본 연구에서 시판 생막걸리의 이화학 성분과 관능적 특성을 살펴보고, 특히 휘발성 성분과 향미 묘사용어와의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 이화학 성분은 우리술 품평회에서 입상한 생막걸리의 알코올, 환원당 함량이 유의적으로 높게 나타났고, 색도가 낮게 나타났다(p<0.05). 또한 휘발성 성분에서 입상한 생막걸리의 ethyl myristate의 함량이 2.4배 낮게 나타났다(p<0.05). 전체 15종 생막걸리의 묘사용어는 총 24개(외관2개, 향 10개, 맛 8개, 질감 4개)의 용어가 개발되었다. 입상주의 관능적 특성은 단내, 배향, 요구르트향, 알코올향, 알코올 향미, 탄산감이 주로 발현되었으며, 구수한 향/향미, 누룩향은 적게 나타났다. 생막걸리에 함유된 휘발성 성분과 묘사 용어 중 향에 관한 항목과의 상관분석 결과, ethyl lactate가 복분자향(r=0.840), 배향(r=0.723)과 높은 양의 상관관계를 보였다(p<0.01). 본 연구에서 도출된 소비자들이 선호하는 이화학 특성과 관능적 특성(단내, 복분자향, 배향, 요구르트향 등)이 생막걸리의 품질특성에 잘 반영된다면 막걸리의 소비 활성화에 기여할 것으로 사료된다.

This study was conducted to investigate the anthropometric data, bone density, serum profiles, nutrient intakes and diet quality of premenopausal and postmenopausal women. For the study, we obtained data for analysis from the combined 2008~2011 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). The height and weight were 157.8 cm and 58.7 kg in premenopausal women and 155.5 cm and 58.3 kg in postmenopausal women, respectively. The obesity rate was 27.49% in premenopausal women and 34.98% in postmenopausal women (p<0.001). Total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, triglyceride, GOT, GPT and alkaline phosphatase in postmenopausal women were significantly higher than those in premenopausal women (p<0.001). The prevalence of osteoporosis was 0.0~0.89% in premenopausal women and 0.48~13.22% in postmenopausal women (p<0.001). In postmenopausal women, rates of hypertension, stroke, myocardial infarction, depression, and diabetes were significantly higher than those in premenopausal women. Water, fat. ash, sodium, retinol, thiamin, riboflavin and niacin intakes in premenopausal women were significantly higher than those in postmenopausal women. Water, fiber, Ca, and, K intakes were below KDRIs (Dietary Reference Intakes for Koreans) in both groups. The mean adequacy ratio (MAR) of premenopausal women was higher than that of postmenopausal women (p<0.001). The index of nutritional quality (INQ) in premenopausal women was also higher than that of postmenopausal women except iron and vitamin C. Therefore dietary guidelines and an education program should be developed for desirable improvement of health, bone density, nutrient status and dietary quality of postmenopausal women.

This study was carried out to develop concentrate of residual jujube flesh around the seed as a thickening agent of Bulgogi sauce. Quality characteristics and sensory test of Bulgogi sauces added with jujube concentrate (30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%) were evaluated in comparison with control sauce containing xanthan gum as a thickening agent. Moisture content of Bulgogi sauce added with 30% jujube concentrate was the highest (74.59%). As content of jujube concentrate increased, moisture contents in Bulgogi sauces significantly decreased. Sugar content of control sauce ($30.82^{\circ}Bx$), was lowest among the sauces. As content of jujube concentrate increased, Sugar content of sauces significantly increased ($33.00{\sim}34.38^{\circ}Bx$). Salinity (%) was highest in control sauce (1.38%), and there was no difference in salinity among the sauces depending on the amount of jujube concentrate. Viscosity was highest in sauce added with 50% jujube concentrate (43.33 cP) and lowest in sauce with 30% jujube concentrate (13.20 cP). As content of jujube concentrate increased, viscosity tended to increase significantly. Spreadability was highest in sauce added with 30% jujube concentrate (8.88 cm). As the amount of jujube concentrate increased, spreadability of sauce tended to decrease significantly. Color value was different according to the contents of jujube concentrate in sauces. L-, a-, and b-values of control sauce were highest at 40.19, 1.5, and 24.57, respectively. The results of the sensory test for Bulgogi sauce showed that overall preference was significantly highest in sauce added with 35% jujube concentrate. Moreover, sauce added with 35% jujube concentrate was preferred the most in terms of appearance, taste, and fluidity. Meanwhile, the results of the differentiation test showed a significant difference in color intensity, jujube flavor and taste, sweet taste, and salty taste. However, no significant difference was observed in fluidity. The results of the preference test for Bulgogi seasoned with sauces added with jujube concentrate showed that overall preference and flavor, taste, and texture preference were highest in Bulgogi seasoned with sauce added with 35% jujube concentrate. However, no significant difference was observed in preference towards appearance among the samples.

