  • This study was conducted to determine nutritional values of different sources of food residues(FR) released in autumn and to compare them with nutrient requirements on NRC standard feeding system of swine. Hospital or cafeteria FR contained more cooked rice and side dishes residues and less vegetable residues and fruit peel, resulting in higher energy and lower fiber contents, compared to apartment complex FR, which had opposite patterns to these results. Chemical composition between hospital and cafeteria FR was almost similar. Salt(NaCl) content was more than 9 folds of NRC swine requirement, but much lower than the maximum tolerant level. Essenial and non-essential amino acids profile was similar among FR sources. Hospital or cafeteria FR protein had a similar pepsin digestibility to soybean meal protein. Apartment complex FR protein, however, had a much lower pepsin digestibility. When NRC nutrient requirements are considered, FR in swine diets could satisfy requirements of protein and all the essential amino acids, 75${\sim}$111% of digestible or metabolizable energy, and most of the major and minor minerals. All the FR contained extremely low levels of toxic heavy metals, indicating that they are completely safe from these toxic substances. It was concluded that hospital or cafeteria FR could be a nutritionally excellent and balanced feed source for swine.

  • Clean plate education program was applied to change students' perception on food waste in the dormitory cafeteria of T campus G university that is located in Tongyeong, in which 408 students joined the program. From survey and food waste monitoring, it was found that clean plate education program was effective to change students' perception as well as action. Half students (50.5%) answered that their eating habit changed, and among them 30.1 % students left a little food on the plate and 13.1% students left no food behind. Many students become aware of the seriousness of food waste issue (84.5%), and 44.2% students were trying to reduce leftover. Food waste generation in cafeteria was 341.9, 576.1, 344.3g/capita/day in 2005, 2007 and 2008, respectively. And this shows that food waste generations were much less than national average data except 2007. Therefore we could conclude that clean plate education program was satisfactory to change students' perception on food and to change their action, and it could be an excellent new approach to resolve a social issue caused by food waste. In order to reduce food waste generation at dormitory cafeteria, food taste and diet should be improved and students' eating habits also should be changed. For this, a practical program like clean plate education should be organized.

  • Heterotrophic nanoflagellates (HNFs, 2-20 ㎛ in size) are substantially capable of controlling bacterial abundance in aquatic environments, and microbial taxonomists have studied ecologically important and abundant HNFs for a long time. However, the classifications of HNFs have rarely been reported in Korea on the basis of morphology and 18S rDNA sequencing. Here, previously reported five HNFs from non-Korean habitats were isolated from Korean coastal seawater or intertidal sediments for the first time. Light microscopic observations and 18S rDNA phylogenetic trees revealed that the five isolated species were Cafeteria burkhardae strain PH003, Cafeteria graefeae strain UL001, Aplanochytrium minuta (formerly Labyrinthuloides minuta) strain PH004, Neobodo curvifilus strain KM017 (formerly Procryptobia sorokini), and Ancyromonas micra (formerly Planomonas micra) strain IG005. Being morphologically and phylogenetically indistinct from its closest species, all isolates from Korea were therefore regarded as identical species detected in other countries. Thus, this result indicates an expansion of known habitats that range from those of the five isolates in natural ecosystems on Earth.

  • The goal of this study is to improve food coordination, which is one of the factors of menu quality, by surveying satisfaction of students who visit a university cafeteria. Using Amos 7.0 to graphically verify the structure of the overall model, these following results were obtained. First, satisfaction with Interior facilities was positively enhanced by food shapes, food colors, tableware sizes and tableware colors. The more people liked these factors, the higher their satisfaction was. Second, satisfaction with Interior decoration was judged by such factors as food sizes, food colors and tableware colors. Third, satisfaction with Interior lightings was affirmatively affected by the colors of food and tableware. Fourth, Interior facilities, decoration and lightings all have positive influence on satisfaction with food. Higher satisfaction on these factors guarantee higher satisfaction with food. Among the standardized coefficient, Interior decoration(0.460), Interior lighting(0.310), Interior facilities(0.183), Interior decoration appears to be the most important factor for satisfaction with food.

