The purpose of this study was to determine the basic materials needed for nutrition and health programs for aged people. In order to set up these programs, the nutritional habit, nutritional knowledge and functional health status (mobility, functional assessment, and falls efficacy) of the aged were measured, and their relationships were determined. Data was collected on 57 aged individuals that participated in the 'Exercise Program for the Aged' conducted by the National Health Insurance Corporation. These 57 subjects were interviewed and tested by direct measurement prior to conducting the program. The data was analyzed using the SPSS 13.0 Package. According to the results, the nutritional habit ranged from 24-50 out of 50, and the average was 37.2, which was above the middle level. The average nutritional knowledge was of 4.02 out of 5, which was considered reasonably high. Especially, more than half of these subjects were uneducated, but they had a high interest in nutrition. The average mobility was determined to be 9.2 seconds and the falls efficacy was 64.2 out of 100. In addition, subjects answered that they had a fear of falling due to low confidence, which indicates that safety education for the prevention of falls should be provided to aged individuals in the future. The results showed that notable counter-relations between nutritional habit and functional health status existed.

본 연구에서는 누룩의 품질을 개선시키고자 전통누룩에서 분리한 Rhizopus japonicus T2, Aspergillus oryzae L2 및 Hansenula sp. BC26을 살균된 밀기울에 접종하여 개량누룩을 제조한 후에 현재 양조장에서 사용하고 있는 발효제인 시판누룩 및 쌀입국과 중요 특성을 비교 조사하였다. 개량누룩은 구수한 좋은 냄새를 나타내었으나 시판누룩은 좋지 못한 냄새를 나타내었고 쌀입국은 특별한 냄새가 없었다. 침출액의 색은 개량누룩은 황색, 시판누룩은 연한 황색, 쌀입국은 무색이었고, pH는 개량누룩은 6.15, 시판누룩은 6.01, 쌀입국은 3.30이었다. 효모수는 개량우룩은 7.6×10 exp (6)CFU/g이었으나 시판누룩과 쌀입국에서는 검출되지 않았다. 젖산균수는 시판누룩은 1.0×10 exp (2)CFU/g이었으나 개량누룩과 쌀입국에서는 검출되지 않았다. 개량누룩은 시판누룩이나 쌀입국에 비하여 전분 당화력, 전분 호정화력 및 단백질 분해력이 현저히 높았다. 주모를 제조했을 때 개량누룩 주모는 좋은 에스테르향이 있었고, 시판누룩 주모는 불쾌한 냄새가 있었으며, 쌀입국 주모는 에스테르향도 없고 불쾌한 냄새도 없었다. 본 개량누룩을 주모 제조시에 사용할 경우에는 산의 보충이 필요할 것으로 보며, 그 품질은 시판누룩이나 쌀입국보다 훨씬 좋은 것으로 판단된다.
