This study was performed to investigate the perception and preferences regarding commercial universal design foods (UDF) made with different ingredients. A one-to-one interview was used for data collection and the survey was conducted on 41 elderly people (over age 65; males: 11, females: 30) attending senior welfare centers in Seoul. Twelve UDF samples were collected, which were widely sold in Japan. Majority of respondents prepared meals (53.7%) and ate alone (43.9%), respectively. The preferred cooking level of elderly food was "ready to eat (RTE)" (43.9%) or "ready to heat (RTH)" (43.9%) rather than fresh cut product. In most, the elderly had no problem with chewing-action (90.2%). Generally, food ingredients such as grain, meat, seafood and fruits showed higher preference than vegetable and nuts. Among 12 UDF samples, pumpkin gratin (4.17) and peach flavored jelly (4.27) showed higher preferences among tested samples on a 5-point facial hedonic scale. There were no significant differences in overall preferences of all samples by difficulty in terms of chewing and swallowing of respondents. Demi-glace sauce hamburger and pot sukiyaki were more preferred as age increased (p<0.05).

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine whether eating non-home-prepared meals (NHPM), including fast food, ready-to-eat foods, and frozen foods, was associated with self-reported infertility in the United States women. Methods: Data on diet and infertility from women aged 20-49 years who participated in the 2013-2014 and 2015-2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys were analyzed (n=2143). Dietary information, including the number and types of NHPM consumed, was obtained from a self-reported questionnaire, and infertility status was analyzed using the following question, "Have you ever attempted to become pregnant over a period of at least a year without becoming pregnant" Results: The frequency of NHPM consumption was positively associated with self-reported infertility after adjusting for confounding effects (odds ratio [OR], 2.82; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.48 to 5.38 of >1 vs. 0 NHPM/d). The odds of infertility were 2-3 times higher in women who consumed fast food than in those who did not consume fast food (OR, 2.73; 95% CI, 1.15 to 6.48 of >1 vs. 0 times/d). Conclusions: The frequency and types of NHPM may be a factor contributing to infertility. Although our findings require confirmation, they suggest that eating out may be deleterious to women fecundity.

2000년 국내 식중독발생 통계에 따르면, 원인식품별 식중독발생건수는 육류 등이 27.9%, 어패류 및 가공품이 26.0%, 복합조리식품(김밥, 도시락)이 24.0%의 비율을 차지하고 있으며, 원인균별 식중독발생건수는 Salmonella spp.가 28.8%로 1위, Vibrio parahaemolyticus가 13.5%로 2위, Staphylococcs aureus가 8.7%로 3위를 차지하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 김밥 중 황색포도상구균에 대한 분포도조사 및 오염정도를 분석하여 위해도평가의 기초자료로 활용하고자 하였다. 서울, 부산, 대전, 광주의 백화점, 편의점, 분식점 등에서 구입한 김밥 총 214건에 대한 황색포도상구균의 정량 및 정성실험 결과, 균검출율은 34.1%였고, 평균균량은 623 cfu/g 이었다. 분리균에 대한 enterotoxin 실험결과 A type 42.5%(31주/73주), B type 4.1%(3주/73주), D type 2.7%(2주/73주)의 분포를 보였다. 또한 유통·판매형태별로는 분식점의 검출율이 42.8%로 백화점(25.8%)및 편의점(12.3%)보다 높게 나타났으며, 계절별 평균균검출율은 비슷하였으나, 정량검사결과 여름철(793 cfu/g)에 겨울철(446 cfu/g)보다 균량이 1.8배 높게 나타났다.
