  • This study evaluated trends in research funding and the present status of food science in Korea with a special emphasis on funding by Korea Science and Engineering Foundation (KOSEF). The proportion of research funds allocated to food science has increased every year in agricultural science. The numbers of group-based programs of KOSEF have been increasing since 1980' and the ratio of individual-based programs decreased in . this-field. Researchers in the food science field ranges. from 46 to 50 years of age, with a mean age of 47. Mid- to long-term research master plans will be required to encourage food science research in Korea.

  • The hand hygiene behavior of 400 middle school students (grades 1-3) in Seoul and Gyeonggi-Do was studied to determine how stages of change were affected by food safety education, focusing on hand hygiene and general food safety. Subjects were 51.3% male and 44.3% of study subjects were first graders of middle school. Approximately 40% of subjects were at the stage of action, 42.7% were at the stage of contemplation, and 16.4% were at pre-contemplation. The most important factor that influenced proper hand washing was self efficacy ($P$ < 0.001). Proper hand washing was also correlated significantly with positive belief ($P$ < 0.01) and stages of change ($P$ < 0.01). After food safety education by high-school mentors, middle-school students who were in the stages of pre-contemplation (11.1%) and contemplation (88.9%) showed significant progression toward the action stage ($P$ < 0.001). Proper hand washing ($P$ < 0.01) and food safety knowledge ($P$ < 0.05) were also significantly increased after educational intervention.
