Understanding the satisfaction and dissatisfaction of employees has been deemed important for smooth and efficient food service management. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between the dishwashing employees' job satisfaction and the operational and managerial factors in hospital foodservice systems. A survey of twenty conventional hospital food service systems was undertaken and detailed information was collected from 280 dishwashing employees through mailed questionnaires. Dishwashing employees' satisfaction was evaluated by measuring their job attitudes towards four aspects of their job using the modified Job Description Index (JDI). Descriptive analysis and Pearson product moment correlation analysis were used to analyze the data. The dishwashing workers were found to be more satisfied with their interpersonal relations with co-workers than with work content, pay or promotional opportunities. The demographic variables including education, type of employment and work experience were significantly related to job satisfaction. As the ratio of supervisors to dishwashing workers increased, the degree of satisfaction in dishwashing workers increased significantly.

The use of both an Alpha Hydroxy Acid, Citric Acid, and a Skin Moisturizer, Glycereth-26, formulated into a hand dishwashing detergent have been shown to be synergistic in their effects on certain skin health parameters. Each ingredient was evaluated alone and together in a hand dishwashing detergent via a 9-week use test. Panelists washed dishes using the sponge method commonly used in Asian markets and a 1:7 dilution of the concentrated dish detergent. Panelist's hands were evaluated initially and at 3-week intervals for nine weeks. After nine weeks panelist's hands showed significant improvements in Moisture Absorption and Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL). A synergistic effect on TEWL was found between the AHA and the Moisturizer. These effects, showing an improvement in the condition of the panelist's skin are impressive, particularly since they were observed from a dishwashing product that is highly diluted and at near neutral pH during the washing process.

This study was conducted to investigate the quality characteristics of the natural dishwashing liquid added with the mixture extracts of Curcuma Longa L. (CL), Morus alba (MA) and Ecklonia cava (EC) at various concentrations. The pH and lightness of the natural dishwashing liquid were reduced by adding the mixture extracts, while the turbidity was increased. The natural dish washing liquid added with mixture extracts was shown to display strong antimicrobial activities against L. monocytogenes compared to that of control. Also, it revealed that antioxidant activity was increased depending on concentrations. However, natural dishwashing liquid added with mixture extracts showed the low detergency efficiency. In sensory evaluation, the natural dishwashing liquid containing CL 0.5%, MA 0.25% and EC 0.25% was preferred than the control and it showed negative result in skin patch test. These results suggest that the addition of CL 0.5%, MA 0.25% and EC 0.25% positively improved the qualities characteristics in the natural dish washing liquid.

In this study, removal efficiencies of pesticides on apples and peppers with water, dishwashing detergent, and alcoholic disinfectant were investigated by Gas Chromatography. Different conditions of pretreatment for increase of pesticide recovery were investigated for optimum condition. In our experiment, the supelco-STB-608 column and electron capture detector(ECD) were used to analyze pesticides residue. Removal efficiency of pesticide was in the order of alcoholic disinfectant>dishwashing detergent>water.

The work environment and 20 influencing variables in 20 conventional hospital foodservice systems were examined. Twenty hospitals with more than 500 beds in Seoul were surveyed to obtain data for study variables. The work environment index was measured by five objective measurements including noise (dB), light(Lux), temperature ($^{\circ}C$), humidity (％) and ventilation (mι/sec). Statistical methods used in this study were descriptive analysis and Pearson product moment correlation analysis. The number of beds, space of foodservice system, the proportion of dishwashing area space in foodservice system area, noise, humidity, and ventilation were significantly correlated to the work environment of the dishwashing area.

To reveal the effect of synthetic detergent on the water pollution as a preliminary step, we measured the primary biodegradation and ultimate biodegradation with three kinds of dishwashing detergents being sold at market. Consequently, the primary biodegradation of above mentioned samples were suited to Korean Standards. Above all, the goods that has fast primary biodegradation shows the tendency to fast ultimate biodegradation.

Indicies of the labor productivity were assessed from 80 industry foodservice erstablishments in terms of meals served per labor hour, labor minutes per meal served, and labor cost per meal served. The labor productivity indicies were also assessed according to variables related to work such as working hours, paryment for the workers, volume of feeding, utilization of foodservice equipment, use of processed foods, and background of employees. The summary of the results was as follows: 1. Manufacturing sector among surveyed industry foodservice showed the highest labor productivity indicies followed by training institute. 2. 28.8% of surveyed establishments used dishwashing machine, while manual dishwashing was used in 71.3% of subjects, equipped rate point was 9.8 out of 20, and disposable dish was used in 30% of subjects. 3. A significant positive relationship was found between the number of meals and the labor procductivity indicies. As the number of meals increased, more meals were served per worker as per labor hour. 4. A significant negative relationship was found between price of meal and the labor productivity didicies. As the price of meal increased, less meals were served per worker as well as per labor hour.

The productivity of a hospital foodservice system has a significant implication in hospital management as costs for labor and material increase, competitions among hospitals increase, and patients' expectations as to the quality of hospital services increase. The foodservice is characterized by its labor intensiveness. The objective of this study was to examine associations between operational and managerial factors and the productivity of dishwashing work in hospital foodservice systems. The labor productivity in 20 conventional food service systems was assessed and related to a number of influencing variables within the system. The productivity measurement was based upon the total dish equivalents as a ratio of the total direct and non-direct labor hours required to wash these dishes. 20 hospitals with more than 500 beds located in Seoul were surveyed to obtain data for study variables. Questionnaire and a survey form were mailed. Statistical methods used in this study were descriptive analysis and Pearson product moment correlation analysis. Hospital system characteristic which was found to correlate significantly with productivity was the ratio of dish loss. As this increased, the productivity level increased.

The effects of the composition of the dishwashing detergent on interfaces of the oil (O) and the aqueous (W) solution in addition to the cleaning effects of interfacial properties were investigated. Also, the cleaning power of the oil contaminated on the surface of the dish according to each composition and the residuals of the contaminants and the cleaning agent after the washing rinses were evaluated. The removal of contaminated oil on the solid (S) surface in the composition of the cleaning agents used in this study was strongly related to the interfacial properties between the W/O/S, and was particularly dependent on the forward and backward dynamic contact angles. When both contact angles were low at the same time, the permeability of the cleaning solution was so high that the contaminated oil showed a high removal effect. The smaller the interfacial tension of O/W was, the better emulsification of the contaminated oil, the higher the interfacial tension, and the poorer emulsification were achieved. However, the emulsification effect did not significantly affect the cleaning power. In particular, in the case of the cleaner having low interfacial tension, the cleaning material remained on the surface of the solid after washing.
