Abstract

We survey recognition of nutrition labeling on the processed foods for the college students with distinction of sex and their major. The frequency of purchase that processed food is over the 3-5 times in a week. The man students preferred to have Ramyon, milk and milk products and the woman students' ingested snacks, soft drinks and sugar snacks. For another, the food major students like to have juice, soft drink, milk and milk products. Then again, the non-food major students ingested Ramyon, snacks and sugar snacks. The woman students and food major students show higher recognition of nutrition labeling and confirmation of it. The man student replied reason why to confirm nutrition labeling is to keep their health. But the woman students show interest to confirm nutrition content. The food major students confirm the nutrition labeling to determine the nutrition labels. The non-food major students did not confirm the nutrition labeling because they think it is an involved style. For knowledge of nutrition contents, the woman student and the student majoring food are well informed. But, all of the student show poor knowledge for staple foods, nutrient function and vitamin. As the research results, we suggest that the educated the student nutrition knowledge for nutrition labeling on the products. It helps to improve their dietary life and eating habits. And they can avoid buying of the processed foods by habit without confirmation of the nutrition.

남녀 대학생을 대상으로 성별 및 전공에 따라 식품의 영양성분표시에 대한 인지도를 조사하였다. 가공식품의 구매빈도는 주 3-5회 이상 구매하였으며 남학생은 라면, 우유 및 유가공품의 섭취빈도가 높고 여학생은 과자류, 탄산음료 및 당류의 섭취빈도가 높았다. 식품전공은 주스와 탄산음료, 우유 및 유제품의 섭취가 높고 비식품전공은 라면과 과자류, 당류의 섭취가 높았다. 가공식품 구매 시 중요하게 여기는 요인은 성별 및 전공에 관계없이 모두"맛"이었으며 영양표시에 대한 인지도와 확인율이 높은 쪽은 여학생과 식품전공학생이었다. 남학생은 건강을 위하여 영양표시를 확인하고 여학생은 영양소 함량 확인을 위해 영양표시를 확인하였다. 또한 식품전공은 영양소 함량 확인을 위해 영양표시를 확인하였으며 식품비전공은 영양표시가 복잡해서 영양표시를 확인하지 않았다. 영양성분에 대한 지식은 여학생과 식품전공이 높았으며 전체적으로 식품군, 영양소의 기능 및 비타민에 대한 지식점수는 낮았다. 본 연구 결과, 습관적으로 가공식품을 구매하는 태도에서 벗어나 영양표시를 확인하고 구입하여 영양에 대한 관심을 식생활에 응용하고 영양지식을 함양 할 수 있도록 대학생을 위한 영양교육이 요구된다.
