This study was assessed the menu satisfaction and preferences of high school boarding students in Gyeongggido. Data collection was carried out through surveys given to 300 high school boarding students; a total of 274 were usable. Statistical analyses were done using the SAS package program (version 8.2 for Windows). The results of this study are summarized as follows: 54.0% of respondents were freshman and 46.0% were sophomores: and 52.9% of respondents were male and 47.1% were female. According to the results of the menu satisfaction survey, males and females significantly differed on appropriate food temperature, freshness of food, harmonic combination of menu, menu variety, quality of ingredients, appearance of food, and frequency of supplied nutrition information. A significant difference regarding menu satisfaction was also found between grade level. First grade students were more satisfied than second grade students. Moreover, menu preferences were significantly high for omelet-rice, fried rice, pork-on-the-bone soup, deep-fried chicken, fruit salad, spicy chinese cabbage salad kimchi, chinese cabbage kimchi, and all desserts. On the other hand, pumpkin and rice porridge, beef and rice porridge, barley rice, soft tofu stew, soybean paste soup, braised japanese spanish mackerel, and sauteed squash were not significantly preferred. The results showed that high school boarding students' menu preferences differed depending on gender, grade, and boarding period. In conclusion, the results of this study should provide dieticians information for improving menu planning. In addition, foodservice satisfaction of the boarding school students can be improved by continuous menu improvement.

This study was conducted to compare the quality of Korean and imported wine through sensory evaluation and to determined the harmony between wine and foods. The physiochemical characteristics, such as the sugar content, total acidity, pH and color values of Korean and imported wine were also measured. Three white wines made in Korean (WWK), Germany (WWG) and U.S.A (WWU), and three red wines made in Korean (RWK), France (RWF) and Chile (RWC), were used for testing. In the result of sensory evaluation, the white wine made in Germany (WWG) was the most preferred in flavor, taste and overall preference, and the red wine made in France (RWF) was the most preferred in appearance, flavor, taste and overall preference. The overall preference of wine was positively correlated with the total balance in the white wine (r=0.66) and in red wine (r=0.81). In regards to the harmony of wines with foods, the white wine made in Korean (WWK) was suitable for sirloin steak, the WWG for codfish steak and salad and the white wine made in the U.S.A (WWU) for sandwiches. The red wine made in Korean (RWK) was significantly harmonious with salad, the France red wine (RWF) with sirloin steak and in the red wine made in Chile (RWC) with sandwiches. The L and b-values of white wine were the highest in WWG. the L-values of red wine were the highest in RWK, and the a-values of red wine were the highest in RWC and RWF. The WWU was the highest in sugar content among the white wines $10.83^{\circ}$ Brix and the RWC ($8.32^{\circ}$ Brix) was the highest among the red wines. Total acidity was higher in WWU (0.8) and in RWF (0.45) and thy pH values were the highest in WWK (2.82) and RWK (3.35).

This study was conducted for the optimization of ingredients in salad dressing using Hwangdo peach (Prunus persica L. Batsch). The experiment was designed according to the D-optimal design of mixture design, which included 14 experimental points with 4 replicates for three independent variables (olive oil 40~65%, peach puree 27~50%, vinegar 8~20%). The linear regression models for pH, viscosity and color value and the quadratic regression models for emulsion stability, all sensory evaluation of the products were proven to be valid by the F-test for the overall significance of the regression model at a 5% level. Viscosity and pH of the products increased as olive oil content. Color value, viscosity and pH of the products increased as peach puree content. pH, viscosity, redness, and yellowness of the products decreased as vinegar content. Sensory evaluation result of the products showed that general preference for the products were increasingly affected by the increases in contents then decreased as they exceeded the optimum levels. In consequence, according to result from the first stage of the experiment, the optimum ingredients ratios of the raw materials were set in olive oil 52.43%, peach puree 35.07%, and vinegar 13.91% for ingredients of apricot dressing. These results provided the possibility that peach can be applied to the preparation of a dressing, and thereby present baseline data for the development of new dressings. This is also presumed to meet demands of customers who are always in pursuit of new products.

Flavor profiles on regular and low-calorie French type salad dressings were carried out in the two different temperatures(5$^{\circ}C$ and 25$^{\circ}C$). Data collected through consensus discussion. Panelists found less oil flavor and after-taste in the low-calorie dressing, which was to be expected, since water has been substituted for oil to reduce the calories. The two salad dressing had a moderate aroma and flavor of cider venegar, with a slight taste of distilled vinegar. It was balanced by a tomato flavor consisting of tomato paste, tomato sauce, and tomato juice. There were slight aroma and flavor of spices, including onion and galic, and a moderateamount of oil in the regular dressing. The overall sweet and sour flavor impression were in the low-moderate range, and were well balanced. The amplitude of the low calorie dressing was moderate, being slightly higher than that of the regular dressing. Temperature effects seemed to influence more one the low-calorie samples than regular samples.

