The consumption of high-salt foods is an independent risk factor for increased hypertension. Thus, evaluating the relationship of taste sensitivity and pleasantness of high-salt foods such as Korean jang products, would help contribute to an understanding of salty food eating behaviors of the Korean rural elderly. This study aimed to verify the association between taste sensitivity and salinity of Korean jang products, and the preferences of food groups and nutrient intake in the rural elderly. We studied 269 elderly persons (males 83, females 186) aged above 65 years, residing in the rural area, Sunchang gun Jeonbuk. For each subject, a recognition threshold of 4 basic tastes and pleasant concentrations of NaCl were estimated using the sip- and–spit method. Taste preferences, frequency of intake of food groups, nutrient intakes, and salinity and sweetness of Korean jang products (Doenjang, Ganjang, Gochujang) were assessed. No association was found between salt taste recognition threshold and optimally preferred concentration of salt and salinity of Korean jang products. However, the sweet taste recognition threshold was positively related to the sweetness of Korean jang products. Also, the salinity of Doenjang positively correlated with the frequencies of food groups and nutrient intakes. That is to say that the sweet taste sensitivity was related to the sweetness of Korean jang products, but was not sensitive to the salty taste. The salinity of Doenjang correlated with the consumption of food and nutrient intakes. Taken together, these findings suggest the need for appropriate intervention and education to reduce the salinity of Doenjang, which is an important modifiable factor contributing to reducing sodium intake in the rural elderly.

Stress has been associated with poor eating behavior and diet quality. Yet, the relationship between nutrient and food intake and perceived stress in Korean female adults has not been validated. The purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between nutrient and food intake and perceived stress in Korean female adults. This is a cross-sectional study based on the 2014-2015 Korean National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey data. This study investigated 2,010 female adults age 19~64. In this study, according to subjects' perceived stress, we classified subjects into very low-stress recognition group (VLSRG) (n=211), low-stress recognition group (VSRG) (n=1,223), high-stress recognition group (HSRG) (n=488) and very high-stress recognition group (VHSRG) (n=88). Daily nutrients and food group intake, food groups consumed (Dietary Diversity Score, DDS) were analyzed using data from the 24-recall method. The VHSRG had a larger proportion of subjects that were younger (p<0.0001), single (p<0.0001) and smokers (p<0.0001) compared to the VLSRG. Energy and food intake did not differ between the four groups. Percentage of subjects with protein (p=0.0322), vitamin A (p=0.0364) and vitamin C (p=0.0115) intake lower than the EAR (estimated average requirement) in the VHSRG were significantly lowest in the four groups. Also, food intake percentage from fruits and seaweed groups in the VHSRG were lower than other groups (p=0.0034, p=0.0015). DDS in the VHSRG (3.87) was significantly lowest in the four groups (p=0.0022). Results suggest that perceived stress in Korean female adults may by significant to consider in nutritional education programs.

