Objectives: To investigate the effect of several elder-friendly foods on oral health and suggest guidelines for proper food intake. Methods: Six elderly-friendly foods (liquid type) and two control groups (mineral water and mixed coffee) were selected for this study. The pH of the food was measured using a calibrated pH meter, and the titratable acidity was determined using 1 M NaOH until 7.0 (TA 7.0). The screening method suggested by the International Organization for Standards was performed using an undersaturated hydroxyapatite solution to determine the difference between the initial and final pH of the screening solution (△pH). In addition, the sugar content was measured and expressed as Brix (%). Results: All the elder-friendly foods tested in this study showed a neutral pH (6.68-7.35), similar to mineral water (pH 7.84). The range of TA 7.0 values was 0.00-0.54 ㎖. The changes in pH determined using the screening solution confirmed that the largest change in pH was found in Careon (△pH 1.14±0.02), which has no erosive potential. Nevertheless, all elder-friendly foods had higher sugar content than the negative control group. Conclusions: Low tooth erosive potential was found in elder-friendly foods, but these foods showed high sugar content.

Tuile containing retrograded rice and black sesame was developed by optimization of the mixing rate of retrograded rice and egg white using response surface methodology. Nine samples of design points were obtained according to central composite design, and the optimal mixing rate of retrograded rice flour and egg white as independent variables was calculated with the sensory score, color, and texture as response variables. Nine samples of the experimental group and no added retrograded rice flour Tuile were also compared in terms of sensory properties, color and texture. According to the results, the optimal mixing rate of black sesame Tuile was 8.6 g of retrograded rice and 33.5 g of egg white. Regression analysis of the response showed that retrograded rice flour and egg white had effect on the color and texture of black sesame Tuile, with egg white more influential rather than retrograded rice. In a comparison of quality between retrograded rice flour added Tuile and no retrograded rice flour Tuile, lightness ($p$<0.05), hardness ($p$<0.001) and fracturability ($p$<0.001) of retrograded rice flour added Tuile was better than those of the other sample, and sensory quality in terms of color ($p$<0.01), taste ($p$<0.001), texture ($p$<0.01) were more excellent as well.

Dietary life style of the elderly living in rural areas of Gyeongbuk Andong during the busy farming season was surveyed and a monthly meal plan for the elderly was developed using eco-friendly native crops and considering the characteristics of a busy farming season and their preferences. A week meal plan was selected and applied to those fields. The meal plan was developed for an elder's house in Gyeongbuk Andong during the busy farming season. Especially, to increase the intake of calcium and dietary fiber, bamboo sprouts, pepper leaves, dried slices of whitebait, and fried anchovies were used. Considering the busy farming season, the ginseng chicken soup and the soybean noodle soup were served to provide high quality of protein and to improve health condition. A cold soup of cucumber and brown seaweed was used to supplement liquid, vitamins, and minerals. The results are as follows: the highest score of the preference on a staple was 8.77 for the boiled barley of menu 5; the favorite soup was the ginseng chicken soup (8.73) in menu 4; for side dishes, those in menu 5 were most popular (8.69); the favorite meal was the ginseng chicken soup of menu 4 (8.69). Regarding the amount of leftover foods, the lightest was 30.14 g in Gyeongbuk Andong menu 3 which significantly indicates high preference (p<0.05). The current study was a planned meal service menu using local crops and seasonal foods, which was actually applied to the field resulting in high preference and satisfaction levels.
