The purpose of this study was to analyze the food-related lifestyle choices of female baby boomers and to investigate variables regarding home meal replacement (HMR) buying behaviors and future needs. This study was conducted on 358 female baby boomers 53 years of age living in Gyeonggi and near Seoul. Out of 420 distributed questionnaires, 358 were returned and used for analysis (response rate: 85.2%). As a result of cluster analysis, three groups were identified based on the food-related lifestyles : a value-seeking group, a convenience-seeking group, and a health-seeking group. Among the three groups, there were significant differences in two socio-demographic characteristics, education level (p<0.05) and regular exercise (p<0.01), and in several health- and food-related habits, type of breakfast (p<0.01), type of dinner (p<0.05), dinner details (p<0.05), frequency of eating out (p<0.05), and eating habits score (p<0.01). The health-seeking group was significantly more likely to purchase ready to cook (RTC) items (59.1%) than were the other groups (p<0.001). However, the ratio of HMR purchasing for the purpose of meal replacement (p<0.05) and an HMR purchasing frequency of more than twice a week (p<0.001) were significantly lower in the health-seeking group. Reasons for selecting HMR showed a similar tendency among groups in taste (26.2%), convenience (18.7%), price (16.9%), safety (15.3%) and type of food (14.3%). However, the satisfaction scores for hygiene and safety reported by the health-seeking group were significantly lower than those reported by the other groups. More than two-thirds of all respondents were willing to purchase HMR in the future, though there were significant differences according to group: convenience-seeking group, 73.1%, health-seeking group, 70.1%, and value-seeking group, 65.7% (p<0.05). Our results suggest that the number of baby boomers purchasing HMR products will continue to grow and baby boomers will want HMR products to be more healthy (52.0%), safe (28.5%) and delicious (13.4%). An emphasis on taste was high in the convenience-seeking group, whereas an emphasis on health was high in the health-seeking and value-seeking groups. In conclusion, this study shows various food-related lifestyles amongst female baby boomers and illustrates the need to develop HMR marketing strategies targeted to these different lifestyles.

