Changes in characteristics of low-salted Kochujang added with mixed additives (licorice 0.8%, mustard 0.7%, chitosan 2%) were investigated during fermentation for 40 days. There was no significant difference in viable and yeast cell counts and color among all treatments, whereas lactic acid bacteria counts of 6.8% and 5.9% salted Kochujang added with the mixed additives (p<0.05) were significantly lower than that of control. The phenomenon of abnormal fermentation was observed on surface of low-salted Kochujang but not the low-salted Kochujang added with the mixed additives. The level of amino nitrogen in low-salted Kochujang was close to that of 8.5% salted Kochujang at 20 days of fermentation; however, the amino nitrogen content in 5.9% salted Kochujang added with the additives was 1.6 times higher than in 8.5% salted Kochujang at 40 days. In sensory evaluation, 5.9% salted Kochujang with the additives had the highest score in overall palatability. These results indicate that salt contents of Kochujang could be lowered up to 5.9% by addition of the mixture of licorice, mustard and chitosan, resulting in improvement of palatability and shortening of fermentation time.

This study evaluated the grain quality of local brand rice from 6 major rice exporting countries which are anticipated to export their rice to Korea. Recently, with the end of the postponement of rice import tariffs in 2014, Korea is in a very easy environment to import foreign rice. Therefore, the quality evaluation of local brand rice in those countries is needed to secure the quality competitiveness of Korean rice, also to protect the rice industry in Korea. We provided total 38 local brand rice from USA(7), China(16), Australia(4), Thailand(3), Vietnam(5) and India(3), and 2 imported brand rice through MMA from USA and China to find out the status of the grain quality for each country. For the quality evaluation, we analyzed the physicochemical properties, milling and palatability-related characteristics. The amylose content on country average ranged from 24.4(India)~16.2%(Thailand). The protein content was 6.66% by overall average, and was higher in order of India(7.86), Australia(6.80), Vietnam(6.61), Thailand(6.59), China(6.28), USA(5.82). In Toyo glossiness value, it ranged from 75.7~45.2, and the figures in USA and China were the highest level. The head rice ratio ranged from 95.2~72.4%, and the figures in Thailand, USA and China were distinctly high. When we analyze the palatability of boiled brand rice with Chucheongbyeo as check variety by expert panelists, several rice brands from USA and China showed equal or better scores in shape, smell, taste, stickiness, texture and overall score, although most rice brands showed a tendency to decrease significantly in the taste characteristics compared with Chucheongbyeo. From the above results, it can be seen that the grain quality of USA and China rice is very competitive when imported into Korea. The results will provide basic information for the quality control of foreign rice which will be imported into Korea in the near future, also for the quality information which could be applied on the development of high-quality Korean rice varieties. Continuous monitoring about the foreign brand rice is advisable to improve the quality competitiveness of Korean rice.

