This study assessed the role of fatty acids on beef preference of 2 consumer groups from South Korea and Australia. Three muscles (longissimus dorsi, triceps brachii, and semimembranosus) were obtained from 36 carcasses (18 Hanwoo steers and 18 Angus steers) and the cooked beef samples were evaluated by 1,080 consumers (720 Korean consumer panels and 360 Australian consumer panels). The cluster analysis showed that the Korean consumers had more significant relationship with fatty acid composition of beef than that of the Australian consumers when evaluated Australian Angus beef Only C20:5(n-3), and C22:5(n-3) affected preference clustering for Australian consumers; while saturated (C16:0 and C 18:0) as well as unsaturated fatty acids [C16:1(n-7), C18:2(n-6), C18:3(n-3), C20:3(n-6), C20:4(n-6), C20:5(n-3), C22:4(n-6), C22:5(n-3)] affected preference clustering for Korean consumers (p<0.05). In the discriminant analysis of Korean consumer's preference clustering, C20:5(n-3) was a significant fatty acid for Australian Angus beef while the C20:4(n-6) and C 18:0 for Korean Hanwoo beef to evaluate the palatability (p<0.05). Therefore, fatty acid compositions impact Korean consumer's preference of beef.

This study assessed effective strategies to reduce the sodium intake among consumers using pork cutlet sauce as a model food system. Original pork cutlet sauce and sodium-reduced sauce (29% reduced by a salt substitute) were analyzed to characterize the sensory properties using descriptive analysis. The effects of sodium-reduction of the sauce, consumer type (nutrition teachers vs. general consumers), information related to the sodium content, serving method, and consumer's health, taste and sodium-related attitudes on the consumer's preference, perception, and intake of the sauce were analyzed using a consumer test. In descriptive analysis, the original and sodium-reduced sauce showed similar sensory characteristics but did not differ in saltiness. In the consumer test, there were no significant differences in the overall preference levels between the two sauces. On the other hand, there were significant differences in preference and perception between nutrition teachers and general consumer groups, which were due largely to their age as well as the health and sodium-related attitudes and nutritional knowledge differences. Sodium-reduced information decreased the perceived saltiness intensity. In addition, reducing sodium intake by serving pork cutlet sauce in a bottle can be an effective strategy because this serving method increased the acceptance and induced the smaller intake of sauce.

This study was initiated to investigate (1) whether consumers preferred a specific garment size labeling system and (2) whether consumer's demographic characteristics, clothing behavior, and body size affect their preference of size labeling systems. The survey of consumer's preferences for five size labeling systems included 443 women with 20 to 64 years of age. The result of the survey showed that the subjects' preferences of five size labeling sysems were different significantly. Subjects strongly preferred the old system rather than the revised systems. The subjects least preferred the system with pictogram(system D) and the system with description of the measuring methods of te control dimensions (system E). The subjects/ preference for various garment size labeling systems was different depending on their resident area, educational level, and body size. The garment size labeling system with more information on body measurements (system C) was preferred by the subjects living in the metro city area or subjects having difficulties on purchasing ready-to-wear garments giving reasonable fit. The simplest size labeling system (system A) was strongly preferred by the subjects of low educational level, or the subjects living in the small city.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of interior color and product volume of clothing shop on consumer's store image and preference for a clothing shop. The research methodology was a survey questionnaire and the subjects were 516 university students in Daejeon, Korea. The measuring instruments were stimuli and self-administrated questionnaire. The stimuli were 7 pictures of clothing shop including interior color and product volume variables, and the self-administrated questionnaire consisted of semantic differential scales for store image, store preference, and subject's demographic attribution. The data were analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, MANOVA, Duncan's multiple range test, based on SPSS program The results were as follows: first, in clothing shop's interior colors affecting store image and preference for clothing shop, white color gave a casual, sophisticated, characteristic, and attractive image to the shops, and brown color gave an elegant, sophisticated image, while black color gave a sophisticated, uncomfortable image, and gray color gave a less positive image to them than other colors. Subjects preferred white, brown, and black color in the order. Second, clothing shop's products volume also affected consumers' store image and preference. Its small volume gave a more sophisticated, elegant image than other volume levels, and subjects preferred small and medium volume of clothing products to their large volume. Third, the effects of shop's interior color and clothes' product volume on store image were different depending on subject's sex. The results revealed that clothing shop's interior color and product volume are important VMD components affecting consumer's store image and preference, and consumer's sex has to be considered to understand the effects of VMD components on clothing shop image.

