This study was performed to develop a therapeutic diet against aging and obesity, using Yangha(Zingiber mioga R.). Before development of a therapeutic diet, we performed cell viability assay, analysis of general composition, macrominerals and antioxidantive activities of Yangha. Based on the findings from analyzing the results, mook using Yangha powder(0～ 20%) was processed, and tested for quality characteristics such as color values, sensory evaluation and mechanical properties. The result of cell viability assay of myoga, using liver cells, revealed that within the concentration range from 500 ㎍/㎖ to 10, 000 ㎍/㎖, cell survivability increased in line with the concentration rate. Therefore, it will not be harmful to consume it as food. Regarding the normal substance of myoga, the water substance of myoga was 94%, which exceeds that of ginger and tumeric with 89% and 83%, respectively. As for crude protein, fat, carbon hydrates and ash, myoga contained less than the other two, which I think is due to the high water substance. Regarding the minerals, potassium had the highest contents among macrominerals of 234.74 ㎎%. As for the antioxidant test, hydroxy radical scavenging activity and superoxide radical scavenging activity were shown. As for the production of Yangha mook(Yangha powder levels were 0～ 20%) for quality characteristics, the more of the powder, the less the L, but the greater the a and b values. Also, for the material property, an increased amount of the powder, resulted in chewiness and springiness, but less gumminess in a correlated manner. However, there were no significant differences in the springiness and cohesiveness in relation to the powder. For the sensory test, jelly type ZM5 with 5% powder showed highest overall preference. According to the sensory test, based on the powder substance, the jelly with 5% powder showed the highest overall score, including preference.

The purpose of this study was to determine the influences on physical status and study achievement by the dietary behavior of the youth in Korea. The survey was carried from June to July, 1995 by way of questionnaire to 397 students. The students' study achievement records and physical status were analyzed by the factor of dietary behavior. The results were as follows: 1 The average physical status of male students was lean, but females were standard. 76ft of mothers of the subjects were working in specialty farming. The monthly income of their family was 1000~1500 thousand Won and students' pocket money was 20~40 thousand Won per month. 2. The aspects of meal behavior included the general idea that the meal was thought to relieve hunger, and preference of taste was spiciness The most important factor of the meals for the students was taste. Their bad meal habits were quick eating and irregularity of meals. 3. There was a significant difference in the comparison of the study achieving records with the frequency of supper However, there was no one meaningful difference between study achievement records and the attendance rate to school, health status, and living conditions. However, there was a significant difference between their study records and eating with family. The students, who had the breakfast and/or supper with family, remarked better study records than other groups. 4. Also, there was a significant difference of study records with physical status. The overweight or obese students had a lower degree of study score (p〈0.1). Adolescence is considered a period of setting up dietary behavior, so it is necessary to educate good nutrition and dietary habits for students to keep in healthy physical condition and with high study achievements.

The purpose of this paper was to grasp some aspects of use of imported foods at the rural homes with the growing generation. So we put some questions to the 399 middle school and high school students. The results were as follows: (1) The number of the homes using the imported foods, which marks 56.9% of the whole, was higher than the number of the homes not using the ones. (2) Even though the use of imported foods had no relation with the occupations of the student's mothers, the degree of living quality, the situations of food consumption, and so on, however the use ratio was high at the homes of middle class. (3) The students of the home of using imported foods favored the traditional diets, and marked 63% of the objective students of investigation. The students who like the western style of diets marked the high frequency of the use of the imported foods. On the other hand, the students who like the Chinese foods used the meat and fishes and processed foodstuffs among the imported foods. (4) The frequency of instant foods for the carried lunches showed the meaningful relation with frequency of use of imported foods. (5) In the view of use of instant foods for the lunches, the group of people who carried the lunches 3 or 5 times per week used the imported meat foods, the other group who carried the lunches 1 or 2 times per week marked the high frequency of having coffee and tea.

The purpose of this paper is to develop the software for the diagnosis and evaluation of the nutritional ingestion status of inviduals or a group of family members who have inhabited in rural and urban, based on the suggested amount of nutrition and foods. This software can be used for the computation for the needed amount of nutrition, which is suitable to the economic conditions of individuals and group of family members, and for the reduction of effort to plan the balanced table menu and effort to manage the diets. However, those commercial softwares were hard to be purchased and expensive for the users, and even if they were purchased, it needs much time and efforts to operate and run the program. Especially those commerical software were not possible to revise when the user has faced with the need to revise and complement the input data according to his situations such as the individuals and the group of family members. The software which was developed to treat the table menu and the nutrition was very limited to the particular persons. That is, the software was not for the evaluation of the nutrition synthetically and reasonably, because it was planed to use for the patients and the group of hospital and research centers. However this software has a merit of providing the table menu and the nutritional diagnosis in that it can show the suggested amount of nutrition, the evaluation of nutrition, the methods of diet, and management of nutrition individually according to the age, sex, amount of exercise, and experience of sickness. The expected effect can be predicted to calculate the lacking amount of nutrition which the individual has taken, and be provided to the suitable table menu. In addition to this, the various table menu is based on the foods which can be purchased easily and inexpensively at any times.

본 연구는 식품의 물성을 측정하기 위한 한 가지 방법으로 50변위를 아주 정밀하게 직선적으로 측정이 가능한 linear proximity sensor(선형 근접 센서)를 활용하여 식빵의 굳기를 측정하였다. 선형 근접 센서를 장착한 기구로 몇 가지 응력(0.376 0.543, 0.769 kPa) 하에서 식빵의 온도와 수분 함량에 따른 변형을 컴퓨터 자동 자료 수집 장치를 통하여 on-line 상태로 매초마다 자료를 수집하여 컴퓨터 자료 분석 program으로 그래프를 얻었다. 식빵에 적용한 응력과 strain의 비율은 응력이 클수록 그 값이 커지는 비 선형 점탄성체의 성질을 보였다. 이 측정 기구는 좁은 온도 범위와 작은 수분함량의 차이가 따른 식빵의 굳기의 정도에 현저한 차이가 있음을 관찰할 수 있었다. 선형 근접 센서를 활용한 이 기구는 간단하면서도 정밀하게 동적으로 식품의 물성을 측정할 수 있었고, 높은 반복성을 나타내었다. 또한 수집된 자료는 점탄성체의 특성을 설명하는 기계적인 모형으로 나타낼 수 있었다. Inokuchi의 방법을 적용하여 식빵의 물성을 모형화 하면 용수철과 완충 장치의 조합으로 나타내는 Burger`s모형에 잘 일치하였다. 본 측정 장치는 설치와 사용이 간단하여 식빵과 같은 연 식품의 물성을 측정하는데 활용이 용이하였다.

This study was designed to investigate age-related changes in body composition and cell mediated immunity. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed stock diet ad libitum and 12 rats were sacrified at 1, 4, 6, 12 months of age. Body weight increased sharply from 1 to 4 months, and increased steadily thereafter. The weights of liver, epididymal fat pads, and kidney increased in similar pattern as body weight, but their relative ratio to body weight decreased with age. The ratio of epididymal fat pads to body weight increased with age. The weight of extensor digitorium longus, soleus and plantaris increased from 1 to 4 months, but it decreased at 6, 12 months. The protein content of muscles decreased or increased throughout 12 months. The T cell proliferation response to Con A stimulation was significantly lower at 6 months than 1 momth and lower at 12 months than 6 months.
