The purpose of this study was to investigate the need to develop foods for the elderly based on their food preferences. A one-to-one survey method was used for data collection, and the survey was conducted on 165 elderly people (male: 47, female: 118) attending senior welfare centers in Seoul. The results of this study show that the preferred cooking method was steaming rather than stir-frying. Vegetables (4.24), fruits (4.22), Kimchi (3.87), fish (3.83), tofu (3.81), rice-cakes (3.65), dairy products/eggs (3.47), meat (3.45), noodles (3.44), seafood (3.44), poultry (3.23), bread/cookies (3.10) showed high preferences in order (p<0.05). The respondent's chewing & swallowing degree were "Not uncomfortable chew" 31.5%, "Hard food, and a big food is a little difficult to intake". 37%, "Hard food, and a big food is difficult to intake" 11.5%, "Small food, and soft foods can intake" 11.5%, and "It is difficult to intake solid food" 1.2%. Foods that were difficult to chew were meat 28.3%, seafood 15.2%, vegetables 15.2%, nuts 14.1%, fruits 12.0%, Kimchi 8.7%, and other 6.5%. For respondents, the most important factors affecting choice of elderly foods were flavor (48.5%), hygiene (43.0%), and nutrition (36.4%). The elderly wanted "Ready to eat (RTE)" 53.9%, "Ready to heat (RTH)" 15.8%, "Ready to cook (RTC)" 21.2%, and 'Fresh cut product" 9.1%.

This study evaluated the antimicrobial effects of meat processing-related organic acids on Burkholderia thailandensis (Burkholderia pseudomallei surrogate) with different water activities. B. thailandensis KACC12027 (4 log CFU/mL) was inoculated in microwell plates containing tryptic soy broth pH-adjusted to 4, 5, 6, and 7 with ascorbic acid, citric acid, and lactic acid and with water activities adjusted to 0.94, 0.96, 0.98, and 1.0 with NaCl, followed by incubation at $35^{\circ}C$ for 30 h. The optical density (OD) of the samples was measured at 0, 3, 6, 12, 24, and 30 h at 595 nm to estimate the growth of B. thailandensis. Growth of B. thailandensis was observed only at water activity of 1.0. In general, more bacterial growth (p<0.05) was observed at pH 6 than at pH 7, and the antimicrobial effects of the organic acids on B. thailandensis were in the following order: Ascorbic acid > lactic acid > citric acid after incubation at $35^{\circ}C$ for 30 h. These results indicate that organic acids in meat processing-related formulations should be useful in decreasing the risk related to an emerging high risk agent (B. pseudomallei).

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).

Ready-to-eat (RTE) Jokbal (Pig's trotter), which consists of pig's feet cooked in soy sauce and various spices, is a very popular and widely sold in Korean retail markets. Commercially, the anaerobically packed Jokbal have also become a popular RTE food in several convenience stores. This study evaluates the effects of storage temperature and packaging methods for the growth of C. perfringens in Jokbal. Growth kinetic parameters of C. perfringens in aerobically and anaerobically packed Jokbals are determined at each temperature by the modified Gompertz equation. The lag time, specific growth rate, and maximum population density of C. perfringens are being analyzed as a function of temperature and packaging method. The minimum growth temperature of C. perfringens in aerobically and anaerobically packed Jokbal is $24^{\circ}C$ and $18^{\circ}C$, respectively. The C. perfringens in Jokbal did not grow under conditions of over $50^{\circ}C$ regardless of the packaging methods, indicating that the holding temperature of Jokbal in markets must be maintained at above $50^{\circ}C$ or below $18^{\circ}C$. Growth of C. perfringens in anaerobically packed Jokbal is faster than in aerobically packed Jokbal when stored under the same conditions. This indicates that there are a higher risks associated with C. perfringens for anaerobically packed meat products.

The inclusion of crude ginger rhizome (zingiber officinale) extract at 0.5 to 1.0% (v/w) in the marination of marginally acceptable lean beef improved meat tenderness by 20-30% in the absence of 2% salt and by 35-45% in the presence of 2% salt. Ginger extract also retarded the development of rancidity and increased shelf-life of precooked lean beef two-fold in saran-wrap (no vacuum) storage at $4^{\circ}C$. Ginger rhizome improves the palatability and acceptability of lean beef from carcasses of marginal quality. It is particularly beneficial for the preparation of pre-cooked ready-to-eat beef products that are not vacuum-packaged.

