Purpose - The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of 'delivery service quality' of online fresh food shopping malls on 'e-satisfaction' and 'repurchase intention' of online customers. Research design, data, and methodology - To demonstrate the relationship between the delivery service quality of online fresh food shopping mall and the e-customer satisfaction and repurchase intention, the research model was designed with 5 sub-factors (promptness, accuracy, economy, safety, information) based on the contents of previous studies. The data collection is conducted with sampling survey. The participants are customers who have visited, purchased and received their orders within the last 6 months in online fresh food shopping malls. This study analyzed collected data, then confirmed and finalized the hypothesis by using IBM SPSS Statistics 21.0 statistical program. Results - Hypothesis 1: The service quality of online fresh food shopping mall will have a statistically significant effect on online customers' e-customer satisfaction.

The average number of total aerobic bacteria and coliforms in Mille-feuille Nabe was 3.27 log CFU/g and 1.27 log CFU/g, respectively, in meat, and 6.66 log CFU/g and 2.94 log CFU/g, respectively, in vegetables. The average number of total aerobic bacteria and coliforms in fresh spring rolls was 3.82 log CFU/g and 1.93 log CFU/g in meat, and 5.62 log CFU/g and 3.31 log CFU/g in vegetables, respectively. Escherichia coli was detected in bok choy and perilla leaves, with an average of 0.86 log CFU/g. Salmonella spp. and E. coli O157:H7 were not detected in any of the samples; however, Listeria monocytogenes was detected in all three beef samples.

In the post-COVID-19, the food industry is rapidly reshaping its market structure toward online distribution. Rapid delivery system driven by large distribution platforms has ushered in an era of online distribution of fresh seafood that was previously limited. This study surveyed 1,000 consumers nationwide to determine their online seafood purchasing behaviors. The research methodology used factor analysis of consumer lifestyle and Heckman's ordered probit sample-selection model. The main results of the analysis are as follows. First, quality, freshness, selling price, product reviews from other buyers, and convenience are particularly important considerations when consumers purchase seafood from online shopping. Second, online retailers and the government must prepare measures to expand seafood consumption by considering household characteristics and consumer lifestyles. Third, it was analyzed that consumers trust the quality and safety of seafood distributed online platforms. It is not possible to provide purchase incentives to consumers who consider value consumption important, so improvement measures are needed. The results of this study are expected to provide implications on consumer preferences to online platforms, seafood companies, and producers, and can be used to establish future marketing strategies.

식품관련 시장조사 기관인 Food marketing Instittue에 따르면, 미국전체의 식료품체인 가운데 25%가 최소한 온라인 쇼핑을 운영하고 있다. Safeway, Albertsons 등 대형 수퍼마켓 체인들이 연이어 온라인 시장에 참가했고, Melon Seed, FreshDirect.com 등 신규업체도 참가했다. 2002년 5월 Safeway.cm을 설립한 Safeway는 동년 7월에 8번째 점포를 시애틀에 오픈하는 등, 온라인 비즈니스를 확대했다. 최근 할인매장, 드러그 스토어 둥에 일부 시장을 잠식당하고 있는 이들 전통적인 수퍼마켓 체인들은 고객의 이탈을 막기 위해 비록 소수이기는 하지만 고객의 온라인 수요에 대응할 필요성이 있다고 생각하기 때문이다. 본고의 목적은 미국의 식료품 온라인 쇼핑에서 발생하고 있는 여러 문제점을 지적하는 것이다. Webvan이 Dot Com의 실패를 예증하는데 사용되는 주요한 전자상거래 비즈니스이다. 오늘날 온라인 쇼핑 비즈니스의 도전을 보여주고 이익을 낳기 위해 취해야 할 조치를 논의하기 위해 온라인 쇼핑 밴더가 참조되고 있다. 또한 본고는 미국의 Vons.com, Peapod.com 그리고 Safeway.com과 같은 온라인 식료품 쇼핑 비즈니스에서 나타나고 있는 추세, 신규 영업자 및 잔존 영업자들의 특성과 온라인 식료품 쇼핑업자들의 성장에 필요한 요인들에 관해서도 논하였다.

This study investigated the quality characteristics and microbial hazards of commercial garlic available in supermarkets, traditional markets, and online shopping malls. Total bacterial counts were 2.55 log CFU/g in whole garlic and 5.20~7.40 log CFU/g in processed garlic, possibly due to contamination during processing. The total bacterial count from garlic purchased in supermarkets was below 5 log CFU/g, while garlic purchased in traditional markets and online shopping malls had counts of 3.87~6.34 and 3.73~6.11 log CFU/g, respectively. Thus garlic purchased at supermarkets appears to be more hygienic than garlic from traditional markets or online shopping malls. Some garlic purchased from supermarkets also had a lower pH (4.96~5.17) compared to fresh chopped garlic (7.4~7.5), likely due to the addition of citric acid and ascorbic acid, to reduce microbes and prevent browning. The moisture content of chopped garlic was 61.92~89.32%, with moisture content in imported garlic from China above 75%. The L, a, and b color values were 52.63~64.47, -3.74~8.75, and 10.67~17.88, respectively. The a and b values of supermarket garlic (-3.74~-3.20 and 10.67~13.90) were lower due to the addition of citric acid.
