The quality and physicochemical characteristics of newly developed Sunsik products were investigated. Sunsik A, B, and C were prepared under different roasting temperatures and times (A: $220^{\circ}C$, 15 min; B: $220^{\circ}C$, 25 min; C, D, E: $230^{\circ}C$, 15 min). Sunsik D was prepared using grain flours passed through a 100 mesh screen, whereas the other products were passed through a 140 mesh screen. Sunsik E was prepared by the addition of germinated grains. The moisture content of Sunsik products ranged from 3.24-7.10%. The viscosity and sugar content ranged from 57-74 cP and $1.5-1.7^{\circ}Bx$, respectively. The pH values were similar among the samples. Sunsik D had the highest gelatinization enthalpy, whereas Sunsik C had the lowest. The viable cell counts were in the range from 3-4 log CFU/g and coliform groups were not detected. Sunsik B and E had higher scores for savory flavor and sweet taste than other Sunsik products.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the proximate components (water, crude ash, crude protein, crude fat, and carbohydrates) and nutritive components (vitamin A, C, E, minerals, amino acids, and fatty acids) of rice flour and develop several rice bread recipes using rice flour. The water, crude ash, crude protein, crude lipid, carbohydrate contents of rice flour were measured to be 8.53%, 0.10 g, 6.80 g, 0.14 g and 84.43 g, respectively. No vitamin A was detected in the rice flour, and vitamin C and E contents were found to be 8.30 and 0.3467 mg/100 g, respectively. Calcium, potassium, magnesium, iron, and sodium contents were measured as 6.23, 65.05, 9.78, 0.17 and 2.84 mg/100 g; the large amount of potassium helps to discharge the sodium. Rice flour has nine kinds of essential amino acids in it; essential amino acids form 45.15% of rice flour's content. which is higher than 32.3%. Fatty acids were barely detected in the rice powder; saturated fatty acids were measured as 31.25 mg/100 g, and unsaturated fatty acids as 25.54 mg/100 g. Regarding essential fatty acids, linoleic acids were measured as 41.01 mg/100 g, and linolenic acids as 2.20 mg/100 g. The researcher used rice loaf bread as the base and developed rice bread recipes using rice flour to make a total of 11 items: 8 items with 75% rice flour (rice bagel, rice sweet red-bean bread, rice butter roll bread, rice mocha bread, rice buttertop bread, rice custard cream bread, and rice streusel), 2 items with 80% rice flour (stollen and rice hobbang), and 1 item with 85% rice flour (rice donut).

A study was carried out to establish the detection method of irradiated agricultural products cultivated in Korea by Thermoluminscece(TL). Samples were irradiated using Co-60 gamma rays at various doses(0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.5 kGy). After irradiation, separated minerals of the samples measured by TL. TL intensity increased with increasing doses and the irradiated samples were higher than the non-irradiated samples. TL first and second glow curves showed maximum TL temperature point at $176.16{\sim}190.08^{\circ}C$ and $143.84{\sim}146.56^{\circ}C$, respectively. All the irradiated samples can be classified correctly by the shape of the glow curve and the glow curve ratio. Correlation coefficients of ginger, carrot, potato and sweet potato were 0.9968, 0.8522, 0.9612 and 0.9071, respectively, that showed very high correlation between irradiation dose and TL intensity. Therefore, these results suggest that TL measurement is an useful detection method for irradiated agricultural products.

This study examined the quality characteristics of Yanggaeng added with tomato powder (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20%) and oligosaccharides instead of red beans and sugar. The moisture content of tomato Yanggaeng was 45.89~33.64% and was highest in the control group. The pH ranged 3.96~6.24 and significant decreased with the addition of tomato powder. Hunter's color value, lightness (L value) were the highest in Yanggaeng added with 20% tomato powder. Redness (a value) increased with tomato powder content, except for 20% tomato powder. Yellowness (b value) significantly increased with tomato powder content (P<0.05) but decreased with 20% tomato powder. In the texture profile analysis, hardness, cohesiveness, gumminess, and chewiness significantly decreased (P<0.05) with the addition of tomato powder. Total soluble solid content ($^{\circ}Brix$) was the highest (5.16) in the control group, whereas that of tomato Yanggaeng ranged 4.46~4.92 and significantly decreased (P<0.05) with the addition of tomato powder. The antioxidative activity based on 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity of Yanggaeng increased with the concentration of tomato powder, although those of Yanggaeng added with 15% and 20% tomato powder were not significantly different (P<0.05). Yanggaeng added with 5 and 10% tomato powder showed acceptable sensory properties, including color, flavor, sweet taste, sour taste, and overall quality. In terms of sensory evaluation and antioxidant activity, the results show that Yanggaeng added with 10% tomato powder was the best, but more research should be conducted in order to improve sensory acceptability.

The purpose of this study is to identify the possibility of developing new jelly product with healthy function by the physio-chemical analysis and sensory test of jelly sample groups adding each 20~80% of squeezed Indian spinach liquid. Sugar contents of squeezed Indian spinach liquid was $3.4^{\circ}Brix$. From chromatography, L-value has been decreased by increasing the adding rate of squeezed Indian spinach liquid, and both a-value (redness) and b-value (yellowness) have shown similar trend. According to the measuring result of squeezed Indian spinach liquid the DPPH radical scavenging activity was 15.67 mg/mL, and its total polyphenol contents was 7.00 mg/g. By increasing squeezed Indian spinach liquid, the DPPH radical scavenging activity and total polyphenol contents have shown increasing tendency. Among textures of squeezed Indian spinach liquid, for hardness, sample group of 20% adding was the highest by 4.27%, and for adhesiveness the sample group of 20% adding was the highest by 2.48%, and the lowest was sample group of 80% adding with 0.91%. From the result of sensory test the sample group adding 40% of squeezed Indian spinach liquid has been appraised the most highly in color, scent, sweet taste, chewiness, moistness, and general preference. According to the above results, it is understood that the 40% adding rate of squeezed Indian spinach liquid, when producing jelly, would be the most compatible rate of adding.

