본 연구는 소비자와 생산자는 물론이고 유통종사자까지도 모두 이익을 볼 수 있는 과학적이고 합리적인 등급화 방안의 모색을 위해 복숭아 생산자, 유통종사자, 소비자의 등급화에 대한 실태 및 의향을 조사 분석하여 각 주체의 입장차이를 조화시킬 수 있는 방안을 도출함을 목적으로 하고 있다. 1997년부터 1999년까지 3년에 걸쳐 생산농가, 소비자 및 유통종사자를 대상으로 면접청취조사와 질문지법을 병행하여 복숭아 농가 등급화실태, 소비실태 및 소비의향, 유통실태를 조사하였다. 현행 등급 기준으로 가장 중요시하는 것은 생산농가에서는 무게를, 유통종사자 및 소비자는 색깔로 나타났으며, 무게와 색깔은 복숭아를 먹어보기 전에 맛을 예측하는 방법으로 향후 비파괴 당도선별이 가능할 경우에는 생산농가, 유통종사자, 소비자 모두가 당도를 1순위로 선택하였다. 특히 소비자는 당도를 가장 중요시하며 소량구입 및 소포장 상자규격을 가장 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로 소비자를 비롯하여 생산자 및 유통종사자들 모두가 이익을 얻을 수 있는 바람직한 복숭아 표준화, 등급화를 이룰 수 있는 세부포장규격을 신설하고 등급을 당도와 무게 범위로 표시하는 이원적인 체계가 시행될 수 있도록 등급을 세분화할 필요성이 대두되고 있다.

The consumption of high-salt foods is an independent risk factor for increased hypertension. Thus, evaluating the relationship of taste sensitivity and pleasantness of high-salt foods such as Korean jang products, would help contribute to an understanding of salty food eating behaviors of the Korean rural elderly. This study aimed to verify the association between taste sensitivity and salinity of Korean jang products, and the preferences of food groups and nutrient intake in the rural elderly. We studied 269 elderly persons (males 83, females 186) aged above 65 years, residing in the rural area, Sunchang gun Jeonbuk. For each subject, a recognition threshold of 4 basic tastes and pleasant concentrations of NaCl were estimated using the sip- and-spit method. Taste preferences, frequency of intake of food groups, nutrient intakes, and salinity and sweetness of Korean jang products (Doenjang, Ganjang, Gochujang) were assessed. No association was found between salt taste recognition threshold and optimally preferred concentration of salt and salinity of Korean jang products. However, the sweet taste recognition threshold was positively related to the sweetness of Korean jang products. Also, the salinity of Doenjang positively correlated with the frequencies of food groups and nutrient intakes. That is to say that the sweet taste sensitivity was related to the sweetness of Korean jang products, but was not sensitive to the salty taste. The salinity of Doenjang correlated with the consumption of food and nutrient intakes. Taken together, these findings suggest the need for appropriate intervention and education to reduce the salinity of Doenjang, which is an important modifiable factor contributing to reducing sodium intake in the rural elderly.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to analyze high-sugar food consumption habits frequency among elementary school students, and their correlations with eating habits and sweet taste assessment. Methods: The participants of the study were 164 elementary school students in Daegu, in the fifth or sixth grade, along with their parents. A questionnaire investigated eating habits, high-sugar food consumption habits and frequency, and sweet taste assessment. Results: The average eating habits score for elementary school students was determined to be 71.7 out of 100. Students with higher eating habits scores had lower high-sugar food consumption habits and frequency compared to those with lower eating habits scores. Sweet taste assessment revealed that students who preferred less sweetness chose a 5% sugar concentration, those with a preference for normal sweetness chose a 10% sugar concentration, and those who preferred sweeter tastes chose a 20% sugar concentration. Sweet taste assessment showed that students who tended to prefer less sweetness had the highest eating habits scores and the lowest scores for high-sugar food consumption habits and frequency. In addition, eating habits scores were found to be negatively correlated with high-sugar food consumption habits, high-sugar food consumption frequency, and sweet taste assessment. The sweet taste assessment was positively correlated with high-sugar food consumption habits and frequency. Conclusions: Our results indicate that students with good eating habits had more desirable overall sugar intake habits, and when the preference for sweetness was high, the frequency of high-sugar food consumption was also high. Our study highlights the importance of educating elementary school students and their parents about the harmful effects of excessive sugar consumption, as well as the benefits of adopting healthy eating habits and creating supportive environments.

