  • This study was intended to outline the characteristics of the food culture in the area of Kyungsangnamdo and its modernization by interpretation and analysis of the novel Toji, which was set in Hadong, Jinjoo in the area of Kyungsangnamdo in the early 20th century. The characteristics of the Kyungsangnamdo area's native dish during the Japanese ruling era in the latter half of the Choson dynasty are as follows. In the first part of the novel, which spans from 1897 to 1908, vegetable and grain food development can be seen in the area of Hadong, the interior plains of Kyungsangnamdo, where there is a typical farming village in the mountains. The second part of the novel, which spans from 1911 through 1917, includes some mentions of the properties of Kyungsangnamdo area's native dishes through the lens of emigrated Koreans living on Gando island. Gando island is in China, and is where Seohee, the heroine, escapes from her homeland and remains for a period of years. There is a unique type of seafood in the Gando area using fresh marine products, exactly the same as in the Kyungsangnamdo area. The third part of the novel spans 1919 through 1929, after Seohee returns to her own country and regains her house. There is a noticeable description of food culture in the area of Jinjoo in Kyungsangnamdo through the description of Seohee focusing on the education of her children. The well-described features of Jinjoo are boiled rice with soup of beef leg bones and Jinjoo bibimbob, with vegetables and a variety of foods using cod. Cod are caught in large quantities in Kyunjgsangnamdo, and cities in the area grow to medium size as the area became traffic-based. The fourth part of the novel spans from 1929 through 1938, and includes very detailed descriptions of characters and background locations. Salted fish combined with the wild ingredients of Mt. Jiri feature prominently in the Kyungsangnamdo's area descriptions. The fifth part spans from 1940 through 1945, and as the Japanese colonization era ends, the foods described in Kyungsangnamdo seem to develop the usage of soybean paste. With abundant fish and shellfish Kyungsangnamdo, the dishes that evolve to use soybean paste include mussel soybean paste soup, picked bean leaves in soybean paste, chaitgook - cold soup from soybean paste, and seolchigook used with seaweed and sea laver.

  • Food irradiation is an emerging technology which offers many advantages such as reduction of microorganisms, extension of shelf-life of foods, reduction in the use of post-harvest chemicals, and destruction of insects and parasites. The commercial utilization of food irradiation, however, has been restricted because of the uncertainty of consumers' responses to it. Because success of food irradiation in the marketplace will depend upon their acceptability by consumers, this study focused on the consumers' perception and acceptance toward food irradiation in order to get basic data for commercial utilization of food irradiation and give information to consumers to help rational consumption behavior. The survey with 411 respondents living in Youngnam area was conducted during the spring of 1997 by the questionnaires. The results and implications from this study are as follows. First, consumers' knowledge about food irradiation is scanty. Two-thirds of respondents in the survey had not heard of irradiated foods and many people confused irradiation with radioactivity. In the willingness to accept food irradiation, one-third of respondents showed a wait-and-see attitude. This result indicated consumers had insufficient information about the irradiation process and nationwide education of food irradiation technology should be undertaken. Second, although the purchase and use of food are very important consumption behaviors, consumer education by mass communication has been rarely done. For the successful commercialization of food irradiation, the information provision by mass communication for the consumers should be made. Third, consumers generally worried about residual pesticide and intended to purchase irradiated foods if radioactivity was not retained in the foods. Therefore, food irradiation could be an alternative method to the use of pesticide Fourth, consumers pointed out that they wanted to extend shelf-life of milk and dairy foods, fish and seafood and to irradiate these foods. Therefore, research for the safety of irradiated foods should be continually conducted. finally, labeling for irradiated foods is needed to provide the information and to further increase public understanding. Especially, the labeling should show the definite reason why irradiation is being used. In conclusion, recently, under the circumstances that the commercial utilization of food irradiation and irradiation for the import and export products have been increased in many countries, many efforts are needed to improve the quality of irradiated foods, and prove the safety of them in Korea. In addition, consumer education for food irradiation should be given to help consumers to make decision for food purchase and use.

  • In an attempt todetermine the optimum heat treatment, the changes in TIS content and in vitro protein digestibility of squid, shrimp, oysterand pollock under various heating conditions were studied. The effect of drying method and cold storage on the in vitro digestibility and TIS content were also studied. Optimal boiling conditions were 1 min, for squid, 0.5min. for oyster(eviscerated), 1 min. for whole oyster, and 5 min. for pollock. Steaming times that yieled products with the highest in vitro digestibility value were: 1 min. at $100^{\circ}C$ for squid, 1 min, at $88^{\circ}C$ for oyster and $1{\sim}2.5min$. at $100^{\circ}C$ for pollock. All of freeze dried samples showed the highest in vitro digestibility value and sundried one were comparble to freeze dried samples except high fat level or noneviscerated samples. Fat content was the nain inhivbitory factor of the seafood enzymic digestion during processing and storage. The multi-enzyme assay, used to predict the quality change of dried seafoods stored in a cold room for long periods of raw seafoods treated with various heating methods, offers many advantages over the convetional methods of determining protein quality.