베이비붐 세대는 현재와 미래에 영향력 있는 주 소비계층 으로 기존 노인세대와는 차별화된 식행동을 보이고, 다양한 라이프스타일로 새로운 시장을 형성할 것으로 예측되는 바, 본 연구에서는 예비노년층인 50대 베이비부머 세대 여성들 을 대상으로 현재의 건강과 생활습관, 식습관 상태, 그리고 식생활 행동 양식 및 미래 식생활 요구도를 조사, 분석하였 다. 본 연구결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 조사 대상자의 평균 연령은 52.6±2.3세이었고, 대부분 고 졸 학력(63.1%)에 핵가족 형태(76.1%)를 이루고 있었으며, 58.8% 가 아파트에 거주하고 있었다. 전업주부는 39.0%이었고, 29.7% 가 종일제 직장을 갖고 있었으며, 한 달 수입은 200만 원 미 만이라고 응답한 사람들이 44.3%로 가장 많았다. 현재의 삶 에 대해 8.1%만이 불만족하다고 응답하였고, 스트레스 정도는 75.6%가 약간만 느낀다고 하여 스트레스가 매우 심하거나(11.5%), 거의 없다(12.9%)는 비율보다 훨씬 많았다. 2. 조사 대상자들의 BMI는 59.0%가 정상군이었으나, 38.2% 가 체중 과다 및 비만으로 평가되었다. 현재 응답자의 2.8% 만이 흡연을 하고 있었고, 비음주자가 63.0%로서 음주 및 흡 연률은 높지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 과반수에 가까운 42.9%의 응답자는 규칙적인 운동을 하고 있지 않다고 하였 고, 정기적으로 건강검진을 받고 있다고 응답한 사람은 78.0% 이었다. 3. 식생활 습관을 평가한 결과, 100점 기준 본 조사 대상자 의 평균 점수는 70.6±11.8점으로 ‘보통’군에 속하였다. 식습 관 점수는 교육 수준(p<0.01), 소득 수준(p<0.01), 가족 형태 (p<0.05), 삶의 만족도(p<0.001), 스트레스 정도(p<0.001)에 따 라 유의적인 차이를 보였다. 또한 건강 및 생활습관 요인 중 흡연(p<0.05)과 음주(p<0.05), 규칙적 운동 실시 여부(p<0.001), 정기적인 건강검진 유무(p<0.05), 수면시간(p<0.05)과 관계가 있어 건강한 생활습관을 가진 사람들의 경우, 식습관 점수가 유의적으로 더 높았다. 4. 하루 3끼 결식률은 아침, 점심, 저녁식사 각각 18.2%, 1.1%, 5.2%이었다. 외식 빈도는 월 1~3회(32.4%)와 주 1~2회 (28.5%)라는 응답이 많았다. 식재료 구매 횟수는 55.7%가 1주 에 1~2회 정도라고 하였으며, 주로 구매하는 물품은 채소와 과일, 육류와 같은 식재료로서(79.6%), 응답자의 84.0%가 직 접 집에서 반찬을 만들고 있었다. 가정 내에서 식사를 준비하 는 사람은 주부 본인인 경우가 91.3%로 가장 많았고, 평균 식 사 준비시간은 1시간 내외이었다. 5. 미래 식생활 요구 형태를 조사하였던 바, 나이가 들면서 가장 어려울 것으로 예상되는 가사일인 식사 준비(49.4%)가 문제가 되는 이유는, 조리하기가 점점 귀찮아지기 때문(55.2%) 이었으며, 향후 노인이 되었을 때는 46.4%만이 본인들이 직 접 조리하여 먹겠다고 하였다. 실버타운을 포함한 노인복지 시설에서의 급식에 대하여 영양사가 계획한 건강한 음식이 고(40.7%), 식사 준비에서 해방될 수 있을 것이라는(36.3%) 긍 정적인 반응이 있던 반면, 시설급식을 원하지 않는 이유는 노 인복지시설에서 살고 싶지 않거나(48.8%), 시설급식이 맛이 없을 것이라는 선입견도 31.3%나 되었다. 국이나 반찬 배달 전문업체에 대한 인지도 조사 결과, 조사 대상자의 60.1%는 이미 알고 있었고, 응답자의 39.9%가 향후 이러한 배달식업 체로부터 국이나 반찬을 정기적으로 배달하여 먹을 의향이 있다고 하였으며, 학력이 높을수록 배달식을 이용하겠다는 경향이 높았다(p<0.05). 배달식업체를 이용할 경우, 국과 반찬 모두 구입하겠다는 응답자는 33.3%이었고, 가능한 지출금액 은 38.9%가 10~15만 원을, 26.8%는 5~10만 원이라고 응답하 였다. 배달식을 이용할 경우 고려하는 사항으로는 위생(43.7%), 영양(28.7%), 맛(18.4%), 가격(6.3%), 회사의 인지도(2.9%) 순 으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과들을 종합해볼 때 베이비붐 세대는 경제발전 과 건강 및 교육 수준의 향상, 그리고 이에 따른 사회․문화 적 욕구의 상승 등으로 인해 식생활 형태에서 기존의 노령 세대와는 다름을 알 수 있었다. 일례로 본 연구에서 지적되었 듯이 많은 응답자가 식사 준비를 귀찮아하고 있음에 따라 외 식을 하거나, 편이식품을 구입하여 집에서 간단히 조리해 먹 겠다는 경향을 보이고 있다. 가족관계 및 사회경제적인 다양 한 요인들로 인해 가정 내 식생활 패턴이 변화되고 있는 것이 다. 이러한 라이프스타일의 변화에 맞추어 가정에서 짧은 시 간에 간편하게 조리할 수 있는 가공식품이나 반찬 전문 서비 스 사업, 조리에 대한 부담과 시간을 덜어주는 배달 메뉴의 이용은 앞으로 새로운 트렌드를 형성해 나갈 것으로 전망된 다. 현재 노년 여성과 현 중년 여성의 이러한 여러 상황의 차 이를 고려하고, 베이비붐 세대의 식생활 가치 및 식생활 행동 에 초점을 맞추어, 고령화시대에 중요한 위치에 있지만 상대 적으로 연구가 이루어지지 않은 이들 세대에 대한 적절한 식 생활 모델의 개발이 이루어져야 한다고 사료된다.