Six commercial rice varieties were cultivated at different locations in 1987 and 1988. Rice samples harvested from 8 to 20 locations for a variety each year were used to measure or observe grain appearance, amylose content and alkali digestibility, cooked rice texture using rheometer, gelatinization and viscosity of rice flour using amylograph, and eating Quality of cooked rice by sensory evaluation. Relationship between Quality characteristics showing large locational variation were analized to approach the long-term objective, rice grain Quality standardization. Percent white-center and white-belly grain of the same variety showed great variation between locations, but did not affect on 1000-grain weight, amylose content and alkali digestibility, amylogram and rheogram characteristics, and eating Quality of cooked rice. Positive correlationship were obtained between maximum viscosity and break down, and maximum viscosity and alkali digestibility. Set back was correlated negatively with maximum viscosity, break down and alkali digestibility. Rice samples having significantly lower values of maximum viscosity and break down and higher set back value at the same time showed higher ADV and lower texture palatability index (TPI) and viscousness/hardness ratio (Vi/H), and lower sensory evaluation score of cooked rice compared with those of rices having typically higher values of maximum viscosity and break down and lower set back value. When TPI, Vi/H and overall sensory eating score of cooked rices measured were divided into three categories, high, medium and low using deviation from locational mean value of a variety, many of rice samples having high TPI or high Vi/H showed medium or high in overall sensory eating score of cooked rice.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate recognition, dietary attitude and education needs for reducing sodium intakes of dietitian at customized home visiting health service (CHVHS). Methods: The subjects were 75 dietitian at CHVHS. We investigated several variables (recognition, dietary attitude, education needs for reducing sodium intakes) and determined sodium intakes level of subjects as 'low', 'middle' and 'high' by Dish Frequency Questionnaire 25 (DFQ 25). Also, we assessed the differences in recognition, dietary attitude, sodium intake level and education needs by dietitian career period (under 3 yrs vs. over 3 yrs) at CHVHS. Results: In recognition related reducing sodium intake, they showed 'checking a sodium content in nutrition labeling' score 2.5/4.0 and 'perception difference between sodium and salt' score 3.1/4.0. There was no difference in the recognition between under 3yrs' group and over 3yrs' group. In dietary attitude related reducing sodium intake, they showed 'palatability for salty taste' score 0.8/1.0, 'attitude in related soups' 0.7/1.0, 'attitude in related using natural spice' 0.6/1.0. There was a difference in 'attitude in related soups' between under 3yrs' group and over 3yrs' group (0.6 vs. 0.7). In sodium intake level by DFQ 25, they showed 'low group' 41.3%, 'middle group' 41.3% and 'high group' 17.3%. There was no difference in the distribution of sodium intake level by the career. In education needs related reducing sodium intakes, there were 'teaching experience' 93.3%, 'have a difficulty in teaching about reducing sodium intakes' 86.6%, and 'necessity of education for CHVHS dietitians' 100.0%. 'Needed education contents for CHVHS dietitians' were ranked as 'cooking way to reduce sodium intake' 58.7%, 'relation between hypertension and sodium' 17.3%, 'composing way to reduce sodium intake' 17.3%. There was a difference in needed education contents 'relationship between hypertension and sodium' (33.3% vs. 2.6%) and 'The cooking way to reduce sodium intake' (38.9% vs. 76.9%) by the career. Conclusions: The results suggested that a capacity training program for reducing sodium intake may be needed for dietitians at CHVHS to improve health of the community elderly. For effective training program related reducing sodium intake for dietitians at CHVHS, it may be necessary to consider the career period as dietitians at CHVHS.

TMR (total mixed ration) feed was developed by adding mugwort (Artemisia capillaris Thunb.) and was fed to Hanwoo cattle. We investigated the effects of feeding mugwort on the physicochemical properties and sensory scores of the Hanwoo beef, as well as the feasibility of producing beef with high quality and function. Samples included Hanwoo loin fed with fattening cattle TMR feed with (treatment) or without mugwort (control). The content of total catechin in Hanwoo loin fed with the treatment and control was 0.516 and 0.307 mg/kg, respectively, while the content of epicatechin was 0.116 and 0.087 mg/kg, respectively, both of which were significant increase from feeding TMR with mugwort (p<0.05). There was no significant difference between the control and treatment in terms of $b^*$ value, VBN content, EDA, total bacterial numbers, freezing loss, thawing loss, cooking loss, hardness, cohesiveness, gumminess, chewiness, shear force, or sensory score of boiled meat. $L^*$, $a^*$ and pH value for the treatment were significantly higher than the control (p<0.05). TBARS and springiness for the control were significantly higher than the treatment (p<0.05). The aroma of the raw meat and the taste, tenderness, juiciness, and palatability of the roasted meat for the treatment were significantly superior to the control (p<0.05). These results suggest that giving feed containing mugwort inhibits lipid oxidation, increases water holding capacity, and improve sensory scores.

Six commerical rice varieties were cultivated and harvested at different locations in 1987 and 1988 to clarify the degree of locational variations. of several characteristics related to rice grain quality using the rice samples harvested from 8 to 20 locations for a variety each year. Locational variations of percent brown rice, percent milled rice, 1000-grain weight and amylose content were small, but whole grain rate, alkali digestibility, gel consistency, percent white-center and white-belly grain, degree of chalkiness and degree of translucency showed larger variations between locations. The degree of locational variation of sensory evaluation score for eating quality of cooked rice were varied from small to large along with rice variety used and year cultivated. Texture palatability index and stickiness of cooked rice among rheogram characteristics showed larger locational variations, but cohesiveness and springiness showed smaller variations between locations. Set back, break down and maximum viscosity showed larger locational variations among amylogram characteristics of rice flour. Special attention was given to a cultivated location, Anseong, because rice samples harvested at Anseong showed lower percent white-center and white-belly grain, and low set back and high break down in Chucheongbyeo, lower percent white-center and white-belly grain, higher texture palatability index and viscousness/hardness ratio, and low set back and high break down in Dongjinbyeo, higher texture palatability index, and low set back and high break down in Yongmunbyeo, lower percent white-center and white-belly grain in Sangpungbyeo, and low set back and high break down in Samkangbyeo. No other locations in this study produced rice samples showing wide acceptable quality-related characteristics except Anseong.
