpur participated in the focus groups. Focus groups were audio-taped, transcribed and analyzed according to the listed themes. The outcomes show that the children usually consumed snacks such as white bread with spread or as a sandwich, local cakes, fruits such as papaya, mango and watermelon, biscuits or cookies, tea, chocolate drink and instant noodles. Their choices of fast foods included pizza, burgers, French fries and fried chicken. For cereal products, they usually consumed rice, bread and ready-to-eat cereals. Finally, their choices of dairy products included milk, cheese and yogurt. The reasons for the food liking were taste, nutritional value and the characteristics of food. The outcome of this study may provide additional information on the food choices among Malaysian children, especially in urban areas with regard to the food groups which have shown to have a relationship with the risk of childhood obesity.

Nutrition fortification of processed foods with microelements is a popular practice in many countries to improve nutritional status of target population. In this study the current food fortification in Korea was evaluated and the regulations and guidelines for food fortification in other countries were presented. Most commonly added nutrients were calcium, vit.C, fiber, vit.Bs and iron. The level of fortified nutrients and the vehicle foods were variable. vit.C and fiber appeared to be overfortified in some foods and the necessity of fortification of these nutrients needs to be examined since the intakes of these elements appears to meet the RDA. Most of other nutrients such as vit.A, vit. $B_1$, vit. $B_2$, and iron were added at the level of 10~25% RDA per serving size. The vehicle foods for fortification were snacks, milk, ramyun, breakfast cereal, juices, candies and ready-to-eat retort pouch foods but not rice which is a staple food in Korea. The guideline and regulation for food fortification is required to ensure safe and proper supplementation of needed nutrients in processed foods.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: This study examined the associations between food consumption frequency of Korean adults and self-perceived chewing difficulty, using the food frequency questionnaire (FFQ, 112 items) from 2013-2016 of the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). SUBJECTS/METHODS: Subjects were divided into not difficult in chewing (NDC) and difficult in chewing (DC) groups, with 24.17% being classified into DC. Males and females consumed 35 and 37 items less frequently than the other sex, respectively. Due to the remarkable gender difference in food consumption, gender-stratified one-sided survey regression analysis was performed after adjusted for the effect of age, household income, and self-rated health status. RESULTS: Thirty-four items of FFQ were significantly less consumed by the DC group. Females exclusively consumed less beverages and alcohol while males showed the same for fruits and milk·dairy products. Consumption frequency of 8 items such as steamed potatoes·grilled potatoes, stir fried beef, other kimchi·fresh vegetable kimchi, orange, sour pork·pork cutlet, tteokbokki and green tea were significant only in males. In contrast, 17 items including cooked rice with other grains and legumes, boiled egg·steamed egg, Korean cabbage kimchi, banana, and tofu stew·soft tofu stew were significant only for females. Finally, items that showed significance for both were 9 items including loaf bread, ready-to-eat cereal, steamed sweet potatoes·grilled sweet potatoes, stir-fried lotus roots·stir-fried burdock, green laver salad·brown seaweed salads, apples, tomato·cherry tomatoes, squid (raw, dried shredded, boiled, stir-fried), and curd type yogurt. CONCLUSIONS: Findings in this study suggest chewing difficulty may be an important nutritional issue that has to be dealt with for healthful food consumption, with distinct interest of gender.

The powdered cereal sunsik is a partially thermal-processed product that required safety evaluations for food-borne pathogens. Thirty-six sunsik products from Korean markets were collected and analyzed for contamination by total viable cell counts, coliforms, Escherichia coli, and the spore-forming Clostridium perfringens and Bacillus cereus. Enterobacter sakazakii, as a newly emerging pathogen, was also analyzed. Approximately 28% of sunsik were contaminated at 5 log CFU/g for total viable counts. Coliforms and E. coli were detected in 33 and 4% of the samples, respectively. The spore-forming B. cereus was found in 42% of the samples at a maximal level of 3 log CFU/g on average. About 6% the samples were contaminated with Cl. perfringens at an average level of 15 CFU/g. Forty-five % of sunsik contained E. sakazakii, at levels from 0.007 to over 1.1 cell/g by MPN method. In addition, one sunsik product for infants and children showed over 3 log CFU/g for both B. cereus and E. sakazaki. Therefore, concern should be placed on controlling for microbial hazards such as B. cereus and E. sakazakii in sunsik, particularly for the products fed to infants under 6 months of age.

현미의 기능성을 선식에 부가하기 위해, 현미의 볶음처리 유무와 첨가량을 달리하여 6종의 현미 강화 선식을 제조하고, 이들 조건에 따른 선식의 영양적, 관능적 특성 및 산화안정성을 비교 평가하였다. 본 연구에 의해 산출된 유의적 결과들은 크게 다음과 같이 요약할 수 있다. 1) 현미 첨가량이 선식의 품질 특성에 미친 영향 선식 재료의 배합에 있어, 현미의 첨가량을 증가시킬수록 선식의 식이섬유 함량 역시 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 그러나, 그 외의 일반성분, 8종의 개별 무기질 및 아미노산 조성은 현미 첨가량에 따른 유의적 변화가 관찰되지 않았다. 2) 현미의 볶음공정이 선식의 품질 특성에 미친 영향 현미를 볶아서 선식에 첨가한 경우, 볶지 않고 첨가한 선식과 비교할 때, 유리아미노산의 함량이 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 이러한 현상은 볶음(roasting) 공정 중 고온에 의한 현미 단백질의 열분해에서 기인한 것으로 해석되었다. 한편, 현미의 볶음공정에 의해 가장 큰 영향을 받은 것은 선식의 산화안정성이었다. 즉, 현미를 볶지 않고 첨가한 경우에는 시간의 경과에 따라 산화물이 비례적으로 급격히 증가하였으나, 볶음공정을 처리하였을 때는 측정시간의 범위 안에서 산화물 생성의 유의적 변화를 관찰할 수 없었다. 이와 같이, 현미 첨가량과 관계없이 볶음공정에 의해 산화안정성이 유의적으로 높아졌다는 사실은, 현미 자체에 내재하는 항산화물질에 의한 영향뿐 아니라, 볶음공정 중 진행되는 Maillard reaction 등의 화학반응에 의한 항산화물질의 생성이 현미강화선식의 산화안정성에 크게 기여할 것임을 시사하였다. 3) 현미 강화 선식의 관능적 특성 현미강화 선식의 관능적 특징 중, 후각과 미각에 의해 인지되는 특성인 구수한 맛과 향, 단맛의 특성은 종합적인 기호도(overall acceptability)와 일치하는 결과를 나타냄으로써, 볶은 현미 30%를 첨가한 RBR30 선식이 관능적으로 가장 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 이는, 다양한 곡물이 주원료인 선식의 경우는, 선식을 구성하는 원료들 사이의 상호작용(interaction)으로, 곡물의 첨가량 및 볶음공정에 따른 관능적 특성의 비례적 변화가 아닌, 최적의 관능적 특성을 부여하는 배합비가 있음을 시사하였다.
