This study was performed by questionnaire to investigate the preference for Korean traditional foods and revisiting intentions of Japanese tourists. The Subjects were consisted of 280 Japanese tourists staying at Gyeongju and Busan area. The results of this study were as follows: Among the respondents, $61.1\%$ selected 'taste' as the most important factor affecting the preference for korean traditional foods. On the frequency of eating, 'over 8 times per year' scored as high as $27.9\%$. The motivation of eating Korean foods was answered as 'With visiting Korea' by $48.2\%$ Thirties and forties ate Korean traditional foods more often than the others did $61.8\%$ of the Japanese tourists intended to eat more Korean traditional foods in the future. But the necessity of hygienic improvement was pointed out by $32.1\%$ of the subjects. Male subjects wanted the improvement of nutrition, taste and storage, while females shape, color and packing. The preferred Korean traditional foods were 'Bulgogi', 'Kimgui', 'BaechooKimchi', 'Bibimbap', and 'Samgaetang' in the order. On the other hand, the preference for 'Soojeongkwa', 'Songpeon', 'Kalgooksoo', 'Injelmi' and 'Sikhye' was very low. Male subjects favoured 'Cholbap', 'Ogokhap', and 'Youkgaejang', while females liked better 'Oisobaki' and 'Ddukboki. The people who were over fifties preferred 'Ssalbap', 'Boribap', 'BaechooKimchi', and 'Ggakdugi' and forties liked 'Kongbap' and 'Kimhap' better. The most effectual food items provoking revisiting intention to Korea were 'Jeon', and 'Bap', 'Meon' and 'Jjigae' were ranked in next.

We performed a molecular marker-based analysis of quantitative trait loci for traits that determine the quality of appearance of grains using 120 doubled haploid lines developed by anther culture from the F1 cross between 'Cheongcheong' (Oryza sativa L. ssp. Indica) and 'Nagdong' (Oryza sativa L. ssp. Japonica). We therefore calculated the alkali digestion value (ADV), used to indirectly measure gelatinization temperature, to evaluate the quality of cooked rice in 2013 and 2014. The ADV score of frequency distribution was higher milled rice than brown rice. In total, nine different quantitative trait loci (QTLs) were found on 5 chromosomes in 2013 and 2014. Also, chromosome 5, 8 were detected over two years. We conclude that selected molecular markers from this QTL analysis could be exploited in future rice quality. In conclusion, we investigated ADV of brown and milled rice in CNDH population. This study found nine QTLs related to the ADV of brown and milled rice. The detected one marker can be used to select lines with desirable eating-quality traits because ADV is closely associated with the eating quality of cooked rice. Therefore, it will be useful to collect resources and distinguishable in many varieties for rice breeding program.

Objectives : This study aimed to explore the influence of food intake and oral health behaviors on dental caries in juveniles. Methods : A total of 2,129 juveniles completed a questionnaire survey to identify the presence of permanent teeth caries, behaviors relevant to oral health and food intake based on the fourth National Health and Nutrition Survey. Results : Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that higher occasions of intake of carbonated drinks significantly cased dental caries in the meanwhile oral health behavior and the number of toothbrushing was in reverse proportion to dntal caries. The risk of dental caries was higher in the group of lower frequency of toothbrushing and intake of carbonated drink. Conclusions : Carbonated drinks intake and the number of toothbrushing is closely related to dental caries. So it is very important to develop oral health education program in order to improve eating habits and toothbrushing habits in juveniles.

This study was carried out to investigate the information concerning dietary patterns in middle school students. The subjects of this study were 420(underweight 140, normalweight 140, overweight 140) middle school students. We investigated eating habits, life habits, food attitude. Data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed with the SAS program(Version 8.1). The results of investigation are summarized and concluded as follows ; The average BMI of underweight was 18.3kg/$m^2$ , normalweight was 22.2kg/$m^2$ , overweight was 26.6kg/$m^2$ . In the case of eating habit, the overweight group shows that low frequency of meal and high of skipping meal than the others group. Also in Life habit, the overweight group shows longer of watching TV and using computer. The score of food attitude was also high in over weight group. This study can´t represent the whole middle school students in Seoul. So the survey for the whole students should be followed. We can expect to offer basic data for effective nutrition education by studying.

The objectives of this study were to assess food intake frequency and food behavior of infants and toddlers by using the Nutrition Quotient (NQ). A total of 368 subjects (infants 111, toddlers 257) in Ganghwa county were analyzed in this study. The NQ was examined using an NQ questionnaire, which consisted of 19 food behavior checklist items. The items were grouped into five categories: balance, diversity, moderation, regularity, and practice. All data were statistically analyzed by SPSS 20, and significant difference was evaluated by Student's t-test and $x^2-test$. The BMIs of infants and toddlers were $16.54kg/m^2$ and $16.01kg/m^2$, respectively. The frequencies of consumption of vegetables and fruits were higher (p<0.001) in girls and toddlers compared to boys and infants, respectively. Food behavior of meal regularity (p<0.001), breakfast eating (p<0.001), and chewing well (p<0.001) were also higher in toddlers compared to infants. Total NQ score of infants and toddlers were 62.05 and 64.91, respectively, which were within medium grade. The NQ score of toddlers was higher than that of infants (p<0.0.5). NQ score was positively correlated with parent's education, monthly income, age, and exercise. Therefore, children and their parents need proper nutrition education and counseling to correct their eating habits and improve their nutritional status.

This study was designed to compare general characteristics and dietary habits between volunteers for a nutrition survey and non-volunteers using a questionnaire. Volunteers were recruited by advertising on the homepage of a university to assess nutritional status by examining dietary intake for three days and blood analysis. Non-volunteers were selected from some classes not related to nutrition. There were no significant differences in sex, monthly allowances, eating-out cost, drinking and exercise between the two groups, while the proportion of self-boarding was higher in the volunteer group than in the non-volunteer group, and smoking rate of volunteers was approximately 2.4 times lower than that of non-volunteers. Volunteers were less concerned about their diet than non-volunteers. No significant differences in concern about health, considering factors in their diet, self-evaluation of their diet, learning experience about nutrition, and vitamin/mineral supplement use were observed. The frequency and the place of eating-out for dinner were significantly different between the two groups. More proportions of volunteers tended to eat regularly and eat breakfast. Volunteers consumed seaweeds more frequently, and milk, fruits and fast foods less frequently than non-volunteers. Our results indicate that some characteristics and dietary habits of volunteers are different from those of non-volunteers. However, we could not show that volunteers were more interested in their diet and had desirable dietary habits than non-volunteers. Further research on the characteristics of volunteers who participate in nutrition survey may be helpful to interpret and generalize the survey results.

The consumption pattern of Ramyon(a deep-fried instant noodle) in Seoul area was surveyed in 1988. Of 2,432 consumers, 801 consumers were considered to be non-eating. Based on Ramyon eating consumers, most frequent consumption of Ramyon was 1-2 times per week. The frequency of consumption decreased in the order of middle school student, high school student, university student, office worker and housewife. Most consumers eat Ramyon because of convenience for meal substitution. Consumers considered that the taste of soup was more important than the texture of noodle. The most desirable texture and taste of soup were chewy and spicy, respectively. The consumption pattern of Ramyon between sex and among occupation groups were different. However, no significant differences were observed between sex and among occupation groups as far as quality factors were considered.