식품용 금속 캔의 내면 코팅에 사용되는 에폭시 수지로 부터 용출되어 식품으로 이행될 수 있는 BPA, phenol, ptert- butylphenol과 BADGE, BFDGE 및 그 가수분해산물과 염화물 등 총 9종의 비스페놀 관련물질들을 HPLC/FLD 를 사용하여 동시 분석하는 방법을 확립하여 검량선 및 회 수율을 검토하고 식품유사용매로의 이행량을 조사하였다. 23종류의 식품용 금속 캔 총 161건을 대상으로 60oC에서 30분간 용출한 결과물, 4% 초산, 50% 에탄올 및 n-heptane 에서 전부 불검출이었다. 95oC에서 30분간 용출한 결과는 식품유사용매로 4% 초산과 50% 에탄올을 사용한 경우 BPA는 불검출~10.77 μg/L, phenol은 불검출~2.35 μg/L 검출되어 정량한계 수준이었으며, 국내 용출규격인 600 μg/ L에 비해 매우 낮은 수준임을 확인하였다. 또한 금속 캔은 저장성이 우수하여 식품을 장기간 보관하는 특징이 있어 보관기간(0~90일) 및 온도조건(4, 25, 60oC)에 따른 BPA 등 9개의 BPA 관련물질들의 이행량의 변화를 측정하였다. 온도조건이 4oC 및 25oC인 경우 90일 동안 모든 식품유 사용매에서 BPA를 비롯하여 9종의 BPA 관련물질들은 검 출되지 않았다. 식품유사용매로 물과 4% 초산을 사용하여 60oC의 온도에서 90일간 저장한 경우 BPA와 BADGE·2H2O 는 시간이 지남에 따라 약하게 증가하는 경향을 보였으나, 이행량이 70일 이후부터 급격한 증가 없이 대체로 유지되는 수준이었고, 검출값 또한 정량한계 수준으로 매우 낮 게 나타났다. 따라서 식품용 금속 캔으로부터 BPA를 비롯한 관련 물질들의 이행량은 안전한 수준으로 관리되고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구는 국내 미지정 피막제인 산화형 폴리에틸렌 왁스를 분석하기 위해 다양한 분석방법을 비교, 검토하였으 며, 확립된 최적 분석법을 이용하여 시중 유통되는 과일 및 견과류에서 산화형 폴리에틸렌 왁스의 사용여부를 모니터링 하였다. 최적 분석법을 확립하기 위하여 산가, HT-GPC, MALDI-TOF/MS, GC-FID, FT-IR 등을 비교하였다. 산가 측정 결과 산화형 폴리에틸렌 왁스를 첨가한 시료와 첨가 하지 않은 시료 모두 산가가 1.12 mg KOH/g로 산가의 변화가 나타나지 않아 산가를 이용한 식품 중 산화형 폴리에틸렌 왁스의 분석은 어려울 것으로 판단되었으며, HTGPC분석은 표준물질의 분산도 값이 약 3.4로 확인되었으 며, GPC를 이용한 분석은 실험실간 낮은 재현성과 컬럼 등 분석조건에 따른 결과 값이 달라질 수 있기 때문에 분자량의 분산도만으로 식품 중 산화형 폴리에틸렌 왁스의 분석은 어려울 것으로 판단되었다. MALDI-TOF/MS 분석 은 700~2,000 m/z에 peak가 관찰되었지만, 산화형 폴리에 틸렌 왁스 성적서에 적혀있는 분자량 범위인 2,700~2,800 m/ z와 큰 차이를 보여, MALDI-TOF/MS를 이용한 분석 역시 어려울 것으로 판단되었다. GC-FID를 이용한 지방산 분석 결과 산화형 폴리에틸렌 왁스 표준물질에서 과일 및 견과류에서 흔히 볼 수 없는 지방산인 C11:0, C15:1 지방산이 검출되었지만, 제외국 허용기준으로 첨가하여 분석하였을 때 관찰되지 않고, 고농도를 첨가할 경우에만 피크가 관찰되어 GC-FID를 이용한 분석은 어려울 것으로 판단되었다. FT-IR 분석결과 코팅된 견과류 시료와 코팅되지 않은 견과류 시료를 비교하였을 때 코팅된 시료에서 산화형 폴 리에틸렌 왁스 표준물질의 spectrum과 일치하는 spectrum 을 나타내어, 식품 중 산화형 폴리에틸렌 왁스의 분석은 FT-IR로 분석이 가능함을 확인하였다. 확립된 FT-IR 분석 법을 이용하여 국내외 대형마트에서 구입한 111건의 과일 및 견과류를 분석한 결과 산화형 폴리에틸렌 왁스를 사용한 시료가 없음을 확인하였다.

This purpose of this study was to investigate cooking characteristics of noodles prepared by adding 0, 2, 4 or 6 percent of Capsosiphon fulvescens to wheat flour containing konjac powder. Water binding capacity was significantly increased with increasing amounts of Capsosiphon fulvescens. Weight and volume of cooked noodles increased significantly in proportion with the amount of Capsosiphon fulvescens. Turbidity of the soup after cooking also increased with the addition of Capsosiphon fulvescens. Brightness(L) and redness(a) were decreased with addition of Capsosiphon fulvescens. Yellowness( b) increased. The color value of cooked noodles was decreased compared with that of wet noodles. Sensory evaluation scores revealed that cooked noodles with 4 percent addition group were highest in terms of color, flavor and overall acceptability. This study validates that addition of Amorphophallus konjac and 4 percent Capsosiphon fulvescens may improve functionality and preference of noodles.

