Lactose is a disaccharide consisting of a glucose and a galactose. Milk is a sole source of lactose in natural food. Lactase hydrolyzes lactose into glucose and galactose, which are absorbed in the intestine and utilized by the body. After weaning, lactase activity declines. Therefore, the majority of adults have hypolactasia. The prevalence is above 50% in South America, Africa, and Asia. A significant amount of lactose is consumed as cow milk-based food products. However, it has no special nutritional importance for adults, and it is suspected as a dietary risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD) and ovarian cancer. The aim of this study is to review the evidence and to propose possible mechanisms regarding the relations between lactose intake and CHD and ovarian cancer. Epidemiological studies support the connection of lactose and CHD. Although several mechanisms for elucidation of this connection have been suggested, calcium theory is the most plausible. Galactose is known to be toxic to ovary. Galactose has been suggested to induce ovarian cancer through hypergonadotropic hypogonadism. Some epidemiological data support this but others do not. Consumption of lactose or galactose can induce CHD and ovarian cancer; however, more research will be needed in order to determine the relation between lactose and these diseases.

This study was conducted to examine the effect of dietary n-3/n-6 fatty acid (FA) ratio on in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD), fermentation indices and FA profile. Rice bran was mixed with oil sources (cotton seed oil and linseed oil) to make the diets at 0.02, 0.29 and 0.61 of dietary n-3/n-6 FA ratio. These diets (0.5g) were placed into the incubation bottles with 40 ml of anaerobic culture medium, which contained rumen fluid and Van Soest medium at 1:2 ratio. Five replicates of each diet and two blanks were incubated at 39℃ for 48 hours. After incubation, the incubated contents were centrifuged. The residues were freeze-dried for DMD and FA analyses. The supernatant was used for pH, NH3-N and volatile fatty acid analyses. The concentrations of lactate (p<0.001) and iso-valerate (p<0.001) decreased linearly with increasing dietary n-3/n-6 FA ratio, but acetate concentration (p=0.056) and the ratio of acetate to propionate (p=0.005) was increased linearly. The concentrations of n-3, n-6 FA and the ratio of n-3/n-6 FA in residues increased (p<0.001) linearly with increasing dietary n-3/n-6 FA ratio, but C18:1n-9 FA concentration was decreased (p<0.001) linearly. With these results, it could affect fermentation characteristics and FA profile of rumen content by dietary n-3/n-6 FA ratio.

The purpose of this study was to provide basic information regarding desirable body image recognition by examining body image recognition 395 middle school students in the Chungnam area. The average age of the subjects was 13.7 years for boys and 12.6 for girls. Their average height and weight were 165.4 ㎝ and 57.1 ㎏ for boys, and 155.7 ㎝ and 48.8 ㎏ for girls. As for body shape, girls thought that they were overweight more often and wanted to lose weight compared to the boys. Over half of the respondents answered that their weight control efforts were not systematic such ad via professional counseling. Weight control by students was attempted by themselves in order to control their weight by skipping meals. Further, the subjects exhibit dietary behavioral problems such as overeating, skipping meals, unbalanced diet, and eating speed. In conclusion, correct body image recognition is needed and families and schools should make efforts to help students properly control their weight and adopt proper eating habits.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the status of consumption and consumer satisfaction of dietary fiber supplements. The survey was conducted using a self-recorded questionnaire developed to meet the purpose of this study. The characteristics of the subjects who have taken dietary fiber supplements in the past are as follows: distributions of socioeconomic variables showed that the highest-ranked group(the group that reported the highest consumption of dietary fiber supplements) was professionals with a college degree or higher degree. In addition, the highest-ranked group were the most healthy, nonsmokers and reported drinking habits of ‘1～2 times/week’. Regarding the health status of those surveyed, digestive disease and constipation were the most common complaints. The majority responded with ‘health concerns’ to the question that asked the reason for their purchase of the dietary fiber supplements. Three major places respondents could find dietary fiber supplements were ‘through the internet’, ‘the market’, ‘the pharmacy’ in descending order. The compositions of dietary fiber products varied. ‘konjac’, ‘cellulose’, ‘psyllium husks’ were the most popular components consumed by the subjects. The average duration of product consumption was less than one month. In terms of satisfaction levels(satisfaction was ranked from 1 to 5), ‘taste’ and ‘type’ scored the highest in satisfaction levels while ‘price’ ranked the lowest. When subjects were asked about self-awareness regarding the physiological efficacy of dietary fiber supplements, the responses were positive in ‘bowel movement’ and ‘weight loss’. Further research is required to improve the quality of dietary fiber supplements in order to assist consumers in selecting the appropriate products.

