In this study, Kimchi, soup and stew samples were collected from May to June, 2007, in the Jeonju area, and their salinity levels were analyzed. In addition, housewives were surveyed via questionnaire to assess food behaviors and consumption patterns. The average salinity of the Kimchi samples was $2.0{\pm}0.5%$. The average salinity of the soup/stew samples was $1.0{\pm}0.3%$ in the broth portion and $0.8{\pm}0.3%$ in the homogenized mixture of both broth and solids. The average salinity of all types of soup was $0.9{\pm}0.3%$, and that for stews was $1.1{\pm}0.3%;$ the average salinity of the stew was significantly higher than that of the soup (p<0.001). Beanpaste soup had a significantly higher average salinity $(1.0{\pm}0.3%)$ than clear soup $(0.8{\pm}0.3%)$ (p<0.05). The Food behavior scores of the respondents, with regard to sodium intake and salty taste preference, showed significant positive correlations to the salinity of the soup and stew samples (p<0.01). The consumption patterns of the Kimchi and soup/stews were also analyzed to determine whether there was a relationship to the saltiness of the food samples. The respondents were divided into two groups for each food category: Kimchi groups of below 2.0% salinity and above 2.1% salinity, soup/stew groups of below 0.8% salinity and above 0.9% salinity. The below 0.8% salinity soup/stew group used salt or soy sauce in meals significantly less frequently (p<0.01) than the above 0.9% salinity group. The lower salinity Kimchi and soup/stew groups gave significantly higher scores regarding answers that their Kimchi was 'bland' (p<0.05). The types of frequently consumed Kimchi were determined as Korean cabbage, Welsh, wild greens, radish, KKak Du Ki, and Yol Mu Kimchi. When compared to the above 2.1% salinity Kimchi group, the below 2.0% salinity Kimchi group gave higher scores regarding answers that they consumed 'more than half the broth in the bowel' and also gave significantly higher (p<0.01) scores in answering that they consumed only the solid ingredients, leaving the broth.

The foods are kimchi, cucumber salad, banquet noodle, seaweed soup, ahuk soup, pork kimchi stew, red pepper paste pork chops, beef bulgogi, grilled mackerel and saury stew selected based on data from the 2010 national health and nutrition examination survey. The sodium contents of chinese cabbage kimchi were 688.1 mg in the control, 587.3 mg in the 15% reduced sodium sample group (level 1), and 486.5 mg in the 30% reduced sodium sample group (level 2). The corresponding sodium contents of cucumber salad were 406.4 mg, 345.5 mg, and 284.6 mg. The sodium contents of banquet noodle were 1080.2 mg, 912.2 mg, and 765.8 mg, respectively. The sodium contents of seaweed soup were 459.4 mg, 392.1 mg, and 333.0 mg, respectively. The sodium contents of ahuk soup were 615.3 mg, 534.9 mg, and 434.4 mg respectively. The sodium contents of pork kimchi stew were 1156.2 mg, 988.3 mg, and 820.2 mg respectively. The sodium contents of grilled mackerel were 624.6 mg, 557.4 mg, and 456.9 mg respectively. The sodium contents of red pepper paste pork chops were 723.7 mg, 615.0 mg, and 505.3 mg, respectively. The sodium contents of beef bulgogi were 678.3 mg, 561.9 mg, and 473.3 mg, respectively. The sodium contents of saury stew were 676.0 mg, 574.6 mg, and 470.9 mg respectively. Sensory evaluation was conducted with a total of 30 samples consisting of 10 control food groups, 15%, and 30% reduced sodium food groups. Results showed sodium reduction up to level 1 or 2 in chinese cabbage kimchi, cucumber salad, pork kimchi stew, red pepper paste pork chops, beef bulgogi, grilled mackerel and saury stew. However, the soups and noodles showed significant differences between the control and the 15% reduced sodium (level 1) food groups, specifically in banquet noodle, seaweed soup, ahuk soup.

This study was performed to determine the mutagenicity of pork and ham pot-stew and the anti-mutagenicity of various additive materials on pot-stew by the Ames test using Salmonella typhimurium TA100. Boiled kimchi didn't show mutagenicity and effectively inhibited the mutagenicity induced by 4-NQO and Trp-p-1. But boiled pork and ham showed mutagenicity dose-responsively and pork's mutagenicity was higher than that of ham. On the mutagenicity of boiled pork and ham, the inhibition of kimchi was most effective and when scallion and galic was added with mushroom showed synergic effect. Boiled ham made in USA did not show mutagenicity different from ham made in Korea because of the addtion of ascorbic acid and when mutagen was added it's mutagenicity was lower than that of ham made in Korea.

This study was conducted to investigate frequently consumed menu patterns by the area and season, using the 24-hour recall method. Subjects were 1,041 living in five different Korean rural areas for the spring, autumn and winter. The purpose of this study is to suggest the menu pattern in rural areas for the basic data of the nutrition education program and nutrition intervention project by the area and season. The result are following : Most frequently used basic menu patterns, excluding side dishes, were rice＋soup in Yeoju, Hoensung and Jungup, rice＋stew in Ulsan, and only rice in Chungju. The most frequent menu pattern by the number of side dish was rice＋soup＋kimchi＋1 side dish in Yeoju and Ulsan were rice＋stew＋kimchi in Hoengsung, and was rice＋soup＋2 side dish in Chungju and Frequently used menu patterns by the kind of side dish weer rice＋soup＋kimchi＞rice＋stew＋kimch＞rice＋kimchi＞noodle＋kimchi in the order The most frequent menu pattern was rice＋soup＋kimchi in spring and autumn, and was rice＋stew＋kimchi in winter. The mean adequacy ratio(MAR) in spring and autumn was higher than that in winter. MAR in Ulsan is higher than that of other areas. With these results, we can conclude that there are difference in menu pattern by the season and area. For the nutrition program in the community, menu patterns should be carefully examined by the season and area. The results from this study can be used as basic data for nutrition education program in Korean rural areas.

