This study aims to research on the actual state of the ways that the aged people live in Seoul use intentionally or unintentionally to maintain in their health. The aged people selected randomly for the study are 541 men and 902 women who are all more than 65 years old. This survey carried out from April to May in 1980. The results of this study are summed up as follows: 1. The main means of making a living engage was agriculture with the per cent of 57. 3 and next was commerce (11.9%). 2. As for their staple foods, the majority of them eat mixed food of rice and barley, and the rest eat rice or minor-grain mixed rice. As subsidiary foods, vegetables are the most common side dishes (68.9%) and see-weeds (6.7%) are taken by the minority of them. 3. Most of them (74.6%) frequently or occasionally take special health foods to maintaing their health. The most common health food turned out to be tonic liquor to men, while honey to women. 4. The majority of them(23.2% of men and 45.5% women) refrain from drinking and smoking. 5. 39.5 per cent of men and 25.5 per cent of wome) take light exercise such as going up hill and walking. 6. The majority of them undergo routine health check with the per cent of 10.8 or occasioanal health check with the 42.9. As medical treatment, many of them(45.9%) take Chinese remedies, western remedies(39.1%) and folk remedies (15.0%). 7. Many of them (66.0%) feel subjective symptoms about some geriatric diseases such as neuralgia, hypertension and cough. 8. Many of them (63.2%) free from mental trouble, while 17.7 per cent of them appeal to no job to do, 10.0 per cent of alienation and 9.1 per cent of domestic troubles. 9. Their subjective judgements of their secrets of health and longevity attach more importance to leading a regular life. 10. Most of them want to be served appropriate medical care, rest place, health consultations, etc. All these results reveal that health and longevity of the aged people are maintained by necessary cares and efforts, not by accident nor by apathy. It is thus highly desired tha tmany studies, enlightments and nationwide support about this problem be carried out in future.

Alternaria is a ubiquitous fungal genus, widely distributed in the environment and a range of different habitats. It includes both plant pathogenic and saprophytic species, which can affect crops in the field or cause post-harvest spoilage of plant fruits and kernels. Numerous Alternaria species cause damage to agricultural products including cereal grains, fruits and vegetables, and are responsible for severe economic losses worldwide. Most Alternaria species have the ability to produce a variety of secondary metabolites, which may play important roles in plant pathology as well as food quality and safety. Alternariol (AOH), alternariol monomethyl ether (AME), tenuazonic acid (TeA), tentoxin (TEN) and altenuene (ALT) are considered the main Alternaria compounds thought to pose a risk to human health. However, food-borne Alternaria species are able to produce many additional metabolites, whose toxicity has been tested incompletely or not tested at all. Both alternariols are mutagenic and their presence in cereal grain has been associated with high levels of human esophageal cancer in China. TeA exerts cytotoxic and phytotoxic properties, and is acutely toxic in different animal species, causing hemorrhages in several organs. The possible involvement of TA in the etiology of onyalai, a human hematological disorder occurring in Africa, has been suggested. Altertoxins (ALXs) have been found to be more potent mutagens and acutely toxic to mice than AOH and AME. Other metabolites, such as TEN, are reported to be phytotoxins, and their toxicity on animals has not been demonstrated up to now. Vegetable foods infected by Alternaria rot are obviously not suitable for consumption. Thus, whole fresh fruits are not believed to contribute significantly with Alternaria toxins to human exposure. However, processed vegetable products may introduce considerable amounts of these toxins to the human diet if decayed or moldy fruit is not removed before processing. The taxonomy of the genus is not well defined yet, which makes it difficult to establish an accurate relationship between the contaminant species and their associated mycotoxins. Great efforts have been made to organize taxa into subgeneric taxonomic levels, especially for the small-spored, food associated species, which are closely related and constitute the most relevant food pathogens from this genus. Several crops of agricultural value are susceptible to infection by different Alternaria species and can contribute to the entry of Alternaria mycotoxins in the food chain. The distribution of Alternaria species was studied in different commodities grown in Argentina. These food populations were characterized through a polyphasic approach, with special interest in their secondary metabolite profiles, to understand their full chemical potential. Alternaria species associated with tomato, bell pepper, blueberry, apples and wheat cultivated in Argentina showed a surprisingly high metabolomic and mycotoxigenic potential. The natural occurrence of Alternaria toxins in these foods was also investigated. The results here presented will provide background for discussion on regulations for Alternaria toxins in foods.