This research focused on the effects of adding Hizikia fusiforme to Jeolpyun. We were able to demonstrate in this study that Jeolpyun after the addition of Hizikia fusiforme had the potential to become a functional food. Jeolpyun with 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8% of Hizikia fusiforme was analyzed by water content, color, sensory and textural characteristics immediately after production and one day later. The five different types of Jeolpyun did not show any significant differences in water content. However, all the Jeolpyun with Hizikia fusiforme showed slightly higher water retention ratio than the control after storage. As the result of Hunter's color values, lightness decreased significantly as the amount of Hizikia fusiforme increased. Redness increased in the Jeolpyun with Hizikia fusiforme compared with the control. Yellowness was highest in the Jeolpyun with 2% of Hizikia fusiforme and decreased with an increase in its content. In the textural analysis, hardness, chewiness, adhesiveness and gumminess of Jeolpyun with 2% and 4% of Hizikia fusiforme were similar to those of the control, whereas springiness of Jeolpyun with 2%, 4% and 6% of Hizikia fusiforme were similar to that of the control group. Cohesiveness significantly decreased as the amount of Hizikia fusiforme increased. When the Jeolpyun was preserved for one day, all five Jeolpyun showed significant increases in hardness, gumminess and chewiness. However, their adhesiveness significantly decreased. Cohesiveness decreased in all Jeolpyun except for the 8% Jeolpyun. In sensory evaluation, color and aroma became stronger as the content of Hijikia fuziforme increased, and 2% Jeolpyun showed similar hardness with the control. Jeolpyun with Hijikia fuziforme showed no difference in cohesiveness with the control, but the adhesiveness showed a little increase when compared to the control. The overall acceptability of 2% Jeolpyun showed slightly higher than control. After one day of storage, Jeolpyun with 2% of Hijikia fuziforme also showed the highest overall acceptability. And the overall acceptability showed the biggest decrease in the control group. Overall acceptability showed strong negative correlation with color, aroma and hardness, and showed strong positive correlation with cohesiveness and adhesiveness. After one day of storage, overall acceptability showed a decrease in correlation with color and smell and an increase in correlation with cohesiveness, compared to before storage. Results of multiple regression analysis showed that hardness had the biggest influence(－) on the overall acceptability of Jeolpyun, aroma and cohesiveness ranked second(－) and third(+) respectively. After one day of storage, cohesiveness had the biggest influence on the overall acceptability of Jeolpyun. Color and adhesiveness ranked second(－) and third(+) respectively. It can be seen that different factors influence overall acceptability of Jeolpyun after storage.

