This study was conducted to evaluate the consumers' preferences and perceptions on the salad and its dressings, via a total of 401 subjects in the Taegu area on the basis of 5-point Likert scale. Anthropometric data included the total subjects consisted of 66 females and 335 males: categorized by age, 20's (103), 30's (135). 40's (83), over 50's (80), The average size of family was 4.2 persons. According to BMI, 64.8% of the subjects belonged to the normal group. The age group that liked salad most was the 20's group, which was also the group that ate salad most frequently. The salad was perceived as food item which is convenient to eat(3.83), healthy(3.63), easy to prepare(3.73) and delicious(3.61) but rarely as a expensive item(2.44). The ingredients, used for salad preparation included fruits and vegetables(3.19) such as tomato and cucumber. Among the salad dressings, the fruit dressing was preferred the most(4.59), while the mayonnaise the least(3.59). The mayonnaise was perceived as an item with highest calories(4.1), and hardly perceived as a luxury item(2.78). The preference for the fruits dressing was highly correlated with the degree of education(p<0.05), age(p<0.001) and BMI(p<0.001). The higher the degree of education, the lower the level of age group, and the lower the BMI, the higher preference for the fruit salad dressing was demonstrated.

In this study, the quality characteristics of salad dressing prepared with mulberry, Schisandra chinensis, and Discorea powder were evaluated. Salad dressing was prepared with salad base (plain yogurt : mayonnaise : fresh cream = 8:1:1), mulberry, Schisandra chinensis for acidity, and Discorea powder for viscosity (4:4:6:1 or 4:4:6:3). Discorea powder was added at levels of 0, 7, and 18% to the salad dressing. As the concentration of Discorea powder increased, the pH level increased, and acidity decreased. Hunter's color L (lightness) value of salad dressing decreased as the amount of Discorea powder increased. Viscosity increased according to the amount of Discorea powder. Moreover, total phenolic content increased according to the amount of Discorea powder. Further, DPPH antioxidant and hydroxyl radical activity of mulberry salad dressing increased as the amount of Discorea powder increased. Sensory preference test results showed that the salad dressing added with Discorea powder had higher scores for color, flavor, taste, and texture than the control. Regarding overall preference, salad dressing containing 7% Discorea powder had the highest scores among the treatments. From these results, salad dressing containing mulberry, Schisandra chinensis for acidity, and Discorea powder for viscosity could be a functional salad dressing with high antioxidant activity.

The purposes of this study were to establish washing conditions for vegetable salad to reduce the microbial hazard by using sodium hypochlorite solution and eventually to implement HACCP for salad processing. By using the salad production line of Shinkeum Co. located in Gwacheon, Gyunggi-do, salad samples were washed under several washing conditions (chlorine dip period, chlorine concentration, rinse time, etc.) to determine the most effective conditions. The original washing line consisted of 3 baths (100 ppm chlorine water dip, water rinse, and water rinse), each with a capacity of 100 L of tap water and 5 kg of salad. First, the salad samples were washed with 100 ppm of sodium hypochlorite solution for various dip times (3, 6, 9, 12 min); however, only a 1 log- or less-reduction in total microbial counts was achieved in all groups and the time of chlorine water dip was not a significant factor in reducing the microbial hazard. When another water bath was added before the chlorine water dip (4-bath washing), a 2 log-reduction in total microbial counts was achieved. This result suggested the importance of pre-dipping salad materials in water before chlorine treatment to reduce the organic load on the surface of the vegetables. Coliforms were not detected at all after washing. As the concentration of chlorine $(50{\sim}150\;ppm)$ and rinse time $(0.5{\sim}2\;min)$ increased, greater microbial reduction was achieved; however, physical damage of the salad was observed. Finally, the optimum washing conditions for salad were determined as 3 min-water dip, 3 min-chlorine (100 ppm) dip, 2 min-rinse, and 2 min-rinse.