Yoghurt base was prepared from skim milk added with 0.25∼2.0%(w/v) of chlorella extract powder and fermented with lactic acid bacteria(Streptococcus thermophilus : Lactobacillus casei = 1:1) at 37$^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours. Quality characteristics of the yoghurts were evaluated in terms of acid production, number of viable cell, color, texture property, and sensory property during lactic acid fermentation. The addition of 0.25% chlorella extract powder stimulated the growth of lactic acid bacteria which showed the highest number of viable cell counts(l.46${\times}$10$\^$8/ CFU/mL) after 12 hours incubation, and also enhanced the acid production which was pH 4.33 after 12 hours incubation. The L values(brightness) of the yoghurts containing chlorella extract powder were lower than control group, whereas the b values(yellowness) were higher. The hardness and gumminess of the yoghurt added with 0.25% chlorella extract powder were higher than others. Sensory scores of the yoghurt added with 0.25% chlorella extract powder were significantly higher than other groups in color, chlorella odor, sweet taste, chlorella taste, mouth feel, aftertaste and overall acceptability.

This study was performed to investigate dietary behaviors and consumption of health food in cancer patients. The subjects were 163 cancer patients recruited from the general hospital in Seoul, Korea. The data were obtained by the structured self administered questionnaire. The mean age of subjects was 51 years. Most of subjects didn't eat the visual fat of meat and chicken skin. The mealtime of the subjects was generally regular and most of subjects had breakfast. The subjects of this survey liked to eat foods with sweet taste but disliked to eat hot, salty and sour taste ones. The preference for fish, marine products and vegetables was high but that for instant foods and frying foods was very low. Most of subjects consumed the foods that is generally known as anticancer foods such as vegetables and fruits. On the other hand, most of subjects didn't intake butter, margarine, and frying foods that is known as risk factors of cancer. The majority of subjects$(84.7\%)$ consumed the health food The main reasons for taking health foods by subjects were to cure disease$(58.0\%)$, to prevent disease$(45.3\%)$, to supply nutrients$(39.3\%)$, to maintain the mental state$(12.7\%)$ and to recover fatigue$(10.7\%)$. Majority of subjects$(66.0\%)$ spent money more than 200,000 won/month to buy health foods. The purchasing channels of health foods by subjects were recommendation by family or friend$(64.0\%)$, by physician/pharmacist$(18.0\%)$ and by nutritionist or dietician(6.0), and advertisement through TV or radio$(12.0\%)$. The types of taking health foods of the subjects were vegetable extracted food$(60.0\%)$, mushrooms$(51.3\%)$, Lactobacillus food$(25.3\%)$, enzyme food$(22.6\%)$ calcium containing food$(20.0\%)$ and so on. The results of the current study show that although many cancer patients already practice healthy dietary behaviors, there is a substantial proportion who do not and most of cancer patients consume health foods.' Further intervention is needed to explore the effect of health foods in cancer patients

Wild boars have expanded their habitats in Korea in recent years and caused serious social problems such as crop damage and appearance in urban areas. This study was carried out from May to October 2012 to investigate the environmental factors that affect crop damage based on actual cases reported in Geochang County of Gyeongnam Province, Korea. The analysis showed that the damages by wild boars occurred mainly between August and September, and rice was damaged most often while sweet potatoes were damaged most intensely. The results indicated that the damages were related to the wild boars' preference of crop and the seasonal availability of crops. Other factors that affected the crop damage included the slope, the topographic relief, and the distances from forest, stream, road, and residential area. There was no significant difference of environmental factor according to damage intensity, suggesting that the wild boars tended to attack the same cropland repeatedly and thus accumulating the damage. Our study suggests that reducing crop damages by wild boars will require cultivating crops less preferred by wild boars, installing electric fences, and controlling wild boar population with hunting and trapping.

This study was carried out to provide information on the effect of nutrition education program for diabetic patients at the Guri City's Public Health Center. Subjects of this study were 31 persons(male 7, female 24) who attended all courses of "2002 Diabetes Education Class". They were indicated as the 'education group'(EG). Eating and living habits of EG were investigated before the education. EG's weight and blood glucose (post prandial 2 hours, PP2) were examined as well. EG's PP2 reduction was compared with a 'control group'(CG) who didn't join any course in that class. All of the subjects were non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus(NIDDM) patients. EG's average age was 62.4$\pm$8.8. Before taking the course, EG's PP2 was 251.5$\pm$29.6mg/dl, and body mass index(BMI) was 26.3$\pm$2.3 on average. Most of them were stressed out from their daily lives and usually had no exercise. Most people of EG ate meals rapidly and liked sweet and fatty foods. After the course of training, EG's weight and BMI before the training were not decreased significantly. However, all of the EG's PP2s, which were measured 4 times(before the meal at the special lunch session, after 2 hours at this meal, after 2 weeks and 4 weeks dietary assembly), were decreased in comparison with the PP2 which was checked prior to joining the training. EG's average PP2 was more reduced than CG's one. In addition, all groups' PP2s were decreased for 8 weeks. After all, this nutritional education at the public health center was effective in glycemic control for diabetes mellitus patients. Especially, when the dietary assembly as practical training was included in the educational process, the patient's dietary intake and PP2 was improved more effectively. Therefore, this study suggests that nutrition work at public health centers is necessary for the Health Promotion Policy.
