This study aim to evaluate dietary quality and nutritional status according to the consumption of health functional food using Nutrition Quotient for Korean elderly (NQ-E) for 288 elderly people attending senior welfare centers in Gyeonggi-do. The questionnaire consisted of items about general information, health functional food, and Nutrition Quotient for Korean elderly (NQ-E). Chi-squared test, Fisher's exact tests, and Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) were performed using the SAS program ver. 9.4. Among the male and female subjects, the female subjects consumed more health functional food. The results of the dietary quality and nutritional status difference according to the intake of health functional food showed significant differences only in the areas of variety and abstinence among nutrition quotient factors for men, while no significant differences were observed in any of the nutrition quotient factors for women. In conclusion, focused-nutrition education program and useful guideline is needed for promoting adequate consumption of health functional foods in elderly.

This study aimed to assess the nutritional quality of breakfast among Korean school-aged children and adolescents depending on eating together as a family, based on the 2013-2014 Korea National Health and Nutrition Survey. One day 24-hour recall data of 1,831 children and adolescents aged from 6 to 17 years were collected. The nutritional quality of breakfast was analyzed and compared between Family Breakfast Group (FBG, n=1,410) and Eating-alone Breakfast Group (EBG, n=421). The results showed that age, family structure, number of family members, and frequency of breakfast were associated with eating breakfast as a family. The calorie intake from breakfast explained 19% and 16% of the daily intake for FBG and EBG, respectively. The percentages of children and adolescents consuming Vitamin A, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin C, Niacin, and Iron less than 1/4 of the Estimated Average Requirements were significantly lower in FBG than in EBG. The average numbers of serving for “Grains” and “Vegetables” food groups and the average Dietary Diversity Score were significantly higher in FBG than in EBG. Overall, the results indicated that eating breakfast as a family is positively associated with nutritional quality of breakfast among Korean school-aged children and adolescents.

본 연구는 노인의 우울, 영양상태 및 인지기능이 삶의 만족도에 미치는 영향을 파악하여 변수들 간의 관계와 효과를 규명하는 위해 이루어졌다. 자료는 한국보건사회연구원에서 시행한 2017년도 노인실태조사 자료를 사용하여 2차 자료분석을 실시하였다. 65세 이상의 노인 9089명을 대상으로 경로모형을 만들고 상관분석 및 경로분석을 통해 가설을 검증하였다. 그 결과, 우울, 영양상태, 인지기능 및 삶의 만족도는 모두 유의한 상관관계를 보였다. 영양상태에 영향을 주는 요소로서 우울(.46, p=.007)의 효과 크기가 유의하였으며 인지기능에 대해서도 우울(-.27, p=.014)의 효과 크기가 유의하였다. 영양상태(.08, p=.009)와 인지기능(-.03, p=.010)은 모두 삶의 만족도에 유의한 효과를 보였는데, 우울(.50, p=.012)은 영양상태와 인지기능을 매개로 하여 삶의 만족도에 영향을 주었다. 따라서 노인의 삶의 만족도를 증진시키기 위해서는 우울에 대한 중재 뿐 아니라 영양상태와 인지기능에 대한 간호 중재가 필요하다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate dietary behavior and nutritional knowledge related to sodium intake in high school students. A questionnaire survey was conducted in 400 high school students (200 boys) in Incheon, Korea. Survey data were analyzed according to gender and degree of obesity. The distribution of the degree of obesity was the highest in 231 normal weight individuals (57.8%), followed by 89 underweight (22.3%), 41 overweight (10.3%), and 39 obese (9.8%). The sodium-related undesirable dietary behavior score was 2.9 points out of 5 points. The detailed dietary behavior scores of ‘I eat kimchi when I eat instant noodles or noodles’ and ‘I like dried fish with salt’ were significantly higher in boys than in girls (p<0.05). It was found that boys consumed more frequently high sodium foods, such as pizza, hamburger, and hotdog than girls. According to the degree of obesity, the underweight group consumed more kimchi fried rice and potato chips frequently than the other groups (p<0.05). Preference for salty taste was not significantly different among the groups by gender and degree of obesity. Sodium-related nutritional knowledge score was 5.3 points out of 10 and which was significantly higher in girls or normal weight group than in boys or obesity group. These results suggest that nutritional education on sodium intake is needed because the nutritional knowledge of adolescents is relatively low. Moreover, intensive nutritional guidance is required, especially in boys or adolescents with undesirable degree of obesity.

