Food consumption pattern between Korea and Japan were compared on the basis of the data from the National Nutrition survey which has been carried out annually in Korea (1969-1988) and in Japan (1950-1988) for the guide of the future food and nutrition policy. Total food intake has been decreased in Japan since 1973. In spite of fluctation of total food intake, there was an increase of food consumption in Korea. The intake of animal food has been increased, while that of vegetable food decreased, in both countries. Proportion of the total food intake from animal sources of Japanese in 1988, 25.3%, was greater than that of Koreans, 20%. The intakes of cereal and grain products have been decreased in both countries, but the amount of these food groups consumed by Koreans was 70 to 80g more than that by Japanese in 1988. When the animal food intake was compared, intakes of meats, fishes, shellfish and eggs have been increased considerably in Korea. Intakes of milk and milk products and meat have been increased, while those of fishes, shellfishes and eggs kept an even level since 1975, in Japan. According to changes of the national standards of height and weight in both countries, the average height has been increased greatly from 1970 to 1980 in Korea, and the tendency was the same for the average weight.

This study was carried out to develop the breed-specific DNA markers for breed identification of Korean native goat meat using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP)-PCR techniques. The genomic DNAs of Korean native goat, imported black goat and four dairy goat breeds(Saanen, Alpine, Nubian and Toggenburg) were extracted from muscle tissues or blood. Genomic DNA was digested with a particular combination of two restriction enzymes with 4 base(Mse I and Taq I) and 6 base(EcoR I and Hind III) recognition sites, ligated to restriction specific adapters and amplified using the selective primer combinations. In AFLP profiles of polyacrylamide gels, the number of scorable bands produced per primer combination varied from 36 to 74, with an average of 55.5. A total of 555 bands were produced, 149(26.8%) bands of which were polymorphic. Among the ten primer combinations, two bands with 2.01 and 1.26 kb in M13/H13 primer and one band with 1.65 kb in E35/H14 primer were found to be breed-specific AFLP markers in Korean native goat when DNA bands were compared among the goat breeds. In the E35/H14 primer combination, 2.19, 2.03, 0.96 and 0.87 kb bands detected in imported black goat, 2.13 kb band in Saanen breed and 2.08 kb band in Nubian breed were observed as breed-specific bands showing differences between goat breeds, respectively. The E35/H14 primer combination produced four DNA bands distinguished between Korean native goat and Saanen breed. The is study suggested that the breed specific AFLP bands could be used as DNA markers for the identification of Korean native goat meat from imported black goat and dairy goat meats.

Domestic pear has been reported that it contained a pretense, which used for tenderizer of meat, however no researches for optimum level of the enzyme with maximum tenderness effect have been studied. Thus, this study was peformed to determine the optimum level of a protease for meat tenderness. Moisture contents (％) of domestic pears was determined. A pretense was homogenized in a mixer and centrifuged at 10,000 G for 1hr. After taken the supernatant, dialysis was conducted to remove salts and sugars, and freeze-dried. Then, various level (0.05, 0.1 and 0.2％) of the purified pretense were added to pork loins (3cm thickness). Then, pork samples were boiled at 80 for 12 min in a water bath to reach the interval temperature of 71 and chilled in an ice. Moisture contents (％) of domestic pears ranged from 87.2 and 87.8％. No differences in cooking loss of pork meats were observed (p>0.05) among various levels of a pretense. After centrifugation, the protein concentrations of a protease showed from 5.96 $\mu\textrm{g}$/fmL to 7.25 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mL. Increased level of a pretense up to 0.1％ reduced (p<0.05) the shear value (kg/g), however no further reduction of shear value was observed at the level of higher than 0.1％ of the purified pretense. The approximate molecular weight of the pretense analysed by sodium-dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) was 30 kDa. These results suggest that the optimum level of a pretense for the maximum effect of meat tenderness is above 0.1％. Further research will be peformed to determine the effect of various domestic pears and ingredients, such as salt and phosphate, on meat tenderness.