In this study, peach powder-added chocolate and chocolate-covered freeze-dried peach snack were developed, and their physicochemical and bioactive properties were characterized. To make the chocolate, 0~15% of peach powders made of Fantasia cultivar were used. To make freeze-dried peach snack, three types of peach cultivars were tested: Mihwang, Kanoiwa Hakuto, andFantasia. In the case of chocolate, sugar content increased and pH decreased as peach powder content increased. Upon 15% peach powder addition, chocolate showed significant increase in flavonoid content and reducing power. In the case of freeze-dried peach snack, phenol content and antioxidant activity were significantly high in the Mihwang cultivar among the three types of peach cultivars tested. These results can be applied to the development of new food products using peach while maintaining its original physicochemical and bioactive properties.

The aim of this work was to make acorn bread containing natural antioxidants as healthy food. The amylographic characteristics, loaf volume, color, texture, and subjective preference of the acorn bread containing 5~25% of acorn flour were measured during storage at room temperature and in a freezer. The results were as follows: The loaf volume decreased with increasing the addition of acorn flour from 5% to 25%. The onset gelatinization temperature and the value at the peak point of the bread decreased according to the amount of acorn flour added. L-value decreased with the increase of acorn flour contents, but the a- and b- values increased. During the storage period at room temperature, the L, a, and b- value decreased, whereas in the freezer, the L-value decreased except for the bread containing 5~11% acorn flour. In sensory evaluation, color and taste achieved high scores at 18% addition, but low scores at 25% addition. The bitter aftertaste showed low scores according to the addition of acorn flour. The softness and chewiness decreased, but the overall acceptance increased according to the addition of acorn flour except for the bread added with 25% acorn flour. The textural measurements showed that the hardness, springiness, gumminess, and brittleness increased significantly during the storage periods. The cohesiveness, gumminess, and brittleness in room temperature storage decreased with the increase of acorn flour contents. In freezer storage, the addition of acorn flour resulted in the increase of hardness, springiness, gumminess, and brittleness during storage periods. On the other hands, the cohesiveness decreased with the addition of acorn flour. Moreover the addition of acorn flour increased significantly the hardness, gumminess, and brittleness during storage periods. As a result, the bread containing acorn flour showed reasonable textural properties during storage periods.

This study examined the physicochemical characteristics and antioxidant activities of 22 commercial coffees, including two americano-type regular coffees, seven instant coffee mix coffees and 13 vending machine coffees. The seven instant coffee mixes and 13 vending machine coffees contained sugar and coffee creamer. Coffee samples with sugar and coffee creamer had higher pH values than regular coffee (p<0.05). Additionally, coffees with sugar and coffee creamer were significantly higher in total phenolics (p<0.05), total flavonoids (p<0.05) and ABTS radical scavenging activity (p<0.05). On-line HPLC-ABTS analyses indicated that antioxidant activities of instant coffees with sugar and coffee creamer were clearly different from those of regular coffee.