  • This survey was carried out through questionnaries and the subjects were 498 male and 151 female students at Inha University. The results are summarized as follows ; 1) The female students had more opportunity to get nutrition education than the male students. Most students ranked education facilities as their primary sources of nutrition knowledge, but 30% of the male students ranked mass media. Nutrition knowledge score of female students was higher than that of male students. 2) 63.6% of male students drank alcohol and smoked cigarette. 33.2% of them drank only alcohol and 1.1% of them smoked only cigarette. Most of female students drank only alcohol. More than 30% of the subjects drank alcohol 1 day a week. 3) Most students ate out more than once a day and chose the menu considering taste of food. About 30% of the subjects were eating at school cafeteria, the next percentage korean restaurant, Noodle-snack cafeteria. 4) Most students have had dietary problems such as vigorous eating, skipping meal, indulging in hot and spicy food, prejudice for special food. More than 50% of the subjects are skipping breakfast. The main reason of skipping meal is lack of time.

  • Total particulate mater (TPM), $NO_2$ and $NH_3$ were measured simultaneously in the smoking and non-smoking locations during an eleven month period from March 1986 to January 1987 at three sites in Chicago : Illinois Institute of Technology Cafeteria, Rush-Presbyterian St. Lukes Medical Center Cafeteria and a downtown office building. From this study, the mean concentrations of $NO_2$ and $NH_3$ were not significantly different between the smoking and non-smoking locations at any sampling site ; however, there was a statistical difference for TPM between the smoking and non-smoking locations. Activity factor was useful for describing the contribution from indoor source. The linear regression analysis was reasonable method for discriminating the individual contribution of source to determine the emission factor. The TPM emission factor determined from this technique was in good agreement with value from the literature.

  • The purpose of this study is to make special study of the efficient operation of university foodservice. The concrete results through the conjoint analysis can be elicited as follows. First, through the interview in depth we draw out the efficient attribute comparing and analyzing elements of selecting menu and main reasons for selecting either student cafeterias or general cafeterias. Second, we elicit the best attribute based on the results of analysis on preference. Third, we present an improvement program for operating student cafeterias through simulation. As a result of conjoint analysis of the main reason for selecting a cafeteria and the utility of each attribute, the most important factor comes price (34.95%), the time required (33.20%), food taste (30.45%), and various menu (1.42%) in that order. What draws attention in the research is that price (34.93%) is not the only factor which influences students' choice of a cafeteria. Location (33.20%) and food taste (30.45%) are all equally important. These results show that students' expectation for cafeterias is getting various. Basically, all customers look for a nearer restaurant where its food taste is good and menu is various at a low price.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate individual and organizational level of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors associated with CVD risk in Korean blue-collar workers working in small sized companies. Methods: Self-report questionnaires and blood sampling for lipid and glucose were collected from 492 workers in 31 small sized companies in Korea. Multilevel modeling was conducted to estimate effects of related factors at the individual and organizational level. Results: Multilevel regression analysis showed that workers in the workplace having a cafeteria had 1.81 times higher CVD risk after adjusting for factors at the individual level (p =.022). The explanatory power of variables related to organizational level variances in CVD risk was 17.1%. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that differences in the CVD risk were related to organizational factors. It is necessary to consider not only individual factors but also organizational factors when planning a CVD risk reduction program. The factors caused by having cafeteria in the workplace can be reduced by improvement in the CVD-related risk environment, therefore an organizational-level intervention approach should be available to reduce CVD risk of workers in small sized companies in Korea.

  • This study was conducted for the purpose of practice of nutrition education and dietary intake for college students. This survey was carried out through a variety of questionnaires by the subjects which consist of 249 male and 208 female college students in Seoul area. The results obtained were summarized as follows; 1. 75% of the subjects lived in their own houses; the monthly personal expenses were $110{\sim}200$ thousand wons. The appetite of the students who answered was normal in general. The pattern of dietary life shows that they take richer food at dinner than lunch and breakfast. 2. At school, 75% of students ate at the school cafeteria. Among several main dishes, rice was the most favorite food. Most of the subjects ate their lunch between 12 and 1 o'clock, and they spend approximately 11 to 15 minutes. Most of the students did not have lunch on time. The students ate lunch irregularly, because of the class schedule and poor appetite. 3. On weekends and vacations, 56% of the students ate lunch prepared by their mother at home. The two main reasons for skipping lunch during weekends and vacations were late breakfast and poor appetite. The frequency of eating out were $3{\sim}4$ times per week, because of social life and convenience of meal. 4. The majority of college students asked for the improvement of meal quality and the choice of menu in school cafeteria.