The objective of this research was to investigate the effect of dietary cottonseed meal (CSM) supplementation on carcass and meat quality characteristics of Hanwoo (Korean cattle) bulls. Twenty two months-old-Hanwoo bulls of eight heads (4 heads per treatments) were fed for 5 months on a diet with or without (control) CSM (500 g/head/day). The samples of M. longissimus dorsi from carcasses were used for the quality measurement. Dietary CSM supplementation did not affect the carcass traits of bulls and pH value, drip loss, water-holding capacity and fatty acid composition of beef loin. Crude protein and crude ash content of beef loin were significantly (p<0.05) higher in beef loin from bulls fed CSM than in the control. During storage of 5 days at 4℃, CIE a*, b*, C* and total color values were significantly (p<0.05) higher in beef loin from bulls fed CSM than in the control. Overall, the present results indicate that dietary CSM supplementation may improve the oxidation stability of Hanwoo beef loin.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of wormwood meal addition on constituent of blood, and liver fatty acid in broiler chickens. Two-day old 25 male commercial broiler chicks were distributed to 5 treatments (wormwood meal levels ; T1 (1%), T2 (3%), T3 (5%), T4 (10%), and control (C)) for 5 weeks. Free fatty acids of liver were a little different among the treatments and the palmitic, stearic, oleic, and linoleic acids were occupied 92.5% of total free fatty acids. Hemoglobin and hematocrite concentration of blood were significantly decreased (p<0.05) as the levels of wormwood meal increased, and serum albumin concentration of broilers was little different between 0 week and 5 week experiments. Also serum cholesterol, phospholipid, total cholesterol, and triglyceride concentration of liver in broilers were little different during the 5 weeks experiment. Serum triglyceride concentration was significantly increased (p<0.05) as levels of wormwood meal increased. These results indicate that dietary wormwood meal addition has a little positive effect on increasing unsaturated fatty acid and decreasing saturated fatty acid.

쌀 가공식품 부산물의 효소 처리로 인한 단백질과 식이섬유, 색도의 차이는 시료에 따라 각각 다르게 나타났다. Gravimetric method와 Kjeldahl method 간에 단백질 함량의 차이가 조금씩 있는 것으로 확인 되었지만, 전체적으로 두 값의 패턴이 같은 것으로 보아 이 두 가지 단백질 측정 방법간에 유의성이 존재한다고 판단하였고, 두 값의 비교를 통해 단백질 함량의 변화를 더욱 자세히 비교 할 수 있었다. 주박의 경우 다른 효소보다 Termamyl이 단백질 함량을 높이는데 영향이 큰 것으로 나타났고, 효소를 혼합하였을 때 그 시너지 효과가 두드러졌다. 특히 세가지 효소를 모두 혼합하였을 경우 가장 좋은 시너지 효과를 나타냈다. 그러나 식이섬유의 경우 Termamyl 단일효소를 처리했을 경우가 식이섬유 함량을 높이는 데 가장 효과적인 것을 확인 할 수 있었으며, 탈지미강의 경우 역시 Termamyl이 가장 효율 적으로 나타났고 주박과 비슷한 패턴을 보여, 역시 혼합효소로 시너지 효과를 확인 할 수 있었다. 그러나 식이섬유 함량의 경우, Termamyl 처리를 했을 때 약한 증가 경향을 보인 반면, 다른 효소 처리로 인한 식이섬유 함량은 감소하는 경향을 나타냈다. 시럽박의 경우 초기 단백질 함량이 높아서 단백질 함량이 크게 증가하지 않았다. 최적의 효소라고 평가할 만한 효소를 찾을 수 없었고, 시너지 효과 역시 나타나지 않았다. 그러나 식이섬유의 경우 효소 처리로 인해 상당량이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 Viscozyme 처리로 인한 식이섬유 함량은 큰 증가를 보였으나, 시너지 효과는 크게 나타나지 않았다.

