  • We have investigated the distribution of major local foods cultivated in Gwangju City and Jeollanam-Do in order to understand the food culture of Honam region. The local foods were divided into 4 classes: agricultural, aquatic, animal and other products. 124 species of local foods, including 51 agricultural products, 50 aquatic products, 6 animal products and 17 others, were identified from this region. In Jeollanam-Do area, the agricultural products have a variety of fruits and vegetables, and aquatic products have fishes. In particular, rice, cucumber, pear, anchovy, oyster, laver, oyster mushroom, shiitake mushroom, and honey were determined as major local foods in Jeollanam-Do area. Note that Mudeungsan watermelon is cultivated in Gwangju, and sweet smelt and cat fish caught only in Sumjin river and Tamjin river area. In recent years, pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima Duchesne), paprika, kiwi and melon were determined as major local foods in Jeollanam-Do. Furthermore, branding strategy of agricultural and animal products can be said to improve. Wild types of aquatic productions, mushrooms and wild edible greens have been decreasing, whereas cultivated production increasing. The kinds of special local foods in Gwangju City and Jeollanamdo area were influenced by geographical, religious and social factors.

  • Song-Gang® bio-stone (SGS) is a microporous crystalline hydrated aluminosilicate which has found various applications because of their very unique physiochemical characteristics such as ion exchange and absorptive-desorptive properties. Significant progress has been made in recent years on applications of these inorganic adsorbents in different industries including agriculture, aquaculture, water and wastewater treatment. This review article intends to summarize the published reports on the applications of SGS in aquaculture industry. SGS application as a feed additive to enhance fish growth and promote their health and nutritional parameters is the most important discussed areas. According to the technical data that are discussed in this review, SGS should be considered as a material with tremendous potential for application in the aquaculture industry. Considerable amounts of research works are under way to explore other opportunities for application of SGS to benefit aquaculture industry.

  • The purpose of this study is to understand the perception of fishery products and processed food of marine products in college students through empirical analysis. 446 questionnaires were used in the analysis. As a result of the empirical analysis, the frequency of consumption of aquatic food was 2~3 times a week, the place of intake was good for taste of home and aquatic foods, respectively. Purchase motifs of processed fish products are easy, the frequency of ingestion is 3 to 4 times a week, the criteria for selection were always consumed, and the taste was considered to be high when purchased. The perception of nutrition and necessity of consumption of aquatic foods was high and radioactivity was low. 133 male students (57.8%) and 98 female students (45.4%) were aware of the aquatic traceability system. The college students generally has a high preference for the taste of marine products and high frequency of consumption, and they recognized that nutritional excellence and necessity were positive. The marketing strategy should be developed by developing proper product considering the age level and sex of consumers. The limitation is that they are college students in Busan and Gyeongsang provinces and coastal areas.

  • As the aging population of the world grows, senior-friendly foods are becoming increasingly popular. In this study, the quality characteristics of domestic commercial senior-friendly foods were investigated and compared to the standard specifications of the Food Code and KS H4897. Herein, 18 samples of domestic commercial senior-friendly foods were utilized to analyze their appearance, physical properties (hardness and viscosity), nutritional value (protein, vitamin, mineral and dietary fiber), digestion rate, and hygiene indicator bacteria. When compared to the hardness standards of the Food Code all 18 samples were found to be satisfactory; however, when compared to the nutritional standard (at least three types of nutrients must be above the minimum), only five products, HG-7, DW-1, PS-1, OH-1 and OH-2, were found to be satisfactory. In addition, when the 18 samples were compared to the Korean Industrial Standard (2020), all 18 products were found to be satisfactory for physical properties and hygiene standards; furthermore, all samples, excluding HB-2, were suitable for nutritional standards (at least one type of nutrient must be above the standard).