To investigate the importance and practice of well-being related dietary life pattern such as purchasing food materials, food habits and eating out, a survey was conducted by questionnaire and 5-point Likert score in Seoul and Gyeonggi-Do, September, 2004 and April, 2005. The responses of 732 housewives who were over 40 years were analyzed by SPSS package program. The results were as follows. Most of them were 40-49 years(74.4%), graduated highschool (66.6%) and their family type was nuclear family type(81.4%). Almost half of them had full-time job (37.1%) and part time job (15.4%). The average importance score of 'food habits', 'purchasing food materials' and 'eating out' were 4.15±0.91, 4.06±0.96 and 3.25±1.01 respectively. But the average practice score of 'food habits' was greater(3.58±1.06) than 'purchasing food materials (3.19±1.19)' and 'eating out(2.54±1.05)'. Among 5 types of 'food habits', the type of 'cut down on eating fast food' had the greatest score of importances (4.31±0.97) but the difference between importance and practice was greatest(0.94). Also 'consume home-made food rather than processed or ready to food' showed great scores in importance (4.28±0.87) and practice(3.87±1.04). 'Consume fruits and vegetables rather than meats' and 'avoid heavy use of oils' had the importance score of 4.04~4.19. But the practice score of 'avoid heavy use of oils' was the lowest(3.39±0.97). Among four types of purchasing of food materials, 'purchase domestic agricultural food' was greatest(4.37±0.78) and 'don't purchase genetically modified food' 'purchase organic food' and 'purchase whole grain products' were also great (3.92~3.99). But the practice score of 'purchase organic/low chemical foods(2.77±0.98)' and 'don't purchase genetically modified food(2.99±1.41)' were lowest. 'Go to well being restaurant' in three types of 'eating out' showed greatest in importance(3.35±0.96) but the practice score(2.47±0.10) was lower than the importance score. Also 'choose menu with comparing calories' had the lower score in practice(2.45±1.06) rather than importance score(3.22±1.03). In regarding to 'food habits', the importance score were significantly affected by type of food expense (p〈0.05) and health status (p〈0.05). The importance score of 'purchase food materials' were significantly affected by the type of food expense (p〈0.001), type of residence(p〈0.05), and self assessment of weight(p〈0.05). Monthly income, especially more 400 million won, was the commonly significant effector in practice score of 'purchase food materials' and 'eating out'.

The purpose of this study is to examine current foodservice management practices at free congregate meal service for elderly people. Forty seven meal service centers as well as randomly selected Seoul and Kyunggido area were surveyed and interviewed and results were summarized as follows: The cost of each meal(lunch) was ranged from 1,300 won to 1,500 won and 68% of target centers were severed over 100 meals per day. Meal time for lunch begins from 10:30 am to 12:00 because great portion of elderly didn't take breakfast frequently. 52.3% of centers severed meal 5 times per week, just weekdays. 21.3% of centers employeed dietitian, 63.8% of center employeed cook. 95.7% of center were supported labor force by volunteers. Volunteer was important contribution to free meal service. Utilizing the labor force more effectively is thus a major challenge facing manager in each center. Ideal supporting system of free foodstuff, foodbank was still minor source of securing foodstuff. Most of centers(46 centers)served lunch, only one of them served breakfast and lunch. Government was the major financial sponsor, the second of them was religious organization. The large portions of financial support provided only food cost of total meal service budget. Most of center adapted self-service system. Standardized recipes were not developed and meal preparation was controlled under the experience of volunteers. Recording system of nutrition management, production control, storage and inventory control was not adapted by most of sites. It is suggested that in order to meet the change of the patterns of social and family structure, the service of the center should be offended in urban area and it is necessary to develop systematic management models for the center. It was suggested that not only financial support but also systematical support on management by the local government may be necessary to meet the goal of supply nutritionally balanced food at center.

본 연구는 여대생 의 식습관이나 식품섭취 횟수가 모발의 상태에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 연구하고자 청주에 있는 2년제 여대생 291명을 대상으로 설문지를 통하여 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 대상자들의 거주형태는 자택이 가장 많았고. 평균 한달 용돈은 10~20만원 사이였다. 대상자의 식습관은 불규칙하였으며, 아침식사를 하지 않는 대상자가 많았다. 모발상태 역시 손상모가 많았으며. 손상원인은 주로 염색, 탈색, 퍼머, 드라이 등이었다. 식습관과 모발상태와의 관련성은 유의성이 없었으며, 생선류, 콩류 등의 식품섭취빈도가 높을수록 탈모, 백모, 머리결 손상 등의 문제점이 적게 나타났다. (p<0.05) 술이나 커피같은 기호식품의 섭취빈도도 모발의 성장에 영향을 미쳐, 술이나 커피의 섭취량이 높을수록 모발의 성장이 지연되었다. 이상의 결과로 식습관과 식품 섭취빈도 등이 모발의 상태에 영향을 미친다는 것을 알았고, 대학생은 모발이 많이 손상될 수 있는 시기인 점을 고려한다면 여대생에게 있어서 규칙적인 식습관 이나 올바른 식품선택이 중요하며 모발영양에 대한 교육이 필요하다고 사료된다.

