This study examines ice cream products with higher preference as dessert food using Tarak which is Korean traditional fermented milk (sherbet 1 kind, ice milk 2 kinds(IM-2, IM-4), ice cream 1 kind (IC-6)), and investigates the quality characteristics of each Tarak ice cream. For viscosity of the mix for Tarak ice creams, sherbet showed the lowest, and IC-6 showed the highest, significantly. For overrun, at 10 minutes, IC-6 with high milk fat content showed a higher value, and at the final 30 minutes, there was no significant difference among all samples. For melting point, IC-6 showed the highest and sherbet showed the lowest. For number of lactic acid bacteria, sherbet showed 7.32 Log CFU/g and IM-2, IM-4 and IM-6 showed 8.35~8.49 Log CFU/g, not showing significant difference. For sensory test of Tarak ice creams, IC-6 showed milk flavor highest, 4.10, and for sourness, sherbet showed 4.20 and IM-2 showed 4.10. For sweet taste, IC-6 showed the highest 5.05, and for bitter, IC-6 showed the lowest, 1.65. For the degree of creaminess, IC-6 was assessed significantly higher as 4.60 and body sense was also assessed higher as 5.05. For acceptance of appearance, taste, flavor and texture, IC-6 was assessed significantly higher than the other samples and for overall acceptability, IC-6 was assessed the highest at 5.15, sherbet showed 3.75, IM-2 showed 3.05 and IM-4 showed 2.50. This suggests that for Tarak ice creams, sensory preference of ice creams with high milk fat content or sherbet with non milk fat content is high.

Lactobacillus acidophilus KFRI 233, a strain isolated from human, was selected as a candidate for probiotics due to its excellent growth in MRS broth where no special anaerobic condition is required. Both simultaneous and deferred agar diffusion assays exhibited Lb. acidophilus KFRI 233 to possess an antagonistic effect against Clostridium perfringens. Its antagonistic effect was pH dependent Associative culture of KFRI 233 and Cl. perfringens in broth resulted in maximum 94.04% inhibition of Cl. perfringens. $\beta$-Galactosidase activity of KFRI 233 was higher than other tested strains that are sold as commercial probiotics. Survival of KFRI 233 in pasteurized skim milk (4$^{\circ}C$) and Sherbet mix (-15$^{\circ}C$) after 7 days of storage were 71.9 and 105.5%, respectively.

This study was conducted to investigate the general utilization and preference for the western desserts from confectioneries and hotels by the female university students in Seoul and Kyunggi area. The most high frequency of utilizing western desserts from confectioneries was 1∼3 times a month. Five items of confectionary dessert (chocolate, jelly, candy, cookie and ice cream) were preferred by house-dwellers and non-food science majors. And the families with higher income favoured chocolate and pie. The purchasing frequency of western desserts from confectionery was far more frequent in jelly and candy(1∼3 times a week) compared with chocolate, pies and cookies(1∼3 times a month) and sherbet and ice cream(1∼4 times a year). Hotel was used less frequently for purchasing western desserts. Cake was recognized well as a western dessert by the house-dwellers, and ice cream was recognized better by the apartment-dwellers (p＜0.05). And the respondents with food science major had a wider preference for cake, pudding and ice cream(p<0.05).

To evaluate a pigment of the flower of cockscomb, Cclosia critata. as a natural food colorant, jelly-po, candy and sherbet were chosen as model foods and colorized to red with the pigment of the flower. Color changes were evaluated by analyses with Hunter color difference colorimeter. Lovibond tintometer and UV-visible spectrophotometer. Also sensory evaluation was carried out. The results obtained indicated that the red pigment of the flower had a good potential as food colorant, when it is utilized under the certain limited conditions: low water activity such as candy or low temperature. Data obtained indicated good correlation between instrumental analyses and sensory evaluation as well.

