In this study, we characterized the chemical properties of golden berries, which contain various functional substances and bioactive components, to develop a yogurt dressing using golden berry juice. The total polyphenol content of golden berry was 35.29 mg GAE/g, the total flavonoid content was 28.93 mg QE/g, and the DPPH radical scavenging activity was 94.81%. The chromaticity of yogurt dressing with golden berry juice decreased in L value and increased in a and b values with growing amounts of golden berry juice (p<0.001); viscosity decreased significantly with increasing amounts of golden berry juice (p<0.001). Electronic tongue analysis showed that sourness, umami taste, and saltiness increased upon increasing the quantity of golden berry juice, while sweetness and bitterness increased with less golden berry juice. PCA analysis determined that PC1 and PC2 accounted for 63.45% and 35.29% of the variance, respectively. Furthermore, the addition of golden berry juice impacted the analysis of taste patterns. Sensory evaluation showed that color, flavor, sweetness, sourness, bitterness, and overall acceptability were highest in the 30% golden berry juice group. As a result, it was confirmed that adding golden berry juice is suitable for developing yogurt dressings that can improve health functions and palatability.

Tempeh is a traditional Indonesian food that is fermented soybeans with Rhizopus spp. and contains high-quality protein. In this study, tempeh and yeast were set as independent variables following the central composite design to optimize the nutritional quality and sensory characteristics of high-protein loaf bread added with tempeh. The optimal mixing ratio was calculated through the response surface methodology. The optimal mixing ratio of tempehadded loaf bread was 11.27 g of tempeh and 5.46 g of yeast. A comparative analysis of the quality characteristics between the tempeh-added loaf bread and the control group produced by the optimal recipe showed that tempehadded loaf bread contained higher protein content, lower carbohydrates and fats, and lower calories. Among amino acids, essential amino acids such as aspartic acid, threonine, glycine, alanine, lysine, and histidine were significantly higher in tempeh-added loaf bread. Among fatty acids, butyric acid, capric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, palmitoleic acid, and heptadecanoic acid were significantly higher in tempeh-added loaf bread, while lauric acid, linoleic acid, and linolenic acid were significantly lower. This study confirmed the suitability of tempeh as an ingredient for protein-enhanced loaf bread and the potential possibility of it being utilized in bakeries.

The influence of the food value consumption type of MZ generation on food choice attribute and sustainable food consumption behavior was studied using structural equation modeling. A survey was conducted on April 11~17, 2022, among panels aged 20 to 39. A total of 350 valid replicates (100%) were analyzed using statistical program SPSS The validity of the measurement instrument was verified through exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. The data reliability was confirmed using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. The hypothesis was verified by performing path analysis through structural equation modeling using AMOS. Regarding the influence of food choice characteristics on sustainable food consumption behavior, health has a significant positive (+) effect on the selection consumption behavior of certified food and local food. Among food value consumption categories social value consumption has a significant negative (－) influence on the consumption behavior of certified food and the choice of local food. Ethical value consumption has a significant positive (+) influence on the selection consumption behavior of certified food and local food. This study is significant because it has identified sustainable food consumption behaviors that domestic consumers can adopt daily. It can use as baseline data for preparing political and institutional measures.

This study aimed at elementary, middle, and high school dietitians who purchase ingredients for school meals. Therefore, for the study, the awareness and usage of nutritional information by 108 teachers and dieticians on 5 hazard-free meals using multivariate analysis of variance were investigated during May 18~21, 2021. Among the five questions that asked the general perceptions of school meal dietitians of 5 hazard-free meals, the perception that the “5 hazard-free foods can be easily distinguished” was the lowest. Problems were associated with using the 5 hazard-free meals such as “expensive price,” “no variety in items,” “disruption in the supply and demand,” “inconsistent quality,” and “lack of taste,” in that order. Therefore, to improve 5 hazard-free school meal service, it is necessary to not only lower the price burden by providing subsidies to schools but also improve the development and distribution structure of various 5 hazard-free foods.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of the five senses activities involving food ingredients on the eating behavior of infants. The study was carried out four times over 6 months. We surveyed 65 nursery school infants and teachers who were registered at the 2020 Guro-gu Center for Children’s Food Service Management in Seoul. They participated in the five senses education specialization project. The results of the study showed that the scores relating to unbalanced diet, hygiene management, dietary attitude, and dietary manners were visibly higher than those before participating in the five senses educational activities. In addition, there was a significant difference in the perception of the food ingredients used in the five senses education activities. Finally, as a result of investigating the types of education used before, during, and after the five senses education activities, and the need for education by type, cooking activities were observed to rank higher than other activities in all questions. Based on this, if dietary guidance is provided through a variety of five senses education activities over a long period rather than as a one-time event, it will be beneficial to the children's healthy eating habits.