Varieties of the cereals produced in the Biblical times and the ways these cereal foods have been grafted into Korean food culture has been pursued, and the regulations of agricultural life and the metaphors or parables of cereals represented throughout the Bible have been studied. The word "grain" appears eight times in the KJV and one hundred seventeen times in the RSV. On the other hand, the word "corn" shows up one hundred and one times in the KJV but not in the RSV at all. Wheat, one of the earliest cultivated and the most important grains for food is mentioned fifty two times in KJV and generally the rich in those days lived on wheat in the parched state or in the form of bread. Barley, one of the staple cereal crops of Palestine is referred to thirty six times in the KJV. It was less expensive than wheat and so was used mainly for the food of such animals as horses, donkeys and cattle, but sometimes it was mixed with flour and used for making bread for men, mostly for Poor men. The spelt (in ASV and RSV) and the rie(in KJV) appearing in Exodus 9:32 is a kind of grain, which is translated into Na-mack (in Hangul Revised Bible ; HRB), Ssal-bori (in Hangul Common Translated Bible : HCB) and Ho-mil (in Hangul King James Bible; HKJB) but which should be put into Spelt-mil in Korean. The lentil appearing in Genesis 25 : 34 is translated into Pat (red-bean) and Bul-kong respectively in HRB and HCB but the same word in the Second Book of Samuel is translated into Pat in both HRB and HCB. HCB translates lentil into Bul-kong in Genesis and into Pat in the Second Book of Samuel (23:11). HCB and HKJB which put lentil into Pat in previous parts translate the word into Nok-tu in the Second Book of Samuel. The word, lentil here should be put into lentil-kong and parched pulse into "Poken-Chong-ja" not into Poken-Nok-tu. Millet which is translated into Cho should be put into Gui-jang. filches should not be classified as a grain or a cereal but as a flavor or a condiment, so the word filches should be put into So-Hoi-hyang or Hoi-hyang. Regulations in reference to agriculture are included in the Bible. That is, it is seen that the Bible regulates the observance of the sabbatical year and feasts, the partition of land, how to sow and so on. It is also observed that grains are used for metaphors or parables: wheat represents the peaceful times and straws are compared to trifles. As seen above, there should be more prudent examinations and standards for the translation of grains into Pat, Pul-kong, Nok-tu, Gui-ree, Ssal-bo-ri and Na-mack.i-ree, Ssal-bo-ri and Na-mack.

Purpose: This descriptive study aimed to compare the perception of the acceptable foods for the neutropenic diet between nurses and patients by food type. Methods: The participants were 225 nurses working at chemotherapy wards and 71 patients in chemotherapy treatment. Data were collected with a self-administered questionnaire from January 2 to February 24, 2012, and analyzed with SPSS 12.0 program using descriptive statistics and the ${\chi}^2$-test. Results: Eighty-eight point eight percent of nurses and 76.1% of cancer patients thought the patients needed the neutropenic diets. The most important decisional criteria to determine dietary restriction was neutrophil count for nurses and food type for patients. The two groups showed significantly different allowance to raw fruits and raw vegetables, sterilized canned juice, fried vegetables, yogurt, uncooked tofu, salted fish, cooked fish, cooked shellfish, uncooked grain powder, jellified food, home-made bread/cookies, nuts including peanuts, instant coffee or tea and tea brewed. In general, patients were more permissive about the neutropenic diet than nurses. Conclusion: It is recommended to consider patients' preference as well as nurses' professional knowledge and publish standardized clinical diet guidelines for neutropenic patients with collaboration between nurses and patient representatives.