The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate a nutrition education program that was designed to increase the knowledge, attitudes, and skills of Korean adults regarding nutrition labeling. The education program was 45 minutes of short-term training, which was conducted in the form of lectures and exercises. The contents of the program were as follows: in the introduction stage, talking about status and reasons for checking nutrition labels; in the development stage, explanation of nutrition labeling and their content, reading, and identifying sample nutrition labels, as well as comparing nutrition labels and selecting better foods; in the closing stage, summary of nutrition labeling and a pledge to check nutrition labels when purchasing processed food. A total of 53 adults (88.5% female) aged 30 years and over participated in this study. The nutrition labeling awareness of the subjects was increased significantly from 55.8 to 96.2% after the education. After the education, the correct recognition rate of a nutrition label was increased significantly from 26.9 to 78.8% for the amount of food, from 25.0 to 73.1% for the calorie content, from 36.5 to 69.2% for the nutrient contents, and from 30.8 to 82.7% for the percent daily value. The self-efficacy of checking nutrition labels was also increased significantly compared to that before the education. The overall satisfaction score of the nutrition education program was 4.2 out of 5. The outcome showed that the nutrition education program of nutrition labeling improved the participants’ awareness and self-efficacy towards checking nutrition labels.

In this study, the nutritional components (moisture, fat, protein, ash) value of military hardtack was collected and analyzed to control the mixing ratio of rice and flour. Hardtack from 4 factories was analyzed by 3 testing organizations certified by the Korean Ministry Food and Drug Safety. In addition, the accuracy and collaborative study possibility of each organization were evaluated in Q-test and HorRat. Also, other hardtack groups with different mixing ratios were compared to quality control of hardtack by I-MR charts. As a result, the HorRat and Q-test values of test organizations were 0.5-6.2 and 0.08-0.91, respectively. The quality of hardtack by the factories was similar. However, for accurate management of the mixing ratio, suggesting both upper and lower limit requirements of the nutritional components is necessary.

곰팡이독소는 곰팡이의 2차 대사산물로 동물용 원료사료 중에서 특히 곡물 및 곡물부산물에서 가장 흔하게 발생한다. 돼지는 곰팡이독소에 대한 감수성이 다른 동물에 비해 높은 것으로 알려져 있다. 아플라톡신, 디옥시니발레놀 및 제랄레논은 동물용 원료사료에서 가장 흔하게 발생하는 곰팡이독소이며, 국내‧외에서 허용기준을 설정하여 관리하고 있다. 곰팡이독소는 종류에 따라 서로 다른 독성작용을 가지지만 모두 면역체계를 표적으로 하며, 최종적으로 돼지의 성장저하를 초래한다. 따라서 곰팡이독소에 의한 피해를 최소화하기 위한 다양한 대책이 필요하다. 일반적으로 곰팡이독소에 오염된 사료를 섭취한 돼지는 사료섭취량이 감소하며, 그 결과 증체량 저하가 발생한다. 사료섭취량 감소로 인한 필수영양소의 불충분한 공급은 영양소함량을 강화시킨 사료를 급여함으로써 증체량 감소를 최소화할 수 있다. 또한 곰팡이독소 저감제를 이용하여 곰팡이독소에 의한 피해를 저감시킬 수 있으나, 곰팡이독소의 종류 및 농도, 환경적 요인, 저감제의 종류 등에 따라 저감제 사용 효과에 대한 변이가 존재한다.

본 연구는 색소 1호 포엽과 속대 추출물의 영양성분을 분석하고 항산화 및 항당뇨 활성을 검정하여 향후 기능성 식품으로서의 활용을 위한 기초자료로 제공하고자 수행되었다. 색소 1호 포엽과 속대 추출물의 일반성분 분석결과, 수분, 조회분, 조지방, 조단백질은 각각 6.90%, 7.31%, 0.52%, 7.07%이었다. 색소 1호 포엽 및 속대 혼합추출물의 지방산은 palmitic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid인 것으로 나타났으며 불포화 지방산의 비율은 83.33%이었다. 색소 1호 포엽 및 속대 혼합추출물의 구성 아미노산 함량을 분석한 결과 glutamic acid, aspartic acid 등을 포함한 총 17종의 아미노산이 검출되었으며 이중 glutamic acid의 함량이 736.08 mg / 100 g으로 가장 높았다. 색소 1호 포엽 및 속대 추출물의 DPPH 및 ABTS radical 소거활성은 각각 95.62% (1,000 μg/mL), 92.00% (10,000 μg/mL)이었으며 총 폴리페놀 및 플라보노이드 함량은 각각 99.87 mg/g, 25.02 mg/g이었다. 색소 1호 포엽 및 속대 추출물의 α-amylase 및 α-glucosidase 저해활성은 추출물 10 mg/mL의 처리농도에서 각각 95.86%, 76.92% 인 것으로 나타났다.

