Kimchi and soup/stew samples were collected from Korean restaurants in the Jeonju area and their salinity levels were analysed. Restaurant owners were also surveyed to assess their salt acceptability and attitudes. The average salinity of the Kimchi samples was 2.0±0.4% and that of the soup/stew samples was 1.0±0.3%. The average salinity of the soup samples was 0.9±0.2% and that of the stew samples was 1.1±0.3%, and the average salinity of the stews was significantly higher than that of the soups (p〈0.001). The average salinity of bean-paste soups was 0.9±0.2% and that of clear soups was 0.8±0.2%, in which the average salinity of the bean-paste soups was significantly higher than that of the clear soups (p〈0.05). When asked about the saltiness of their side dishes, soups/stews, and Kimchi, the largest number of owners answered 'ordinary'. About 50.4% of the owners also answered 'ordinary' for their salt acceptability, and 59.8% answered that their customers have 'ordinary' salt acceptability. However, a significantly higher ratio of owners in the group whose Kimchi samples had low salinity answered that their customers' salt acceptability was for 'flat' foods as compared to the group whose Kimchi was of high salinity (p〈0.05). About 45.7% of the owners answered that 'they participated in controlling the saltiness of all their dishes', and 40.2% answered that 'they considered the traditional saltiness of their menu items as more important than the saltiness acceptability of their customers.' Also, 82.7% of the owners answered 'they made the Kimchi themselves.' The types of frequently served soup were clear soup, such as bean-sprout soup and seaweed soup, followed by bean-paste soup and thick beef soup, in order. The types of frequently served stews were Gochujang stew with frozen pollack or croaker, bean-paste stew, and clear stew.

This study was conducted to investigate the physicochemical characteristics of Sunchang traditional kochujang(fermented hot pepper-soy bean paste) for quality standardization. The kochujang samples, which have been fermented for 8 months in 1999, were collected from 20 firms at folk village in Sunchang area and analyzed their chemical compositions and color reference. The mean value of moisture, amino-type nitrogen, pH, acidity and salt content of the samples collected were 44.62±1.79%, 132.66±21.67 mg%, 4.52±0.08, 15.77±1.62 and 8.76±1.55%, respectively. The moisture, pH, acidity and salt content of each sample did not show much differences among samples. The Hunter values(L, a and b) of Sunchang traditional kochujang were 25.72±1.58, 23.26±1.71 and 9.86±0.94, respectively. The mean content of amino-type nitrogen of Sunchang traditional kochujang was 132.66±21.67 mg%, and there were a little difference between the minimum(100.33 mg%) and the maximum(164.56 mg%). The main free sugars of Sunchang traditional kochujang were fructose(1.86±1.01%), dextrose(4.29±2.06%), sucrose(0.54±1.21%), and maltose(1.48±0.77%). The contents of fructose, dextrose, and maltose had little difference among samples. The fatty acids in Sunchang traditional kochujang were composed of palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic, linolenic, octadecatetraenoic, arachidonic and behenic acid. The linoleic acid(18:2) showed the highest, occuping 59.37% of the total fatty acids.

본 연구는 병원성 Escherichia coli O157 : H7에 의한 감염을 예방하기 위하여 알칼리에서의 적응성과 항균요법제에 의한 불확실성화 효과를 조사하였다. Escherichia coli O157 : H7은 고 농도의 알칼리 (pH 11.5)에 노출 후, pH 9에서의 증식이 pH 7에서보다 좀 더 저항성이 있게 나타나 알칼리에서의 적응능력이 강했다. 이러한 알칼리 적응성은 pH 9에서 6시간 이내에서 잘 나타났다. 한편 Escherichia coli O157 : H7은 항균요법제 중 saicin 과 ceftnaxone에서 감수성이 매우 높았고, 반면, erythromycin과 yosamycin에서는 저항성이 높았다. 또한 saicin과 ceftriaxone에 5∼100kGy로 감마선을 조사하여도 균주의 최소발육저해농도(MIC)에는 영향을 미치지 않았다.

수산용 항균제로 널리 사용되고 있는 옥소린산의 잔류량을 전북지역에서 시판중인 뱀장어 근육조직에서 측정하였다. 후배부 근육중의 옥소린산 잔류량은 시료에 따라 많은 차이가 있었으며 2%의 시료에서는 검출되지 않았다. 옥소린산이 검출된 시료중 16%에서는 그 농도가 0.1 ppm 이상이었다. 중요 장기중의 옥소린산 농도는 신장>간장>혈장>근육의 순이었다. 근육중의 옥소린산은 10분 가열에 의해 거의 감소되지 않았으며 30분 가열에 의해서는 원래 농도의 50% 수준으로 감소하였으나 30분 가열 후의 시료는 심하게 탄화되었다. 고용량의 옥소린산을 실험실적으로 뱀장어에 투여하여 얻은 근육중의 농도나 수용액중의 옥소린산이 가열에 의해 파괴되는 경향을 검토함으로써 옥소린산의 열안정성이 확인되었다. 이 연구 결과는 뱀장어 소비자를 옥소린산 섭취로부터 보호할 수 있는 규제의 강화가 필요함을 시사한다.

This experiment was carried out in order to collect the basic data on the standardization of the manufacturing process of Rehmannia glutinosa Libosch. var. purpurea Makino drying. By the drying methods of R. glutinosa, the content of water, inorganic components, reducing sugar, catalpol and benzo[α]pyrene were investigated. The water content was 15.6~17.2% when R. glutinosa was dried by cold-warm air moisture absorption drying method (CAMAD) at 60℃ during 6 days. Among of the inorganic components of R. glutinosa the K content was the most followed by P, Na, Ca and Mg. The reducing sugar content of R. glutinosa by the hot air drying method (HAD) was much more than that by the CAMAD. The catalpol content of R. glutinosa was not different by the drying temperature when it was dried by the CAMAD. The catalpol content of the large size tuber (about 50.0 g/unit) showed a tendency to increase from 60℃ until 70℃ drying temperature, but that of the small size tuber(about 4.0 g/unit) was decreased as being a trend as the drying temperature high when R. glutinosa was dried by the HAD, But the catalpol content R. glutinosa had a tendency to drop significantly at drying temperature above 80℃. The benzo[α]pyrene content was little detected when R. glutinosa was dried by both the SLD and the CAMAD, and the sampling by the HAD indicated within the scope of 5 μg/kg which was the scope to regulate by Korean food and drug administration. In conclusion, it seemed that an appropriate drying temperature of R. glutinosa by the CAMAD and the HAD was about 60℃ and about 70℃, respectively, when we consider the catalpol content and benzo[α]pyrene detection in the manufacturing process of drying R. glutinosa.

백삼분말, 홍삼분말 및 홍삼추출농축액 등의 인삼제품을 첨가하여 기능성 식빵 제조에 이용하고자 인삼제품의 첨가량을 달리하여 반죽에 대한 물성을 측정하고 식빵을 제조하여 품질특성을 조사하였다. Farinograph, extensograph 및 amylograph에 의한 분석결과, 인삼제품의 첨가량이 증가할수록 높은 수분흡수력이 나타났고 반죽의 안정도가 무첨가구에 비하여 불안정하여 반죽시간이 단축되었으며 R/E값 및 점도가 감소하였다. 또한 발효시간의
