The elderly population in Korea is growing rapidly and their nutritional status is not acceptable. Data were collected from the self-administered questionnaire of 495 free living elderly, over 65years old, in Korea to asses the intake and consumption pattern of milk and dairy products. The questionnaire contains demographics, health related characteristics, and perception on milk, and consumption behaviors of milk and dairy products. Most of the elderly subjects understood that milk is good foods in terms of nutritive value and health. And 67% of the subjects satisfied with the sanitation status of milk on the markets. The kind of milk that majority of the subjects consumed was whole milk, and only 5.1% of them consumed low fat milk. Less than 20% of the subjects consumed milk everyday, living alone group consumed milk less frequently than living with others. It was found that the majority of the elderly subjects did not meet current recommendation for milk. Liquid and curd type yogurt were the major dairy products used among elderly, and the reasons were good taste and digestion. They believed that these kinds of dairy products help constipation and digestion problems. The price of milk was ranked for the first factor needed to be considered for milk and dairy products consumption in elderly korean.

This study examined what the effects of computer discussions on interactive English language use of students who were considered reticent in class, and their perceptions of self-efficacy and language anxiety, and how different individual types of students would interact with the different contexts of oral and computer discussions. Data were collected using quantitative methods for discussion data and self-efficacy and language anxiety measures, and qualitative methods for interview and class observation from an advanced ESL writing class. The results indicated that the computer discussions seemed to help reticent students enhance their quantitative productivity in discussions, but it did not necessarily elicit more sophisticated and complex English language from these students. The analyses for students’ self-efficacy and anxiety measures further suggested that the computer discussions could contribute to lowering students’ language anxiety but not to improvement of their self-efficacy. In addition, the qualitative analysis illustrated that the students of one participant group would establish different emotional experience from those of the other group in the oral discussions. Then, the experiences of these students seemed to be created differently within the novel context of computer discussions.

The purpose of this research was to have a proper understanding, to have a concern about native local foods and to discover unknown them in Wonju. The data was obtained by use of questionaries to residents(1977 persons) and cook(172 persons) in Wonju and statistical analysis was performed. Frequency and percentage were acquired using SPSS program. To turn out the significant difference between general conditions and each groups t-test and F-test were used. The results of this survey had briefly summarized as follows 1. The results were total 99 kinds of food revealed as a native local foods and 9 kinds of the special products of Wonju. 2. The main materials were potato, com, buckwheat, acorn, pheasant, mushroom, arrowroot, and wild edible greens. 3. The local foods in Wonju were formed with it's own natural material and cooked by original cooking method. 4. The highest perceptional score items were the hot Tang(Hwangtaehaejangguk, Chueotang, Oritang, Gamjatang, Minmulmaeuntang, Tojongdakbaeksuk, Hwanggibaeksuk, Eomnamusamgyetang), and the Bap(Bibimbap, Ssambap, Sanchae-jeongsik) and the noodles(Potato sujebi, Dongchimimakhukso, Olchaengiguksu, Jangsujebi, arrowroot noodle,Gamjaongsimi).

Sourdough 빵을 생산하기 위해 사용되는 유산균중 Lb. brevis는 높은 산 생성율과 단백질 분해 활성과 sourdough 발효 중 발생되는 휘발성 화합물의 합성에 뚜렷하게 기여를 하여 많이 사용되고 있다 따라서 본 실험은 김치에서 분리한 유산균을 sourdough starter로 사용하기 위한 첫 번째 단계로서 Lactobacillus brevis UC-22의 배양 특성 및 최적 성장조건을 조사하였다. 온도에 따른 증식은 35℃에서 배양한 것이 pH의 저하 및 증식이 가장 양호하였으며 이에 병행하여 산 생성량도 균주의 대수 증식기에서 활발하게 분비되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 배지내의 pH에 따른 균의 생장은 pH 5.5와 pH 6.5일 때 증식이 우수하게 나타났다. Lb. brevis의 특정적인 탄소원 이용은 glucose보다는 오히려 maltose를 더 선호하는 경향이 있다고 하였으나 본 실험에서 사용된 Lactobacillus brevis UC-22 는 maltose와 glucose의 첨가에 따른 성장 정도는 큰 차이점을 보이지 않았다.

After 1960, staple food consumption pattern of Korea underwent a significant change from the former rice-barley pattern to the present rice-wheat pattern. Therefore the present staple food consumption pattern of Korea may be defined as a mixture of grain and flour consumption.

It is quite natural that the preference of food should be changed by the effect of the social environments and economic conditions of each period, however, the Korean traditional food has been enrooted firmly as one of the fundamental elements in our life which has been formed in harmony with the natural surroundings and the human life patterns in Korea. As a result of my study on Korean food through various documents and papers which were published in the part from Yi Dynasty till now, about 4,000 items were collected. This paper is prepared to report some of those items with a brief summary.
