BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The concept of "food deserts" has been widely used in Western countries as a framework to identify areas with constrained access to fresh and nutritious foods, providing guidelines for targeted nutrition and public health programs. Unlike the vast amount of literature on food deserts in a Western context, only a few studies have addressed the concept in an East Asian context, and none of them have investigated spatial patterns of unhealthy food consumption from a South Korean perspective. SUBJECTS/METHODS: We first evaluated the applicability of food deserts in a Korean setting and identified four Korean-specific unhealthy food consumption indicators, including insufficient food consumption due to financial difficulty, limited consumption of fruits and vegetables, excessive consumption of junk food, and excessive consumption of instant noodles. The KNHANES 2008-2012 data in Seoul were analyzed with stratified sampling weights to understand the trends and basic characteristics of these eating patterns in each category. GIS analyses were then conducted for the data spatially aggregated at the sub-district level in order to create maps identifying areas of concern regarding each of these indicators and their combinations. RESULTS: Despite significant reduction in the rate of food insufficiency due to financial difficulty, the rates of excessive consumption of unhealthy foods (junk food and instant noodles) as well as limited consumption of fruits and vegetables have increased or remained high. These patterns tend to be found among relatively younger and more educated groups, regardless of income status. CONCLUSIONS: A GIS-based analysis demonstrated several hotspots as potential "food deserts" tailored to the Korean context based on the observed spatial patterns of undesirable food consumption. These findings could be used as a guide to prioritize areas for targeted intervention programs to facilitate healthy food consumption behaviors and thus improve nutrition and food-related health outcomes.

This study was conducted to examine the 2nd broadcasting cooking program of Gyeongseong Radio from April 26th 1933, when the 2nd broadcasting for Koreans started, to December 1941. From its opening date, there were continuously regular cooking programs such as 'Recipes' and introducing 'Japchae'. Analysis of names broadcasted in cooking programs included a total of 452 foods (328 types); specifically, 332 Korean foods, 71 Western foods, 24 Japanese foods, 18 Chinese foods, and seven other foods. Korean foods included 35 staple foods, 223 side dishes, 64 deserts, and 11 sauces. Western foods included seven soups, 25 main dishes, and 25 deserts. Main dishes included many deep-fried dishes, while diverse types of desserts were also introduced. In the case of Japanese food, there were many foods combined with Western food. Chinese food included many types of dumplings and fried rice, as well as many dishes using pork. Among people broadcasting cooking programs, there were 11 whose names were shown in the schedule, all of whom were recognized as the best cooking specialists and educators of the time.

The purpose of this study was to apply molecular gastronomy and spherification methodology to persimmon deserts. We prepared 'persimmon calcium alginate beads' and investigated their physical and sensory characteristics by adding different concentrations of sodium alginate (0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1.0%). Lightness and yellowness decreased significantly as the concentration of sodium alginate increased. However hardness, springiness, chewiness, cohesiveness, and resilience but not adhesiveness tended to increase as the concentration of sodium alginate increased. The thickness of the beads increased as the concentration of sodium alginate increased. In contrast, the thickness of the membrane decreased as the concentration of alginate increased from 0.8 to 1.0% suggesting that the amount of sodium alginate had reached a critical point. Quantitative descriptive analysis showed that voluminosity, springiness, hardness, chewiness, and residue tended to increase as the concentration of sodium alginate increased. Overall preference reached a peak at 0.4% sodium alginate.

수송나물은 동아시아에서 자생하는 염생식물로 바닷가와 같은 염분이 많은 토지에서도 생장이 가능한 식물이다. 전통적으로 수송나물은 식품으로서 사용되는 동시에 약용으로도 사용되었다. 본 연구는 수송나물의 화장품 원료로서의 가능성을 알아보기 위하여, 항산화 실험 및 세포실험을 실시하였다. 항산화능 측정을 위해 수송나물을 70% 에탄올로 추출물을 제조하였다. 항산화 측정에는 DPPH와 ABTS 법을 사용하였으며, 그 결과 각각의 실험에서 IC50값이 186.10 mg/mL과 121.89 mg/mL로 나타났다. 동시에 폴리페놀 함량과 환원능 측정을 실시하였고, 그 결과 22.5%의 폴리페놀 함량과 28.4%의 환원능이 나타났다. 세포실험에서는 MTT 법을 사용하여 해당 추출물이 세포독성이 없음을 나타내었으며, 100 ㎍/mL 농도에서 항염능과 미백능을 나타내었다. 결과적으로 수송나물 추출물은 미백 및 항염능을 가진 화장품 소재로서 사용가능함을 확인하였다.

본 연구는 인구감소 고령화지역에서의 소매판매활동 특성을 고령화 정도와 관련시켜 고찰하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 분석결과 고령화 사회 고령사회는 유사한 주요 소매판매업종을 구성하는데 대해 초 고령사회는 다른 지역과 달리 주요 업종수도 적고, 업종구성도 다르게 나타난다. 이와 같은 특성에서 고령화가 심할수록 사업체당 종사자수와 인구 1인당 연간판매액은 적어지지만 사업체 밀도는 높게 나타나는데, 이는 농산어촌지역에 소매업사업체가 분산 입지하기 때문이고, 고령사회 초 고령사회에서의 노동생산성이 높은 소매구조의 배경은 사업체당 종사자수가 적은데서 기인한 것이다. 인구감소 고령화지역에서 높은 판매액의 구성비를 나타내는 종합소매업, 연료소매업, 음식료품 및 담배소매업에 대해 수급의 정도를 파악한 결과, 먼저 종합소매업은 고령 초 고령사회에서, 연료소매업은 대체로 판매액이 적은 고령 초 고령사회에서, 음식료품 및 담배소매업은 초 고령사회에서 '수급균형지역'으로 나타난다. 그리고 고령화의 정도가 높을수록 수급의 지역 간 격차는 작은데, 이는 지역 간의 구매력의 차이에서 기인한 것이다.
