Objectives: This study examined the association between ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption and chronic diseases in elderly Koreans. Methods: Data from the 2019-2021 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were analyzed. Dietary intake and UPF consumption were assessed using the NOVA food classification based on 24-hour recall data from 3,790 participants (aged 65+ years). Participants were divided into 4 groups based on the quartile of energy intake from UPFs. Regions were classified as urban or rural. Multivariable logistic regression was employed to estimate the adjusted odds ratios (AORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) after controlling for potential confounders. Results: Among the participants, 71.3% resided in urban and 28.7% in rural areas. Compared to the urban elderly, rural participants tended to be older, have lower education and income levels, be more likely to live in single-person households, and have a higher smoking rate (P < 0.05). Urban elderly consumed more UPFs daily (146.1 g) compared to rural residents (126.6 g; P < 0.05). "Sugar-sweetened beverages" were the most consumed category in both regions. "Sweetened milk and its products" and "traditional sauces" were prominent in urban areas, while rural elderly consumed more "traditional sauces" and "distilled alcoholic beverages." Rural areas also had a higher carbohydrate-to-calorie ratio than urban areas. Compared to the lowest quartile of UPF intake, the highest quartile was significantly associated with impaired fasting glucose only in rural areas (AOR, 1.48; 95% CI, 1.00-2.19; P for trend = 0.0014). No significant associations were observed for diabetes in either urban or rural areas. Conclusions: This study suggests that high intake of UPFs is associated with increased odds of impaired fasting glucose in rural elderly. Further research is needed to elucidate the specific negative health effects of UPFs in different populations, and targeted efforts should promote healthy diets in both urban and rural areas.

전통주는 성장할 수 있는 전기를 맞이하고 있으나 전통적인 생산방식으로 인한 표준화, 품질관리의 문제점을 안고 있다. 이에 sensor 기술과 RFID 기술을 이용하여 품질관리와 표준화문제에 접근하고자 하였다. RFID 기술은 원거리 Sensing과 즉각적인 제어로서 표준화와 품질의 고급화를 이룰 수 있는 최적화 기술이다. 본 실험에서 3차에 걸친 발효과정을 측정하였는데 발효조의 내부온도에 따라 발효종말점이 14, 17, 20일까지 달랐다. pH의 경우 발효 초기 pH가 7.89, 7.95, 7.68에서 최종 pH 3.31에서 2.96까지 급격한 pH의 강하가 이뤄졌고 이후 서서히 상승으로 진행하다 최종에 pH 3.34에 도달하였다. 총산의 경우 발효 초기 0.1, 0.2, 0.1%에서 3~4일까지 급격히 총산이 증가하였고 이후 완만한 상승이 이어지다 최종에 pH 2.3~2까지 낮아졌다. 이는 발효 기간 중에 생성된 유기산과 밀접한 관계가 있다. 당도의 측정은 발효기에 부착한 sensor를 통하여 자료를 얻었는데 발효에서 당도의 변화는 초기 급격한 상승을 이룬 다음 중간 발효에서는 점차 낮아졌고 발효 후기에 갈수록 점차 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 알코올의 측정과 총당의 측정은 아직까지 자동으로 검출이 어려워 manual 방식으로 측정하였는데, 알코올 함량은 초기에 급격히 증가하다가 발효 5일째서부터 대부분 완만한 증가를 보였고 1차 발효에서는 17.3%, 2차 발효에서는 16.7%, 3차 발효에서는 17.1%에서 발효가 완료되었다. 유리당은 1일째 4,171.44 mg%를 나타내다 초기에 급격한 감소를 보였고 10일을 전후하여 증가폭의 변화가 둔화되었다. 전체 중에 glucose가 제일 많은 함량이었고, 다음으로 sucrose, fructose 순이었다. 유기산의 경우 초기에 전체 61.48 mg%를 보이면서 발효 11일째까지 88.09 mg%를 보여 아주 완만한 상승이었는데, 이후 급격한 상승을 보였고 14일째 266.21 mg%에서 정점을 찍고 이후 완만한 진행을 보였다. 전통주의 발효에서 품질관리를 통한 전통주의 고급화 방법의 하나로 RFID 기술을 도입하여 이상발효의 차단과 적정한 sensor를 이용하여 지표로 활용, 정확한 발효과정을 판단할 필요가 있다. pH, 총산, 알코올 그리고 총당은 전통주 품질관리의 지표로 활용 가능한 바, 전통주 발효 전 과정을 monitering 하여 이상발효 유무의 중요한 지표로 활용이 가능할 것이다.