Imitation crab stick samples were made from Alaska pollack with protein recovered from spent laying hens breast meat (C), Alaska pollack with spent laying hens breast recovered protein and cordyceps powder (T1), Alaska pollack with spent laying hens breast recovered protein and silkworm cocoon powder (T2), and Alaska pollack with spent laying hens breast recovered protein and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) (T3). There were no significant differences in moisture, crude protein and crude fat among the imitation crab samples. pH was significantly higher in T2 and T3 compared with C and T1 after 4 weeks of storage. The values of $L^*$, $a^*$, $b^*$, and W (whiteness) in T3 were found to be more stable during storage and W in T3 was significantly higher than other samples. T3 was significantly lower in hardness, brittleness, gumminess and adhesiveness after 4 weeks of storage. Thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBA) values decreased with storage, whereas volatile basic nitron (VBN) values increased with storage periods in all samples. In sensory evaluation, there were no significant differences in color, odor, taste, tenderness, juiciness and overall acceptability among the samples. T3 was significantly lowest in quality among the treated samples.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the status of magnesium, iron, copper and zinc nutrition in 28 normal and 28 obese male elementary school students who have over 30% obesity index. The anthropometric measurements, dietary intakes and serum levels of magnesium, iron, copper and zinc were determined by 24-hr recall method and blood analysis, respectively. The mean age, height, weight, and obesity index were 10.9years, 147.4cm, 61.1kg, and 50.5% in obese group and 10.8years, 145.4cm, 40.2kg, and 3.3% in normal group. There was no significant difference in average daily food intake between obese and normal group, but meats(p＜0.05) intake of obese group was significantly lower than that of normal group. The intakes of energy, magnesium, iron, copper were not significantly difference between obese and normal group, but heme iron(p＜0.05) intake of obese group was significantly lower than that of normal group. Zinc(p＜0.05) intake of obese group was significantly higher than that of normal group. Serum magnesium(p＜0.001) level of obese group was significantly higher than that of normal group, but there were no significant differences in serum iron, copper, zinc levels between obese and normal group. There was a significantly positive correlation between serum magnesium and weight(p＜0.05), and obesity index(p＜0.05). There was a significantly positive correlation between serum magnesium and energy intake(p＜0.05), protein intake(p＜0.05), animal protein intake(p＜0.05), phosphorus intake(p＜0.05) and animal iron intake(p＜0.05). There was a significantly positive correlation between serum magnesium and seaweeds intake(p＜0.05), milks intake(p＜0.001). Also, there was significantly positive correlation between serum copper and oils and fat intake(p＜0.05). These results suggest that there should be careful considerations for micronutrients nutrition status among male obese elementary school students.

This study was carried out to investigate the influence of dietary germanium supplementation on the meat quality of duck. Ducks raised for 42 days were slaughtered and the ground meats were stored at 3$^{\circ}C$ for 12 days under 1200 lux. Experimental treatments were divided into 3 kinds of meat from ducks fed germanium as follows; 1) Control(natural water + commercial feed), 2) T1(1～10 days: natural water + commercial feed, 11-42 days: natural water + commercial feed supplemented with 1 % germanium), 3) T2(1～10 days: germanium submersion water + commercial feed, 11～42 days: natural water + commercial feed supplemented with 1 % germanium). The pH of duck meat was not different among the treatments(p>0.05). The germanium treatments exhibited significantly higher crude fat content in both breast and thigh meat(p<0.05). In the fatty acid composition, T2 contained more unsaturated fatty acid than control or Tl. TPA(textural profile analysis) value such as hardness, gumminess, chewiness and adhesiveness decreased in meat from duck fed supplemental germanium. Cholesterol contents of duck meat decreased in dietary supplemental germanium treatment compared to control, but were not significantly different among them(p>0.05). Dietary germanium supplementation affected on lipid oxidation of meat during storage. TBARS of meat from duck fed germanium was lower than that of control(po.05). The CIE L*, b* and h$\^$0/ values of germanium treatments were significantly(p.o5) higher than those of control. Also a* value showed more stable in germanium diet treatment during storage. Therefore, dietary supplemental germanium to duck resulted in light brownish color formation, improvement tenderness and retardation of lipid oxidation of meat during refrigerated storage.

This survey was carried out to study the food habit and several health indicators of 438 persons (male ; 179, female ; 259) aged over 60 years old living in a middle city, The results obtained were as follows. The food habit of male was better significantly than that of female, the eating frequencies of fruits, eggs, meats and fishes, and legumes of male were higher than those of female. The mean weights and heights of both male and female were low in comparison to the Korean standard, but the mean BMIs of both male and female showed normal range and the mean obesity rates of male and female were 3.5％ and 8.2％, respectively, The mean hemoglobin content and hematocrit were 13.1g/100m1 and 39.8% in male, and 12.4g/100m1 and 37.8％ in female, respectively, The anemia rate judged by the WHO level of hemoglobin content was 42.0% in male and 34.7％ in female. The mean systolic and diastolic blood pressures of both male and female showed normal range; But the incidence of hypertension judged by the WHO level was 15. 6% in male and 16.7% in female. The subjects suffering from diseases were 78.2% in male and 86.7% in female. Common diseases were neuralgia, circulatory system diseases, respiratory system diseases, diabetes mellitus, and athritis. There were positive correlations between the score of food habit and body weight, height, hemoglobin content, and hematocrit. And there was a negative correlation between the food habit score and obesity rate. Systolic and diastolic blood pressures were correlated positively to skinfold thickness and the incidence of suffering from diseased.

Raw and cooked pig's head, feet and tails were evaluated for yield, proximate composition, caloric value, and the contents of amino acids, minerals and vitamins. The yields of the raw pig's head, feet and tails were 67.4%, 46.1% and 67.6%, respectively. Corresponding values for the cooked were 54.1%, 34.3% and 47.6% respectively. No significant differences were observed for proximate composition between these samples and any other source3 of the meats. The high energy values, 253.8-310.5 Cal/100 g, of the samples were largely due to the fat content. Among the essential amino acids, these products showed a higher lysine, leucine and threonine content, and lower methionine and tryptophan content. The total amounts of non-essential amino acids were more than half of those of all amino acids. Neither the raw nor the cooked pig's head, feet and tails contained vitamin A. On these data, pig's head, feet and tails tissue have a relatively low in vitamin B content as compared to conventional pork cuts.