Purpose: Fungal secondary metabolite (mycotoxin) contamination in foods can pose a serious threat to humans and animals. Spectroscopic techniques have proven to be potential alternative tools for early detection of mycotoxins. Thus, the aim of this review is to provide an overview of the current developments in nondestructive food safety testing techniques, particularly regarding fungal contamination testing in grains, focusing on the application of spectroscopic techniques to this problem. Methods: This review focuses on the use of spectroscopic techniques for the detection of fungi and mycotoxins in agricultural products as reported in the literature. It provides an overview of the characteristics of the main spectroscopic methods and reviews their applications in grain analysis. Results: It was found that spectroscopy has advantages over conventional methods used for fungal contamination detection, particularly when combined with chemometrics. These advantages include the rapidness and nondestructive nature of this approach. Conclusions: While spectroscopy offers many benefits for the detection of mycotoxins in agricultural products, a number of limitations exist, which must be overcome prior to widespread adoption of these techniques.

노화에 따라 비타민 $B_{12}$의 흡수율이 떨어지고, 노년기의 비타민 $B_{12}$ 부족은 심혈관질환과 위암의 발생율 상승과 인지기능의 저하 등과 관련성이 있다는 보고가 있어 그 중요성이 새롭게 인식되고 있으나 국내의 식품 내 비타민 B12 분석 자료는 크게 부족하여 섭취량 계산에 많은 어려움이 있었다. 특히, 우리나라 고유 발효 식품인 장류와 김치류, 그리고 다른 나라에 비하여 많이 섭취하고 있는 해조류 등을 중심으로 일부 한국인 상용식품에서 Lactobacillus delbrueckisubsp. lactis ATCC 7830를 이용한 미생물법으로 인체가 이용할 수 있는 비타민 $B_{12}$ 함량을 분석하였고 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 국산 대두를 이용하여 전통식 방법으로 제조한 된장의 비타민 $B_{12}$ 함량은 1.85 ${\mu}g/100$ g이었으나, 시중 마트에서 구입한 4종의 공장식 된장들은 $0.04{\sim}0.86{\mu}g/100$ g으로 전통식 된장이 공장식 된장보다 비타민 $B_{12}$ 함량이 훨씬 더 높았다. 청국장 역시 전통식 청국장의 비타민 $B_{12}$ 함량은 0.69 ${\mu}g/100$ g인 반면, 마트에서 구입한 2종의 공장식 청국장은 $0.06{\sim}0.15{\mu}g/100$ g을 함유하고 있었다. 그러나, 찐대두와 두부에서는 비타민 $B_{12}$가 검출되지 않아 대두가 발효되는 과정에서 미생물에 의하여 비타민 $B_{12}$가 생성됨을 알 수 있었다. 2) 전통식 고추장의 비타민 $B_{12}$ 함량은 평균 0.11 ${\mu}g/100$ g으로 전통식 된장이나 청국장보다는 낮았지만 일부 공장식 된장이나 청국장의 함유량과 비슷하였다. 3) 국간장은 0.04 ${\mu}g/100$ mL의 비타민 $B_{12}$를 함유하고 있었으나, 진간장에서는 검출되지 않았다. 4) 배추김치는 제조회사가 서로 다른 3종의 상품에서 분석한 결과 비타민 $B_{12}$ 함량은 $0.02{\sim}0.03{\mu}g/100$ g 정도의 비슷한 수준을 보였으며, 열무김치는 0.013${\mu}g/100$ g, 갓김치는 0.02 ${\mu}g/100$ g, 깍뚜기는 0.004${\mu}g/100$ g이었으나, 젓갈과 고추가루를 넣지 않은 백김치에서는 비타민 $B_{12}$가 검출되지 않았다. 