The number of food establishments selling raw and convenience foods are increasing in Korea, and people enjoy purchasing and eating foods at these shops. However, there are only a few reports on the temperature control of the refrigerators and freezers at retail food shops. This study was performed to investigate the temperature control of refrigerators and freezers in retail food shops in Daegu. The survey was carried out from July 20 to August 30 in 2001. The trained surveyors visited the twenty retail food shops (four department stores, eight marts/supermarkets and eight convenience stores) in the 8 major areas of Daegu and inspected the temperature control of 48 refrigerators for dairy products, fruits & vegetables, and rolled rice & sandwiches, and 52 freezers for ice cream & sherbet, frozen food, and frozen fish. The percentage of the refrigerators, and freezers with unsafe temperatures higher than the recommended safe temperature (10℃ for refrigerators, and -18℃ for freezers) was 42%; 45.8% in refrigerators; 38.5% in freezers. On an average, the bigger the size of the shop, the better than the other freezers. On the other hand, the temperature control of refrigerator for fruits & vegetables was the worst because they were usually open. Actual temperatures in the refrigerators and freezers were found to be significantly higher than the reading on the thermometers attached to the refrigerators and freezers(p<0.05). These results indicate that temperature control of refrigerators and freezers at retail food shops should be monitored several times each day, and should have strict inspection. There should be more detailed legal standard and specification for temperature control of refrigerators and freezers at retail food shops to prevent foodborne illness from unsafely stored food.

This study was conducted to evaluate exposure level and risk of heavy metals in livestock foodstuffs and Korean foods. Based on the "Food Intake Data," a part of the 2005 National Health & Nutrition Survey and the "2005 Seasonal Nutrition Survey", 113 Korean foods items were selected. 3 samples from different manufacturers of each 113 items of Korean foods were purchased on summer and fall, so total 678 samples were used. The food groups were classified into 15 categories. For the livestock foodstuffs category, meats and poultry (chicken, pork, pork belly, beef, beef feet soup), milks and dairy products (milk, ice cream, liquid yoghourt, sherbet), eggs (egg) were selected. It was found that the daily amount of heavy metals intake (mg/person/day) from livestock foodstuffs is 0.00020 arsenic, 0.00000 cadmium, 0.00020 lead, and 0.00006 mercury, and the daily amount of heavy metals intake (mg/person/day) from Korean foods is 0.0265 arsenic, 0.0083 cadmium, 0.0067 lead, and 0.0028 mercury. Daily amount of heavy metals intake from livestock foodstuffs was low among the food groups. For risk assessment, PDI (Probable Daily Intake) was calculated and compared with PTWI (Provisional Tolerable Weekly Intake) of JECFA (Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additive). Relative hazard of these livestock foodstuffs was 0.006% in arsenic, 0.000% in cadmium, 0.085% in lead, and 0.149% in mercury. Relative hazard of Korean foods was 0.941% in arsenic, 14.676% in cadmium, 3.319% in lead, and 6.860% in mercury. Thus, livestock foodstuffs and Korean foods were as safe as satisfied with the recommended standards of JECFA.

Sodium alginate is the sodium salt of alginic acid, commonly used as a food additive for stabilizing, thickening, and emulsifying properties. A relatively simple and universal analysis method is used to study sodium alginate due to the complex pretreatment process and extended analysis time required during the quantitative method. As for the equipment, HPLC-UVD and Unison US-Phenyl column were used for analysis. For the pretreatment condition, a shaking apparatus was used for extraction at 150 rpm for 180 minutes at room temperature. The calibration curve made from the standard sodium alginate solution in 5 concentration ranges showed that the linearity (R²) is 0.9999 on average. LOD and LOQ showed 3.96 mg/kg and 12.0 mg/kg, respectively. Furthermore, the average intraday and inter-day accuracy (%) and precision (RSD%) were 98.47-103.74% and 1.69-3.08% for seaweed jelly noodle samples and 99.95-105.76% and 0.59-3.63% for sherbet samples, respectively. The relative uncertainty value was appropriate for the CODEX standard with 1.5-7.9%. To evaluate the applicability of the method developed in this study, the sodium alginate concentrations of 103 products were quantified. The result showed that the detection rate is highest from starch vermicelli and instant fried noodles to sugar processed products.
