This study surveyed the status of recognition, effort, and satisfaction of customers on a low-sodium diet in industry foodservice. For recognition related to sodium intake, 34.6% answered 'sure' for awareness of WHO's recommended daily sodium intake. Recognition of healthiness of low-sodium diet scored an average of $3.77{\pm}0.8$. The most frequent dietary effort related to low-sodium diet was 'I leave the broth of soup/stew (23.7%)', and the most common reason for not making an effort related to low-sodium diet was 'I often eat out (25.2%)'. Recognition of saltiness of foodservice meals was $2.84{\pm}0.69$, and the saltiest food was 'kimchi (30.4%)', followed by 'side dish (17.9%)', 'soup/stew (16.8%)', and 'sauce (8.3%)'. Satisfaction of low-sodium foodservice meal was $3.04{\pm}0.71$. Reasons for recognition of saltiness of foodservice meal were mostly 'appropriate' or 'prefer less salty (86%)'. In the analysis of satisfaction of low-sodium foodservice meal according to occupation, satisfaction of 'level of saltiness ($F=5.046^{**}$)' scored an average of $3.18{\pm}0.72$, with the highest satisfaction from 'professionals'. Satisfaction of 'dietary behaviors related to sodium ($F=3.534^{**}$)' scored an average of $3.95{\pm}0.59$, with the highest satisfaction from 'government employees (p<0.01)'. These study results show that despite recognition of the healthiness of a low-sodium diet, efforts toward practicing the diet were less than adequate. Further, 25% felt that foodservice meal was a blend, whereas satisfaction of low-sodium diet was only 19%. Therefore, continuous education and advertisements are necessary in order to raise awareness as well as developing more concrete methods during preparation of meals, such as using a salt meter.

This study aims to develop chicken stock, which is the base of sauce, soup, etc., using various nourishing elements in chicken bones. For this purpose, we prepared chicken stock with varying the amounts of tomato added in order to produce basic data for enhancing the taste and nutrition of chicken stock, improving the quality of stock-based dishes, and developing stock. Sensory characteristics of tomato chicken stock such as water, ash, color, sugar, pH and sensory tests were studied by adding tomatoes for finding out the effect on free amino acid and various nutrients. The total free amino acid content and general acceptance were highest when 7.4% of tomato added. Based on the results of this study, the optimal tomato content for maximizing the overall quality of chicken stock was 7.4%.

The present study analyzed the sensory characteristics of fish stock, which is the base of seafood sauce, such as moisture, ash, pH, mineral, free amino acid and sensory properties according to the additions of white wine in order to improve its taste and nutrition using its effect on the minerals and free amino acid of fish bones. As white wine was added more, water and ash contained in fish bones increased and pH decreased. When 11.5% of white wine was added, minerals such as calcium, potassium and magnesium showed the highest contents; and when 7.7% of white wine was added, sodium and phosphorus showed the highest contents. The total amount of free amino acid and general acceptance were highest when 7.7% of white wine was added. The results of this study as presented above suggest that 7.7% of white wine is most appropriate in preparing fish stock.

Onggi, described as a 'breathing' type of pottery' has significantly influenced the traditional food culture of Korea. It is known that Onggi is an optimal type of storage for fermented foods such as soy sauce, salted seafood, and Kimchi, as air or liquid can penetrate through the body of this material. These foods gain flavor due to the breeding of aerobic bacteria at the beginning of the fermentation process. In this study, Onggi materials from five regions, Gangjin, Yeoju, Ulsan, Yesan, and Jeju, were collected and analyzed to determine their chemical and physical properties before and after sintering. The differences in the raw materials of other mining regions are examined in terms of their chemical and mineralogical compositions, specific surface area, particle size, and particle distribution. Among them, the Gangjin raw material has the greatest mean particle size of $92.29{\mu}m$, as well as the widest particle size distribution. Differences in the levels of $SiO_2$ and $Fe_2O_3$ are shown among Onggi raw materials. However, the crystalline phases formed after sintering are identical, except for the Jeju samples. At all sintering temperatures tested here, Gangjin Onggi showed the greatest porosity, leading to complete air permeation through the body within 90 minutes. These results taken together indicate that air permeation is strongly related to the pore structures in the Onggi body. This is assumed to affect the fermentation behavior.

The salted and dried mullet roe was manufactured by the conventional processing method. The processing conditions were the salting with soybean sauce of 10% NaCl, 1.2cm of thickness, 3m/sec of air velocity, 70% of RH and $20^{\circ}C$ of wind-drying temperature for 20 days. The fractional compositions of free and bound lipids were classified in neutral, Glyco - and phospholipids of the processed roe. The fatty acid content of glycolipids was measured during processing and storage. Major fatty acids of glycolipids were $C_{16:0},\;C_{18:1}\;and\;C_{18:2}$ whose total amount was 7.71mg/100mg occupying 77% of the total fatty acids of glycolipids. The ratio of unsaturated fatty acid to the saturated fatty acid of bound glycolipids was 2.09 and that of free glycolipids was as low as about 0.92. The rations of the polyenoic acids to the monoenoic acids were very low as 0.10-0.78. The essential fatty acids of bound glycolipids were 4.32mg/100mg and a very much decreased content of 1.46mg/100mg at 9 week storage time.

