The rapid development of science and technology has brought about a quantitative expansion and a decrease of practical life span of information. Food science, a kind of life science and practical science, can not be an exception. Analysis of food components is the fundamental basis of the Food Science. So I would like this to be of some help to the following researches through the quantitative and qualitative analysis of the contents of the food analysis research papers in food science related Korean journals. Five hundred seventy four research papers published from 1984 to 1993 in the three journals, that is, Korean Journal of Food Science & Technology. The Korean Journal of Nutrition, The Korean Journal of Home Economics, which is three major journals read by people in Home Economics area are analyzed in this study. The method applied in this study is content analysis. Followings are the results of the content analysis : 1) When categorize the material foods into food groups, cereal group is analyzed most often(15.8%), followed by fish and shellfish group(12.4%), oil and fat group(11.8%). The least often analyzed food group is egg group. Among the food soybean is most often analyzed(6.0%), followed by polished rice(3.7%), glutinous rice(2.2%), cabbage(2.1%) and human milk(1.8%). 2) About the analyzed food components, the general components such as moisture, crude protein, crude fat, carbohydrate and ash has been analyzed very often but the trace nutrients such as vitamins and minerals has scarcely been analyzed. 3) The method used in the food components analysis is usually AOAC(Association of Official Analytical Chemist, USA). HPLC was applied to the analysis of many food components like amino acids, fatty acids, vitamin A, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin C and vitamin E.

Beef loaves(5${\times}5{\times}$5cm) were cooked by conventional moist-heat and by various levels of microwaves. The mean internal temperature of the meats cooked by low power microwaves for 5~15 min were not significantly different from the conventionally boiled meats for 30 min. When cooking was made by microwaves at low level for 5~10 min, or at high level for 2 min and additional heating at low power level for 5min, the percent cooking loss were comparable with the samples cooked conventionally for 20~40 min. General proteolytic activity determined with azocoll indicated that enzyme activity decreased as internal temperature increased(r=-0.5779, p<0.05), and maximum activity occured at meats conventionally moist-heated for 10 min and by low power microwave for 5 min. Sensory scores for tenderness were high at conventional moist-heat for 30 min, for 20 min, microwave cooked at thatwing power for 10 min and at low power level for 10 min, in descending order. There were no significant differences in the thiamin content of meats after various treatments.

Three black rices(Suwon 415, Iksan 427 and Sanghaehyanghyeolla) harvested in Korea were examined in their pasting characteristics, and minor nutrients(vitamins and minerals) in comparison to those of a brown rice (Dongjinbyo), whereas Iksan 427 and Sanghaehyanghyeolla were waxy rices(0.4 and 0.6%, respectively). Iksan 427 and Sanghaehyanghyeolla showed similar viscosity pattern with significantly low pasting temperatures and viscosity. Brown rice showed higher pasting viscosity and pasting temperature than black rices, and its viscosity pattern was similar to Suwon 415. Brown rice and Suwon 415 displayed higher hardness but lower adhesiveness of their gels. Black rices contained more non-carbohydrate components and dietary fiber than brown rice. From the amino acid analysis, black rices contained more acid amino acids (aspartic and glutamic acids) than brown rice. Among the black rices, Suwon 415 had the highest content of total essential amino acids(4.3%). Black rices also contained higher amounts of vitamin B complexes (thiamin, riboflavin and niacin) and minerals(K, Mg and Ca) than brown rice. Sanghaehyanghyeolla showed an exceptionally high amount of Ca (12mg%).

This study was attempted to investigate Korean women divers' nutritional status and the effect of their putting on rubber diving suits on the energy balance. For these investigations, measurements of nutrients intake, energy intake and energy consumption during diving work were performed. This study was conducted in summer and winter of 1981. Nutrition survey was carried out by interviewing each individual and the energy consumption during diving work was calculated from the extra oxygen consumption over the resting value and the change in mean body temperature in sea water. The results obtained were summarized as follows : 1) In summer, the divers' dietary intake were 2,454 Kcal for energy, 69g of protein, 16g of fat 578mg of calcium, 11mg of iron, 526 Retinol Equivalent of vitamin A, 1.1mg of thiamin, 1.3mg of riboflavin, 19mg of niacin and 50mg of ascorbic acid. These results showed that the intakes of energy, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin and ascorbic acid were higher than the Korean Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA). Whereas in winter, the nutrients intake except iron, riboflavin, and vitamin A were higher than the RDA. 2) The energy consumption, measured by oxygen consumption and changes in body heat content, used in diving work were 260 Kcal per day in summer and 370 Kcal per day in winter. These values were about 600-700 Kcal per day lower than 1960s' 1,000 Kcal per day. The divers' energy intake were 2,454 Kcal per day in summer and 2,487 Kcal per day in winter. These data were about 550 Kcal per day lower than 1960s' intake. Since divers have worn the rubber diving suits, the energy consumption decreased as compared with the energy consumed while wearing cotton suits. And this seemed to be resulted in decreasing the energy intake. This result also showed that the balance between energy expenditure and energy intake were kept. 3) The mean subcutaneous fat thickness of divers and nondivers were 8.85 and 9.03 mm respectively. These values were as high as four times as those of 1960s'. The total body fat contents wers 25.8 percent in both diver and nondiver groups and showed an increase as high as twice as compared with 1960s' values.

