An investigation was carried out to study the effects of extraction, heat treatment, and storage temperature on functional ingredients of onion. Extracts of onion paste and freeze dried onion were prepared by treatments with several solvents including hot water, methanol, and ethanol, and then contents of functional ingredients such as total phenol, flavonoid, quercetin, and thiosulfinate were determined. The highest levels of functional ingredients were observed in samples extracted using water at 100$^{\circ}C$ or ethanol. The skin extract contained 60-fold more quercetin than onion paste extract, whereas no thiosulfinate was detected in onion skin extract. Heat treatment of onion extracts at 60, 80, 105, and 121$^{\circ}C$ did not effect on the levels of all functional ingredients tested. During four-week storage, the levels of total phenol, flavonoid, and quercetin were not significantly changed regardless of storage temperature. However, the total thiosulfinate was rapidly reduced as the storage temperature increased.

Indigestible carbohydrates as dietary fiber have attracted interest of consumers due to their several physiological benefits. Recent definitions of dietary fiber have included other indigestible carbohydrates such as resistant starch and resistant maltodextrins, which are natural, colorless, odorless and tasteless low-calorie food ingredients. Unlike some carbohydrates and digestible starches, indigestible starch and maltodextrin resist enzymatic hydrolysis in the upper gastrointestinal tract, resulting in little or no direct glucose absorption. In addition, there is increased microbial fermentation production of short-chain fatty acids in the large intestine. As an emerging functional low-calorie food ingredient, resistant starch and maltodextrin have been shown to have equivalent or superior impacts on human health compared to conventional fiber-enriched food ingredients. In this paper, the definition, strategies to enhance dietary fiber content in foods, some potential health benefits, and applications in food industry for indigestible starch and maltodextrin are summarized and discussed.

The objective of this study to investigate the satisfaction of elementary and middle school students in Chungnam province. We surveyed related to school food service, concerns about food ingredients and dietary life, perceptions of free school food service and satisfaction the quality and management of the school food service. Furthermore, this survey with the previous. Compared to year, frequency of education related to school food service and concerns about food ingredients and dietary life. Perception on free school food service increased 1.2%, not statistically significant. Satisfaction for the quality of the school food service statistically significant increase compared to 2015. ore individuals educated the foods' county-of-origin and a higher concern the food materials and dietary life, subsequently higher satisfaction for the quality and management of school food service. The results of this study suggest that concern and concentration on software of school food service such as education and guide are important.

The objective of this study was to develop a stock that can be used to make a variety of dishes. For this, stock was prepared with beef, chicken, and pork meat as animal meats as well as anchovy, mushroom, and sea tangle as other ingredients. The qualities of six[only four though] kinds of stocks made with beef only (B), beef and chicken (BC), beef and pork (BP), and beef added with chicken and pork (BCP), and seven kinds of stocks made with anchovy (A), mushroom (M), sea tangle (S), anchovy and mushroom (AM), anchovy and sea tangle (AS), mushroom and sea tangle (MS), and anchovy added with mushroom and sea tangle (AMS) were investigated by sensory evaluation. The most preferred stock made with animal meat was mixed with the most preferred stock made with other ingredients at a 5% level to test the synergistic effects of palatability. As a result, BCP stock and AMS stock obtained the highest scores for overall preference. BCP stock within the range of 30%-65% along with the mixed stock containing AMS (35%-70%) showed synergistic effects for palatability.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the parents' perceptions of children's favorite foods. Mothers of elementary school students in Seoul were asked in a survey about their perceptions of children's favorite foods and their opinions of the related policy. Respondents pointed out the problems of children's favorite foods including insufficient sanitation, concerns with food additives, untrustworthy manufacturer, unsafe food distribution system and overuse of MSG. Overall hazardous perceptions of children's favorite foods were 2.71 out of 4.00. Most respondents believed that the children's favorite foods contained some harmful ingredients or over nutrients, and 69.2% of those respondents knew exactly which ingredients may cause children's health problems. The hazardous perception of chocolate, yogurt, sport drink and fruit drink were low compared to others, whereas hazardous perceptions and accuracy were high in candies, icebars, hamburgers and pizza, In terms of comprehensive countermeasures against unsafe children's foods, the respondents perceived that the establishment of standard amounts of nutrient value and food additives was the most important issue.

The purpose of this study was to compare and analyze the importance and satisfaction of consumer selective attributes by home meal replacement (HMR) types using local ingredients. This study was conducted from December 4 to December 8, 2020. A total of 380 responses organized according to preferred types of HMR (100 for Ready to Eat (RTE), 92 for Ready to Heat (RTH), 88 for Ready to Cook (RTC), 100 for Ready to Prepared (RTP) were used for the final analysis. Statistical analysis was conducted by descriptive analysis, paired t-test, and importance-satisfaction analysis by HMR type. Findings of this study showed significant differences in consumer selective attributes by HMR type. RTE and RTC need to improve quality while RTH needs to improve quality and packaging. Notable selective attributes were quality, packaging, and information. They were located in different quadrants of each HMR type. All other attributes appeared in the same quadrant. Further research is needed to determine differences in quality, packaging, and information for each HMR type. Results of this study provide basic data for developing products and marketing strategies for each type of HMR products using local ingredients.

This study analyzed the effect of purchase competence on purchasing performance when purchasing eco-friendly food ingredients from school nutrition teachers. To this end, 131 copies surveyed for school nutrition teachers in the survey area were used for analysis. As a result of the analysis, the verification of the difference between purchase competence and purchase performance according to the general characteristics of school nutrition teachers showed significant differences according to age. In addition, the general characteristics of nutrition teachers and the effect of purchase competence on purchasing performance had a positive (+) effect on purchasing performance by Attitude, Knowledge, and communication among purchase competence. In this respect, it is judged that it is necessary to form an organic relationship between the supplier of eco-friendly food ingredients and nutrition teachers in school meals.

This study was carried out to investigate the changes in antioxidant activity, and the isoflavone and free amino acid content in fermented tofu of the ingredients of kimchi (red pepper, garlic, ginger, and anchovies) and lactic acid bacteria (Pediococcus acidilactici KL-6) during 24 weeks of fermentation at $20^{\circ}C$. The total polyphenol content of various types of fermented tofu such as the control (tofu with kimchi ingredients mixture), tofu and kimchi ingredients with lactic acid bacteria (TL), and tofu in pre-fermented kimchi ingredients with lactic acid bacteria (TPL) ranged from 156.34 to 165.17 mg/g, showing that TPL was significantly higher in terms of fermentation time (6 weeks) compared to others. The DPPH free radical scavenging activity of TPL (84.11%) was higher than that of the control (76.68%) and TL (78.95%) after 12 weeks fermentation at $20^{\circ}C$. The changes of nitrite scavenging activity and SOD-like activity in the tested tofu showed the same tendency as the DPPH free radical scavenging activity during 14 weeks fermentation TPL showed statistically significant levels of increased antioxidant activity, so we compared the isoflavone and free amino acid content. The isoflavone and free amino acid content of TPL was 2.34 mg/g and 20.81 mg/g after 14 weeks fermentation, respectively.