따라서, 김치에 함유되어 있는 비타민 $B_{12}$는 김치를 담글 때 넣은 젓갈로부터 왔을 가능성이 높다. 김치용으로 상품화된 새우액젓과 멸치액젓은 각각 0.78${\mu}g/100$ mL와 1.52${\mu}g/100$ mL의 비타민 $B_{12}$를 함유하고 있었다. 5) 김의 비타민 $B_{12}$ 함량은 66.76${\mu}g/100$ g dry wt, 파래는 84.74 ${\mu}g/100$ g dry wt (9.41${\mu}g/100$ g wet wt)로 매우 높았으며, 다시마와 미역의 비타민 $B_{12}$ 함량은 각각 0.36${\mu}g/100$ g dry wt와 1.90${\mu}g/100$ g dry wt이었다. 6) 그 밖에, 달걀 전란의 비타민 $B_{12}$ 함량은 1.07${\mu}g/100$0 g (0.54${\mu}g$/개)이었고, 볶음용 마른멸치는 17.12${\mu}g/100$ g이었으며, 커피믹스는 0.02${\mu}g/100$ g (0.0024${\mu}g$/봉)이었으나, 라면에서는 검출되지 않았다. 본 연구에 이용된 식품들의 샘플 수가 충분하지 못하고 선정방법이 다소 객관적이지 못한 부분이 있으나, 이를 바탕으로 국내식품에서 비타민 $B_{12}$ 분석을 지속적이고 체계적으로 진행하여 하루빨리 믿을만한 식품성분표를 확보함으로써 보다 정확한 비타민 $B_{12}$ 섭취량을 계산할 수 있기를 기대한다. 덧붙여, 노인들을 비롯하여 채식위주의 식사를 하는 사람들에 있어서 비타민 $B_{12}$ 부족을 예방하기 위하여 김, 파래, 멸치와 함께 된장이나 청국장을 자주 섭취할 것을 권장한다.

본 연구에서는 공초점 주사현미경(CLSM)을 활용하여 장내 유익균과 국산 통곡물(whole grain) 소재들과의 부착을 통해 생육환경에 있어 도움이 될 수 있는 서식공간을 제공받는 것을 시각화하고, 소재들의 프리바이오틱스 효과를 in vitro 배양을 통해 확인하여 통곡물 소재들로 제조된 프리바이오틱스 팽화식품을 개발하는 것을 목표하였고, 그 결과 장 속에서 장내 유익균 균총을 향상시켜 인체의 건강증진에 유익한 팽화과자 제조에 필요한 기초 자료를 확보하였다. 선정곡물들의 일반성분 함량은 수분이 8.99~12.19%, 조회분 1.34~2.39%, 조단백질 7.34~15.38%, 조지방 1.84~8.12%로 함량이 분석되었고, 불용성 식이섬유 3.08~18.62%, 수용성 식이섬유 0.10~3.13%, 그리고 총 식이섬유 함량 5.26~21.36%로 확인되었다. 곡물분말의 프리바이오틱스 부착여부를 CLSM으로 관찰한 결과 곡물분말과 혼합된 Lactobacillus acidophilus는 곳곳에 산재되어 있었지만, 주변 유동액 층보다 상대적으로 곡물분말 주변에 부착되어 존재하였다. 선정곡물들의 장내 유익균의 증진에 활성 효과가 있음을 검증한 결과 L. acidophilus에서는 찰보리 추출물에서 가장 높은 흡광도 값을 보였다. Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. lactis에서는 귀리 추출물에서 가장 높은 효과를 보였다. Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus에서는 control보다 높은 수치를 보였지만, 두드러진 차이는 보이지 않았다. Bifidobacterium bifidum은 12시간 이후 흡광도 값은 일정하게 유지되었다. 곡물 소재 동결건조 추출물 간의 장내 유익균 활성 정도를 비교한 실험 결과 L. acidophilus에서는 찰보리와 율무에서 가장 높은 생육증진 효과를 보였고 현미를 제외한 다른 곡물 모두 유의한 증진 효과를 보였다. L. delbrueckii subsp. lactis에서는 율무에서 가장 높은 증진 효과를 보였고, S. salivarius subsp. thermophilus에서는 찰보리와 찰수수에서 가장 높은 증진 효과를 보였다. 그리고 B. bifidum에서는 찰보리와 찰기장에서 높은 증진 효과를 보였다. 팽화식품 제조 시 배합에 사용될 6종의 혼합곡물의 장내 유익균 활성 효과를 알아본 결과, 24시간 배양 시 L. acidophilus는 control에 비해 1.72배이상 상승하였고, L. delbrueckii subsp. lactis는 1.89배, S. salivarius subsp. thermophilus는 1.66배 이상, B. bifidum는 1.47배가량 상승한 것으로 분석되었다. 제조된 팽화과자의 색도 측정결과 L값은 치즈맛의 시즈닝 첨가군이 대조군보다 높게 나왔다. a값은 대조군이 적색에 가깝게, 시즈닝 첨가군은 녹색 쪽으로 나타났다. b값은 두 제품에서 크게 유의한 차이를 보이진 않았다. 팽화과자의 경도는 첨가군이 대조군보다 높았고, 바삭거림은 첨가군이 대조군보다 약한 것으로 확인되었다.

