The data was collected through a consumer survey during the March 2006. Two hundred fifty meat consumers living in Suncheon, the eastern part of Chonnam, were randomly selected as respondents. Eleven respondents did not complete the survey instrument, resulting in a final sample size of 239. All estimations were carried out using correlation, logistic procedure of SAS package, and plum procedure of SPSS. The level of perceived helpfulness of country of origin in predicting the safety of chicken meat was significantly correlated with trust, antibiotics and salmonella/bacteria among the attitude variables.

Water uptake rates of barley (pressed, cutted and pearled) at $20^{\circ}C{\sim}50^{\circ}C$ were determined by measuring the weight gain during soaking. Pressed barley absorbed water at the fastest rate, whereas pearled barley at the slowest rate. The former was the most temperature dependent during hydration. Degree of gelatinization, determined by X-ray diffractometry, during cooking at $100^{\circ}C$ indicated that the pressed barley cooked 1.4- and 2-times faster than Gutted and pearled barley, respectively.