블루베리의 재배면적은 증가추세이고 재배특성상 피트모스에서 잘 자라며 관목인 점을 고려하여 용기재배를 많이 하고 있다. 또한 안정적으로 생산할 수 있는 재배기술 개발이 요구되고 있다. 본 시험에서는 블루베리 양액재배시 양액조성이 수체생육과 과실품질에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 수행하였다. 시험방법은 3년생 ‘듀크’ 품종을 대상으로 피트모스와 펄라이트의 용량을 각각 130L, 40L(v/v)로 하여 용기(60×80×40cm)에 식재하고 톱밥으로 멀칭한 후 2015년과 2016년에 3종의 조성이 다른 용액을 4월 중순부터 7월 하순까지 공급하여 수체생육 및 과실품질을 조사하였다. 처리내용은 무시비구, 조성액 1(표준액), 조성액 2(표준액보다 10%질소 감소), 조성액 3(표준액보다 20%질소 감소)을 처리하였다. 블루베리의 생육을 보면, 신초경은 표준액 처리가 3.7mm로 가장 컸으며, 신초장 또한 35.7cm로 가장 길었다. 신초수는 표준액 처리가 질소를 20% 감소한 처리 대비 47%로 가장 많았다. 질소함량이 많은 처리에서 엽장과 엽폭이 길거나 넓어졌으며, 엽록소 함량도 증가하였다. 처리별 과실특성은 과립중, 고형물 함량, 산함량 등은 처리간 큰 차이가 없었으며, 수량은 질소를 10% 감소한 처리가 주당 2.9kg으로 가장 많았고, 표준액 처리가 2.2kg, 질소를 20% 감소한 처리가 2.7kg였다. 이는 질소 함량이 가장 많은 표준액 처리가 신초가 가장 많이 발생하여 영양생장은 왕성했으나 꽃눈 착생은 감소해 수량이 오히려 감소한 것으로 판단되었다. 따라서 블루베리 양액재배시 생육은 질소비율이 중간정도에서 가장 좋았으며, 과실의 수량과 크기에서도 저농도나 중간농도가 고농도에 비하여 우수하였다.

고추 유래 유전자(CaMsrB2-23)를 도입하여 내건성을 갖도록 형질전환된 가뭄저항성벼(Agb0103)에 대한 식품안전성 평가를 위해 가뭄저항성벼 종실(현미)의 일반성분, 지방산, 아미노산, 무기질, 비타민 함량 등 영양성분과 항영양소를 분석하였다. 벼는 수원과 군위 2개 지역에서 2013년에 재배하였으며, 가뭄저항성벼와 일미벼 현미는 조단백질, 조지방, 조회분, 조섬유 등 일반성분 함량에 유의적인 차이가 없었으며 지방산 조성 및 아미노산 함량이 서로 유사하였다. Agb0103과 일미벼 현미의 무기질 함량은 Na 함량에서 차이가 있었으나 Na를 제외하고 모든 무기질 함량이 유사하였으며 OECD 기준 범위 내에 있었다. 대체적으로 수원에서 재배한 벼 현미의 무기질 함량이 약간 높게 나타나 재배지역간의 환경적 차이가 무기질의 함량에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 두 지역에서 재배한 Agb0103과 일미벼 현미의 비타민 함량은 유의적인 차이가 없었으나 비타민 B 함량이 OECD 자료 범위보다 낮게 나타났다. 가뭄저항성벼(Agb0103)의 사료용 평가를 위해 지상부(유숙기 잎줄기와 볏짚)에 대한 영양성분을 분석한 결과 조단백질, 조지방, 조회분, 조섬유, ADF, NDF, Ca, P의 함량에서 Agb0103과 모품종벼 간의 차이는 없는 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해 조사한 가뭄저항성벼(Agb0103)는 모품종 대비 종실의 주요 영양성분과 항영양소 뿐만 아니라 벼 지상부의 성분분석 비교 결과 실질적 동등성을 확인 할 수 있었다.

