Food consumption patterns are predictors of nutritional status at all age levels and vary among and between different age groups. This study was designed to asses food habits and fast food eating patterns of college students in Ulsan area through questionnaries. Data from 330 useable forms was analyzed for percent differences, frequency of consumption, and statistical significance of differences between male and female students (T-test and chi square methods were utilized). Food habit score of female students was significantly higher than of male students. The reason for using fast food chain was 'convenience' or 'good taste'. The most preferred food by subjects was noodle or dumpling and least preferred food was pizza. In general, they had a higher satisfaction scores in taste and service of fast food and lower scores in amount and price of it.

The research and the experiments were on physicochemical characteristics of Makgeolli based on input timing of Nuruk in the brewing processes, i.e., making mitsul with step-1/step-2 mashing, and making Takju with step-3 mashing, to establish the optimal conditions required for Makgeolli by checking the change of physicochemical characteristics and by inspecting culture characteristics based on input timing of Nuruk. When testing the physicochemical characteristics of mitsul(step-1/step-2), pH and acidity were reduced drastically on Day 1 of culture with step-1 mashing and the trend continued until Day 2 of culture, while there was no large change since then. In the sensory test, the aroma was the highest in M3 at 4.47, the acerbic taste was the highest in M3 at 3.65, the sweet taste was the highest in M1 at 3.88, and the feel in the mouth was the highest in M1 at 3.59. Overall preference encompassing aroma and taste was the highest in M3 at 3.71.

The purpose of this study was to investigate individuals' perceptions toward green tea and green tea cafes according to their usage of green tea cafes, gender, and marital status. The survey was conducted online and completed by 200 respondents who had been to green tea cafes and by 200 respondents who had not. The visitors of green tea cafes had more positive perceptions regarding the atmosphere, familiar taste, good quality of raw foods, freshness of foods, good service, excellent taste, and menu variety of green tea cafes. Males perceived green tea as 'good for health' more than the females. There was no difference in the perception of green tea cafes by marital status. Regarding a popularization plan for green tea cafes, the customers felt more need for a tea sommelier than the non-customers, and females versus males felt stronger about having a tea sommelier that would provide opportunities to taste various tea products and develop a green tea menu that considered nutrition and health. Unmarried respondents felt a greater necessity for having a place with a comfortable environment, tasting a variety of tea products, and having a chance to experience tea culture. When selecting a green tea cafe, the quality of the food and cleanliness of the cafe were considered to be most important. The implications of the data are discussed.

As one of study efforts to develop a food product that can satisfy the taste of modern people and increase the usage of the popular local product of walnut in the region of Chunan, the current study developed a no sugar added functional walnut-sulgi. The walnut-sulgi was manufactured by adding walnut powder into typical sulgi rice cake. While manufacturing the walnut-sulgi rice cake, the health beneficial sugar alcohol ingredient of sorbitol was added instead of commonly used sugar to specialize the walnut-sulgi as a functional rice cake. As the result of such effort, a soft and moist walnut-sulgi was produced. The color of the newly developed walnut-sulgi is white and has a pleasing taste, and its consumer acceptability was higher than the sugar added walnut-sulgi by showing much soft sweetness and textural properties. Considering the facts that sorbitol has a lower glycemic index (GI) than sugar and the content of unsaturated fatty acids that are insufficient in rice cake could be increased, the newly developed sorbitol added walnut-sulgi is thought to be an appropriate functional rice cake that can attractively appeal to obesity and diabetes concerning modern people.

This study investigated the effect of salt preference on dietary habits and the body composition of university students. The subjects were divided into two groups: 85 students who dislike salt (salt-dislike (SD) group) and 104 students who like salt (salt-like (SL) group). We found that the SL group showed a higher preference for sweet, sour, spicy, and bitter flavors compared to the SD group. There was no significant difference in the frequency of eating breakfast according to the salt taste preference. The meal speed of the SL group was significantly higher than the SD group (p<0.01) and the body mass index of the SL group ($22.59kg/m^2$) was higher than SD group ($21.04kg/m^2$). The fat mass of the SL group (15.30 kg) was higher than the SD group (12.80 kg) (p<0.01). Salt preference and snack intake frequency had a significant and positive correlation with fat mass. The frequency of eating breakfast, and meal speed also showed a significant and positive correlation with subcutaneous fat. In conclusion, the SL group eats relatively more, speedily and frequently intakes snacks and carbonated drinks, likely resulting in higher body and subcutaneous fat. These results suggest salt preference is related to food choice, influences unreasonable eating habits, and possibly changes body composition. Taste preferences should therefore be considered for dietary consulting and nutritional education.

This paper claims the argument that the taste of own is not the intrinsic value but is determined by the environment or habitus, based on Bourdieu's theory. This concept of taste leads up to a natural stream of imitation and alignment. We conclude that the stream is the fashion which be justified by the major agreement. But the nature of fashion exists in hegemony and determines a sense of kinship or a point of difference. In this regard, popular cultures as a window circulated fashion have a negative consequence that can be method of discriminating the minority and justifying vested rights. Accordingly, we have to become wary of the strategy of control using fashion and popular cultures, and need to recognize the prior paradigm about fashion. In the process, we can expect that fandom or counter cultures based on digital high technology constitute subjectivity and dynamics of popular by interaction between the objects.