Monascus anka KFCC 4478의 적색소 생산력을 증가시키기 위하여 배지조성 및 배양조건에 대하여 검토하였다. 공시균주의 색소 생성력은 탄소원으로 glucose 4.0%, 유기질소원으로 peptone 3.0%, 무기질소원으로 NaNO_3 0.15%, 비타민 성분으로 thiamine-HCI 및 nicotinic acid 각 10㎍/l였으며, 배양온도 30℃, 초기 pH 7.0이었다. 특히 유기질소원과 무기질소원을 복합 처리함으로서 색소 생성력이 향상되었다. 결정된 색소생성 최적조건하에서 본 공시균주는 배양 5일만에 최대 균체 증식과 색소 생성력을 나타내었다.

치자에서 황색색소를 제조한 후 생기는 부산물을 Bacillus를 이용하여 청색색소로의 전환실험을 한 결과, 색소생성의 최적조건은 온도 30℃, pH 6.0, 최적 탄소원인 glucose의 농도는 3%, 최적질소원인 yeast extract의 농도는 0.4%였다. 발효조내에서 청색색소로의 전환을 위한 최적반응 조건은 교반속도 400rpm, 최적통기량은 2vvm, 최적 종균 접종량은 5%, 최적 종균 배양시간은 20시간으로 나타났다.

This study was to evaluate the anthropometry, dietary attitudes and the other factors of 201 children in day-care centers according to their parents' income levels. The evaluation was conducted using anthropometric measurements such as height, weight, skinfold thickness, blood pressure, and questionnaire survey which was completed by the children's mothers. The results are summarized as follows: Overall growth of children was normal according to Korean standard. There were no significant differences in anthropometry according to the income levels. The scores of eating habits of children were different significantly according to income levels. That is, the score was the lowest in the low-income group. Children generally prefer one-dish meal or snacks, while the preference levels of kimchi, seasoned vegetable and beans broiled in soysauce were lower than those cf other foods. In the questions to know mothers' nutrition knowledge, we could see that they didn't know well about protein, breast-feeding, weaning and balance in nutrients. Nutrition knowledge score of mothers was significantly lower in the low income group, which shows close relationship with low-score eating habits of their children. The score of nutrition knowledge was affected by the mother's education level. The higher the mother's nutrition knowledge and education level, the better children's eating habits. These findings emphasize the planning and application of nutrition education programs for mothers especially in the low income group.

According to economical status, under-nutrition and over-nutrition coexist in preschool children in Korea. Subjects consumed more than RDA in most nutrients, and children in of the upper income class tended to have more nutrients than those of the low income class. Especially in case of energy, protein, fat, vitamin B2, and P there were significant differences among the different classes. The mean calorie compositions of carbohydrates, protein and fat were 57~59: 16~17: 26~27 and fat calorie percentage was higher than quantity recommended for Korean adults. Energy, protein, Fe, vitamin A, B1 and C intakes were taken mostly from plant food sources. In the upper income class group, intakes of protein and vitamin B2 from animal food sources were higher than in any other income classes. Intakes of iron, vitamin A, B1 and C were largely provided by plant food group. Especially 44-45% of vitamin A were taken from vegetable and fruits group, which indicated that about 50% of vitamin A intake was the form of β-carotene. Also compared with other groups, in the upper income class group, the intakes of energy, protein, Ca, p, vitamin B1 and vitamin B2 from cereal and potatoes were significantly lower, and those of Ca and P from milks and meats, fishes & eggs were significantly higher(p〈0.05). The mean fat intake in all subjects was 38~43g/day. Regardless of income class, oleic acid(6.6~8.4g) and linoleic acid(6.7~8.1g) were the most abundant fatty acids contained in the diet. The upper class group consumed significantly more total saturated fatty acids and total monounsaturated fatty acids(p〈0.05). In polyunsaturated fatty acids, there were no differences between 3 different income classes, but intakes of total Ω6 fatty acids in the upper class tended to be higher and those of total o3 fatty acids in low class tended to be higher. Therefore, Ω6/Ω3 tended to be higher in the upper class group. Regardless of income classes, P/M/S and Ω6/Ω3 ratios in all subjects were 0.9~l.3/1.0~1.1/1.0 and 5.2~7.4/1.0, respectively and were in a desirable range. Cholesterol intake of subject was 184-218 mg/day, which was comparable to the value of Korean adult intake.

