The waste rates of 98 food items after pre-preparation were surveyed to provide database for good menu planning. The waste rates turned out 0-64.27% in vegetables, 6.38-7.03% in potatoes, 6.25-68.75% in fishes and shellfishes, 16.61% in eggs, and 16.00-56.84% in fruits. Foods with high waste rates were vegetables, fishes and shellfishes. Survey results were compared with other food composition tables. Foods with 30% higher waste rate than other food composition tables were squash leaf, pacific ocean perch, sweet potato stalk, water cress, green peas, alaska pollack, bluefin tuna, beka squid, crown daisy, dodok, amaranth, beef ribs. Food which waste rates turned out to be decreased by about 30% in this study were corb shell, pomfret, sea mussel, warty sea squirt. For the menu planning, reasonaly exact waste rates for each food items are essential. Since survey results show significant deviations, there should be more studies for exact waste rates for each food.

This study was undertaken to analyze the iodine content in commonly donsumed Korean foods. Food samples were purchased from 3 randomly selected markets. The iodine contents in foods were determined by nuetron activation analysis (NAA). All irradiation of food samples were done at a pnueumatic transfer system (thermal nuetron flux : 1 $\times$1013n/$\textrm{cm}^2$.s) of the TRIGA MarkIII research reactor in the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute . The results indicated that the iodine content was high in seaweeds, fishes, and iodine-enriched eggs in that order and very low in grain, beans , fruits and vegetables. Edible seaweeds contained iodine levels of between 13,700 and 1,790, 600$\mu\textrm{g}$/kg. Levels of iodine in fishes and shellfishes were between 478 and 2, 840$\mu\textrm{g}$/kg. Ordinary eggs contained 314$\mu\textrm{g}$/kg iodine, but iodine -enriched eggs contained 1,869$\mu\textrm{g}$/kg. The average concentration of iodine in milk was 207$\mu\textrm{g}$/kg. There was seasonal variation in the iodine content of milk , levels were highest in winter milk(230$\mu\textrm{g}$/kg) and lowest in summer milk(180$\mu\textrm{g}$/kg).The idodine contents of most vegetables and fruits were below 10$\mu\textrm{g}$/kg. The iodine contents of most vegetables and fruits were below 10$\mu\textrm{g}$/kg. From high to low , the sequence of foods with high iodine content in one serving was as follows ; sea tangle , sea mustard, iodine-enriched eggs, fish , laver and milk. This study may provide basic data on the iodine content of foods consumed by Korean which have not yet been analyzed .

Nitrate and nitrite, which readily produce N-nitrosamines by reaction with secondary amines, are widely distributed in natural products such as vegetables and cereals, and are also used as a color fixation in meat products or fish roes. This experiment was carried out to determine the contents of nitrate and nitrite in foods such as fermented sea foods and fresh vegetables purchased at markets in Korea. The contents of nitrate were $0.74\sim13.81\;ppm$ for fermented sea foods and $4.0\sim1,572.5\;ppm$for fresh vegetables. As for vegetables, the nitrate levels of edible herbs were relatively higher than those of greens, fruits and rootcrops. The nitrite contents in fermented demoisells(Chromis notatus), fermented shrimp, fermented small squid, fermented anchovy and salted Alaska pollack roe were very little, while those in fermented hairtail and fermented entrails were not detected. As for vegetables, nitrite levels found for cabbage and lettuce were relatively as high as 3.8 ppm and $2.5\sim2.9\;ppm$, respectively, but were not detected in Korean cabbage, green perilla leaf, pepper, garlic and burdock. Of vegetables, the nitrate values in the outer part of Korean cabbage, stems of water cress and leaves of green onion were higher than in the other parts. Little variety of the nitrate levels were found during 4 days storage. In the comparison of low temperature storage and room temperature storage, lettuce, pumpkin and spinach contained higher levels of nitrate at low temperature storage, while eggplant and green onion, at room temperature storage.

This study was performed to investigate the influence of dietary fibers from the whole foods on the serum lipid level and bowel function in rats. The fiber sources of experimental diets were prepared by drying and milling of cereal(rice bran), vegetables(Korean cabbage, radish), fruit(apple), and sea weeds(laver, sea tangle). Each of fiber sources was mixed into the diet to make the 5% level of total dietary fiber. Male rats of Sprague-Dawley strain were blocked into 8 groups : FF, CC, CE, V1, V2, ER, S1, and S2. The animals were fed ad libitum each of experimental diets for 4 weeks. Serum triglyceride level was not significantly different among groups. The laver group showed the lowest level in the serum total cholesterol. The Korean cabbage group showed the highest level in the serum HDL cholesterol. The longest transit time was observed in the fiber free group and the shortest transit time was observed in the sea tangle group. Absorption rates of calcium were especially lower in the Korean cabbage and the sea tangle groups than the other groups. Magnesium and phosphorus absorption rates were influenced by SDF(Soluble Dietary Fiber) intake and TDF(Total Dietary Fiber) intake, respectively. Mucosa weight in the small intestine showed the tendency to increase by increasing of IDF (Insoluble Dietary Fiber) intake. especially the Korean cabbage group was the heaviest. The activity of maltase in the mucosa of small intestine was the lowest in the radish group.

Sea-divers(woman) are living in coastal villages and their principal daily work is to dive into sea water in order to get sea-weeds, pearls etc. They are able to be stayed inside the water for a relatively long period and at the same time have a hard physical work during the period. Besides these works, they work also on farms and in homes in their rest time. Hwa-Jeon-Min('fire-field' farmers) are living in higher mountainous areas (plateau areas) and they burn off the ground for cultivation and obtain the crops on which they are living. Usually, they are far apart from cities and markets. The above mentioned two groups are special social groups in this country, consequently are interested in their food and nutritional habbits. The summarized surveyed results are as follows (See the Tables 1, 2, and 3). 1. In case of Sea-divers(woman): a. Staple foods are cereals, vegetables, and fishes and shell-fishes. These foods occupy 40%, 15%, and 24% respectively of all the foods intaken. b. Relatively large amount of protein and fat are intaken. Especially animal protein shows 64% of total protein intaken. c. Intake of vitamin $B_2$ is low but all other nutrients are intaken in relatively good amount. 2. In case of Hwa-Jeon-Min ('fire-field' farmers): a. Staple foods are cereals, potatoes, and vegetables. These foods occupy 61%, 19%, and 14% respectively of all the foods intaken. b. Intaken amount of animal foods is only 7 grams and this figure is only 0.1% of total foods intaken. c. Intake of animal protein is 0.4 to 0.6 grams per day and that of fats is 8 to 10 grams only. d. Intake of carbohydrate is very high. The calorie derived from the carbohydrate is 86% of total calorie intaken. e. Intakes of calcium, vitamin A, Vitamin $B_1$, Vitamin $B_2$, and niacin are low.