본 실험은 호박분말 급여가 돈육의 품질 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 평균 개시체중 64.5 kg인 총 20두의 3원 교잡종(Landrace×Yorkshire×Duroc)을 대상으로 호박분말 급여량을 0, 2, 5 및 7%로 처리구별 5두씩 공시하여 출하전 30일간 급여하였다. 호박분말 급여구에서 높은 수분 함량 및 조지방 함량을 나타내었다. 명도(lightness) 값은 처리구들 간 유의적인 차이가 나타나지 않았으나(p>0.05), 적색도(redness)는 2% 및 7% 호박분말 급여구가 대조구에 비해 유의적으로 높은 값을 나타내었다. 육즙 및 가열감량은 모든 처리구에서 유의적인 차이가 없었으나, 5% 호박분말 급여구에서 높은 pH 및 모든 호박분말 급여구에서 낮은 전단가 값을 나타내었다. 호박분말 급여구에서 대조구에 비해 낮은 콜레스테롤 함량을 보이며, 호박분말 급여수준이 증가할수록 콜레스테롤 함량이 감소하였다. 또한 호박분말 급여구에서 높은 myristic acid(C14:0) 함량을 보인 반면, 2% 및 5% 호박분말 급여구에서 높은 palmitoleic acid(C16:1) 함량 나타내었다. 따라서 호박분말 급여는 돈육의 사후 pH와 수분함량을 높이고, 전단가 및 콜레스테롤 함량을 감소시키는 등 돈육 품질을 개선시키는 것으로 나타났다.

Both iron-deficient and zinc-sufficient diets have been known to be associated with a decreased risk of colon cancer. We investigated that effect of dietary zinc on the formation of colonic aberrant crypt foci (ACF) induced by azoxymethane (AOM) followed by dextran sodium sulfate in iron-deficient mice. Five-week old ICR mice were acclimated for 1 week and fed on iron-deficient diet (4.50 ppm iron) with three different zinc levels (0.01, 0.1, and 1.0 ppm) for 12 weeks. The total number of aberrant crypt (AC) and ACF was measured in the colonic mucosa after methylene blue staining. The total ACF numbers of low Zn (LZn), medium Zn (MZn) and high Zn (HZn) diet groups were 10.00 ± 2.67, 8.78 ± 3.12, and 7.96 ± 2.44, respectively and there were no significant differences among the groups. However, the total AC numbers of HZn (27.07 ± 3.88) and MZn (26.39 ± 5.59) diet groups were significantly low compared to LZn (22.57 ± 5.09) diet group (p<0.01). Cytosolic SOD activity was the highest in LZn diet group. But thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances level in liver was also the highest in LZn diet group compared to other groups. There is no difference in cell proliferation in mucous membrane among the groups, while apoptotic positive cells were increased in the HZn diet group. The high zinc diet exhibited decreased β-catenin-stained areas on the mucous membrane of colon compared to the LZn or MZn diet group. These findings indicate that dietary zinc might exert a modulating effect on development of ACF/AC in the mice with iron-deficient status.

This study is a survey of regulatees' perception on main contents and enforcement effect of the Act, the retailers at food stores within Green Food Zone, for the effective enforcement of “The Special Act on the Safety Management of Children's Dietary Life” legislated in 2008. Percentage, frequency analysis, and T-test are derived from the survey carried out to the 175 retailers at food stores within Green Food Zone, across the country except Jejudo, for the two months March and April of 2011. The survey results are as follows. Over 80% of the respondents are aware of comprehensive policy for child food safety and the enforcement of 'the Special Act' and considering the rate of satisfaction on food safety information provided by government, over 90% of the respondents, virtually most of them, are satisfied. The rate of awareness of Green Food Zone is about 80% and that of outstanding business for children is about 50%, showing little perception of it. The comparison of the survey result of 2011 with that of 2010, which have the same questions to the retailers within Green Food Zone, still indicates a need for enhancement of understanding on absolute standard, though it showed fairly better improvement in general. Several proposals are given in this study based on the survey results, which will contribute to the children food safety and health improvement in the end.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the dietary habits and snack consumption behaviors of middle school students with different obesity indexes in the Chungnam area. The survey was carried out using self-questionnaires and included 385 students(119 underweight, 193 normal weight, 66 overweight). The rate of skipping meals was higher for underweight students than overweight students; however, this difference was not statistically significant. The mean time of meal was 10 to 20 minutes and the criteria for choosing to eat a meal were ‘hunger’ and ‘taste’ in all groups. More than half of the subjects ate snacks 1 time a day, which were purchased outside. The typical snack time was ‘between lunch and dinner’. The criteria of for consuming a meal were ‘taste’ and ‘price’ in all groups. In the underweight group, the snack food scores were ice cream(4.4), fruit(4.3), fried chicken(4.1), sports beverage(4.0), fruit juice(4.0), pizza(4.0) and, tteokbokki(3.9). In the normal weight group, the snack food scores were ice cream(4.3), fried chicken(4.2), pizza(4.0), sports beverage(3.9), fruit juice(3.9) and, tteokbokki(3.9) in the overweight group, the snack food scores were ice cream(4.3), fruit(4.3), fried chicken(4.2), yogurt(4.0), sports beverage(4.0), fruit juice(4.0) and, ramen(4.0). In conclusion, the snaking behaviors of the subjects were not significantly different based on their obesity index. However, this study may provide basic information on the snacking behaviors of middle school students, and the findings suggest that nutrition education or counseling can improve snack intake habits and positive behaviors toward healthy adolescents diets.

