Fast food restaurants are growing in numbers in Korea since they were introduced abot a decade ago. To develop an effective marketing strategy for fast foods, it is important to assess consumer's acceptability and identify demorgraphic, environmental, and managerial factors which influence consumer's perception on the fast food restaurants. A total of 595 customers were surveyed at thirty hamburger chain restaurants in Seoul from November 7 to 15, 1988. Analyses of the collected data revealed that adolescents, females, and the people with high income were the major customers and visited more than once or twice a week; frequent visitors rated meals more favorably in terms of the quality, service and cleanliness, and they also rated meals of foreign brand more favorable than those of domestic one; the female group perceived the change in their dietary habits more than any other groups; cleanliness, convenience, atmosphere, courtesy, and the taste of foods were significant factors in purchasing fast foods; and customers were most satisfied with convenience, while least satisfied with the price and the quantity of foods. From these findings, it is sggested that the manager of the fast food restaurant must consider the consumer's perception of fast foods in terms of pros and cons in order to operate her/his restaurant successfully.

This study was to investigate the undergraduates in Gyeongsan city, an area heavily populated with students, on their awareness of and their satisfaction with the local traditional food to suggest an effective marketing direction to town restaurants and to provide them with useful information to activate their business. The samples were taken by the convenience sampling method and the measurement was done by 5 points-Likert. The result was as follows. The students recognized that cleanliness(4.69 points), food texture(4,57 points), the freshness of food materials(4,56 points) and food price(4.20 points) were important. However, they considered the legitimacy of local traditional foods(3.59 points), the supplementary explanation of food(3.58 points) and the quantity of food(3.34 points) as less important. On the level of satisfaction with the food, they were highly satisfied with food taste(3.55 points), food flavor(3.47 points) and quantity(3.39 points), while showing relatively low satisfaction with food creativity(2.94 points), food originality(2.75 points) and the explanation of food(2.61 points). The result of IPA indicated that the food texture, food cleanliness, the freshness of food materials, food flavor, food taste and food nutrients were thought to be important among customers, to be kept well by the restaurants and to be shown as the items to be maintained further. The customers took other items like menu price and the creativity of menu to be important, but their satisfaction with these items were low due to lack of practice. Therefore, those items should be managed intensively.

This study was to identify and quantify the flavor compounds in cream cheese and cholesterol-removed cream cheese made from whole milk powder stored at $7^{\circ}C$ for 4 wk. Flavor compounds of cream cheese were identified using gas chromatography mass spectroscopy and quantified by gas chromatography. The tentatively identified flavor compounds were mainly eight from fatty acids in cream cheese made from whole milk powder (CCWMP) and nine from fatty acids in cholesterol-removed cream cheese made from whole milk powder (CRCCWMP). In quantitative analysis of the flavor compounds, most of the volatile compounds were slightly increased during storage. N-Decanoic acid was produced only in CCWMP. On the basis of the results, it was concluded that the quality and quantity of flavor compounds in CCWMP and CRCCWMP have almost no adverse effects in comparison with that of whole milk-made cream cheese.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of acorn ($Quercus$ autissima carruther) powder on the antioxidant activity and quality characteristics of cookies. Cookies were prepared with different amounts of acorn powder (at ratios of 0, 0.5, 1, 3 and 5% to total flour quantity). Antioxidant activity was estimated based on DPPH free radical scavenging activity and total phenol content in acorn powder and cookies. To analyze quality characteristics, bulk density, pH of the dough, spread factor, loss rate, leavening rate, color, texture profile analysis, and sensory evaluations were measured. Loss rate, a values, total polyphenol contents and DPPH free radical scavenging activity of cookies significantly increased with increasing acorn powder content (p<0.01), whereas pH of the dough, L values and b values of the cookies significantly decreased with increasing acorn powder content (p<0.01). The results of sensory evaluation (appearance, taste, flavor, texture and overall preference) demonstrate that the 3% acorn cookie group showed the highest degree of preference among all items of added acorn powder. From these results, we suggest that acorn is a good ingredient for increasing the consumer acceptability and functionality of cookies.

This study was conducted to evaluate the textural and sensory properties of Kong-sulgidduk prepared with two types of soyflour (yellow and black) according to the amount of added glutinous riceflour. The rheological properties of Kong-sulgidduk were changed by the amount of added glutinous riceflour. When the amount of added glutinous riceflour was increased from 10% to 40%, hardness, gumminess, and brittleness were significantly increased in the sulgidduk prepared with yellow soyflour. In the case of black soyflour, the addition of 10% glutinous riceflour began to increase in the gumminess and brittleness. The addition of 30% glutinous riceflour effected a significant increase in hardness. The addition of yellow soyflour resulted in higher cohesiveness, gumminess and brittleness scores than those of black soyflour. The results of color assessments demonstrated that the more glutinous riceflour was added to the sulgidduk, the lower were the L-values; however, as the b- and a-values of the sulgidduk prepared with yellow soyflour increased. The addition of the same quantity of glutinous riceflour to the sulgidduk prepared with black soyflour resulted in a reduction in a- and b-values as compared to the sulgidduk prepared with yellow soyflour. In our sensory evaluation, with to the increasing quantities of added glutinous riceflour, the moisture and chewiness values clearly increased. However, the addition of 10% glutinous rice flour resulted in the highest overall quality. Also, the addition of 20% and 30% black soyflour resulted in better scores than the yellow soyflour samples in terms of color, moisture, and overall acceptability. These results demonstrated that the addition of glutinous riceflour to Kong-sulgidduk improves the textual and sensory properties.