DC) 종자의 영양학적 특성을 평가하기위해 일반성분, 조섬유, 환원당, 유리당, 유기산, 무기질 및 아미노산 함량을 분석하였다. 종자의 수분, 조단백질, 조지방, 조회분, 탄수화물 함량은 각각 6.97, 26.05, 27.46, 3.78, 35.74%였으며 조섬유 함량은 6.31%, 환원당 함량은 1.54%이었다. 종자에 존재하는 유리당으로는 sucrose가 1,661 mg/100 g, 유기산으로는 lactic acid가 1,224 mg/100 g 으로 가장 풍부하였으며, 인과 칼륨이 주요 무기질로서 700mg/100 g 이상 존재하였다. 종자 100 g에서의 아미노산 조성을 분석한 결과, 글루탐산(3.45 g), 아르기닌(2.51 g), 아스파르트산(1.66 g), 루신(1.29 g), 라이신(1.10 g), 알라닌(1.05 g), 글리신(1.04 g) 순이었으며 그 외의 아미노산은 1 g 이하로 존재하였다.

This study analyzed the general components of rice bread with 75% rice content such as water, crude ash, crude protein, crude fat and carbohydrate, and its nutrients such as vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin E content, minerals, amino acids, and fatty acids. The contents of crude protein were high and those of crude fat were low with the contents of crude ash, crude protein, and crude fat being 1.61, 18.50, 0.04 g/100 g respectively. Vitamin A was not detected and the contents of vitamin C and vitamin E were 3.85 and 3.04 mg/100 g, respectively. The calcium, potassium, magnesium, iron and sodium contents were 222.0, 117.90, 24.12, 2.30, 555.90 mg/100 g respectively. Rice bread contains 9 essential amino acids such as valine, leucine, isoleucine, methionine, threonine, lysine, phenylalanine, histidine, and arginine. The analysis of rice bread fatty acid showed 58.04 mg/100 g of saturated fatty acid, 26.31mg/100 g of monounsaturated fatty acid and 15.64 mg/100 g of polyunsaturated fatty acid. The total essential fatty acid content was 15.49 mg/100 g. With the rising interest in processed rice products, well-being, and diet, it is necessary to develop processed rice foods that are nutritional and low in calories using rice powder that is nutritionally better than flour.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the nutritional knowledge and dietary behaviors of middle school students according to their mother’s employment status. Of all 453 subjects, 52.1% were boys, and 67.5% of the mothers were employed. The total score of nutritional knowledge was 8.0 out of 10 for students with a non-working mom and 7.7 for those with a working mom, showing no significant difference. Among the 20 nutritional knowledge questions, correct answer rates for “lots of fruits may be eaten because of not gaining weight” (72.6% vs. 81.6%, p<0.05) and “eating raw carrots is better than eating fried ones with oil” (34.6% vs. 44.9%, p<0.05) were significantly higher in students with a working mom. The regularity of meals showed a significant difference according to the mother’s employment, indicating that responses of “very regular” (62.4% vs. 72.1%) were high among students with a non-working mom and responses of “skipping breakfast” (31.4% vs. 19.7%) were higher in students with a working mom (p<0.05). The number of snacks a day was also significantly different according to the mother’s employment, showing that 12.8% of the students with a working mom and only 3.4% of them with a non-working mom did not eat snacks at all (p<0.05). These results reveal no significant difference in middle school students’ nutritional knowledge according to their mother’s employment status; however, the students whose mother had a job were more likely to have more undesirable dietary behaviors such as irregular meals and snacking.

This study investigated the nutritional composition of green pepper (Capsicum annuum L. cv. DangZo). Specifically vitamin C, minerals and amino acids content in green peppe were measured. The crude ash, crude protein, and crude fat contents of green pepper were found to be 0.64, 2.10 and 1.20 g/100 g, respectively. The ascorbic acid content in green pepper was 99.34 mg/100 g. The K content was found to be the highest with regard to mineral. This was followed by P, Mg, Na, Ca, Zn, Cu, Mn which means green pepper is an alkali material. The K, P, Mg, Na, Ca, Zn, Cu, Mn contents of green pepper found to be 980, 68.33, 60, 34.14, 30.88, 5.87, 5.25 and 3.07 mg/100 g respectively. The total amino acid content ranged from 7.0 to 1,625.3 mg/100 g, respectively. With regard to amino acid contents, arginine and citrulline were found to be abundant. From the results, green pepper could be suggested as beneficial for food processing.
