This study aimed to evaluate the necessity of updating current nutritional standards for school lunch programs in Korea. The study was performed both theoretically and practically considering the present physiques and nutrient intakes of school students. Theoretically, adequacy of types of nutrients and nutrient reference values were analyzed. Specifically, the adequacy of the types of nutrients were reviewed by applying the same selection procedures used in the 2007 revision of current standards in order to evaluate the necessity of updates. The nutrient reference values were compared with those in the U.S., Japan, and Taiwan in terms of setting year, basic data, and setting method. Practically, a focus group interview with six school nutrition teachers was conducted to investigate any operational difficulties in applying the current standards to school foodservices in Bucheon on October 1, 2015. As a result, nine types of nutrients were decided, which excluded protein and thiamin from the current ones. The nutrient reference values needed updating toward more adequate levels by reflecting more various and recent basic data considering daily nutrient intakes and the actual percentages of intakes from lunches of school students. The results showed that school nutrition teachers found it difficult to apply the current standards to school foodservices, especially as school level increased from elementary through middle to high schools mainly due to protein and calcium. Overall, the study results imply that the current nutritional standards for school lunch programs in Korea need updating to reflect the current physiques and actual nutrient intakes of school students.

This paper proposes to research on the actual conditions of dietary life of some children with similar living standard. They were in the 4th and 5th grades of two elementary schools located at Tongrae-ku Pusan City and the survey period was from March to April in 1989. One part was 0 elementary school childern with school lunch and the other part was ones in K elementary school without school lunch. This survey shows the effect of nutrition education of school lunch on the intake of food and nutrient the pattern of food consumption and untrient intake and the knowledge level of nutrition and results in calling attention to the importance of school lunch and the necessity f its expanded paractice and bringing up some problems to be solved in order to excute more improved program of school lunch. As the results of analysis first the school lunch group demonstrated desirable pattern of food consumption and nutrient intake school lunch aims at by the effect of nutritional education of the scheduled school lunch program and turned out to be superior in food and nutrient intake. physical index and level of nutrient knowledte to the non school lunch group. Secondly since both groups show the lack of calcium intake it is necessary to establish a meal plan to increase calcium source and in order to improve the quality of school lunch it is desirable to plan a program considering proper amount of meal service by age and sex selection of menu based on preference research various cooking methods and and food mixing fit for standard food consitiution of school lunch.

As Korea has approached the aging society, older Koreans have become an important force in restaurant sales today. To succeed with this silver market, it is important for restaurant managers to know who they are and which factor influence the older Koreans' eating-out decision making process. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the elderly consumers financial independency on restaurant selection process. Data were collected from 178 older consumers above 55 years old and analyzed using the descriptive statistic analysis, MANOVA, and one-way ANOVA. The results showed that the elderly consumers financial independency significantly influenced the decision making process in determining where they eat out Significant differences were found between high income group and low income group in the Problem Recognition Step(Wilks' Lambda=0.776, F=3.796), Information Search Step(Wilks' Lambda=0.779, F=2.959), Alternative Evaluation Step (I :Wilks' Lambda=0.835, F=1.748/ II :Wilks' Lambda=0.764, F=3.212), and Purchase Decision Step(Wilks' Lambda=0.849, F=2.412), except the Post-Purchase Behavior(Wilks' Lambda=0.933, F=1.179). The more financially independent older consumers were, the more directly they were involved in the eating out decision making process. Older consumers with higher income and more personal property were likely to 'propose to eat out by themselves'(F=10.986), to obtain restaurant information from the 'printed materials'(F=9.707), to consider 'convenient location' as most important factor when they eat out(F=5.594), and to go to 'family restaurant'(F=7.067), 'Japanese restaurant'(F=7.391) and 'fine dining restaurants'(F-=6.382). In conclusion, we found that the elderly consumers financial independency did influence the eating-out decision making process. Considering that older Korean will become a financially independent consumer and will be eating away from home more often, food service operations should actively position themselves for this market and develop the market-driven menus and services to meet their needs and expectations.

The propose of this study was to investigate taurine intake in formula-fed and breast-fed infants and to estimate the level of taurine of blood and urine in order to determine the requirement of taurine intake in infants. These results will be useful to suggest the guideline of requirement of taurine intake and may contribute toward the proper use of breast milk substitutes. Experimental groups were breast-fed infants (n=10) and formula-fed infants (n=10) of 20 normal delivery infants in general hospital. This study was longitudinal study from birth up to 16weeks (0 week, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks, 16 weeks). The items of test were anthropometry(weight, height, head circumference, chest circumference), intake of taurine, taurine level of blood and urine in breast-fed and formula-fed infants. There were no significant differences between breast-fed and formula-fed infants in weight, height, head and chest circumference. There is a need for future studies of exclusive infants with larger samples to determine which growth pattern should be considered as the norm. Taurine concentration of plasma and urine did not differ between breast-fed and formula-fed infants. Taurine intake recommendations for infants is about 30mg/day from this study. This data will be useful for production of human-like formula milk and suggestion of an index of selection of a consumer in taurine.

