This study examined the sweet taste perception, perception of sugar reduction, and utilization of nutrition labeling according to the awareness of the self-perceived sugar intake reduction of university students in Chungbuk Area. The subjects (n=419) were divided into two groups: Awareness of Sugar Intake Reduction (ASIR) group, male=110, female=109; Non Awareness of Sugar Intake Reduction (NASIR) group, male=115, female=85. The overweight/obesity was significantly higher in the ASIR group than in the NASIR group for both male and female students. The sweet taste perception was significantly lower in the ASIR group in male students than in the NASIR group. The purchase level of a product with reduced sugar instead of the original products was significantly higher in the ASIR group in male students than the NASIR group. Beverage purchases after identifying the sugar content were significantly higher in the ASIR group in male students than in the NASIR group. The necessity of nutrition labeling education was significantly higher in the ASIR group both male and female students. Based on these results, the correct perception of sugar reduction and continuous and practical nutrition education of sugar intake reduction need to maintain healthy dietary habits in university students.

Flow behaviors of sweet potato starch (SPS) pastes (5% w/w) were studied in the presence of various sugars (xylose, glucose, fructose and sucrose) and sugar alcohols (xylitol and sorbitol). The flow properties of SPS-sugar mixtures were determined from the rheological parameters of power law model. The vane method was also employed for determining yield stresses of SPS-sugar mixtures directly under a controlled low shear rate. At $25^{\circ}C$ all the samples showed shear-thinning behaviors ($n=0.35{\sim}0.44$) with yield stress. The consistency index (K) values of SPS-sugar mixtures increased in the following order: sorbitol> xylitol> control (no sugar)> sucrose> fructose> glucose> xylose, showing that the addition of sugar alcohols enhanced the K values. The yield stress values were reduced in the presence of ugars and sugar alcohols and they also increased with an increase in swelling power of starch granules in the SPS-sugar mixture systems.

Purpose: Although excessive intake sugar may increase the overall energy intake, it leads to a reduction in the intake of foods containing other nutritionally adequate calories. Excessive sugar intake can also lead to an unhealthy diet, weight gain, and risk of metabolic disorders. The purpose of this study was to assess the recognition by college students, their frequency of eating sugar containing foods, and suggesting sugar reduction in the menus of institutional foodservices. Methods: A questionnaire was used to survey 145 college students to evaluate their recognition and eating frequency of consuming sugar containing foods. Subsequently, sugar reduction menus for institutional foodservice were suggested. Results: Most of the subjects (80.0%) were aware of the meaning of sugar reduction. The necessity of reducing sugar in their meals was recognized by 57.8%. These participants tended to check nutrition labeling more. Eating frequencies of sugar containing foods were not significantly different by the subjects' BMI, but they were significantly different by gender, when evaluating cooked foods. We suggested 20% sugar reduction recipes of Korean style barbequed pork, and sweet and sour chicken for institutional foodservices. Conclusion: The awareness of college students and the knowledge regarding sugar reduction were low. Sensory acceptabilities of Korean style barbequed pork and sweet and sour chicken were not significantly different, until the benefit of 20% sugar reduction was mentioned. Thus, continuous education for reduction of sugar intake are required, and also efforts are needed to develop menus containing less sugar.

The purpose of this study was to identify the effectiveness of a nutrition education program of reducing children's sugar intake based on social cognitive theory. This education program composed of 6 units was conducted in discretional activity class of the $3^{rd}$ and $4^{th}$ grade elementary school students. The results are as follows: First, the rate of correct answers and score of nutrition knowledge significantly increased after nutrition education. The scores of nutrition education in male students, students whose mothers have no job, and students with skinny physiques were much improved after nutrition education(p<0.05, p<0.01, p<0.001, respectively). Second, the dietary attitudes toward reducing sugar intake and checking nutrition labels significantly improved(p<0.05). And also, it tended to decrease in preference and intake of sweet foods. Third, the consumption of candy caramel jelly(p<0.05), yogurt(p<0.05), jam honey(p<0.05), and ice cream(p<0.001) were reduced after nutrition education. Besides, obese students' consumption of isotonic beverages, carbonated beverages, and fruit juice was reduced. Therefore, a positive change in dietary behavior appeared. Based on the above results, we confirmed that the nutrition education program focusing on reducing sugar intake applied with social cognitive theory was effective for improving the nutrition knowledge, dietary attitude and dietary behavior in sugar intake in elementary school students. Especially, this program showed the improvement in nutrition knowledge as well as dietary attitude and behavior in sugar intake among obese children. Since nutrition education during childhood significantly influences lifetime-health and disease prevention, it is necessary to develop theory-based nutrition education program and practice systematic and constant nutrition education in elementary schools.

The chemical reduction of Pseudomonas syringae subsp. phaseolicola alginates produces neutral polymers of D-mannose and L-gulose in source specific ratios. L-Gulose was highly sensitive to degradation by 1N HCl at $100^{\circ}C$. As hydrolysis time increased, gulose recovery decreased to 22% after 4 hr, whereas 98% of the D-mannose was recovered under the same conditions. Thin layer chromatography showed the formation of a second product upon L-gulose acid hydrolysis. This new product had a rate of flow (Rf) value of 0.58, identical to that of 1,6 anhydro-${\beta}$-D-mannopyranose and very close to that of 1,6 anhydro-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranose (Rf=0.60). Because of the difference in acid sensitivity between L-gulose and D-mannose, normal acid hydrolytic techniques applied to reduced alginates produces erroneous mannuronic acid (M): guluronic acid (G) ratio's unless one accounts for the differential rates of destruction of each sugar.