The purpose of this study was to explore consumers' perceptions and satisfaction of Makgeolli in Daejeon. The study examined the perceptions of consumers of a number of Makgeolli characteristics. A total of 199 respondents provided information regarding their perceptions of Makgeolli. Exploratory factor analysis showed that six factors of consumers' perceptions toward Makgeolli were: delight, harmony with food, atmosphere, health /tradition-related, self-fulfillment, and emotion. Examining the effect of each factor on Makgeolli satisfaction showed that delight had a negative relationship with satisfaction while harmony with food and health/tradition-related showed positive relationships. Atmosphere, self-fulfillment, and emotion did not impact satisfaction. Comparisons of the eleven attributes using t-test between Makgeolli and alcoholic beverages showed significant differences in six attributes: creating a special dining ambience(p<0.001), socializing(p<0.001), enhancing the taste of food(p<0.001), satisfying thirst(p<0.01), esthetic(p<0.01), and stylish(p<0.001). Most of the places where Makgeolli was consumed were traditional bars(53.4%) and Korean restaurants(29.1%). In order to make Makeolli as a global beverage further studies regarding Makgeolli purchasing motivation, satisfaction, consumer characteristics should be studied.

There is an increasing consumption of Makgeolli in both domestic and foreign markets due to a high interest in Korean traditional alcoholic beverages. However, currently, a standardized system of manufacturing, storing and circulating Makgeolli is not available. Therefore, manufacturing the constant quality of finished products is hardly achieved due to the uncertified quality index of Makqeolli. In particular, quality changes occur as a result of variable initial load of microorganisms during shelf life. Eight different commercially available brands of Makgeolli were obtained, and their initial concentrations of yeasts were measured. One brand with the highest concentration was chosen, and the variable initial concentrations were prepared at a concentration of $10^6{\sim}10^8$ yeast CFU/ml. These Makgeolli samples were heat-treated at 65, 70, 75 or $80^{\circ}C$. It was shown that temperatures higher than $75^{\circ}C$ were needed in order to pasteurize Makgeolli properly. In addition;it is considered that controlling the microorganisms by a standardized system for the processing analysis would improve the quality of Makgeolli.

Polyphenol profiles, physicochemical properties, antioxidant activities, and inhibitory effect of adipocyte differentiation of Houttuynia cordata fermented with Lactobacillus brevis B84 were evaluated. Six polyphenols were characterized for this plant by using high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS), and the results were compared with total phenolic content by a spectrophotometric method. The total amount of the identified polyphenols was lower than that determined by the spectrophotometric method. However, the fermentation process influenced polyphenol composition such as content of vanillic acid and caffeic acid. The phytochemical profiles were evaluated by high-performance liquid chromatography with UV and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry detection ($HPLC-DAD-ESI-MS^n$). Total sugar and reducing sugar contents decreased after fermentation. Antioxidant activities such as DPPH, ABTS, and superoxide anion radical scavenging and reducing power were evaluated to compare the beneficial effect after fermentation. Fermented H. cordata increased the lipolytic effect in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Overall, the results indicate that the fermentation of H. cordata with L. brevis B84 produces changes of phenolic compounds, antioxidant activity, and lipolytic effect.

