This study investigated the Sachanbalgi, which record the royal feasts given by the royal family of the Joseon Dynasty of Korea. These records are contained within the Gungjung Balgi, which recorded the types and quantity of items used in royal court ceremonies. The Eumsikbalgi is the general name for the records of food found within this document. Using these Eumsikbalgi, and in particular the Sachanbalgi, this study investigated the food eaten and bestowed by the Joseon royal family. The Sachanbalgi describes four categories or occasions of feasts: royal birthdays, childbirth, royal weddings, and funerals. These records allow us to reconstruct who the attendees were and what the table settings and food were for instances not directly indicated in oral records, books, or other documents. The food at these Sachan (feasts) was diverse, being related to the specific event, and its contents varied based on the position of the person who was receiving the food. Usually, Bab (rice) was not found at a Sachanbalgi, and only on two occasions were meals with Bab observed. Specifically, it was served with Gwaktang (seaweed soup) at a childbirth feast. There were seven kinds of soups and stews that appeared in the Sachanbalgi: Gwaktang, Yeonpo (octopus soup), Japtang (mixed food stew), Chogyetang (chilled chicken soup), Sinseonro (royal hot pot), and Yukjang (beef and soybean paste). Nureumjeok (grilled brochette) and Saengchijeok (pheasant), and Ganjeonyueo (pan-fried cow liver fillet) and Saengseonjeonyueo (pan-fried fish fillet) were eaten. Yangjeonyueo, Haejeon, Tigakjeon (pan-fried kelp) and other dishes, known and unknown, were also recorded. Boiled meat slices appeared at high frequency (40 times) in the records; likewise, 22 kinds of rice cake and traditional sweets were frequently served at feasts. Five kinds of non-alcoholic beverages were provided. Seasonal fruits and nuts, such as fresh pear or fresh chestnut, are thought to have been served following the event. In addition, a variety of dishes including salted dry fish, boiled dish, kimchi, fruit preserved in honey, seasoned vegetables, mustard seeds, fish, porridge, fillet, steamed dishes, stir-fried dishes, vegetable wraps, fruit preserved in sugar, and jellied foods were given to guests, and noodles appear 16 times in the records. Courtiers were given Banhap, Tanghap, Myeonhap, wooden bowls, or lunchboxes. The types of food provided at royal events tracked the season. In addition, considering that for feasts food of the royal household was set out for receptions of guests, cooking instructions for the food in the lunchbox-type feasts followed the cooking instructions used in the royal kitchen at the given time. Previous studies on royal cuisine have dealt mostly with the Jineosang presented to the king, but in the Sachanbalgi, the food given by the royal family to its relatives, retainers, and attendants is recorded. The study of this document is important because it extends the knowledge regarding the food of the royal families of the Joseon Dynasty. The analysis of Sachanbalgi and the results of empirical research conducted to reconstruct the precise nature of that food will improve modern knowledge of royal cuisine.

This study was designed to develop and to qualify a coffee alternative beverage using a mixture of coffee beans and roasted black beans (Rhynchosia nulubilis). Therefore, the total isoflavone content (TIC), total phenol content (TPC), antioxidant activity, anti-inflammatory activity, NFATc1 (Nuclear factor of activated T-cells c1) expression in RANKL (receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand)-stimulated RAW264.7 cells and sensory evaluation were measured for 5 different Cb (coffee bean)-RoS (roasted seomoktae) mixture extracts (Cb100RoS0, Cb75RoS25, Cb50RoS50, Cb25RoS75, and Cb0RoS100). Cb0RoS100 had the highest TIC (516.83±36.61 mg/100 g) and TPC (18.11±1.77 mg TAE/100 g) along with the highest antioxidant activity as measured by DPPH radical scavenging activity (73.55±8.11%) and ABTS radical scavenging activity (63.27±7.27%). Also, Cb0RoS100 showed the highest anti-inflammatory activity as measured by NO production (13.57±2.21 μM) and PGE2 production (3.25±0.21 ng/mL). The more the RoS ratio was increased in the mixtures of Cb-RoS, the more the NFATc1 protein expression was decreased in RANKL-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. In case of sensory evaluation, Cb50RoS50 had the highest scores for flavor, delicate flavor and overall quality, which were similar to those in Cb alone (Cb100RoS0). We suggest that the use of RoS replacement instead of Cb in/as a coffee alternative beverage may help to reduce the risk of caffeine-related bone loss and/or bone disease by effectively blocking NFATc1 expression in RANKLstimulated RAW264.7 cells compared with Cb alone.