This study was conducted to examine dietary behaviors according to residence status and ethnicity of university students in Yanbian, China. For the subjects, 334 university students (Male=141, Female=193) answered a questionnaire about perception of weight control, dietary patterns, health habits, residence status, and ethnicity. Perception of weight, meal frequency, favorite kind of food, meal finishing time, skipping breakfast, type of breakfast, snack frequency, late-night snack frequency, exercise frequency, regular life, and sleeping time were all significantly associated with residence status. Motivation of weight control, meal frequency, regularity of meal time, meal volume, favorite kind of food, exercise time, and regular life were all significantly associated with ethnicity. University students who lived with their parents perceived their weight more properly, exhibited a more positive dietary pattern, and lived a more regular life than those students who lived in a dormitory with their friends. Chinese students exhibited a more regular dietary pattern and lived a more regular life than the Korean-Chinese students. As a result, both environmental and inherent factors are related with the dietary behaviors of university students in Yanbian, China. These data could be used to help university students in Yanbian, China attain a healthy diet.

본 시험은 포도부산물의 첨가가 젖소의 산유량, 유성분 및 혈액 성상에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 실시하였다. 비유중기 젖소 8두(평균 월령: 89.8, 평균 유기: 164.4, 평균 산차: 2.8산)를 공시하였으며, 포도부산물을 첨가하지 않은 대조구와 1일 1 kg을 첨가한 시험구로 두 처리구를 설정하여 3주간 급여하였다. 유지방, 유단백, 유당 및 총 고형물 함량은 처리간에 차이가 없었다. 그러나 산유량은 포도부산물 을 첨가한 처리구가 23.13 kg/d으로 대조구의 21.16 kg/d에 비해 높은 반면(p<0.05), 체세포 수는 대조구가 포도부산물 처리구에 비해 높았다(p<0.05). 혈중 glucose, alanine aminotransferase, total protein 및 blood urea nitrogen 함량은 처리구간 차이가 없었으나, AST와 총콜레스테롤 함량은 대조구 (123.75 IU/L, 200.82 mg/dl)가 포도부산물 처리구(95.34 IU/L, 180.63 mg/dl)에 비해 높았다(p<0.05). 이상의 결과에서, 다양한 생리활성을 가진 포도부산물은 젖소를 위한 기능성 사료로 이용 가능성이 높을 것으로 사료된다.

We investigated the effect of glutathione supplementation on feed intake, body weight loss, behavior change and economic analysis of elk bull in breeding season. Sixteen elk bulls (5-year-old, average weight; 330 kg) after antler cutting were divided into 2 groups. Eight bulls in each group (control and glutathione group) were fed experimental diet at a level of 0.85 percent of body weight and 6 mg glutathione per kg body weight. As a result, weight-loss of control animal during experimental study (from September to November) was 42.6±19.2 kg while that of glutathione-supplemented group was 20.6 ±19.9 kg. Compared to control group, glutathione-fed group had prevented the body weight loss by 5.2% (p<0.05). Although the feed intake of elk voluntarily decreases during breeding season, daily DM intake per head was 5.59 and 5.80kg in control and glutathione-fed group, respectively. While the statistical difference in feed intake between two groups was not observed, feed intake tended to increase in glutathione-fed group. In economic analysis, additional cost of 99,000 KRW per head was spent due to the cost of glutathione because of its import. Changes in behavior such as crying, deer whistles, whistling intensity and frequency of accident were lower in glutathione-fed group compared to control. During breeding season, use of glutathione as feed supplement could suppress body weight loss and accidents in deer farm.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the snack and beverage intake patterns of students by body mass index groups (BMI 〈18.5, 18.5-23, 23-30, ≥30). Questionnaires were completed by 1381 high school students in Seoul, Incheon, and Gyeonggi-do, the area of Korea's capital region. There were no significant differences in skipping meals for overweight (BMI 23-30 and ≥30) or under-nourished (BMI 〈18.5) students. Girls skipped dinner more frequently than boys. Boys and girls both preferred meat and disliked fish regardless of BMI. Girls with BMI 23-30 disliked vegetables. Boys and girls would rather have crackers, candies, and chocolates than potatoes as snacks regardless of BMI. Obese boys (BMI ≥30) preferred flour-based food, fast food, and other food as snacks. Girls liked fruits more than boys. Snacks were eaten 2-3 times per week, when students were hungry or bored. There were no significant differences in the frequency or reasons (habitual, stressed) for snack consumption by BMI. Girls liked juice more than boys did, and boys preferred soda water more than girls did. Both the under-nourished (BMI 〈18.5) boy and girl groups had more juice than the overweight (BMI 23-30 and ≥30) groups. Obese (BMI ≥30) boys did not more drink soda water than other BMI groups. The under-nourished (BMI 〈18.5) boy group had more soda water than the normal (BMI 18.5-23) and overweight (BMI 23-30) groups. Girls in the overweight (BMI 23-30) group had 2 more cups of soda water a day than the normal group (BMI 18.5-23). Therefore, skipping meals and beverage intake patterns might influence BMI.