This study conducted a survey to analyze awareness, preferences, and the current state of consuming environmentally friendly organic food while eating-out in 435 adults aged 20 and above in Daegu, Korea. Most subjects (95%) showed awareness of environmentally friendly organic food, and 88.5% of subjects answered environmentally friendly organic food is 'needed'. The percentage of eating out for families was 58.9%, and 49.0% of subjects said they eat out one to three times per month on average. In addition, subjects preferred a price range between 10,000 and 20,000 won per person when eating out, and they mostly favored Korean restaurants when ordering environmentally friendly organic food. Analysis of awareness of environmentally friendly organic food showed that among 'health' factors, 'environmental' factors, 'social' factors, and 'dietary essential' factors, 'health' factors showed the highest percentage for awareness. A survey on preferred foods by gender showed that both genders preferred vegetables the most. The results show that subjects in their 20s and 30s favored vegetables and fruits while subjects in their 40s preferred vegetables and grain animal products. Analysis of preferred types of environmentally friendly organic foods showed that men preferred polished rice while women preferred brown rice. Subjects in their 20s and 30s preferred strawberries, whereas those in their 40s preferred cherry tomatoes and those in their 50s and above favored tomatoes (p<0.001). Among root and tuber crops (63.4%), sweet potato was the most preferred. Among fruits, subjects preferred apples while among special crops, they most preferred oyster mushrooms; both genders preferred Korean beef. The most preferred livestock product of subjects in their 20s was pork, whereas subjects in their 30s preferred Korean beef. Subjects in their 40s preferred Korean beef and pork in the same proportions, whereas subjects in their 50s and above favored eggs the most.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the food, nutrient intake, and diet quality of postmenopausal women at high risk of osteoporosis (OP) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) compared with those of control subjects. Methods: A total of 1,131 post-menopausal women aged over 45 years, who took the 2010-2011 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES), were included for analysis. These participants were classified into the following groups: the OP group, with a risk of OP (n=135); the CVD group, with a risk of CVD (n=373); the OP+CVD group, with a risk of OP and CVD concurrently (n=218); and the control group (n=405) according to bone mineral density (BMD) and CVD risk. Anthropometric measurements, blood profiles, dietary intake, and dietary quality indices were measured and compared among the four groups. Results: Waist circumference, total body fat percentage, blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose, total cholesterol, triglyceride, and LDL-cholesterol were higher, and HDL-cholesterol and BMD were lower in the OP+CVD group than in the control group. In the food frequency questionnaire, the OP+CVD group had significantly higher frequencies of grain (except for multi-grain) and lower frequencies of fruit and dairy product. The frequency of consumption of red meat, processed meat, and carbonated beverages was higher in OP+CVD group. In nutrient density analysis, proteins and vitamin $B_2$ levels were significantly lower in the OP+CVD group than in the control group. The nutritional quality index (INQ) values of calcium were in the order of 0.63, 0.58, 0.56, and 0.55 in each group, and it was urgent to improve the dietary intake for calcium in postmenopausal women. In addition, vitamin $B_2$ was inadequately consumed by all groups. Conclusions: These results suggest that it is necessary to increase the intake of vitamin $B_2$ and calcium and decrease the frequency of intake of red meat, processed meat, and carbonated beverages in postmenopausal women with the risk of OP and CVD.