The purpose of this study was to develop an efficient method for Korean food to make inroads into Paraguay. In-depth interviews with 15 Korean restaurant owners in Asuncion, Paraguay and foodies (food experts) who had experiences with Korean food were conducted. The results are as follows: Paraguay wants to establish economic ties with Korea currently, and economic development is ongoing in Paraguay. The food service industry for the middle class in Paraguay is now in the development stage. There are not many Korean restaurants (currently 15) in Asuncion. First and second generation Korean immigrants are operating these restaurants. It is necessary to provide support for a comprehensive food culture system by developing a menu composition system to meet local tastes, a strategy for improving distribution of Korean food materials, and a plan for sanitary management and operations.

2010년부터 2012년까지 충북지역 시장, 대형마트 등에서 유통되고 있는 학교급식에 공급되고 있는 근대, 들깻잎, 부 추, 시금치, 쑥갓, 아욱, 얼갈이배추를 대상으로 GC/ECD와 GC/MSD를 사용하여 205종의 농약에 대하여 잔류 검사를 하 였다. 그 결과, 농약성분은 시금치 23.4%, 얼갈이배추 20.6%, 근대 14.9%, 아욱 14.0%, 들깻잎 13.1%, 부추 8.4%, 쑥갓 5.6% 순으로 검출되었으며, 이중 잔류허용기준을 초과한 것은 시 금치, 근대, 부추, 들깻잎, 아욱 순으로 양이 많았다. 쑥갓과 얼갈이배추는 대부분의 농약이 잔류허용기준 이하였다. 잔류 허용기준을 초과한 농약은 chlorpyrifos, cypermethrin, diflubenzuron endosulfan, flufenoxuron, etoxazole lufenuron, carbendazim, trifloxystrobin, pencycuron, procymidone 11종으로 초과 농산 물은 부추, 시금치, 들깻잎, 근대, 아욱이었다. 검출된 농약과 그 검출량을 토대로 1일 섭취허용량을 산출하여 식품을 통해 매일 섭취되는 농약이 인간에게 미치는 위해도를 평가한 결 과, ADI 대비 최저 0.00084%에서 최고 50.8200로 낮은 %ADI 값을 보였고, 7품목에 대한 농산물 섭취에 위한 위해성은 낮 은 것으로 판단되었다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때 현재 우리나라 학교급식 식재료 채소의 잔류농약의 위해성은 문제가 없는 것으로 판단된다. 현재 잔류농약에 대한 규제는 강화되고 있 으므로 안전성에 대한 소비자의 불안감은 줄어들 것으로 보 이지만 학교급식에서 다빈도로 사용되고 있으므로 계속 모 니터링이 필요할 것으로 보인다.