Six kinds of spirulina added dressing $(0\~1.09\%)$ were prepared and their rheological, physical and sensory characteristics were evaluated The hardness and adhesiveness of spirulina-added salad dressing were increased with the added amounts of spirulina. Viscosity of spirulina-added salad dressing was not significantly different up to $0.28\%$ whereas that of dressing added more than $0.55\%$ spirulina significantly increased, compared with that without spirulina. Emulsion stability of all of spirulina-added salad dressings was $40\%$ Antioxidant activities of spirulina-added salad dressing increased with spirulina increased: $IC_{50}$ values of DPPH radical scavenging activity and lipid peroxidation inhibition activity of $0.28\%$ added-dressing were 104.98 mg/mL and $6.71{\mu}g/mL$ of TBARS, respectively, which were higher than those of mayonnaise. The fat globule size of $0.28\%$ spirulina-added salad dressing was distributed within $0.5\~4.0{\mu}m$, of which $85.6\%$ of total fat globules were consisted of the size of less than $1.5\{\mu}m$. Total microbial number of salad dressing was 6.2log(CFU/mL), but E coli was not detected Sensory preference test of spirulina-added salad dressing showed that scores of appearance, flavor, viscosity and over-all preference for $0.28\%$ added-dressing were the highest with 7.83, 7.50, 5.33 and 7.97, respectively. Based on these results, spirulina-added salad dressing might have heath promoting effect showing antioxidant activity, and the most appropriate concentration of spirulina for salad dressing was $0.28\%$.

Purpose: This study was to evaluate the microbiological quality of salads in lunchbox's based on the holding time and temperature at convenience and franchise stores. Methods: Cabbage salad and crab meat salad were targeted for microbiological quality assessment. They were tested for aerobic plate counts, coliforms, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Enterobacteriaceae and assessment were performed by Korean Food Standards Codex. Results: In cabbage salad at convenience franchise store's at $5^{\circ}C$, the aerobic plate counts did not exceed the Korean Food Standards Codex. For cabbage salad stored at $25^{\circ}C$, the aerobic plate counts was 5.08 log CFU/g we hours after purchase, which exceeded the Korean Food Standards Codex. In case of cabbage salad in franchise store, the E. coli and S. aureus count exceeded Korean Food Standards Codex 3 hours after purchase. Microbiological analysis did not exceed the Korean Food Standards Codex at $5^{\circ}C$ in crab meat salad in convenience store. At $25^{\circ}C$, the aerobic plate count was detected at 4.45 log CFU/g after 32 hours, coliforms, E. coli, and S. aureus did not detect, but Enterobacteriaceae was found to be 2.34 log CFU/g after 9 hours in franchise store's crab salad. Coliforms was detected at 1.18 log CFU/g after 3 hours, and S. aureus was detected at 2.04 log CFU/g after 6 hours at $25^{\circ}C$ in the franchise store. The lunchbox' salad under cold storage ($5^{\circ}C$) generally meet the Korean Food Standards Codex. Conclusion: The results indicate an urgent need to implement proper management guidelines for the production of lunchbox foods to ensure microbiological safety, and to improve the shelf life from production to consumption.

The retention rate of riboflavin in two cooked vegetable salads (spinach salad and sesame leaf salad) were examined at every cooking stage, holding temperature and holding time, with various cooking methods, and a better food preparation method developed. The riboflavin contents of the samples were analyzed by HPLC, with fluoresence detection. The changes in the pH and water contents of the samples were measured during the holding stage at various temperatures and times. There were significant differences in the riboflavin contents during the various preparation and cooking processes, such as trimming, washing, boiling and parching etc. The retention rates of the riboflavin with the various holding methods and cooking temperature were also significantly different. The boiling process caused large losses of riboflavin: in the cases of spinach salad and sesame leaf salad these were 78％ and 52％ respectively. The pH and water contents showed faster change during 0-6 hours than during 6-12 hours.

This study was conducted to find an efficient use for mulberry fruit powder (MFP). MFP was added to salad dressing products at concentrations of 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1%, and pH, total acidity, viscosity, color, and emulsion stability were measured and sensory evaluation was conducted. There were no significant differences among salad dressing samples regarding pH, total acidity and moisture content. Salad dressing made with 0.5% MFP showed significantly higher viscosity during storage and made the most stable emulsion. For color, the control sample had the highest L and b values, and these values decreased significantly as the amount of MFP in the sample increased. The control salad dressing had the lowest a value of -3.26, and this value increased significantly as the amount of MFP in the sample increased. Sensory evaluation of salad dressing was performed by a trained consumer panel. The flavor intensity increased as the amount of MFP increased in the salad dressing samples. Sweetness was rated significantly higher as the amount of MFP increased in the samples. The control sample had the lowest sourness and off-flavor, but there was no significant difference compared to the samples containing MFP.
