The types and processing characteristics of traditional non-alcoholic beverage and their historical backgrounds were surveyed through the old literatures published from the 8th century to 1940. A total of over 70 different names of beverages were found in the literature. They were classified into 10 groups according to their processing methods and quality characteristics; Sunda (green tea), Yusada (tea analog with/without green tea), Tang (boiled herb extract), Jang (lactic acid fermented rice beverage), Suksu (rice tea), Mium (cereal gruel), Misik (roasted cereal powder), Sikhe (sweet rice beverage saccharified with malt), Sujonggwa (ginger-fruit drink) and Hwachai (fruits drink). In the old literatures, there was non exist clear distinction between Jang, Tang, Chong and Tea. Lactic acid fermented rice beverage seemed to be a common drink in Silla and Koryo periods (AD. 600-1400), but disappeared afterwards and completely forgotten today. Other beverages are maintained until today with almost identical methods of preparation as described in the literatures written in the 18th century.

In order to evaluate the aroma compounds in Korean traditional alcoholic beverages, volatile compounds of the commercial wines, Makgeolli were analyzed and quantified using the conventional method. Eight volatile compounds including three kinds of alcohols, two kinds of organic acids and three kinds of ether were extracted by Liquid-Liquid Extraction with Dichloromethane. For the separation and quantification, Gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC/MS) was used to analyze these compounds. Also, the separation efficiency of these compounds was performed and compared with GC column. The results of this study were as follows ; Eight kinds of volatile compounds were separated well on the HP-88 column better than on the DB-5MS column. Short chain fatty acids, butyric acid and isovaleric acid were not detected in two brands of makgeolli samples. The higher alcohols were detected in the range of 0.86~225.68 ${\mu}g/mL$ and ethyl esters were detected in the range of 0.86~225.68 ${\mu}g/mL$, respectively. There compounds are known to be associated with sensory and odorant.

We experienced a case of 49-year-old male patient with amputated two fingers preserved in Soju (Korean traditional liquor, a kind of alcoholic beverages). The amputation level of the two fingers was at the distal interphalangeal joint. The Soju was not an adequate physiologic solution for preserving the amputated tissues. Even though arterial anastomosis was successful, there was no venous drainage visible in the operative field. On the first day after the initial operation, we succeeded in the anastomosis of one vein in one of the two amputated fingers. This was 12 hours after arterial anastomosis was carried out. But no venous dranage was visible in the other finger. In spite of a salvage procedure sustained with external bleeding for 7 days, this replanted fingertip eventually fell into necrosis.

Ethyl carbamate (EC) classified as a probable human carcinogen (Group 2A) is naturally formed in alcoholic beverages and fermented foods during fermentation process and/or during storage. The objective of this study was to analyze EC in 34 food items including 14 alcoholic beverages and 20 fermented foods sold in Korea. Each food was collected from 18 supermarkets in 9 metropolitan cities in Korea, and then made into composite. According to food composition and alcohol content, samples were divided into four matrices such as apple juice, milk, Soju (liquor containing about 20% alcohol), and rice porridge. The maximum EC value of $151.06{\mu}g/kg$ was found in Maesilju (liquor made from Maesil and Soju). Whisky and Bokbunjaju (Korean black raspberry wine) contained $9.90{\mu}g/kg$ and $6.30{\mu}g/kg$, respectively. EC was not detected in other alcoholic beverages. Of 20 fermented foods, Japanese-style soy sauce had highest level of $15.59{\mu}g/kg$ and traditional one contained $4.18{\mu}g/kg$. Soybean paste had $1.18{\mu}g/kg$, however, EC was not found in other fermented foods.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the difference between generations in utilization and preference of the commercial Korean traditional foods. Results showed that middle school student tried the commercial Korean traditional foods more frequently than adult. While students tried soup, broth and one-bowl dish most frequently and favored grilled and pan fried foods, adults tried most frequently and liked best Kimchi, salt-fermented fish and beverages. The reason why the commercial Korean traditional foods were favored was the taste by student and time-saving by adult. As for the reasons why they disliked the commercial Korean traditional foods, both groups answered that they were not beneficial for health. To increase the consumption of the commercial Korean traditional foods students required then to be improved into better taste and adults into better sanitariness. There was difference between two generations in utilization and preference for some commercial Korean traditional foods surveyed.

"Sujeonggwa" is a traditional korean beverage made from dried persimmon, cinnamon, and ginger and is often garnished with pine nuts. The purpose of this study was to investigate changes in the ingredients, recipes, and processing of "sujeonggwa" in Korean cookbooks published since 1400. The name sujeonggwa is derived from jeonggwa. In the early 1600s, sujeonggwa was used in ancestral rites and as a reception beverage, although we don't know its cooking method. According to the literature of the early 1800s, sujeonggwa was made from various fruit ingredients such as pear and yuzu. But since the late 1800s, it has been mostly made from dried persimmon based on ginger and cinnamon boiled with water. Garyeon-sujeonggwa is made with lotus leaf while japkwa-sujeonggwa is made with pear and yuzu. Japkwa-sujeonggwa is similar to hwachae in terms of ingredients and cooking method.

우리의 전래 민속주는 중국 둥과 같이 곡류 위주의 양조방식으로 발달하여 고대에는 그 기술이 일본 등에 전수될 정도로 선도하였으나, 조선말을 전후한 역사적인 시련기 속에서 별다른 개발을 보지 못한 가운데 서구적인 문명의 영향을 받아들이게 되면서 민속고유주의 개발 내지 재현보다는 서구적인 양조방식 혹은 외래주류의 모방 및 개발에 역점이 주어지고, 원료면에서 식량자원의 제한에 따라 많은 제약을 받아오면서부터 그 쇠퇴일로를 거듭하였다. 따라서 우리의 전통 민속주류의 올바른 복원과 현실화를 위한 체계적인 연구가 우선 중요한 과제로 대두되고 있다.(중략)

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the smoking status among adult workers, and current status of sugar intake. Methods: The survey included 500 men working in Gyeonggi-do from October to November in 2016. Questionnaire items covered their age, working status, smoking status, eating habits, eating behaviors, snack consumption status, habits and behaviors related to sugar intake. All data were analyzed by SPSS program (Ver. 23) and descriptive statistics was performed; a t-test, ${\chi}^2$ test, One-way ANOVA and Scheffe test were used for post-hoc test. Results: The study results showed that eating habits and behaviors of non-smokers were better than those of smokers. The frequency of daily snack consumption was the highest in smokers compared to and non-smokers. The smokers' favorite taste after smoking was 'Sweet'. The average score of sugar-related nutrition knowledge was higher in non-smokers compared to smokers. Non-smokers had better recognition of 'sugar reduction', and smokers were more likely to eat sweet foods, respectively. On the other hand, non-smokers could observe that they were trying to control themselves for health reasons. According to the results of the study, non-smokers showed better eating habits and dietary habits and consumed less sugar. Also, it was found that non-smokers tried to drink more water than beverages and refrain from eating sweets to reduce their sugar intake. Further, the most of the bread, coffee and beverages were also consumed at a lower frequency by non-smokers compared to smokers. Conclusions: This study results showed that smoking and sugar consumption were closely related. Therefore, adult workers should actively promote and learn so that they can maintain healthy and suitable dietary habits through reduction of sugar consumption.
