Sikhe a general Korean traditional drink, is a sweet drink fermented with malt powder rice(or glutinous rice). To investigate the perception and use behavior of Sikhe, 35.2% of the male and 64.8% of the female adults in Daegu and Kyungbuk area were surveyed. The methods frequency, percentage, chi-square test and one-way ANOVA were used to analyze the data. The main results were as follows : 36.1% of the participants usually preferred the traditional drinks and 94.7% of them had experienced Sikhe among the traditional drinks. Most respondents liked Sikhe owing to its good taste. In addition, the responses to 7 questions about the Sikhe were also measured on a 5-point likert scale. The statement 'Sikhe is a traditional food' and 'Sikhe is a natural food' received high positive responses and adults in their 50's had a generally better knowledge of Sikhe than the counterparts. furthermore, 54.8% sometimes purchased commercial Sikhe, but 40.7% didn't buy it at all due to bad taste. Therefore, to increase the intake of commercial Sikhe, the taste needs to be improved, and 59.8% of adults suggested that 'Add other ingredients and the taste can be improved', while 58.8% replied 'maintenance' prospects for Sikhe consumption.

Sikhye is a traditional sweet rice drink in Korea by $\beta$-amylase's saccharifing action. Sikhye has great potentiality for commercial beverage because of It's characteristic taste and flavors. But, the chemical compositions and production methods of Sikhye are little known. The total amount of carbohydrate of sixteen Sikhye selected in Korean market was 11~15%. The reducing sugar by the Somogyi-Nelson's method was measured 0.4~2% as maltose, which has little influence on the sweetness of Sikhye. While sucrose content was about 10% by the TLC and Seliwanoff analysis. It means that carbohydrate in Sikhye was almost sucrose. Furthermore the most of Sikhye has brown color and turbidity. To improve the quality of Korean Sikhye, it is necessary to increase the production of maltose and to reduce brown color and turbidity, without adding sucrose.

A survey was conducted of 1,454 customers to investigate dining out behaviors at fast food restaurants of Youido department compound, Myung-dong and Gang-nam district in Seoul, in April, 1988. The results are summarized as follows; The majority, 85% of customers, were aged 14 to 30, consisting of junior and senior high school children, college students and company employees. The reasons given by customers for patronizing fast food restaurants were the following, from most to least frequent; "convenient to dining," "the adequate place for the companionship", "the surroundings and dining equipment are pleasant and hygienic", "to be able to stay as long as I want". The fast foods purchased by the customers were mostly for a between meal snack or ice cream or drink rather than a full meal. The majority of the customers ate the purchased foods at the fast food restaurnats. However, a limited number of female customers preferred to take the packed fast foods to their homes. Tast Preference was a major factor in food selection from available food items. Ice cream, juice, French fried potatoes, salad, fried chicken, rolled rice with laver, and coke were high on the list of liked foods; in constrast, lower preference was for porridge, fish burger, doughnut, chicken burger and rice cake. Preference by food nationality was highest for Korean food, then Western food, Chinese food, Italian food and Japanse food, in that order. Customers offered suggestions for better fast food service, such as lowering the price, greater variety in the menu, increasing the propotion of vegetables and fruits on the fast food menu adn developing fast foods from traditional Korean foods. The customers, in particular, emphasized a need for the development of Korean traditional beverage of malted drink and persimmon punch, as well as mungbean pan cakes and sweet-spicy rice noodles(docbokki), as fast foods.y rice noodles(docbokki), as fast foods.

Bench scale Sikhyes were produced from rice and glutinous rice and limit dextrins in rice Sikhye and glutinous rice Sikhye were purified by ethanol precipitation and Biogel P-2 gel chromatography and FPLC on Superose 12 column and analyzed. The purified limit dextrin in rice Sikhye and glutinous rice Sikhye showed bot signal of $\alpha$-1,4- and $\alpha$-1,6-glucosidic linkage with its estimation ratio of 4.5:1 and 5.9:1, respectively, by 1H-NMR analysis. Limit dextrins were hydrolyzed by pullulanase. The enzyme hydrolysis products contained maltose, maltotriose, maltotetraose, maltopentaose and matohexaose. These results suggest that limit dextrins were composed of these maltoolgosaccharide series with $\alpha$-1,6-glucosidic bond.