This study is to research the use and the demand of the elderly generation that pursue economic ability and active lifestyle. The composition of the meals were "homemade meals" 65.3%, "homemade & convenience meals" 26.7% overall. For the "never miss a meal" category, 70-74 years old was 48.3%, over 80 years old was 60.0%. The elderly under 70 years old showed a high frequency in the use of alternative meals (p < 0.05) and the elderly with higher education used the alternative meals more frequently (p < 0.01). The rice-cakes, bread, tuna cans, Korean side-dishes, beverages, meat, cup-noodles and seafood as alternative meals are in the order of most frequency. Also, 96.0%, 59.0% and 46.5% of the elderly had experience in using "Ready to eat (RTE)", "Ready to heat (RTH)" and "Ready to cook (RTC)". The oldest group surveyed, the elderly at the age of 80 years old and above showed lower preference for "completely cooked state" but showed highest results in the "half-cooked state". This shows the difference between people's perception and the behavior that showed high frequency of 96.0% in the experience with "RTE". This can be inferred that the elderly needs the development of convenience food that is moderately packaged according to the newer lifestyle where the elderly live independent from their children. Moreover, there is a higher demand in the healthy convenience food, which means that there is a need for development in the quality of the convenience food that will allow more faith in convenience food by the elderly.

2006년 1월부터 12월까지 인천관내에 유통 중인 식육부산물을 이용한 복합즉석조리 제품 총 51건을 대상으로 안전성을 검사하였다. 주재료인 식육부산물은 납, 카드뮴, 수은 등 유해중금속 3종의 함량과 발생빈도가 높은 식중독균 9종의 오염여부를 조사하였다. 곱창전골의 주재료인 곱창의 경우는 잔류 ABS도 검사하였다. 복합즉석조리 식품에 포함되어있는 소스류는 대장균군을, 야채류는 잔류농약을 검사하였다. 유해중금속 검사 결과 제품 유형별로 납 $0.073{\sim}0.112ppm$, 카드뮴 $0.006{\sim}0.013ppm$, 수은 $0.746{\sim}0.978ppb$로 조사되어 외국이나 우리나라의 일반식품에 대한 허용기준 보다는 낮은 수준으로 나타났다. 곱창에 대하여 잔류 ABS를 검사한 결과 $0.8ppm{\sim}57.6ppm$(평균 10.3 ppm)이 검출되었다. 식품에 대한 ABS의 허용기준이 정해진 것은 없으나 먹는 물의 허용기준이 0.5ppm인 것과 비교하면 곱창에서 검출되는 ABS의 평균값은 먹는물의 20배를 초과한 수치이다. 식중독균의 오염여부를 조사한 결과 Staphylococcus aureus가 전체 51건 중에서 11건이 분리되어 21.6%의 높은 검출율을 나타냈다. Salmonella spp.는 1건(2.0%)이 검출되었고, Clostridium perfringens는 3건(5.9%)이었다. 제품 유형별로는 곱착전골에 들어있는 곱창 34건 중 12건에서 식중독균이 분리되어 35.3%의 가장 높은 검출율을 보였으며, 부대찌개의 주재료인 햄과 소시지는 25%(2/8), 기타 식육부산물 재료는 20%(1/5)의 검출율을 나타냈다. 선지찌개 중의 선지에서는 식중독균이 검출되지 않았다. 소스류에서 검출된 대장균군은 28.4%(27/95)의 높은 검출율을 보였다. 부재료인 야채류의 잔류농약 검사 결과 총 45건의 시료중 4건에서 농약이 검출되었는데, 클로로타로닐 2.8 ppm, EPN 10.3 ppm, 클로로피리포스 0.4 ppm, 인독사카브 0.7 ppm이었다. 콩나물 33건에서 켑탄과 카벤다짐을 분석한 결과 모두 검출되지 않았다. 연구결과 시판되고 있는 식육부산물을 이용한 복합즉석 조리 식품은 위생상 많은 문제점을 가지고 있었다. 이러한 문제점온 해결하기 위해 현재보다 폭넓고 광범위한 검사가 필요할 것이며, 국민이 안심하고 선택해서 먹을 수 있는 식육부산물을 이용한 복합즉석조리 식품의 생산을 위한 기준과 규격의 보완이 시급한 실정이다.