Recently, due to the cognition that obesity is the cause of adult diseases, interests of consumers in low-sugar and low-calorie foods are growing more and more. While various policies are being implemented to reduce sugar contents in processed foods, the reduced sweetness caused by lesser sugar content is complemented by using high-intensity sweeteners. Some of the typical high-intensity sweeteners are sucralose, aspartame, acesulfame potassium and stevia, etc. Since the relative sweetness degree, sweetness profile, and physical properties of these sweeteners should be different from one another, it is important that all these characteristics are well-understood before applying them. Thus, the objective of this study is to introduce the properties and applications of high-intensity sweeteners in order to reduce sugar content of processed foods.

본 연구에서는 당류 저감화에 대한 소비자의 인식 및 태도분석을 통해 국가 및 관련 산업체들이 우리 국민의 당류 섭취를 줄이고 당류 적정 섭취 수준을 유지시키기 위한 가이드라인을 제시할 수 있도록 하는 데 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 당류 저감화 식품의 이용 경험에 대해서는 절반 이상의 소비자가 이용 경험이 있었고, 당 함량을 줄인 식품에 대한 인지가 비교적 높은 것으로 나타났다. 당류 저감화 식품 자체 내 정보표시가 대중매체나 주변인의 추천보다 소비자 인식 경로에 더 큰 영향을 미치고 당류 저감화 식품 구매에 있어 단맛과 같은 식품의 내적 요인보다는 건강과 같은 외적 요인이 더 큰 것으로 드러났다. 또한 당류 저감화 식품의 이용 경험이 없는 소비자가 당류 저감화 식품을 구매하지 않는 이유는 판매 경로의 부재와 같은 환경적 요인보다는 단맛과 같은 내적 요인이 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 대표적 당류식품인 탄산음료류와 초코쿠키류의 단맛에 대한 선호도와 당 함량 감소 시 단맛에 대한 수용도를 분석한 결과 초코쿠키류는 50% 이하 저감화한 단맛을 선호하는 소비자의 비율이 높은 반면, 탄산음료는 50% 이상을 저감화한 단맛을 더 선호한 소비자의 비율이 높았다. 한편 당 함량감소 시 단맛 수용도에 있어서는 두 당류 제품 모두 단맛을 50% 이상 저감화할 경우 수용 가능한 소비자의 비율이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 두 제품군에 대한 당류 저감화 방향으로써 단맛과 당 성분에 대한 인식분석 결과 대부분의 소비자가 단맛을 감소시킬 때 설탕을 감소시키는 대신 천연 또는 인공감미료로 대체하는 방향을 선호하였다. 그러나 가정 내 음식 섭취 시 당류 저감화 방향에 대한 인식에서는 천연감미료나 인공감미료로 대체하는 방향보다는 설탕을 감소하는 방향을 선호하였다. 또한 연령별로 50~60대의 경우 당류 제품에 대해서는 설탕 감소를 선호하였지만 가정 내 식품 섭취 시에는 천연 또는 인공감미료 대체를 선호하여 당류 저감화 대상에 따른 인식의 차이점을 파악할 수 있었다. 당류 저감화 식품의 가격수용성 분석 결과 기존의 시판 제품보다 가격에 대한 부담이 더 클 경우에도 절반 이상의 소비자가 수용 가능한 것으로 나타났다. 이때 수용가격의 상승 범위는 10~14% 수준이 적절한 것으로 나타났다. 당류 저감화 식품의 필요성과 향후 구매의사에 대해서는 전반적으로 긍정적이었으나, 현재 외식 시 당류 섭취 저감화를 위해 노력하고 있는 것보다는 향후 당류 섭취 조절 의사에 대해 더 긍정적인 태도를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 50~60대가 20대와 30~40대보다 더 적극적이며 20대 소비자의 태도가 가장 소극적인 것으로 나타났다. 향후 연구에서는 본 연구에 제시 된 당류 제품 이외 다양한 종류의 당류 제품을 대상으로 당류 제품 섭취 실태에 대한 조사를 병행하여 연구 결과의 일반화에 대한 타당도를 높일 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

This study was conducted to investigate and make comparison between treatment which was reduced the reducing sugar content from Chinese cabbage using salting and desalting processes prior to Kimchi fermentation , and control for the effect of reducing sugar content on Kimchi fermentation at $25^{\circ}C$. In the early stage of Kimchi fermentation , the amount of reducing sugar (5.7mg/ml) in treatment was much smaller than that (15.1mg/ml) in control. Reducing sugar content of treatment decreased drastically during the first two days and then levelled off . Whereas, that of control dropped significantly up to the first four days of fermentation. pHs of treatment and control decreased significantly during the first two days and then showed gentle slopes. Acidities of treatment and control were increased continuously during the entire range of fermentation . The acidity of control reached to 0.75% in 3 days of fermentation, while that of treatment was shown after 6 days. Hardnesses of treatment and control using a puncture test were almost constant and the hardness value of treatment was higher than that of control during whole fermentation period. The total bacteria and lactic acid bacteria counts increased drastically during the first day of fermentation and the increase of total bacteria counts was mainly caused by that of lactic acid bacteria counts.