On the basis of the cookbooks and Data Base of the Korean Classics(http://db.itkc.or.kr/itkcdb/mainIndexIframe.jsp), this paper analyzed the fermented soybean listed in the general documents of the Chosun Dynasty(1392～1897) and the Goryeo Dynasty(918～1392). In the Goryeo Dynasty, there are 15 kinds of Jang(soybean paste or solution), among which are Jang (soybean paste fermented by mold)(6 documents), Yeomgjang, Yeomshi(2), and Gaejang(1). However, the cookbook at that time is defunct. The Goryeo Court relieved the famine-stricken people by proving them with Jang. In the Chosun Dynasty, 111 kinds of Jang were listed in the general documents, and 153 kinds in cookbooks. There were 55 kinds of general Jang, such as Jang(204), Yeomjang(63), Chojang, Goojang(7), and Gaejang(6), are listed in the general documents, and in the cookbooks, there are 55 kinds of Jang, such as Sookwhangjang(9 cookbooks), Daemaekjang(8), Myeonjang(8), Saengwhangjang (8), and Yooinjang(8), and among them, 13 kinds belong to the Chinese origin. A total of 9 Kinds of Ganjang(soybean solution fermented by mold), such as Soojang(30), Cheongjang(23), Gamjang(8), and Ganjang(3) are found in the general documents. In the cookbooks, 12 kinds of Jang, as Cheongjang(10), Cheonrijang(4), Ganjang(3), and etc., are listed. There were 9 kinds of Gochoojang(red pepper-soybean paste), such as Chojang(12), Gochojang(3), and etc., are listed in the general documents, and 9 kinds as Gochojang(7), Manchojang(7), rapid Manchojang(4), and etc., are in the cookbooks. In addition, 16 Kinds of Yookjang(fermented soybean-meat paste) as Haejang(15), Hyejang(11), Yookjang(11), and etc., are found in the documents, and 22 kinds as Nanjang(9), Gejang(6), Yookjang(5), Shoigogijang(4), and etc., are in the cookbooks. Eighteen Kinds of Shi(soybean paste fermented by bacteria) as Yeomshi(40), Shi(35), Shijang(6), and etc., are recorded in the documents, and 19 kinds as Jeonkookjang(6), Shi(4), Sooshijang(4), and etc., are in the cookbooks, and among them 11 kinds belong to the Chinese origin. Six kinds of Jipjang(aqueous soybean paste) as Jipjang(7), Uoopjang(4), Pojang (2), Jangzoop(2) are recorded in the documents, and 15 kinds as Jipjang(9), Zoopjeo(7), and Hajeoljipjang(5) are in the cookbooks. Soybean paste, or solution for relieving hunger is not recorded in the documents. However, the Chosun court, for the purpose of relieving famine-stricken people, used general Jang. Such 21 Jang to relieve the famine-stricken people as Pojang(7), rapid Jang(6), and Sasamgilgyeongjang(4) are listed in the cookbook. Geonjang(dried soybean paste), Nanjang (egg-soybean paste), Doojang(soybean paste), Maljang(random soybean paste), Myeonjang(wheate-soybean paste), Sodoojang (red bean-soybean paste), Yookjang(soybean-meat paste) and Jang(soybean paste) are recorded in the documents, as well as in the cookbooks. Chinese-original Jang and Shi are recorded in the cookbooks, with no list in the general documents. Therefore, it seems that it didn't pass down to the general public.

Bacillus sp. GS가 생산하는 xylanase를 DEAE-Sephadex A-50 ion chromatography DEAE-Sephadex G-100 gel filtration을 통하여 정제한 후 그 특성을 조사 하였다. 최적 반응 온도와 pH는 각각 40℃, 6.5이었으며 50℃ 이하에서는 안정하였으나 그 이상이 되면 급격히 불활성화 되는 것으로 보아 열 안정성은 좋지 않음을 알 수 있었다. pH 안정성을 조사한 결과 pH 5.5에서 8.0까지는 안정하였고, 금속이온에 의한 영향을 살펴본 결과 Co^++, Cu^++에 의하여 효소의 활성이 현저히 증가함을 알 수 있었고, Hg^+에 의해서는 거의 완전히 효소의 활성이 저해됨을 알 수 있었다. 분리된 효소는 birchwood xylan을 기질로 하여 분해 산물을 분석한 결과 xylobiose가 주성분인 xylooligosaccharide를 생산하는 endo형의 효소임을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 본 효소는 xylan으로부터 bifidogenic factor인xylooligosaccharide를 생산하기에 적당한 효소라고 생각된다.

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.

In order to study the extraction mechanism of barley tea, some factors affecting extraction and physical properties of roasted barley and extract were examined. The main results of this study are as follows : 1. The roasted barley particles used as the raw materials were amorphous. Under the extraction condition used the average swelling ratio of the particles and imbibed volume were 1.39 and 1.65㎖/g respectively. The maximum soluble solid content in the roasted barley was 67.07%. 2. The concentrations of the barley extracts were determined by measuring their optical densitis at 420㎚ and the relationship between the concentration(C) and optical density(O. D. ) was expressed as : C = 6.178×O. D. As shown in the following relationship, the viscosities (μ: Ns/㎡) of barley extracts were influenced by concentration(C : ㎏/㎥) and temperature(T : ℃ ). μ=5.6731×10 exp (-4) e^(2.7×10 exp (-3)×C) μ=3.577×10 exp (-3) e^(-3.02×10 exp (-2)×T)