Dichloroacetic acid (DCAA) and trichloroacetic acid (TCAA) in fresh-cut salads available from the market were determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The target compounds in 3 g of acidified homogenates were extracted with 20 mL of methyl t-butyl ether (MTBE). The extract was concentrated to 1 mL and heated for 1 h at $55^{\circ}C$. The analytes were separated using a DB-1701 column and detected with a mass spectrometer. The method detection limit was approximately $6{\mu}g/kg$, and both analytical accuracy and precision were found to be satisfactory. The linearity of the calibration curves expressed as the coefficients of determination was >0.996. The analysis of seven samples using the established method showed that the four samples contained considerable amounts of analytes ($25.4-31.2{\mu}g/kg$ of DCAA and $18.8-46.1{\mu}g/kg$ of TCAA). These results raised a concern about the impact of fresh-cut salad consumption on human health.

This study was conducted to examine the effects of horticultural therapy on depression and emotional balance of women with hearing impairment. Ten women with hearing impairment registered in the Mokpo branch of the Korean Association of the Hearing Impaired were selected, and participated in the horticultural therapy program composed of 14 sessions from May 15 to July 31. The horticultural therapy program consisted of 'planting tropical orchids,' 'making a dish garden,' 'making plum pickles,' 'decorating a table with flowers,' 'making a hanging pot with succulent plants,' 'making pressed flowers with hydrangea,' 'making a fan with pressed flowers,' 'making a terrarium,' 'making a flower basket,' 'making a mosquito repellent spray,' 'decorating a heart-shaped cup with flowers,' 'making a natural herbal soap,' 'making a hydrangea bouquet' and 'making watermelon salad.' The depression and emotional balance scales were used to examine the effects of the program and the pre- and post-program scores were compared. The mean value of depression statistically significantly decreased from 49.0 points before the program to 43.9 points after the program. In addition, the mean value of emotional balance statistically significantly increased from 0.3 points before the program to 2.3 points after the program. The activity of drawing a picture after each session was effective in reducing depression and improving positive emotional balance by expressing emotions through pictures. The programs preferred by women with hearing impairment included 'making plum pickles,' 'making pressed flowers with hydrangea,' 'planting tropical orchids,' 'making a mosquito repellent spray,' 'making a natural herbal soap,' and 'making watermelon salad.' In conclusion, horticultural therapy programs were effective in reducing depression and improving emotional balance of women with hearing impairment.

The effect of nutritional information on healthier menu choices have been reflected in previous research and nutrition policy efforts. This study further examines the relationship between healthy menu choices and three consumer characteristics - Future Orientation, Regulatory Focus, and Need for Cognition. A $3{\times}3$ experimental design was used with varying food types (burger sandwiches, sub sandwiches, and salad dressing) and the degree of nutritional information (no information, total calories only, and full nutrition information). It was found that having more nutritional information, and individuals with Future Orientation and Promotion Focus were associated with the choice of healthier menus. More specifically, those with high Consideration of Future Consequences and with Promotion Orientation switched their choices to the healthier ones with the provision of nutritional information.

The root of Aralia continentalis Kitagawa(Araliaceae) have been used as an analgesic and fever remedy, and for treatment of rheumatism in Chinese medicine, whereas the young leaves are used for salad. An antioxidant activity of the young leaves of A continentalis was determined by measuring lipid peroxide produced when a mouse liver homogenate was exposed to the air at 37$^{\circ}C$, using 2-thiobarbituric acid(TBA) and by evaluation the radical scavenging activity on 1,l-diphenyl-2 picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical. Bioassay guided fractionation of MeOH extract isolated six flavonoid compounds as active components from EtOAc fraction. Adenosine and two saponins were isolated from the weak active BuOH fraction. The antioxidant effect by DPPH radical scavenging activity showed that quercetin was the most active among these compounds. Hyperoside and kaempferol were also active, while 6"-O-acetyl astragalin, astragalin, trifolin, adenosine, oleanolic acid 28-O-glucosyl ester and salsoloside C methyl ester were almost inactive. All the compounds were identified by spectroscopic methods.
