Soy isoflavones have drawn much attention due to their potential to prevent breast and prostate cancers, osteoporosis, heart disease, and other postmenopausal symptoms. Soy germ is one of the richest sources of isoflavones, and thus has good potential to be used as the ingredient of health foods. This study examined the extraction rate of isoflavones from soy germ at various conditions. After the effect of extraction temperature and duration on isoflavones extraction from soy germ was examined, the optimum concentration of ethanol as extraction solvent was determined. When ethanol concentration was fixed at $60\%\;(v/v)$, the maximum isoflavone extraction was achieved at 2 hrs and $30^{\circ}C$. Among various concentrations of ethanol tested, $80\%\;(v/v)$ ethanol showed the highest extraction efficiency. In conclusion, the maximum extraction of isoflavones was obtained using $80\%\;(v/v)$ ethanol as a solvent, at $30^{\circ}C$ of temperature, and 2 hrs of extraction time.

The purpose of this study was to get adequate substitute snacks for atopic dermatitis children. For this purpose food preference was surveyed by questionnaires to atopic dermatitis children in the kindergarten of Incheon area. As a result, anthropometric measurements were not significantly different by gender Most of atopic children were severe malnutrition by Rohrer index average 1.375. $13.3\%$ of atopic dermatitis started during newborn baby. $62.3\%$ of atopic dermatitis symptom started from 7 months to 3 years old. $48.9\%$ of atopic children didn't know the causes of the symptom. Though parents didn't thought instant/retort food, fried food, egg, snacks, milk were good for atopic dermatitis, they have offered egg, milk, meat, mackerel to their atopic dermatitis children for growth. Snacks of atopic dermatitis children were positively correlated between children's eating and favorite snacks(r=0.84), children's eating and parents' wishing snacks (r=0.615) and children's favorite and parents' wishing snacks(r=0.23). Therefore $83.7\%$ of atopic dermatitis children and their parents wanted reliable processed foods, $83.3\%$ of them despite high cost.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the dietary factors associated with characteristics of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in upper-grade elementary school students. The study subjects were 397 students, and 52% of total study subjects were boys. The risk for developing ADHD was assessed by using a DSM-IV questionnaire. Boy's ADHD score was higher than that of girls (p<0.001). Subjects were divided into two groups according to the median of the ADHD score in boys and girls. The high ADHD score group showed higher frequency of skipping breakfast and a lower score for good dietary habits, as compared to the normal group. Further, the high ADHD score group showed higher frequency of processed food intake with lower frequency of vegetable intake, as compared to the normal group. These results suggest that undesirable eating habits and frequent intake of processed foods may be associated with higher risk of developing ADHD in elementary school students.

Dairy products eatable instantly have lots of nutriment, but on the other hand they are susceptible to putrefy with careless. Therefore, dairy products should be implemented the critical control points to produce both standard good qualities and hygiene ones without the contamination of hazards, because they could not been produced the perfect products only with ISO 9000 application like other industry. The application of HACCP system for dairy products produced domestically is important to certify hygiene quality and safety. It is necessary to examine regular inspection for the persistent maintenance of HACCP system. If environmental changes and improvement of manufacture facilities by expansion of new system in factory turn shift into HACCP plan, then, it is persistently accomplished the supplementation of deficiency for new hazard analysis through the periodical inspection. So far, HACCP system is mainly applied in dairy plants. If farms producing milk directly set up a sanitary plan, it can also practice sanitary control from farm to table in our country. The only dairy products produced in these conditions can be compatible to ones of other countries, they can be provided consumers over forty million with reliable foods, and contributed to the improvement of public health.

The purpose of this study was to serve a standard of the good quality control and shelf-life of food and beverage served from the vending machines. So it was performed to examine the temperature (internal & external environmental, food itself), pH, Aw, POV and microbiological quality of Adlay tea and Wheat noodles served from the vending machines based on storage time in the machines. They were assessed to find the critical control point(CCP) during each of the production, delivery, purchasing phases from the vending machines. The result of this study can be summarized as follows: 1. The temperature of foods inside the vending machines was ranged from 4$0^{\circ}C$ to 45$^{\circ}C$. It was in the range of dangerous zone. The average temperature of food showed 71$^{\circ}C$ for Adlay tea and 74$^{\circ}C$ for Wheat noodles. As a result of measuring pH and Aw, they had potential danger. 2. Even though POV was low, it increased as the time passed. 3. As a result of microbial analysis, it showed that the amount of total plate count and coliforms were increased ten times after 1 day respectively. Wheat noodles' coliform and total plate counts exceeded standard value in 1 day. As a result of food poisoning bacteria, it was negative in sample against Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Salmonella, Staphylococcus aureus.

This study examined the physical activity and dietary patterns of university students in Nairobi County and compared to their weight status. The study was a cross-sectional analytical design with a sample of 260 undergraduate students randomly selected from two private and two public universities. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to gather information from students. Students weight and height measurements were also obtained. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 22. The study results showed that 53.5% of the students met the recommended levels of moderate physical activity and 18.8% of the students met the recommended levels of vigorous physical activity. Majority of the students consumed fast foods sweetened beverages and pastries most times in a week. The study also showed that 31.2% of the students were overweight and 6.2% were obese. The study reveals that most students did not achieve the recommended levels of vigorous physical activity and showed some poor dietary patterns. Findings show clear evidence of high prevalence of overweight among university students but focus should be on fitness rather than fatness. Efforts should be made to promote physical activity participation and good dietary practices within university environments.