The most economically important species used in a wide range of fermentation industries throughout Asia belong to Aspergillus section Flavi, which are morphologically and phylogenetically indistinguishable, with a few being toxigenic and therefore a major concern. They are frequently isolated from Korean fermentation starters, such as nuruk and meju. The growing popularity of traditional Korean alcoholic beverages has led to a demand for their quality enhancement, therefore requiring selection of efficient non-toxigenic strains to assist effective fermentation. This study was performed to classify the most efficient strains of Aspergillus section Flavi isolated from various types of traditional wheat nuruk, based on a polyphasic approach involving molecular and biochemical evaluation. A total of 69 strains were isolated based on colony morphology and identified as Aspergillus oryzae/flavus based on internal transcribed spacer and calmodulin gene sequencing. Interestingly, none were toxigenic based on PCR amplification of intergenic regions of the aflatoxin cluster genes norB-cypA and the absence of aflatoxin in the culture supernatants by thin-layer chromatography analysis. Saccharification capability of the isolates, assessed through ${\alpha}-amylase$ and glucoamylase activities, revealed that two isolates, TNA24 and TNA15, showed the highest levels of activity. Although the degrees of variation in ${\alpha}-amylase$ and glucoamylase activities among the isolates were higher, there were only slight differences in acid protease activity among the isolates with two, TNA28 and TNA36, showing the highest activities. Furthermore, statistical analyses showed that ${\alpha}-amylase$ activity was positively correlated with glucoamylase activity (p < 0.001), and therefore screening for either was sufficient to predict the saccharifying capacity of the Aspergillus strain.

Objective : The aim of this study is to analyze medicinal herbs, the ingredients of traditional Korean liquor, focusing on efficacy in the traditional Korean medicine. Through this study, for vitalizing traditional Korean liquor market, the researchers attempt to explain the superiority of traditional Korean liquor and the advantages of using herbs to brew alcoholic beverages. Method : We conducted a research targeting traditional Korean liquors in domestic market from July through september 2012, and finally 70 kinds of liquor were selected and analyzed. Results : Among traditional liquors, fermented liquors are most common. When comparing regions of brewery, the central region of Korea, Gyeonggi-do and Chungcheongnam-do, is major brew area. 37 liquors contain just one medicinal herb. followed 10 liquors contain two medicinal herbs. The most frequently used medicinal herb is Ginseng Radix. And Lycii Fructus, Schisandrae Fructus, Angelicae Gigantis Radix and Chrysanthemi Indici Flos are well used medicinal herbs to brew traditional liquors. In the classification of efficacy of medicinal herbs, tonifying and replenishing medicinal herbs are most popular as ingredients in the traditional alcohols, astringent medicinal herbs, exterior releasing medicinal herbs and heat clearing medicinal herbs are also frequently used. Investigation of tastes and properties of the herbs, it reached a conclusion as below: sweet taste is most common, followed by sour taste and bitter taste. Warm property is account for 50% approximately, followed by cold property. Conclusion : Medicinal herbs have been widely used in the traditional Korean liquor. It came out into the open that the liquor with medicinal herbs is very good for our body in terms of longevity and invigoration. However, liquor consumers concern about not only the efficacy but also the taste, scent and color. Therefore, further study about these things would be required to demonstrate the superiority of the traditional Korean liquor.

Yeasts play an important role in spontaneous fermentation of traditional alcoholic beverages. Our previous study revealed that a mixed-consortia of both Saccharomyces and non-Saccharomyces yeasts were responsible for fermentation of khadi, a popular, non-standardized traditional beverage with an immense potential for commercialization in Botswana. Functional characterization of isolated fermenting yeasts from mixed consortia is an indispensable step towards the selection of potential starter cultures for commercialization of khadi. In this study, we report the characterization of 13 khadi isolates for the presence of brewing-relevant phenotypes such as their fermentative capacity, ability to utilize a range of carbon sources and their ability to withstand brewing-associated stresses, as a principal step towards selection of starter cultures. Khadi isolates such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Saccharomycodes ludwigii and Candida ethanolica showed good brewing credentials but Lachancea fermentati emerged as the isolate with the best brewing attributes with a potential as a starter culture. However, we were then prompted to investigate the potential of L. fermentati to influence the fruity aromatic flavor, characteristic of khadi. The aroma components of 18 khadi samples were extracted using headspace solid phase micro-extraction (HS-SPME) and identified using a GC-MS. We detected esters as the majority of volatile compounds in khadi, typical of the aromatic signature of both khadi and L. fermentati associated fermentations. This work shows that L. fermentati has potential for commercial production of khadi.