This study investigated the nutritional compositions and physiochemical properties of three domestically cultivated jujube fruits (Boeun, Sangwhang, and Bokjo). Nutrient contents were analyzed by freeze-drying the jujube fruits. The results showed that the proximate compositions of the three jujube cultivars ranged from 7.85~13.52% for moisture, 4.65~5.24% for crude protein, 1.29~2.38% for crude ash, 0.17~1.09% for crude lipid, and 7.66~16.63% for crude fiber. The above proximate contents of jujube cultivars were significantly different. Mineral contents of Al, Fe, Mg, Ca, Na, and K in the three jujube fruits were also determined. Mn, Cu and Zn were not detected in any of the varieties. The content of Al was higher in Sangwhang, while Boeun had higher contents of Ca and K. The total polyphenol, ABTS values, and hypoglycemic effect were slightly higher in Boeun as compared to the other varieties. Taken together, Boeun could be an important source of natural antioxidant as a functional food.

Excessive body weight gain during the growth period of early life may predispose individuals towards obesity and metabolic disorder in later life. We investigated the possibility of using the food efficiency ratio as an early indicator for predicting susceptibility to diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance. Four-week-old, prepubertal, male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into obesity-prone and obesity-resistant groups based on food efficiency ratio values after five days on a high-fat diet. Metabolic parameters measured after 2, 6, and 10 weeks, and specific phenotypes were compared with each group. Obesityprone rats had higher increases in body weight and fat mass compared to obesity-resistant rats over the study period. Obesity-prone rats became glucose intolerant early in this study and remained so throughout the experimental period, with increases in fat weight and leptin levels occurring first, followed by increases in insulin level. Gluconeogenesis and insulin resistance significantly increased in obesity-prone groups in which activities of glucose-6-phosphatase and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase were increased and glucokinase activity decreased. Higher food efficiency ratio at an early age was closely correlated with body fat accumulation, hyperleptinemia, and hyperinsulinemia of middle and elderly age. We suggest a high food efficiency ratio in prepubertal subjects may be a useful predictor of future obesity and insulin resistance.

To increase the shelf-life of strawberry, samples were treated with two gel packs containing slow-released chlorine dioxide (ClO2) gas at 3~5 ppm for 6 days at room temperature and the changes in the major chemical components (ascorbic acid, polyphenols, flavonoids and anthocyanin) contents and antioxidative activities (DPPH, ABTS radical scavenging and metal chelating activity) were investigated. The content of ascorbic acid of control was 40.38 mg% and contained 35.67~44.75 mg% during 6 days. There was no tendency to increase or decrease during storage period. The contents of ascorbic acid of control and 3~5 ppm ClO2 gas treated samples were not significantly different during storage period. The content of polyphenol compounds of initial stage was 111.23 mg% and contained 117.78~132.40 mg% during 6 days. The contents of polyphenol compounds of 3~5 ppm ClO2 gas treated samples were 103.51~130.25 mg%. There were no significant different between them during storage. The flavonoids and anthocyanin contents were not different from the control during storage period regardless of 3~5 ppm ClO2 gas treatment. Furthermore, antioxidative activities were not different among the control and ClO2 gas treatments during storage.