The purpose of this study was to fad the specific character of menu patterns by sex, age and health risk of subjects for the basic data of a nutrition education program. The dietary intake of the subjects was investigated by the 24-hour recall method. Subjects consisted of male 94, female 394, total 488. To analyze patterns, dishes were classified into major staple foods ; kimchi, soup and side dishes and also classified into 24 categories by the cooking method. For the men, a frequently served pattern was cooked rice + soup + kimchi. For the women, the pattern was also cooked rice + soup + kimchi. For the 20-49 year olds and the 50-64 year olds, frequently served patterns were cooked rice + soup + kimchi > noodle + kimchi. For the 65-74 year olds, those patterns were cooked rice + stew > cooked rice + kimchi. For the normal group and the risk group, the frequently served pattern was cooked rice + soup + kimchi. The most used menu pattern by the number of dishes was cooked rice + soup + kimchi in the male, female, normal group and risk group. For the 20-49 year olds, the pattern was cooked rice + soup + kimchi and noodle + kimchi. For the 50-64 year olds, it was cooked rice + soup + kimchi. For the 65-74 years old, it was cooked rice + stew. The result of analyzing patterns for the most used main staple food was cooked rice in all groups. The results of analyzing patterns, with those considered basic food, cooked rice, soup and stew, showed that frequently served patterns were cooked rice + soup > cooked rice > cooked rice + stew in all groups. With these results, we can summarize that the menu patterns of people in Kangbukgu was the younger, the more non-traditional. Also, the normal group had more various patterns than those of the risk group. Thus, we need further research about menu patterns to provide adequate nutrition education.

The effect of boiling with grain vinegar and citric acid on the dissolution of Ca. Mg and P out of beef rib bone during stew preparation was investigated. As the concentration (0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0%) of grain vinegar and citric acid increased, the amount of Ca, Mg and P dissolved out of the rib bone increased compared with the control. The increase in boiling time(1, 2, 4, 8, 12 hour) also showed the same result. Between the two acid condiments citric acid extracted more Ca, Mg. P compared with the grain vinegar at the same concentration. The pH of the rib bone stew added with the acid condiments increased gradually during the boiling process. In sensory evaluation. the rib bone stew boiled for 12 hours with 2% grain vinegar was highly evaluated compared to the stew prepared with citric acid.

In this study, we analyzed 2-day food records of the 1990 Korean National Nutrition Survey data for 2,000 households, and investigated most popular menu patterns by area, income, meal. The basic menu patterns of Korean, excluding side dishes, were Rice+Soup, Rice+Stew, Rice, Others, Rice+Soup+Stew in the order of proportion for all analyzed sectors. And the proportion of menus with the rice as a main dish was about 90% on the whole. The most popular menus of Korean were Rice+Soup+Kimchi(4.52%), Noodle+Kimchi(4.30%). When they ate rice as a main dish, they had soup, kimchi, and 1 or 2 other side dishes. At large cities, Noodle+Kimchi was the most frequent menu(5.20%). On the other hands, small cities and rural areas, Rice+Soup+Kimchi+Cooked vegetable was common. For the households which salaries less than 5 million won, Rice+Stew+Kimchi is the most prevalent, but households which salaries higher than 5 million won, Noodle+Kimchi was most frequent. At breakfast and dinner, the proportion of Rice+Stew+Kimchi+Cooked vegetable was 4.70%. But at lunch, Noodle+Kimchi was the most frequent and other menu combinations based on noodle were also common. Therefore most households showed conventional rice based menu patterns, but these patterns were decreasing for the large cities, and high income households. Especially at lunch, they used various menus which were not based on rice.

This study was conducted to provide fundamental data for the Korean food service industry by researching the awareness and consumption tendencies of 180 domestic foreign residents towards Korean meat dishes. The results showed differences in the preferred types of food depending on gender; men tended to like meats, followed by stews, and rice, whereas women tended to like meats, followed by rice, and stew. The foreigners who participated in this research dined at Korean restaurants at least 20 times per month on average, regardless of their place of residence. Dishes with the lowest intake were suyuk (boiled meat, 66.7%) and dakbokkeumtang (sauteed chicken stew, 67.8%) and dishes with the highest intake tended to be roasts, which are relatively easier to prepare. The types of preferred food were in the order of galbi, bulgogi, and dakgalbi, and the least favored foods were yukgaejang, followed by suyuk, and seollengtang. "It is delicious" was the response found most frequently as a reason for preference regardless of the type of meat dish, and the reason for distaste was: "It is not delicious" This demonstrated that taste was the most important factor when visiting a Korean restaurant. Unexpectedly, sirloin roast, beef galbi stew, chicken stew, samgyetang, and dakbokumtang were not favored because of unfamiliar aroma and taste. In the case of galbi, "It is not very sanitary" was the main factor in responses. For areas of improvement, food sanitation, meat smells left on clothes, and smoke generated during roasting were factors with a high degree of importance, whereas the use of gas burners and the blackening of bowls were found to have a lower degree of importance.
