This study was carried out to investigate the quality characteristics of pear jam containing fresh ginger(G1) and ginger powders; dried ginger powder(G2), freeze-dried ginger powder(G3), and hot-air dried ginger powder(G4). The moisture, crude protein, and crude ash content of the control group were significantly higher than those of the experimental groups (p<0.001, p<0.05, p<0.01). The pH of the dried ginger powder added jam(G2) was the lowest(p<0.05). Texture profile analysis found that the dried ginger powder added jam(G2) had the highest firmness, consistency, cohesiveness, and resistance to flow/viscosity among all samples(p<0.001). Regarding the spread-meter value of the pear jam, the control group (G1) and hot air-dried ginger powder added jam(G4) had the highest values. The dried ginger power added jam(G2) had the lowest value among the samples(p<0.01). Regarding the color values of the pear jam, the control group(G1) had the highest L and b values. Hot-air dried ginger powder added jam(G4), on the other hand, had the lowest(p<0.001). The opposite was true for a value: hot-air dried ginger powder added jam(G4) had the highest. From the sensory evaluation, a positive trend was observed for the appearance of the dried ginger powder added jam(G2)(p<0.001). For sweetness, the dried ginger powder added jam(G2) had the highest value. A positive trend was observed for the overall acceptability of the dried ginger powder-added jam(G2)(p<0.001). Therefore, the dried ginger powder-added sample(G2) seemed to be the most appropriate to make pear jam with high acceptability.

This study was conducted to investigate the consumption of milk, along with satisfaction for improvement of the school milk program in middle school. The subjects were 447 middle school students(265 male, 182 female) in the Gyeonggi area, who were asked to fill out the questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed by a SAS package. The results showed that 53.2% of the subjects were participating in the school milk program. Regarding the frequency of milk consumption, 77.7% of students reported daily milk consumption and 65.3% of students reported they drank milk when it was available. 56.8% of the students responded that they were satisfied with the school milk program. Male students not participating in the school milk program cited the reason as "eating at home", while non-participating female students cited the reason as "tasteless". When asked whether they accepted or rejected the school milk program, male students(97.7%) and female students(97.8%) answered "it should be executed". To improve the school milk program, most of the students(72.2%) stated that "it should be selected among flavored milk(strawberry, banana, chocolate, black bean, and husked rice milk) instead of white milk". Therefore, in order to increase the intake of milk, the students should develop the habit of drinking milk to gain the attention of parents. Also, schools should attempt to help through offering proper dietary education.

십자화과 식물인 무(Raphanus sativus L.)의 어린싹(무순)이 독특한 향과 맛으로 소비가 증가하고 있는바 그 향기성분을 SDE(simultaneous steam djstillation/extraction) 법과 P&T(purge and cryogenic trapping)법으로 추출하여 비교, 분석하였다. 향기성분 포집시 SDE법에서는 diethyl ether 및 diethyl ether-pentane mixture(2:1, v/v)를 용매로 사용하고 P&T법에서는 diethyl ether를 사용하였다. GC와 GC-MS를 사용하여 동정한 결과 diethyl ether로 추출한 SDE법에서는 함황화합물(19종, 76.6%)이 주성분이었고, diethyl ether-pentane mixture로 추출한 경우 함황화합물(15종, 44.0%)과 탄화수소류(23종. 23.8%)가 주성분이었으며, P&T법으로 추출할 경우는 탄화수소류(25종, 84.1%)가 주성분이었다. 또한 신선한 무순의 주 향기성분은 hydrocarbon류인 n-heptane, methyl pentane이었으며, 익은 무순의 주 향기성분은sulfur compound에 속하며 무의 주성분이기도 한 4-methylthio-3-butenyl isothiocyanate, methyl mercaptane. 2.3-dimethyl disulfide 등이었다. SDE법보다 P&T법에 의해 추출할 경우 향기성분의 종류와 상대적인 양은 적어 분리능은 떨어지는 편이나 저분자 휘발성 물질은 오히려 더 많이 검출되어 추출방법에 따라 포집되는 향기성분의 종류와 양에 차이가 있었다.