  • Gel properties of recovered protein from mackerel, frozen blackspotted croaker, chicken breast and pork leg using acidic and alkaline processing were evaluated. Myofibrillar protein from mackerel by acidic processing did not form a heat-induced gel. However, the recovered protein including sarcoplasmic protein formed heatinduced gel. Breaking force of gel from mackerel processed at pH 10.5 was the lowest. A deformation value of frozen blackspotted croaker was the highest, followed by chicken breast, pork leg and mackerel. Whiteness of frozen blackspotted croaker was the highest among heat-induced gel. Breaking force, deformation and whiteness were decreased by addition of recovered protein from mackerel, but price was increased. A breaking force and whiteness of heat-induced gel added recovered protein from chicken breast were increased, and the price was greatly decreased. When the constraint of breaking force, deformation and price of raw material were set up above 110 g, 4.5 mm and below 2,000 won/kg. A optimum formulation for blending protein was 36∼50% for frozen blackspotted croaker, 34∼40% for chicken breast, 14∼25% for pork leg. The heat-induced gel of recovered protein from frozen blackspotted croaker showed compact structure compared to that of recovered protein from mackerel. A formulation of chicken breast and pork leg based on blackspotted croaker can be used in surimi based seafood products having various texture.

  • As a part of basic investigation for utilizing of cuttle bone as a calcium source, we examined on the extraction methods (calcining at $800^{\circ}C$ for 2 hrs, autoclaving at $121^{\circ}C$ for 10 hrs and ultrasonic treatments at $60^{\circ}C$ for 10 hrs) as a pretreatment methods for preparation of calcium-based powder from cuttle bone, The color of calcined calcium-based powder from cuttle bone was white, while that treated by other methods was light yellow. The calcium content in calcined calcium-based powder was $70.5\%$, and revealed high about 2 times compared to those pretreated by other methods. And, calcium solubility in calcined calcium-based powder was improved 22 times compared to raw cuttle bone powder, Among calcining, autoclaving and ultrasonic treatments as a pretreaoent methods for preparation of calcium-based powder from cuttle bone, calcining treatment was superior to other methods on the aspect of color, calcium solubility and purity of calcium-based powder, Judging from X-ray diffraction pattern of calcined calcium-based powder, most of calcium was present as a form of calcium oxide, But, pH of calcined calcium-based powder revealed strong alkali of pH 12.9. This pH value might invoke health risk in using food resource. Therefore, for utilization effectively calcined calcium-based powder from cuttle bone, it requires a suitable treatment such as adjustment of pH to neutral condition.

  • This study was conducted to get a knowledge on food components of cuttle bone (CB) as a food resource. The yields and ash contents of CB were about $7.5\%$ on whole cuttle fish and about $90\%$ on dry basis, respectively, The contents of heavy metal might not invoke health risk in using food resource, The major mineral of CB was calcium as about $22\%$ in content. The yields, proximate compositions, heavy metal and mineral contents were not significantly different between domestic and imported CB. Judging from X-ray diffraction pattern, most of calcium in CB was present as a form of calcium carbonate (CC), and scanning electron micrograph showed irregular form. Buffering capacity of CB showed strongly at pH 7, and its pattern was the same as shown in that of CC, And CB solution showed a very high degree in turbidity comparing to that of CC solution. The solubility of CB was superior to that of CC, but inferior to those of calcium powders on the market, It was concluded from above results that CB could be effectively utilized as a calcium source.