To investigate the aroma and quality characteristics of wine bestowed by the degree of ripening of Cheongporang grapes, the general quality composition, color, organic acid, physiological activity, aroma component and sensory evaluation were analyzed. The general characteristics of the wine assessed were pH 3.34~3.50, total acidity 0.46~0.67%, color intensity 0.074~0.116, lightness 98.99~99.74, redness －0.39~0.01, and yellowness was 1.52~3.10. Malolactic fermentation was not relative to the contents of malic acid and lactic acid. The total polyphenol content and antioxidant activity were lowest in C3 wines made with ripe grapes and highest in C4 wines made with mixed grapes. Aroma analysis identified 6 alcohols, 15 esters and 5 miscellaneous compounds. Compounds with higher odor activity value (OAV) were 3-methyl-1-butanol, ethyl butanoate, isopentyl acetate, ethyl hexanoate, ethyl octanoate, ethyl decanoate and octanoic acid. The C4 wine, a mixture of grapes with different degrees of ripening, had the highest ester content and ratio. The lowest values were found in the C3 wine made with ripe grapes. Results of the sensory evaluation related the C4 wine, containing a large amount of ester compounds having high OAV values as the aroma component, as the best and most preferred wine.

This study investigated the effects of Goami 2 on the properties of Garaetteok. The moisture, crude protein, crude lipid and crude ash contents of the rice were 16.02, 5.40, 1.87 and 0.77%, respectively. The amylose contents (32.16%) and total dietary fiber contents (9.03%) were the highest in Goami 2. The water binding capacity of Goami 2 (167.84%) was higher than general rice flour. Using a rapid visco analyzer (RVA), the initial pasting temperature of Goami 2 was found to be the highest; also, the peak viscosities of Goami 2 were higher than general rice powder. To assess the effect of Goami 2 on the quality characteristics of Garaetteok, the rice-cake was made by adding various amounts of Goami 2 (0, 10, 20, 30, and 40% w/w) to rice. It was observed that higher the amount of added Goami 2, lower were the grades. In terms of the color values of Goami 2 addition, the L-values of Garaetteok were lower with increasing amount of Goami 2; addition of 40% Goami 2 had the lowest value. The textural properties (hardness) also showed that tteok containing the greater amounts of Goami 2 were considerably harder compared with the control. Sensory preference tests revealed that addition of less Goami 2 had the highest scores for appearance, color and overall acceptability, and the Goami 2 added was lower than control. Therefore, as compared to others cultivars, rice flour proved the most acceptable for the preparation of Garaetteok with cultivar rice.

This study investigated the crude protein and amino acid contents of local agricultural products widely and specifically grown in Korea, including 25 vegetables and 13 fruits. The crude protein content of vegetables and fruits ranged from 0.46 to 6.53% and 0.29 to 2.23%, respectively. Totally, 17 types of amino acids were found in most samples. The total amino acid content of vegetables and fruits ranged from 457.38 to 9,303.18 mg% and 368.82 to 3,118.75 mg%, respectively. The total amino acid contents of garlic and passion fruit was higher compared to other vagetables and fruits. The calibration curves of the standard components showed good linearity (r2>0.99), except Met (r2=0.989). The limits of LOD and LOQ were in the range 0.034 to 0.991 μg/mL and 0.009 to 0.474 μg/mL, respectively. The results of the study can serve as a fundamental source of information regarding crude protein and amino acids contents in food, for diet planning.

This research has attempted to investigate the volatile flavor compounds of onion products through acetic fermentation, and to create a natural beverage with beneficial biological properties which can also fulfill customer quality standards. Onion products (OAF (M): Onion extracts at five days of acetic fermentation, OAF (F): Onion extracts at ten days of acetic fermentation) were produced by acetic fermentation. Volatile flavor compounds from onion extracts, OAF (M) and OAF (F) were used by Mixxor liquid extractions and analyzed by GC/MSD. Compounds of 49, 75 and 69 were identified in onion extracts, OAF(M) and OAF(F) respectively. Among the major volatile flavor compounds classes, sulfur containing compounds (36.7%), acids (31.2%) and aldehydes (13.5%) in onion extracts were changed into acids (69.6%) and alcohols (24.6%) in OAF (M) and acids (80.6%) and alcohols (15.5%) in OAF (F). During acetic fermentation acetic acid, 1,3-butanediol (odorless) and 2,3-butanediol (onion flavor) increased remarkably, sulfur-containing compound such as 2,5-dimethylthiophene having anti-oxidant activities was detected by fermentation.