Adequate intake of nutrients exert a profound influence on the physical and spiritual development of children. Thus, it is important to children and their mothers about nutrition and selection of nutritious foods. In order to underline the importance of nutrition for children, this study investigated and analyzed food habits of children expecially those in preschool ages, to obtain basic data to develop effective educational materials related to nutrition. dietary habits of 61 boys and 44 girls in the average age of six were surveyed through their mothers. Results therefrom are as follows : 1. Only 17 per cent of the mothers questioned replied that they considered the balance of diet in preparing meals, while 58.1% of the mothers gave precedence to the liking of their family . The lower the educational level of a mother , the higher her stress on the food preference of her family. 2. Seventy six of the mothers said they understand the basic food group , but only one mother displayed an accurate knowledge about it. 3. As for between meal eating , 82.9% took fruits, 68.6% milk, 35.2 bread, and 33.3% cookies. 4. Problems with food habits of children were : Unbalanced diet for 43.8% of children ,eating of snacks at irregular intervals for 26.7% and TV impact for 5.7%. 5. Children's food habits are greatly influenced by their parents, In the case of animal liver, 32.1 % of the children surveyed do not like to eat it, while 35.8% have never tasted it . 27.9% of children also do not like to eat cereals. Children's likes and dislikes with regarded to foods were influenced greatly by their parents. Thus, it is urgent to educate mothers about balanced diet and basic food group. Children will have to be taught to understand unfavorable effects of unbalanced diet so that they may correct their unsound food habits. This study also indicated the need for developing new cooking methods for those food items which are very liked by children to be a major cause of their unbalanced dietary habits.

Pharmacotherapy is considered the first line therapy in attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Many patients also choose complementary medicine such as dietary supplements. Omega-3 has shown some efficacy for improving ADHD symptoms in several studies. The goal of this review is to integrate the previous research findings on omega-3 and understand the issues worth considering in the treatment of ADHD. The terms "attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity", "omega-3", and "dietary supplements" were searched on PubMed, Cochrane, and Google scholar. The search was further limited to clinical trials, reviews, and meta-analyses. Trials that examined treatments for ADHD, used randomized design, and placebo-controlled trials were included. Eighteen clinical trials with a total of 1,141 participants were included in this review. Fifteen trials had parallel designs, comparing an omega-3/6 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFAs) or a combination of both to a placebo and three compared omega-3/6 PUFAs to a placebo and psycho-stimulants. Seven of the included trials showed significant improvements in groups receiving omega-3/6 PUFAs compared to placebo groups, however, 11 trials showed no significant differences. Evidence that PUFAs supplementation provides benefits for ADHD was yet limited. Mixed results were due to selection variability criteria, variability of supplementation, and short follow-up intervals.

Objectives: This study aimed to develop nutrition education program for consumers to reduce sodium intake based on social cognitive theory (SCT). Methods: The main factors of SCT related to low sodium diet were investigated by using focus group interview (FGI) with 30 women who participated in consumer organizations. Results: The main target groups for the education program were housewives (H), parents (P), and the office workers (OW), for which we considered their influences on other people and the surroundings. According to the results of FGI, in carrying out low sodium diet, 'positive outcome expectation' were prevention of chronic disease and healthy dietary habit, and 'negative outcome expectation' were low palatability of foods, difficulty in cooking meals, and limited choice of foods. The contents of the program and education materials were individualized by each group to raise self-efficacy and behavioral capability, which reflected the results of the FGI. The program included 'salt intake and health' to raise positive outcome expectation. For improving the ability to practice low-sodium diet, the program contained the contents that focused on 'cooking' and 'food purchasing' for H, on 'purchasing and selection of low-sodium food with the children' for P, and on 'way of selecting restaurant menu' for OW. Also the program included 'way of choosing the low-sodium foods when eating out' with suggestions on sodium content of the dishes and snacks. Further, 'dietary guidelines to reduce sodium intake' was also suggested to help self-regulation. Conclusions: This nutrition education program and education materials could be utilized for the community education and provide the basis for further consumer targeted education program for reducing sodium intake.

생균제는 항생제와 반대의 어원적 의미를 갖는 것으로 장내 미생물 균형을 기선함으로써 숙주 동물에게 유익한 작용을 유도할 수 있는 살아있는 미생물 첨가제로서 항생제를 대체할 수 있는 물질 중 하나로서 인식되어 왔다. Lactobacillus와 같은 젖산균은 유산을 생성하여 장의 산도를 pH를 저하시켜 잡균의 오염을 방지하며, 각종 비타민, 아미나산, 항균물질 등을 생산하여 가축 장내 미생물균총의 안정, 사료효율 증가, 내병성 증대 등의 효과가 있다. 또한, saccharomyces와 같은 효모균은 각종 소화효소를 생산하여 영양소 분해를 촉진하며 알코올과 글루타민산과 같은 사료의 기호성을 증진시키는 물질을 분비한다. 단위가축에 있어 생균제의 급여효과는 돼지에 있어 증체량과 사료효율을 증가시키고 설사발생빈도를 낮춘다. 또한, 가금에 있어서는 산란계의 산란율을 개선하고, 장내 유익한 미생물의 수를 증가시키며, 육계의 증체량을 증가시키며, 혈중 콜레스테롤 수치를 낮춘다. 그러나 다른 연구에서는 생균제의 급여가 가축의 성적에 별다른 영향을 미치지 못하였다고 보고하여 이를 규명할 수 있는 연구의 진행이 이루어져야 할 것으로 보인다. 또한, 생균제의 효율적인 이용, 균주의 선발과 광합성미생물과 같은 친환경적인 생균제의 개발등도 해결되어야 할 과제일 것이다.