Listeria monocytogenes poses an increasing health risk, which in part is due to increasing health risk, consumption of ready-to-eat food products and the introduction of increasing numbers of food products from regions with different dietary habits. L. monocytogenes can be present in meat, shellfish, vegetables, unpasteurised milk and soft cheese and poses a risk if food containing these products is stored at refrigeration temperature and is not properly heated before consumption, as L. monocytogenes is psychrophilic. Amplified-fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis is the method of genotypic techinique in which adaptor oligonucleotides are ligated to restriction enzyme fragments and then used as target sites for primers in a PCR amplification. The amplified fragments are electrophoretically separated to give strain-specific band profiles. Single-enzyme approach that did not require costly equipment or reagents for the fingerprinting of strains of Listeria monocytogenes was developed. Single-enzyme amplified fragment length polymorphism (SE-AFLP) analysis was used to perform species and strain identification of Salmonella, Shigella, Yersinia and E. coli. By careful selection of AFLP primers, it was possible to obtain reproducible and sensitive identification to strain level. The AFLP patterns of L. monocytogenes are divided by the kinds of specimens in which were isolated. SE-AFLP fragments can be analyzed using standard gel electrophoresis, and can be easily scored by visual inspection, due to the low complexity of the fingerprint obtained by this method. These features make SE-AFLP suitable for use in either field or laboratory applications.

국내에 유통되고 있는 즉석섭취 편의식품에 대한 미생물 모니터링 검사를 실시하고자 식품품목별로 일반세균수, E. coli 정성 및 정량, S. aureus 정량, B. cereus group 정량, L. monocytogenes 정성 및 정량검사를 실시하였다. 즉석섭취 편의식품은 해산물함유, 육류함유, 빵류, 밥류, 샐러드류, 신선편의식품류로 유형을 분류하고 식품군별 미생물 오염도를 비교분석하였다. 일반 세균수에서는 대부분 3-5 log CFU/g의 오염분포를 보였으며, 가장 높은 오염도와 유의적인 차이를 보이면서 가장 높은 평균값(4.4 log CFU/g이상)를 보인 품목은 빵류, 밥류와 신선편의식품이었다. E. coli는 밥류 2건에서 식품기준 및 규격을 초과하였으며, S. aureus은 해산물함유 1건 및 빵류 1건에서 식품공전 기준 및 규격 이상을 초과하여 이들 식품군들의 식품위생관리가 더 요구되는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과를 종합해 보면, 식중독균은 계절에 상관없이 E. coli, S. aureus 및 B. cereus group의 오염도를 꾸준히 보이고 있으며, 즉석섭취 편의식품의 미생물오염 관리는 계절에 상관없이 개인위생 및 환경위생에 지속적인 관리가 필요한 것으로 사료된다. 또한 즉석섭취 편의식품의 미생물적 안전성확보를 위해서는 제조업체의 생산단계부터 사용재료에 대한 정확한 분석, 운반과정에 대한 관리, 제조 및 유통단계에서의 위생관리 등 전반적인 위생관리가 적용되어할 것으로 판단된다.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the inhibition of Listeria monocytogenes growth by oleanolic acid under sublethal stresses of NaCl and pH. L. monocytogenes ATCC15313 (6 log CFU/mL) was inoculated in microplate wells containing brain heart infusion (BHI) broth supplemented with oleanolic acid in various amounts (0, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and $4.0\;{\mu}g/mL$), and different pHs (5 and 7) and NaCl concentrations (0, 3, and 6%), followed by incubation under accelerated storage condition ($37^{\circ}C$, 48 h). The optical density (OD) of the samples was measured at 0, 6, 12, 24, and 48 h at 600 nm. After the lag phase duration was observed at the early stage of incubation, the OD values of L. monocytogenes significantly increased (p<0.05) in BHI broth formulated with 0 and 3% of NaCl during accelerated storage at pH 5 and 7. However, the growth of L. monocytogenes in 6% NaCl and at less than $0.5\;{\mu}g/mL$ of oleanolic acid had no growth at pH 5 and only gradual growth at pH 7. Moreover, L. monocytogenes generally had lower OD values as the concentrations of oleanolic acid increased. As expected, the OD values of L. monocytogenes were generally higher (p<0.05) at pH 7 than at pH 5. These results indicate that oleanolic acid should be useful in inhibiting the growth of L. monocytogenes.