Korean traditional Sikhye is made from rice and malt. Since 1740, there have been many records about the method of making traditional Sikhye, generally used in the folks. And the first records of sugar addition Sikhye were found In 1924. Therefore commercial sugar Sikhye is not traditional. Traditional Sikhye uses 30% of rice and malt (dry weight) as raw material, and main content is maltose. However commercial Sikhye uses only 3% of cooked rice, and adds 10% of sugar, .Even though some domestic Sikhye used sugar, the amount of added sugar does not exceed 115 of raw materials. Therefore, commercial Sikhye differs from not only traditional Sikhye but also domestic sugar Sikhye.

For the elucidation of the metabolic effects due to alcoholic drink and moldy rice intake author designed two experiments as follows. In the first experiment, sixty male and female rats, divided into six groups, 10 rats each in both sexes, were given 7.5% sucrose-30% alcohol solution (Jinro-Soju) and diets varied of fat content (2%, 7%, 30% of diet) and protein quality (casein, bean, anchovy) for 6 weeks. In the Second experiment, six groups of rats, 10 male rats each, were fed the diets containing zero, 5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, and 100% moldy rice contaminated Penicillium Islandicum and the experimental periods were 4 weeks and 6 weeks. The results of these studies due to the toxicity of alcohol consumption and moldy rice ingestion of the fatty liver production and the other effects are as follows. 1. Food intake of alcohol consumed groups decreased to 50%-70% of that of standard group. In the second study, there was no significant differences on food intake due to the different contents of moldy rice and experimental period. 2. On the view paint of body weight gain, the body weight of alcohol consumed groups gained much less than that of standard group, because food consumption was decreased due to alcohol ingestion. 3. In comparison of F.E.R. and P.E.R. between standard and experimental groups, there was no significant differences in this study. 4. As a matter of fact, there was no significance on the nitrogen balance in both studies. 5. From the result of hematology, R.B.C. counts, W.B.C. counts, hemoglobin, and hematocrit showed normal values in all groups including in this study. So we might conclude that the toxicity of alcohol and moldy rice do not effect significantly on blood picture. 6. The larger organs shrank on the range of 20%-70% of that against standard group in this study. The major reason for the shrinkage of organs might be account of decreased food consumption due to alcoholic drink. There was no great changes on the organ weight due to the ingestion of moldy rice. 7. The nitrogen content in various organs in both experiments was revealed at the normal level for the worst condition in terms of the least food intake. In other word, it was noteworthy that the concentration of nitrogen in various organs was kept at the normal ratio as standard groups under the circumstances of this study. 8. The lipid content in the liver of rats fed alcohol and diets containing either various lipid contents or protein quality did not increase. Hepatic lipids accumulation due to the dietary fat content was observed, but there wvas no significances among the compared groups. In the second experiment, the difference of hepatic lipid content between the moldy rice groups and standard group was not showed. In addition to the result of total lipid, hepatic free cholesterol, free fatty acid, and triglyceride did not change in both studies, we might conclude that the toxicity of alcohol and moldy rice could not effect on the hepatic lipid contents. 9. There was no significant differences on the serum glucose level between alcohol groups and standard group. In the second experiment, serum glucose level increase in 6th week compared with in 4th week, but there was no significant differences.

This study was conducted to investigate consumer behavior and perception related to alcoholic beverages and Korean rice wines (yakju). Self-administered questionnaires were collected from 254 male and female adults in the Gyunggi-area of Korea. Male respondents were significantly more likely to drink more often, consume greater amounts and spend more on alcoholic beverages. Male respondents preferred, in order, soju, beer and wine. Female respondents preferred, in order, beer, wine and soju. Most of the respondents (69.2%) showed conservative consumption behaviors, and indicated they would drink a new product when it became popular. Flavor/taste was the most important attribute when selecting alcoholic beverages. The reasons for drinking yakju were "high quality" and "considering health". The most answered reason for low market share of yakju was lack of publicity and marketing.