The purpose of this study was to investigate and analyze the total phenolic content (TPC), antioxidant activities (FRAP, ABTS, and DPPH), and antibacterial properties of lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) extracts. Lotus leaves, stems, and seed pods were extracted with deionized water at 95℃, and with 70.5% ethanol at 85℃. The TPC ranged from 8.12 to 215.12 GAE mg/g. The ethanol extract of the seed pod had the highest TPC, and the TPC of the corresponding deionized water extract was 161.45 mg/g. FRAP values ranged from 104.03 to 3,546.39 TEAC μmol/g, ABTS radical cation scavenging activities ranged from 105.11 to 3,956.94 TEAC μmol/g, and DPPH radical scavenging activities ranged from 37.29 to 2,549.46 TEAC μmol/g. EC50 values ranged from 0.26 to 9.63 mg/mL, and 0.31 to 21.21 mg/mL for ABTS and DPPH, respectively. The ethanol and deionized water extracts of the seed pod showed higher TPC and stronger antioxidant properties (FRAP, ABTS, and DPPH) than those of characteristic of the leaf extracts. The ethanol and deionized water extracts of the seed pod showed antimicrobial activity against Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa with inhibition zones of 9.0 to 14.0 mm, and the ethanol extract of the leaf showed antimicrobial activity against B. subtilis and S. aureus with inhibition zones of 9.0 and 10.0 mm, respectively. Thus, the lotus seed pod could be used to produce novel teas, and could be a potential source of therapeutic ingredients for food and medicine.

This study investigated the needs to improve the quality of foodservice management in community child centers (CCCs), in accordance to the area where the CCC was located. The people in charge of foodservice management of 466 community child centers undertook a web survey, between July to August 2016. Most centers used menus from the Headquarters of Community Child Center (50.0%) or Center for Children’s Foodservice Management (34.1%). Factor analysis and multiple regression analysis were conducted to assess the requirement for improving the quality of foodservice management at the CCCs. Four factors were analyzed: ‘food material and facility management’, ‘administration management’, ‘menu management’, and ‘human resources management’. In large cities, ‘administration management’ and ‘menu management’ were found to affect quality improvement. In small cities, none of the factors assessed were effective in improvement. ‘human resources management’ had a significant influence on improving the quality of the foodservice in rural areas. The results of this study show that there was a difference in the quality improvement of the foodservice management in the centers, with respect to the location of the center. Therefore, this study can be used as basic data to establish the support policy for improving the quality of foodservice management in community child centers.

This research aimed to improve the healthy properties of puffer fish broth, which has been utilized in Korean and Japanese food. Various healthy foods such as garlic, onion, mushroom, and cauliflower were added as ingredients to pufffer fish stock, and the antioxidative activity of each stock was measured by assaying the DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities, reducing power and amount of polyphenol. Shiitake was the most effective in increasing the antioxidative activity of puffer fish stock. The high antioxidative activity of shiitake mushroom seems to be correlated with the amount of polyphenol content in puffer fish broth. The antioxidant activities of puffer fish stock increased proportionally with increasing amount of added shiitake, which in turn was due to the increased amount of total polyphenol in the stock.

This study was conducted to investigate if the supplement formula may improve alcohol metabolism in healthy adult men.In a double-blinded, randomized, crossover study, subjects were administrated yeast extract mixtures (YEM, n=15), Hovenia dulcis mixtures (HDM, n=15), placebo (PLA, n=15), and control (CON, n=15) in an oral dose followed by one week washout periods. At each visit (0, 1, 2, 3, 4 week), subjects drank 450 mL, 20.1 percent alcohol after administered mixtures. Blood was drawn periodically (0, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 15 hours). Fifteen subjects completed the protocol and were included in the analysis. Plasma ethanol concentration was lower in YEM (10 percent) and the HDM (5 percent) groups. The area under the curves (AUC) and Cmax for plasma ethanol were significantly decreased only in the YEM group, when compared with the CON group. The AUC and Cmax for plasma acetaldehyde concentration were significantly decreased in the YEM (45 and 54 percent) and the HDM (35 and 53 percent) groups respectively, when compared with PLA (p<0.01). Together, these findings validate that YEM or HDM improved alcohol metabolism and hangover syndromes, leading to reduce alcohol concentration and acetaldehyde concentration without adverse effects.

