Lactose intolerance is a pathophysiological phenomenon caused by a deficiency of the enzyme lactase present in human intestines. Changes in intestinal digestion and colon fermentation after the intake of lactose-containing products cause diarrhea and other clinical discomforts. Therefore, lactose intolerance can be easily ameliorated by consuming lactose hydrolyzed milk and dairy products. In the recent years, lactose-free dairy products have provided lactose intolerant consumers with several options, due to an improvement in the quality and an increase in the variety of products. Currently, the manufacturing of lactose-free products also represents the fastest growing sector in the dairy industry. This review, thus, aims to provide an overview of the current availability and prospects of lactose-free dairy products, and also discuss the potential benefits of the development of a variety of lactose-free dairy foods.

(5) As for the location quotients, food and lodging, fish products, transportation and ware housing are identified as basic industries. Through the questionnaire survey, we also found some important facts: (1) Residents tend to evaluate employment effects higher than the income effects from resort-related development.

Estimation of food consumption details, such as portion size and frequency of consumption, is needed for exposure assessment step in microbiological risk assessment. This study investigated the amounts and frequencies of 50 kinds of consumed livestock products. A quantitative survey was performed by trained interviewers in face-to-face interviews with 1,500 adults aged over 19, who were randomly selected from seven major provinces in Korea. Respondents received a picture of one serving size for each of the 50 livestock products, including meats, processed meat products, milk and dairy products, and eggs and processed egg products. A t-test and general linear model were carried out using SPSS statistics. The most important factor affecting consumption of livestock products was residence area. The most frequently consumed food was milk (2.6 times/week), followed by pork (1.4 times/week), liquid yogurt (1.3 times/week), rolled omelet (1.2 times/week), semisolid yogurt (1.0 times/week), steamed egg (1.0 times/week), ice cream (0.9 times/week), chicken (0.8 times/week), low fat milk (0.7 times/week), and beef (0.6 times/week). In the case of consumption amount, people living in a city consumed meat (beef, pork, chicken, and duck) 1.5 times more than those living in a village, whereas milk and dairy products and eggs and processed egg products were consumed more frequently by people living in a town. When people eat meat, they consume twice the amount of one serving size. Students consumed livestock and processed livestock products more frequently with greater portions all at once. People living in Seoul, Incheon/Gyeonggi, and Busan/Ulsan/Gyeongnam consumed livestock products more frequently in large amounts. Data from this study can be used for risk assessment of livestock and processed livestock products as well as education for safe consumption of livestock products.

In this study, the fermentation and quality characteristics of Greek-style yogurt supplemented with stevia leaf extract during storage were examined. Stevia leaf extract was extracted from dried leaves with hot water and 70% ethanol. The pH decreased significantly in all samples over time during fermentation (p<0.05). In particular, the sharpest decrease was detected in the group in which the hot water extract of stevia was added. Acidity increased significantly over time during fermentation (p<0.05). Lactic acid bacteria counts increased in all samples up to 9 h after the start of fermentation, but decreased after 12 h. The sugar content decreased over time, and there were no major differences between samples. Based on the results of a sensory evaluation, the group treated with stevia extract was rated high in sweetness, but was rated somewhat low in color and flavor. Accordingly, it was rated low in overall acceptability. In a storability experiment, as the days of storage increased, the pH gradually decreased, and acidity showed a tendency to increase. The sugar content showed a tendency to decrease and then increase.