Glucosyl rubusosides were synthesized by two dextransucrases. LcDexT was obtained from Leuconosotoc citreum, that LlDexT was obtained from Leuconostoc lactis. LcDexT and LlDexT regioselectively transferred a glucosyl residue to the 13-O-glucosyl moiety of rubusoside with high yield of 59-66% as analyzed by TLC and HPLC. Evaluation of the sweetness of these glucosyl rubusosides showed that their quality of taste, in particular, was superior to that of rubusoside. These results indicate that transglucosylation at the 13-O-glucosyl moiety of rubusoside by different regioselective dextransucrases can be applicable for increasing its sweetness and quality of taste.

The effects of xylitol and/or erythritol as the alternative ingredients to sugar on the quality characteristics of Yuza tea were studied. The relative sweetness of xylitol and erythritol to a 10％ sucrose solution were 1.10 and 0.71 respectively and there were no change after the addition of the acid and flavoring agent. The sensory characteristics of Yuza tea with xylitol were quite similar in many attributes to Yuza tea with sugar, while Yuza tea with erythritol had many undesirable attributes. Yuza tea with a mixture of xylitol and erythritol(1:1) was less sweet and less acceptable than Yuza tea with sugar. The consumer acceptance test showed that the overall acceptability of Yuza tea made with xylitol was similar to the Yuza tea with sugar. Adding sucralose to the Yuza tea with a mixture of xylitol and erythritol improved the sweetness and overall acceptability in the consumer acceptance test. The pH value of the erythritol Yuza tea was 3.16 and showed a significantly lower value than the 3.39 of sugar and xylitol. The refractive index of the sugar Yuza tea was the highest at 21.03$^{\circ}$Bx. The vitamin C content of Yuzachung with sugar was 34.5mg/100g and the dietary fiber content was 2,80g/100g. Xylitol Yuzachung showed the highest a and b values, but when it was diluted with water to make Yuza tea, the intensity of the color was not significantly different from the Yuza tea with sugar.

Hawthorn is widely distributed in Korea and has been used as herbal medicine for treating various cardiovascular disease, arteriosclerosis and hypertension in Korea. In order to select superior honey tree plant from Korea, the free sugar and organic acid in hawthorn fruits, including five Korean clones and four Chinese cultivars, were evaluated. We also compared these hawthorn fruits of five clones (selected from different area of Korea) with Chinese hawthorn cultivars. Glucose, galactose, fructose and sucrose were the major sugar components of hawthorn. In this study, we observed that sucrose, glucose and fructose content. The highest sucrose content of hawthorn fruit was 188.12g/100g in Daegeumseong cultivar. The sweetness index, which plays important role of taste, was also calculated from the content of sucrose, glucose and fructose. The contribution of each carbohydrate was calculated, based on the fact that fructose is 2.30 and sucrose 1.35 times sweeter than glucose. The highest sweetness of hawthorn fruit was 579.52 in Pocheon clone. Main organic acid detected in hawthorn fruit were citric acid, malic acid and shikimic acid. The highest citric acid and malic acid content in hawthorn fruit were 157.50g/100g (Pocheon 3) and 34.12g/100g (Daegeumseong), respectively. The results of this study would be helpful for using food and functional food products, due to the beneficial effects of free sugar and organic acid for human health such as antioxidants and anticarcinogenic properties.

Astree사의 E-Tongue을 이용한 상대적 단맛 평가를 위하여 검토한 7개의 센서 중 PKS 및 NMS 센서가 1차로 선정되었다. PKS 및 NMS 센서를 이용해 설탕을 비롯한, 과당, 포도당 및 자일리톨, 5%, 10% 및 15% 용액을 분석한 결과, 자일리톨 및 과당의 농도 증가에 따른 PKS 센서 감응도의 변화가 미미하여, 최종적으로 NMS 센서를 단맛 측정 센서로 선정하였다. 이들 감미료의 농도 중 5% 용액을 모든 센서를 활용한 PCA(주성분 분석) 통계 방법으로 처리한 결과에서는 DI (식별지수)값이 -0.1로 감미료 상호 간 구분이 힘들었으나, NMS 센서만을 이용한 상대적 센서 감응도는 농도에 관계없이 일정한 수치를 나타내었다. 과당 및 자일리톨의 상대적 센서 감응도는 각각 1.08 및 1.00으로 사람의 미각으로 측정한 문헌상 관능검사의 상대적 감미도 범위에 포함되었으나, 포도당의 경우는 0.99로 문헌상 상대감미도 0.5~0.75보다 높게 나타났다. 5%~15% 농도 범위에서 설탕 대비 3종 감미료에 대한 NMS 단일센서를 이용한 E-Tongue의 우수한 정밀성 (%RSD, 1.53~3.64%)을 고려할 때 향후 가당 음료 등에 대한 신제품 개발 및 품질관리 등에 관능검사를 대체할 수 있는 가능성을 확인하였다.
