The Chinese red-headed centipede Scolopendra subspinipes mutilans, a member of the arthropod class Chilopoda, is a traditional medicine used for the treatment of several allergic diseases, such as atopy. S. subspinipes mutilans samples were collected from different regions of South Korea: Sancheong, Gyeongnam; Yeonggwang, Jeonnam and Jeju-do. The nutritional values of the centipedes were analyzed to extend the species' applications. The crude protein and fat contents of all samples were high and ranged from 54.9-55.8% and from 26.8-30.6%, respectively. Essential amino acids were present; lysine was the most common and accounted for 3.4-3.6% of the essential amino acids. Glutamic acid, which assists in improving concentration, memory and other cognitive abilities, was the most common non-essential amino acid at 6.8-7.1%. It had a similar content percentage in all three regions' samples. Additionally, unsaturated fatty acids were present, and oleic acid, which prevents cancer and cardiac disease, was the most common at 41.3-48.6% of each sample. Mercury, a hazardous substance, was detected at a range of 0.08-0.11 mg/kg in all samples; the amount was lower than the standard food allowance. Additionally, no pathogenic microorganisms, such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella spp., were detected. There were no significant differences between the nutritional factors of the S. subspinipes mutilans samples from the three regions. Based on the nutritional analysis, Chinese red-headed centipedes have the potential to be food and medicinal ingredients due to their proteins, essential amino acids, unsaturated fatty acids and nutritive capacities.

The content of general components such as moisture, crude ash, protein and crude fat were not different among the samples, but the content of crude protein in the fresh garlic was higher (in fresh garlic) than that of heat-treated garlic. Eighteen amino acids were analysed from the fresh garlic. The content of arginine was the highest in the fresh garlic. The amount of free amino acids was less than that of total amino acids, but their compositions were similar. Among minerals, the content of K was much higher than those of Mg, Ca and Na. The volatile compounds from the garlic extracts were identified by GC/MS. The composition of diallyl disulfides was very high among the volatile compounds, which were decreased in heat-treated ones.

The objective of this study was to determine antioxidant compounds in specialty rice including milled rice, brown rice, red rice, giant embryonic rice, black rice, green rice, and Goami consumed in Korea. The concentrations of total polyphenols (insoluble and soluble polyphenols), phytic acid, and anthocyanin in the samples were measured using spectrophotometric methods and vitamin I analysis was carried out by HPLC. The contents of the total polyphenolic compounds were 565mg/100g for black rice, 405mg/100g for red rice, 140mg/100g for giant embryo rice, 138mg/100g for Goami, 133mg/100g for brown rice, 127mg/100g for green rice, and 66mg/100g for white rice. The black and red rices were significantly high in polyphenolic contents compared with the other rices, apparently due to their intense red-purple color. Black rice, red rice, and Goami showed significantly higher vitamin E and phytic acid contents compared with other rices. Anthocyanins were determined in only black rice (302mg/100g) due to the detection limits of spectrophotometric assay. hlthough vitamin I and anthocyanin contents were relatively lower than polyphenolics among the samples, the specialty rice may contribute to the significant supply of antioxidant compounds to prevent oxidative stress due to the fact that rice is used as a staple food and consumed in large amounts in our diets. The results can be used to increase rice consumption by enhancing consumer awareness on health benefits of the rice.

To evaluate Protaetia brevitarsis as a food material, we investigated its composition of nutritional and harmful components. Analysis of nutritional composition (moisture, crude protein, crude fat, crude ash, crude fiber, and carbohydrates) showed that the content of crude protein, fat, fiber, and ash were $57.86{\pm}0.01$%, $16.57{\pm}1.81$%, $5.31{\pm}0.10$%, and $8.36{\pm}0.10$% in Protaetia brevitarsis powder, respectively. Amino acids were composed of 17.68% essential and 33.97% non-essential in Protaetia brevitarsis powder. Protaetia brevitarsis powder contained 61.10% unsaturated fatty acid with oleic acids. Additionally, Protaetia brevitarsis powder had a large quantity of minerals related to body organization, such as K (1597 mg/100 g), P (724.1 mg/100 g), Mg (366.3 mg/100 g), and so on. We also confirmed that all bacteria and all heavy metals analyzed in this study, except for very small amount of Hg ($0.1{\pm}0.042$ mg/kg), were not detected in the lysophilized Protaetia brevitarsis powder.