This study, 255 people, Gyeonggi-Y Elementary School (Grade 2 to Grade 3) and Power Point educational media activities, made a rice cake, and then through surveys conducted by education, training effect of dietary was analyzed.The name of rice cake(99.1%) and rice cake flour with about 82 percent know.Gratitude to farmers, students have been answered by 91.3% after the dietary change was education. Teaching Satisfaction 'Yes' was answered more than 91.0%. Diet, the importance of education and appreciation for farmers was a positive correlation. Satisfaction with teaching and also showed a positive correlation is very high. Also grateful to farmers and satisfaction with teaching showed a positive correlation with satisfaction. Making rice cake with exercise diet showed that the effect of education is very high. Therefore conducted a systematic practice cooking to suit the students' level of food education will be done efficiently.

This study was performed to analyze the retarded degree of Garaetteok retrogradation added with different ratios 0-15% (w/w) of apple pomace dietary fiber powder (DFP). SEM (×500) showed that air cell size on the Garaetteok surface increased as DFP content increased, whereas control had a compact structure without air cells. The degrees of Garaetteok retrogradation after 3 days at 4 and 25℃ by α-amylase iodine method were 57.44 and 41.55% for control, respectively. On the other hand, those of 15% DFP Garaetteok were 28.38 and 15.05%, respectively. Enthalpy changes (δE) by DSC of control, 10 and 20% DFP Garaetteok after 3 days of storage at 4℃ were 4.41, 4.17, and 3.80 J/g, respectively, whereas those at 25℃ were 2.14, 1.04, and 0.72 J/g. Hardness of 15% DFP Garaetteok was around 48% compared to that of control after 3 days of storage at 25℃. Increasing DFP content from 0 to 15% decreased L color value from 86.2 to 55.1, whereas a and b values increased from -1.9 to 8.9 and from 5.3 to 20.8, respectively. In a sensory intensity test, hardnesses of 15% DEP Garaetteok were significantly different at 1 and 0.1% compared to those of control after production and followed by storage for 3 days at 4℃, respectively.

사과박의 식이섬유를 추출하여 설기떡에 첨가 시 첨가량에 따른 저장 중 품질특성변화를 분석하였다. 설기떡의 색도는 식이섬유첨가량이 증가함에 따라서 L*값은 87.9로부터 65.9로 감소하였으며 a*와 b* 값은 각각 -1.9에서 5.9 및 5.0에서 20.5로 증가하였다. 주사전자현미경(SEM)으로 설기떡의 표면구조를 관찰한 결과 식이섬유를 첨가한 설기떡에는 쌀가루사이에 끼어든 식이섬유가 쌀가루간의 연결을 저해하여 대조구보다 치밀한 구조이지 않았으며 사이사이 공간이 형성되어 있는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 대조구, 10% 및 15%의 식이섬유를 첨가시킨 설기떡의 엔탈피 변화는 3일 후 4oC 저장에서 각각 4.83, 3.80 및 3.18 J/g로 나타났으며 25oC 저장에서는 각각 1.14, 0.60 및 0.60 J/g이었으며 식이섬유첨가는 설기떡의 노화를 지연시키는 작용을 하였다. 대조구와 식이섬유첨가 설기떡 간의 경도를 비교하여 볼 때 실온저장보다는 냉장저장 시 경도증가(노화)억제효과가 컸으며 4oC에서 저장 3 일 후 15%첨가 설기떡의 경도는 대조구의 약 42%수준이었다. 기준 검사물과의 차이검사법에 의한 전체적인 기호도 평가에서 15% 식이섬유를 첨가시킨 설기떡이 제조 직후와 4oC 저장에서 3 일 후 모두 가장 높은 값을 보였으며 대조구와 5% 내에서 유의성 차이를 보였다.