This study was to investigate consumers' recognition, preference, and use condition of processed food of Prunus mume(PFPM). As for the general recognition of Prunus mume, as the age is higher, and as the group of manufacture and intake has a higher level of academic attainments, the level of recognition is high. The group that manufactures and takes in PFPM at home showed high preference for Prunus mume processed food, and significant differences were shown among groups in this regard. The group of higher age and academic attainment level and those who manufactured Prunus mume at home showed high intake frequency of PFPM. 88.7% of the all respondents said that they had had Prunus mume products such as Prunus mume alcoholic beverage(76.3%), undiluted solution of Prunus mume(74.9%), Prunus mume tea(60.1%), and Prunus mume Jjangajji, or sliced vegetables preserved in soy sauce or hot pepper paste(46.3%). The rates of intake experience on another PFPM were relatively very low, and PFPM consumers in Daegu and Gyeongbuk areas were very limited. As for the prospect of Prunus mume processed food consumption, 48.8% and 46.7% of the respondents expected that it would remain in the current condition and would increase respectively. Moreover, 62.8% of the respondents said that they would purchase new PFPM satisfying such requirements above, which suggests that producing new PFPM is very positive.

Purpose: Although the prevalence rate of chronic diseases is rapidly increasing due to an unhealthy diet in Korea, nurses may not have enough nutritional knowledge to educate their patients. This study investigated the level of nurses' nutritional knowledge for chronic diseases as well as for strokes, and the needs for nurses' nutritional education. Methods: This research is a descriptive research conducted from April to August of 2014, on 242 nurses who work with stroke patients, in two tertiary general hospitals in the city of Seoul, South Korea. Results: The average nutritional knowledge score of our subjects was $19.9{\pm}2.51$ (range 12-24). The correct response rate was 83% which was higher than expected. However, many nurses (31-66%) answered incorrectly on items such as 'Drinking low-fat milk is better than whole milk', and 'Seasoning with a large amount of soy sauce instead of salt can reduce sodium consumption'. We also found that nurses who received continuing education regarding nutrition scored higher than those who did not (p=.020). There was no correlation between nutritional knowledge and the need for nutritional education (r=.034, p=.601). Conclusion: The level of nutritional knowledge of the nurses was relatively low and irrelevant to the completion of nutrition courses during university or duration of experience. Rather, the relevance was higher when the nurse received nutrition-related training after graduating from university. Our results imply that continuous nutritional education is necessary for hospital nurses.

This study was conducted to select and screen for an antifungal bacterial strain showing pathogen inhibitory activity against Diaporthe actinidiae, which causes stem-end rot in kiwi fruit. Four bacterial strains were isolated which strongly inhibit Diaporthe actinidiae from among two hundred and fifty bacterial strains screened from the soil where kiwi fruit were grown. By co-culturing bacterial strain #72 and the pathogen causing the stem-end rot of kiwi fruit, bacterial strain #72 showed 81.0% antifungal activity against Diaporthe actinidiae. Bacterial strain #72 was identified to be from the genus Bacillus sp. based on morphological and biochemical characterization. The bacterialization of culture broth for Bacillus sp. #72 which was sterilized at $121^{\circ}C$ for 15 minutes and than purified by $0.45{\mu}m$ membrane filter showed almost all of the antagonistic activity against Diaporthe actinidiae. We have also confirmed that in vitro treatment of Bacillus sp. #72 cultured in SD+B+P(sugar 5%, soy sauce 3%, beef extract 0.2%, peptone 0.2%) medium efficiently inhibited the growth of Diaporthe actinidiae responsible for stem-end rot in kiwi fruit.

The purpose of the study was to investigate the perception and preference of chungkukjang in the middle school students under school meal service. For the investigation, 538 third-grade students in Seoul area were surveyed by a questionnaire and the data were analyzed by the SAS package. The result showed that 81.3% of the surveyed students responded the awareness of chungkukjang, and the motives of their interest in chungkukjang were through home education(60.0%) and mass communication(30.9%). Most students recognized that chungkukjang is the soybean fermented food, healthy food and Korean traditional food. 33.8% of students responded that chungkukjang jjigae served at the school meal service was not tasty. It also revealed that male students had more preference for chungkukjang jjigae than female students. Among the 22 kinds of new chungkukjang menu served at the school meal service in the future, 10 kinds of menu (chungkukjang samgeobsal gui, samgeobsal chungkukjang bockum, chungkukjang sauce dakk gui, chungkukjang dongasmali, chungkukjang sogogi janggug, chungkukjang kimchi bokgumbab, chungkukjang bajirak kalguksu, chungkukjang kimchi buchim, chungkukjang sangsun gut, chungkukjang bibimbab) were highly preferred foods by male students. Therefore, in order to make middle school students take the chungkukjang foods with pride by increasing their perception and knowledge of them, the family should give them many opportunities to eat chungkukjang foods. The school also should try to use more chungkukjang foods in the school meal service, and try to improve in cooking process to make more tasty chungkukjang foods fur teenagers.