Consumer interest in food nutrition continues to grow; however, research on consumer preferences related to nutrition remains limited. In this study, big data analysis was conducted using keyword logs collected from the national information service, the Korean Food Composition Database (K-FCDB), to determine consumer preferences for foods of nutritional interest. The data collection period was set from January 2020 to December 2022, covering a total of 2,243,168 food name keywords searched by K-FCDB users. Food names were processed by merging them into representative food names. The search frequency of food names was analyzed for the entire period and by season using R. In the frequency analysis for the entire period, steamed rice, chicken, and egg were found to be the most frequently consumed foods by Koreans. Seasonal preference analysis revealed that in the spring and summer, foods without broth and cold dishes were consumed frequently, whereas in fall and winter, foods with broth and warm dishes were more popular. Additionally, foods sold by restaurants as seasonal items, such as Naengmyeon and Kongguksu, also exhibited seasonal variations in frequency. These results provide insights into consumer interest patterns in the nutritional information of commonly consumed foods and are expected to serve as fundamental data for formulating seasonal marketing strategies in the restaurant industry, given their indirect relevance to consumer trends.

과거의 무분별한 수자원 개발에 따른 자연환경파괴로 인해 점차 대규모 다목적댐의 건설과 같은 신규 수자원 개발이 쉽지 않은 상황이지만, 여전히 댐은 유한의 수자원을 적극적으로 확보하기 위한 가장 대표적인 방법으로서, 안정적인 용수 확보를 통한 물부족의 해소와 효율적인 운영을 통한 홍수와 가뭄 피해 예방을 위해 중요한 역할을 해오고 있다. 댐의 건설로 인해 하류측 본류에서는 과거와 같은 유량의 극심한 계절적인 편차는 감소되었으며, 가뭄이나 홍수에 대한 피해 규모도 저감되었다고 볼 수 있다. 댐 건설에 따른 수문학적 변화에 대한 분석은 실제 댐 건설 전후의 장기적인 관측자료를 비교하는 것이 가장 정확한 방법이나, 대부분 관측자료가 전무하거나 충분하지 못하기 때문에 일반적으로 모델링을 통해 장기간의 유출자료를 추정한 후 이를 기반으로 그 영향을 평가하고 있다. 모델링 방법으로는 과거부터 오랫동안 국내 수자원 해석 및 계획에 폭넓게 활용되고 있는 TANK 모형을 비롯하여, SSARR, NWS-PC, TOPMODEL, HSPF, PRMS, SLURP, SWAT, MIKE-SHE 등 다양한 모형들이 적용되고 있다. 이 중에서 SWAT은 유역의 수문 수질의 시공간적인 해석 및 관리, 그리고 미래 유역환경변화에 따른 영향 평가 등을 위해 국내는 물론 국제적으로도 많이 적용되고 있는 모형이다. 본 연구에서는 SWAT 모형을 국내 유역 특성에 적합하도록 개선한 SWAT-K 모형을 이용하여, 금강유역에서의 대청댐 및 용담댐의 운영과 인위적인 용수 이용에 따른 유출량, 증발산량 및 지하수 함양량 등의 수문성분의 변화를 분석하였다. 대청댐의 건설과 유역내 용수 이용으로 인해 하류측 공주지점에서의 유출량은 자연상태에 비해 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며, 지하수 함양량과 증발산량은 감소하는 것으로 분석되었다.

In order to examine the quality attributes of native-bee honey, proximate composition and mineral components were analysed by atomic absorption spectrometry, ion chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography. The analytical results showed that native-bee honey is higher in the contents of crude ash, crude protein and diastase activity than those of foreign-bee honey. The principal mineral components of honey were Ca, Mg, Na, K and Cl, which showed that almost all the mineral components were contained higher in the native-bee honey than the foreign-bee honey samples. When we calculated K/Na ratio, we could make a clear distinction between native-bee honey and foreign-bee honey. The K/Na ratio turned out to be more than 10 in 6 samples of native-bee honey, whereas the ratio of foreign-bee honey showed up less than 1.5 in all 3 samples.