  • Purpose - This is a comparative study of the market development and characteristics of Ulsan in South Korea, Fukuoka in Japan, and Yanji in China, which are major East Sea Rim cities with adjacent areas of similar natural characteristics of the sea and the country. Particularly, it considers these aspects while focusing on the evolution of networks that appear in the distribution system and at the same time examining the institutions of market activation and regulations that are handled by the central and the local government and the changing logistics due to the development of transportation and the concern of food safety, using a meso-analysis approach. Research design, data, and methodology - The study used a historical and comparative approach with a focus on case studies. It made use of various materials such as local newspaper articles, reports, literature, interviews with experts, discussions with local merchants, discussions with customers, and so forth. Results - In the case of Fukuoka, from the 1960s, due to the entry of supermarkets, supermarkets expanded and they have now come to a dominant market position in the current market. They offer a convenient and comfortable environment while providing a large mall offering a variety of educational and cultural activities for customers to meet the customers' needs, such as the preferences of Korean tourists, who appear to prefer Japanese foods. The Fukuoka City Central Wholesale Market has been exporting fruits and vegetables as well as seafood products to Korea, China, and so forth. In the case of Ulsan, as in the early 2000s, due to the expansion of supermarkets, the traditional markets have been shrinking and further, the modernization of traditional markets was conducted under the auspices of the Small Business Administration. In addition to the large discount malls, the expansion of SSM is expected to further drive the small trader bay. Shopping malls, department stores, and traditional markets contend with each other in Yanji, China, but a large number of citizens appear to prefer traditional markets and imported milk in the supermarket after the melamine scandal in China. Recently, the WanYuan (萬源) wholesale market has been partially completed and made an attempt to become a logistics hub in Northeast Asia. Conclusions - For the development of Korea's retail industry, it is important to offer the government with proposals regarding desired regulation. On the other hand, in order to enable the business of traditional markets, it requires an association for cultural tourism. At present, it would be better to provide a venture fund for the youth rather than infrastructure support. This study emphasizes the importance of institutions and policy to develop networks in the East Sea Rim. Future studies should conduct a survey on customers, managers, and merchants more carefully and systematically to understand the market situation while considering the size of the city and its evolution of markets, as well as policies and institutions.

  • An objective index for quality estimation of anchovy sauce, our traditional seafood, has been required because inadequate standard causes dispute about quality estimation. Qualities of anchovy sauce made by traditional method and commercial anchor sauce products were compared by investigating their proximate compositions, total nitrogen contents, amino acid contents, development and level of a specific peptide on SDS-polyacrylamde gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and isoelectric point (pI) of the specific peptide. Also, pIs of IEF were attemped to identify fish species of salt-fermented sauces. The 55,600 and 46,900 dalton of peptide band were identified in all experimental samples. Especially, the area of 55,600 dalton was closely correlated with total nitrogen contents. Also, specific pIs in accordance with fish species were identified. The results suggest that correlation between area of 55,600 dalton and total nitrogen contents are used of index for quality estimation, and specific pIs are used of fish species identification.

  • Processing of collagen from yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) abdominal skins was optimized by response surface methodology and central composite design. The values of independent variables at optimal conditions were NaOH concentration: 0.5 N, NaOH treatment time: 36.2 hr, pepsin concentration: 1:4.9 ratio (0.245%, w/v), and digestion time: 48.1 hr, respectively. The collagen content estimated under optimal conditions was 33.1%, and the actual experimental collagen content was 32.3%. Physicochemical properties of collagen from yellowfin tuna abdominal skin were investigated by amino acids analysis, SDS-PAGE, FT-IR, viscosity and denaturation temperature. Amino acids content of the collagen was 21.0%. SDS-PAGE pattern of the collagen showed two different $\alpha$-chain (${\alpha}_1$- and ${\alpha}_2$- chain), $\beta$-component and $\gamma$-component. The spectrum of FT-IR of the collagen showed wavenumber at 3,434, 1,650, 1,542 and $1,235\;cm^{-1}$ representing the regions of amide A, I, II and III, respectively. Relative viscosity of the collagen decreased continuously on heating up to $32^{\circ}C$, and the rate of decrease was retarded in the temperature range of $35-50^{\circ}C$. Denaturation temperature (Td) of the collagen solution (0.06%, w/v) was $31^{\circ}C$ and was lower than calf skin collagen ($35^{\circ}C$).

  • For useful basic data in developing of Omandungi (Styela plicata) processed products, volatile flavor compounds were analyzed to identify the key reaction flavor compounds induced through heat treatment ($100^{\circ}C$, 10 min) in Omandungi -Doenjang (soybean paste) soups and stew. A total of 128 flavor compounds were identified and composed mainly of esters (16), aromatic compounds (14), N-containing compounds (11), alcohols (34), terpenes (5), carbonyl compounds (23), furans (4), hydrocarbons (13), acids (5) and miscellaneous compounds (3). Three groups including aromatic compounds, alcohols and acids were detected in high amounts in Doenjang. However, the levels of C4-C6 series acids (i.e., pentanoic acid having off-flavor) decreased by cooking ($100^{\circ}C$, 10 min), whereas that of furans (i.e., furfural) as heat induced compounds increased 2 times. Alcohols were detected the major group in Omandungi and followed by hydrocarbons and aromatic compounds in that order. In particular, 3 compounds including decenol, 2,6-dimethylheptanol and octanol were the major alcohols of Omandungi. By cooking, the compounds known heat-induced compound, 2-acetyl-2-thiazoline and benzothiazole, were newly formed in Omandungi-Doenjang stew. The alcohols (i.e., decenol, 2,6-dimethylheptanol), hydrocarbons and aromatic compounds derived from Omandungi were supposed to enhance a seafood-like flavor in Omandungi-Doenjang stew.