This study predicts consumer preference for social clothing at work, excluding uniforms using the self-product congruence theory that also establishes a model to predict the preference for recommended products that match the consumer's own image. A total of 490 Korean male office workers participated in this study. Participants' self-image and the product images of 20 apparel items were measured using nine adjective semantic scales (namely elegant, stable, sincere, refined, intense, luxury, bold, conspicuous, and polite). A model was then constructed to predict the consumer preferences using a neural network with Python and TensorFlow. The resulting Predict Preference Model using Product Image (PPMPI) was trained using product image and the preference of each product. Current research confirms that product preference can be predicted by the self-image instead of by entering the product image. The prediction accuracy rate of the PPMPI was over 80%. We used 490 items of test data consisting of self-images to predict the consumer preferences for using the PPMPI. The test of the PPMPI showed that the prediction rate differed depending on product attributes. The prediction rate of work apparel with normative images was over 70% and higher than for other forms of apparel.

This study recognizes that consumers are becoming important as a subject of commerce as they change from the existing e-commerce market to the consumer-led e-commerce market, and proposes the use of consumer intervention as a remedy for consumer damage in international e-commerce disputes. In Korea, there is no separate regulation on consumer arbitration, so we will analyze the U.S. arbitration judgment, which is the most active in consumer arbitration, and examine it through the U.S. arbitration judgment so that arbitration can become active as a remedy for consumer disputes in Korea. In summary, in the event of a dispute between consumers and companies through e-commerce, consumers' preference for arbitration was confirmed through repeated collection of opinions without coercion. It is necessary to revitalize arbitration in Korea to protect consumers through arbitration rather than litigation and to resolve disputes through active alternative dispute resolution as a solution to disputes in e-commerce, which is rapidly increasing through U.S. consumer arbitration cases. The topic of the activation of arbitration has been mentioned a lot before, but the preference for arbitration is still lower than that of litigation. However, from now on, as the appearance of existing commerce has changed to consumer-led e-commerce, it has proposed a plan to use arbitration to rescue consumers from damage as consumers as buyers grow in the market.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of consumer-brand relationship on purchasing attitudes toward counterfeits. 341 female college students who had purchased fashion luxury brand products were surveyed. For data analysis, descriptive statistics, factor analysis, pearson's correlations, ANOVA, and multiple regression were used. As the results, consumer-brand relationship was classified into three factors; commitment relationship, trust relationship, and emotion relationship. Also, higher consumer-brand relationship was correlated with higher preference and satisfaction, and lower purchasing attitudes toward counterfeits. Also, among the three groups(heavy/middle/low) of consumer-brand relationship, the heavy group had higher preference and satisfaction, and lower purchasing attitudes toward counterfeits. Also, results revealed that 'commitment relationship' and 'emotional relationship' accounted for 32% of the explained variance in 'favorableness', while 'trust relationship' and 'emotional relationship' accounted for 26% and 29% of the explained variance in 'trust toward product quality'. Based on these results, fashion luxury brand marketing strategy would be suggested.

본 연구는 한라봉의 소비자 선호도 조사를 통하여 객관적인 품질등급 기준을 설정하는데 있다. 지금까지 한라봉의 품질등급은 선과기를 이용한 크기에 따른 상품 구별과, 농 감협과 일부 영농 법인에서 비파괴 선과기를 이용하여 선별되어진 자체적인 브랜드에 준하여 품질등급을 제시하여 왔다. 그 등급 설정은 과학적 객관적이거나, 소비자의 니즈에 의한 것이 아니라 편의에 위한 관행적 등급으로 판단된다. 그 등급 내용을 보면 당도 $13^{\circ}Bx$ 이상, 산1.0% 이하로 일률적으로 적용하여 사용되어지고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 한라봉의 소비자 선호도 조사를 통한 소비자 만족도에 근거하여 당도 5등급, 산도 7등급으로 총 35개 등급으로 구분하였다. 이를 바탕으로 1등급에서 5등급까지의 5개의 등급을 설정하고 상품(1~3등급)과 비상품(4~5등급)으로 구분하였다.