After being subjected to different cooking methods, small black beans (Rhynchosia nulubilis) were investigated in order to assess the effects of the retained bioactive compounds. Using uncooked, pan broiled, boiled, steamed, and pressure cooked beans, the inhibitory effects of MCF-7 cell migration were evaluated at protein concentrations of 40, 160, and 640 μm/mL, using the Boyden's chamber assay. All protein concentrations (40, 160, and 640 μm/mL) of pan broiled beans showed significant reduction (59.83, 32.48, and 21.37%, respectively) in the rate of cell migration to the lower chambers (p-value less than 0.001). Estimated cell migration rates correlated to the exponential decay between experimentally measured cell migration rates and converted samples. The range of estimated cell migration rate for each 100 mg/mL of cooked sample was as follows: pan broiled (21.16%), boiled (22.48%), steamed (22.48%), pressure cooked (29.52%), and uncooked (35.03%) beans. Our study indicated that selective modifications of cooking methods for small black beans, such as pan broiling, ameliorated the inhibitory effects of MCF-7 cell migration. This suggests that optimized cooking methods increase the nutritional contents of the cooked food.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of alcohol content in Makgeolli made with Chinese matrimony vine (M-CMV) on the sensory profile and consumer acceptability. The M-CMVs were prepared with 6, 7, 8, and 9% alcohol content. Descriptive analysis of M-CMV was performed with six trained panelists. Thirteen attributes were generated and their intensities were alcohol content dependent. The consumer acceptance test was conducted with 57 consumers. M-CMV samples with 7% alcohol had the highest acceptance rate (5.8) followed by 6% M-CMV (5.6). Commercial rice Makgeolli (CRM) had the lowest consumer acceptance. Consumers were divided into two groups by clustering analysis. The majority of consumers (n=38) preferred M-CMV and did not like the commercial sample. Only 19 consumers indicated high acceptance ratings for CRM. However, these consumers also preferred 6 and 7% M-CMV. Partial least-squares regression analysis revealed moderate attribute intensities were related to greater consumer acceptability. The optimal alcohol content for the greatest consumer acceptance predicted by linear regression was 6.7%.

Contents of water soluble vitamin B6 in a total of 62 agricultural products cultivated in local areas in Korea were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detector (HPLC/FLD). To verify the method of vitamin B6 analysis, a quality control chart was formulated with in-house control using a mixture of broccoli and shiitake mushrooms. Among cereals, high content of vitamin B6 measured 234.3~260.3 μg/100 g in dried mung bean and soybean. Vitamin B6 content of non-glutinous and glutinous black rice measured 105.0 μg/100 g and 129.7 μg/100 g, respectively. In vegetables, high content of vitamin B6 were measured in passion fruit (104.3 μg/100 g), gat (55.7~84.3 μg/100 g), gomchwi (31.3~88.0 μg/100 g) and garlic (72.7~98.3 μg/100 g). Among fruits, gold kiwi 'Zespri' and green kiwi 'Hayward' revealed high vitamin B6 content of 116.3 μg/100 g and 78.7 μg/100 g, respectively. In persimmons, daebongsi had high vitamin B6 content (36.0~72.7 μg/100 g) than bansi and sweet persimmon. Vitamin B6 content in dried jujube and persimmon increased more than 86.7 μg/100 g compared to fresh materials. Among specialty crops, green tea powder (64.7~251.0 μg/100 g) and sansuyu (172.3 μg/100 g) revealed high content. Of mushrooms, vitamin B6 content of Sparassis crispa (139.3 μg/100 g) was the highest. Vitamin B6 content information of agricultural products in local areas in Korea collected from this experiment will be used as valuable preliminary data for grasp national nutritional status.