현재 사용 중인 합성색소 중에서 사용빈도가 가장 높은 합성색소 중의 하나인 황색4호의 대체용 천연색소를 치자에서 추출하였으며 추출조건은 추출온도 70℃, 추출시간 48시간, 추출 pH 7.0 및 기질농도는 10%였으며, 이 때의 추출수율은 61%였다. 추출한 조색소를 정제하기 위하여 활성백토를 사용하여 정제를 실시하였으며, 조색소액에서 배당체 성분과 색소성분을 각각 단일 peak로 분리하였다. 조색소액을 정제한 후 정제도는 약 27배 증가하였고, 수율은 96%로 높게 나타났다.

The contents of articles on food safety and policy in the Donga and Chosun Ilbo from January 1960 to June 1996 were analyzed for the evaluation of subjects and trends in mass media. Among the total of 490 articles, those on cereals were most frequently appeared (20.0%), followed by the articles on sea foods (10.6%) and meats (10.0%). Articles on fats and oils were the least (2.0%) in frequencies. The proportions of articles classified based on the 10-year interval were 28.0% in the 60's, 28.0% in the 70's, 20.6% in the 80's, and 23.4% in the 90's. Major contents of articles were the safety of imported foods, food contaminations by agricultural chemicals, heavy metals and harmful additives.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the important changes and the trends in Korean newspaper articles related to 1) food habits and food consumption patterns 2) nutrition, health and diseases 3) food safety and policy. The method used in this study was content analysis of the articles pressed in Donga ilbo and Choseun ilbo from January 1960 to June 1996. Among the total 1814 articles, those on nutrition, health and disease were 922 (50.8%), food safety and policy were 490 (27%) and food habits and consumption patterns were 402 (22.2%). The articles related to food habits and consumption patterns dealt with four contents, food habits reformation, changes in food consumption patterns, nutritional status and food habits. The frequencies of food habits content were highest (51.1%) and especially increased in 1980's and 1990's as the concerns on health and pursuit of convenience were increased. Most of contents related to food habits were health and longevity diet (44%) and eating out (27.5%). The percentile of food habits reformation, the changes in food consumption patterns and nutritional status were 20.1%, 18.4% and 10.0%, respectively. The contents of food habits reformation were most interested in 1960's when food shortage and poverty prevailed. Nowadays, the major subjects of food habits reformation were changed to the problem of wastage and the use of our agricultural foods. The frequencies of change in food consumption patterns were gradually increased from 1960's (7 item) to June 1996 (34 items). And the most of contents related to nutritional status were focused on suffering from food shortage especially in 1960's.

This study was designed to investigate clinical features, allergy-inducing substances as well as foods, and nutritional behavior of allergic patients. Sixty-eight adult male and 78 adult female patients were surveyed by using the self-developed questionnairs. The results were as follows: 1. The common target organs of allergic symptoms included bronchus, skin and nose. 2. 37.7% of the subjects did not recognize their allergy inducing substances. Among the known substances, house-dust mite, food, temperature and weather change, pollens, smoke, air pollution materials, drugs and even stress provoked symptoms. 3. As for the food allergy, a number of foods were found to be implicated in allergic reactions. These foods included pork, chicken, seafoods such as mackerel, crab & shrimp, milk, egg, peanut, apple and pupa. Symptoms and signs of food reactions included urticaria, asthma, and rhinitis. 4. The nutrition adequacy ratio (NAR) of energy was below 0.75 for male patients and about 0.80 for female patients. And 24.0% of the subjects were regarded as excellent, 31.5% as fair, and 44.5% as poor in food related behavior evaluation.