In the present study, an attempt was made to observe the effect of calcium-sources and preservatives on Kimchi fermentation. After pre-fermentation at room temperature for 16 hours, each Kimchi was stored at 4$^{\circ}C$. Changes of vitamin contents(vitamin C, thiamin, riboflavin and $\beta$-carotene) during the fermentation of Kimchi were determined. It was also attempt to relate the fermentation of Kimchi with the changes in chemical and organoleptic characteristics, such as pH, total acidity and reducing sugar. The findings were summarized as follows; 1. During Kimchi fermentation, the pH decreased steady and total acidity increased slowly in the follow order: K-Sorbate+acetic acid, k-Sorbate, Ca-Lactate and Control. the lower of pH and the higher of total acidity, the less of reducing sugar was remained. 2. changes of total vitamin C and reduced ascorbic acid contents during the Kimchi fermentation did not differ significantly from each other. At the begining of fermentation, Kimchi samples contained 20~25mg/100g of total vitamin C and 5~14 mg/100g of reduced ascorbic acid. In the final stage, however, 15~19 mg/100g of total vitamin C and 1~3 mg/100g of reduced ascorbic acid were remained. 3. The contents of thiam in and riboflavin were 30 to 42 meg/100g and 50 to 67 meg/100g at the initial stage, respectively. They increased with the degree of maturity (approximately 2 times of the content of the initial stage) and then gradually decreased. The content of $\beta$-carotene was found to be decreased with the degree of maturity. 4. The results of sensory evaluation indicated that Kimchi added with Ca-Carbonate, Ca-Carbonate+acetic acid and Ca-lactate were better than Control.

Two sweet potato CV.(Ipomoea batatas) were examined, i.e. purple flesh sweet potato(PSP) and light yellow flesh sweet potato(LYSP) which varied in degree of sweetness. On a fresh weight basis, nitrogen free extract in cultivars ranged from $25.73{\sim}26.24%$ and PSP contained more crude fat than LYSP. Total amino acids of PSP and LYSP were 5676.57mg% and 4550.86mg%, respectively. Aspartic acid, serine, alanine and valine were the major components in sweet potatoes. Sulfur-containing amino acids are the first limiting amino acid in PSP. The major fatty acids in PSP and LYSP analyzed by GC were palmitic acid, linoleic acid. The content of the saturated fatty acid was less than that of the unsaturated fatty acid. Carbohydrate contents were $75.43{\sim}79.10%$ and neutral sugars contents were $67.22{\sim}64.85%$(dry wt). Two sweet potato CV. contained the most glucose of all neutral sugars. PSP contained 11.88% for uronic acid, 59.42% for starch. Free sugars of PSP(0.82%) was much less than that of LYSP(2.53%). The contents of thiamin, riboflavin and niacin were similar, and the ascorbic acid contents in PSP and LYSP were 63.4mg% and 48.7mg%(dry wt), respectively. Comparing the mineral content in PSP, K was the greatest element in concentration followed by mg, Ca, Na. The total dietary fiber(TDF) value was 13.43% in PSP, 9.79% in LYSP respectively. The ratio of soluble dietary fiber(SDF) content and insoluble dietary fiber(IDF) content to TDF content for PSP were 57.6%, 42.4%, respectively.

Purpose: To provide the nutritional information of sweet peppers, we have evaluated changes of nutrient content and retention rates by different sweet pepper types and blanching method. Methods: Four types of raw and blanched ($100^{\circ}C$, 30 sec) sweet peppers were prepared and their weight, nutrient content (3 water soluble vitamins, 10 minerals) and retention rates were analyzed. Results: The weight of blanched sweet peppers was decreased than that of raw sweet peppers. From the results of the two-way analysis, the type of sweet pepper had a greater influence than blanching method used on the thiamine, riboflavin, folate and vitamin C contents (but not niacin) (p<0.05). Red pimento contained the most thiamine (0.1 mg/100 g), riboflavin (0.16 mg/100 g), folate ($47.89{\mu}g/100g$) and total niacin (0.11 mg/100 g). Red paprika contained high levels of riboflavin (0.15 mg/100 g) and folate ($44.96{\mu}g/100g$). Orange paprika contained the highest vitamin C content (116.29 mg/100 g). In addition, the mineral content, with the exception of Se, was strongly influenced by the type of sweet pepper rather than the blanching method (p<0.001). The K content of sweet peppers was higher than other minerals. Overall, after blanching, high retention rates (over 70%) were observed in all types of sweet peppers. However, the retention rates of thiamin, vitamin C and Se showed lower levels (less than 70%). Conclusion: The vitamin and mineral contents depends more on the type of sweet pepper; although vitamin and mineral (except Se) contents showed some changes after blanching. Our results can be utilized to determine the effects of cooking processes on nutritional information.

Effect of citron on Dongchimi (watery radish kimchi) fermentation was investigated by sensory evaluation and the measurement of non-volatile organic acids, soluble pectin, and the texture during fermentation up to 36 days. Dongchimi with various levels of citron (0, 1, 2, 4, 6％) was fermented at 10$^{\circ}C$. In sensory evaluation, citron-added Dongchimi showed the higher scores in most characteristics than Dongchimi without citron in which Dongchimi with 2％ citron was the most preferable. The non-volatile organic acids of Dongchimi were identified as lactic acid, oxalic acid, succinic acid, malic acid, and citric acid. There were significant changes in the contents of lactic acid, succinic acid, malic acid, and citric acid during fermentation. Generally, the content of hydrochloric acid-soluble pectin (HSP) of Dongchimi occupied the higher ratio in the total soluble pectin content. Generally, the content of hot water-soluble pectin (HWSP) of Dongchimi decreased and that of sodium hexametaphosphate-soluble pectin (NaSP) increased during fermentation. The hardness of radish in Dongchimi showed the highest score on 23$\^$rd/ day and decreased thereafter.