This study investigated the effects of insoluble dietary fibers from pine (Pinus radiata D. Don) inner bark powder (PIBP) on loperamide constipation in rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were administered PIBP in their diets at concentrations of 5% and 10% for 4 weeks. Rats were divided in to four groups, normal diet group (Cont), a normal diet and loperamide group (Lop), 5% PIBP experimental diet and loperamide group (Lop+PIBP 5%), and 10% PIBP experimental diet and loperamide group (Lop+PIBP 10%). Constipation was induced by oral administration of loperamide (2 mg/kg, twice per day) for the last three days of the experiment. Food intake, body weight, properties of feces, gastrointestinal transit time, and serum lipid profiles were measured. When compared with the normal diet and loperamide group (Lop), there were increases in fecal pellet number (p<0.05), wet weight (p<0.001), and water content (p<0.001). Positive results were derived from relevant indicators to improve constipation. In addition, the number of fecal pellets in the colon was not significant, and decreased as PIBP content increased. PIBP had a concentration-dependent effect on reduction of total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, and triglycerides and elevation of HDL-cholesterol. These results indicate that PIBP may effectively prevent constipation.

This study was conducted to examine the level of exposure, credibility and usefulness of the food tourism information channel perceived by foreign tourists visiting Korea. A total of 230 survey questionnaires were distributed to Japanese and Chinese tourists, who account for the highest percentage of tourists visiting Korea. The results showed that tourists were segmented into three groups based on their participation in food tourism activities: culinary tourists, experiential tourists and general tourists. Japanese tourists participated more actively in food tourism activities than Chinese tourists. The information channel used most frequently by tourists was 'word-of-mouth,' while the least used channel was 'e-mail catalog contains food tourism information.' Culinary tourist most actively used online and offline channels to search for food tourism information. Perceived credibility and usefulness of the food tourism information channel differed by nationality and food tourist segments. This study provides meaningful implications regarding food tourism promotion strategies.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the physicochemical and sensory characteristics and overall preference for makgeolli after conducting fermentation using carrots with various levels of beta carotene and functional materials. The beta - carotene content was highest in 16% carrot powder, and steadily increased as the amount of carrot powder increased. Alcohol content increased with increasing amount of carrot powder. Alcohol content which greatly influences the quality of traditional wine, changes depending on the water soluble solid content and free sugar content during the manufacture of traditional wine. Sensory tests showed that the highest results were in the 12% carrot powder added group. As a result, the content of beta carotene increased with the addition of carrot powder, but the fermentation time was delayed and the sugar content was decreased because of variations in sugar content and color. Therefore, the optimal addition of carrot powder was 12%.

본 연구는 기후변화에 따른 온도 및 습도 상승에 대한 건조분말 식품에서의 미생물적인 품질 변화를 평가하였다. 건조분말 시료를 고온 및 다양한 상대습도에서 저장하며 총균수, 대장균군, 효모 및 곰팡이를 측정한 결과 높은 상대습도에서 건조분말 식품의 수분활성도가 유의적으로 증가하였으며, 총균수와 진균류가 저장기간 동안 유의적으로 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 진균류는 저장 기간 동안 건조분말식품의 수분활성도의 증가와 높은 상관성을 나타내어 건조분말 식품의 보관 시 가장 관리가 필요한 미생물 군으로 확인되었다. 반면 상대습도 85% 이하에서는 미생물의 높은 생육이 관찰되지 않아 건조분말 식품의 보관에서 저장 중 상대습도의 관리가 매우 중요함을 알 수 있다. 건조분말 식품은 낮은 수분활성도로 인하여 개봉 후에도 주로 상온에 장기간 보관하는 식품이다. 하지만 본 연구결과로부터 높은 상대습도는 건조분말 식품의 수분활성도와 미생물 품질에 유의적인 영향을 줄 수 있으므로, 개봉된 건조분말 식품은 밀봉하거나, 냉장 보관하는 등 저장 시 온도 및 습도를 철저히 관리할 필요가 있다.
