This study was performed to evaluate served menu in Korean temples. Among available temples in the nation, 34 temples were carefully selected considering location and the gender characteristics. A five consecutive day menu was collected to analyse by interview between Jan 2004 and Aug 2004. Mean energy content of menu was 1633.8 kcal, with 67.3% of energy supplied by carbohydrate, 14.8% by protein and 17.9% by fat. Beans and bean products were the major contributing dishes for most nutrients. Contents of most nutrients except energy, protein and vitamin B were higher than RDA. Nutrient adequacy ratio (NAR) were 0.9-1.0 and mean adequacy ratio (MAR) was 0.9 for temples. Total number of dishes from menu was 7.3. Dietary variety score (DVS) was 26.4 and buddhist monk temples offered more diverse foods than buddhist nun temples. KDQI (Korean diet Quality Index), overall diet quality index were 0.67 and those of buddhist nun temples were better than those of buddhist monk temples. From the result of this study it was concluded that the temple diet is nutritionally well balanced, rich in dietary fiber and low in cholesterol. So it can be a healthy diet for the modern person. This is the very first study attempting the nationwide investigation of temple diet in Korea. It will be used as fundamental data to improve quality of diet to prevent modern chronic disease.

누에분말을 과일(키위, 파파야, 파인애플 및 배) 단백질 분해 효소로 반응시켜 생리활성작용 및 이화학적 특성을 조사하기 위하여 pH, 산도, 단백질 함량, 미네랄 함량, 지방산 조성, 단백질 패턴, 항산화 및 혈전용해 활성을 측정하였다. 누에분말은 각 과일 단백질 분해 효소로 $60^{\circ}C$에서 24시간 반응시켰다. 단백질 농도는 과즙액 처리 누에분말에서 약간 높은 것으로 나타났다. 누에분말의 주요 미네랄은 칼륨, 마그네슘, 칼슘 및 아연이였으며, 주요 지방산 조성은 linolenic acid, oleic acid 및 palmitic acid 였다. SDS-PAGE상의 단백질 패턴 분석에서 66-97 kDa 정도 크기의 누에 단백질 밴드가 파인애플, 파파야 및 배 반응에 의해서는 대부분 분해가 일어났지만, 키위 반응에 의해서는 거의 분해가 일어나지 않은 것으로 관찰되었다. 혈전용해 활성은 파파야 및 배 반응에 의한 누에분말에서만 나타났다. 항산화 활성은 0.1% 처리 농도에서 과일 단백질 분해 효소 반응에 의한 누에분말에서 미반응 누에분말 보다 증가하였으나, 시판 항산화제 BHT 처리보다는 활성이 많이 낮았다. 따라서 과즙액 처리 누에분말의 경우 반응 전 누에분말 보다 생리활성작용 및 이화학적 특성이 강화됨으로써 건강기능식품 소재로서의 가치가 증가된 것으로 사료되어 진다.

This study was performed to investigate dietary habits and nutritional intake according to body mass index (BMI) of female college students. The subjects were 1361 students with a mean age of 20.4 years residing in Seoul and Kyonggui area. BMI (kg/) between $\geq$ 18.5 to $\leq$ 23 was considered as nonnal, < 18.5 as underweight and > 23 as overweight. The subjects had a mean BMI of 20.0 kg/$m^2$ and 25% of them were classified as underweight group, 67% as normal group and 8% as overweight group. Dietary intake was assessed by food frequency method and consumption of foods and nutrients was analyzed. Frequency of meal skipping was higher in the overweight group, 16.1 % of the overweight group skipped dinner. Also, the frequency of snack intake was lowest in the overweight group. The overweight group consumed less meat and fish than the normal and underweight groups. The total number of foods consumed in a day was also significantly lower than that of the underweight and normal group. The overweight group consumed less energy, protein, fat, phosphorus and niacin than the underweight and normal groups. The overweight group took iron and sodium intake lower than the normal group. Mean intakes of nutrients except clacium and iron in all three groups were over Korea RDA. The NAR (nutrient adequacy ratio) value of all nutrients, except calcium, was lower in the overweight group when compared to the normal and underweight groups, and the MAR (mean adequacy ratio) of the overweight group was 0.89, which was lower than 0.92 of the underweight and 0.93 of the normal group. The above results indicated that the deficiency of major nutrients such as calcium and iron could be inducde by less kinds of consumed foods and frequent meal skipping including dinner in the overweighted group. Therefore, balanced nutrient intake is required to maintain skeletal health and prevent anemia in overweighted female college students aged twenties.

The ohmic heating of foods for sterilization provides a shorter come-up time compared to conventional thermal processes. The electric fields as well as the heat generated by ohmic heating facilitate germicidal effects. In the present study, the effect of ohmic heating on the structure and permeability of the cell membrane of yeast cells, Saccharomyces cerevisae, isolated from Takju (a traditional Korean rice-beer), was investigated. The ohmic heating was found to translocate intracellular protein materials out of the cell wall, and the amount of exuded protein increased significantly as the electric field increased from 10 to 20 V/cm. As higher frequencies were applied, more materials were exuded. Compared to conventional heating, more amounts of proteins and nucleic acids were exuded when these cells were treated with ohmic heating. The molecular weights of the major exuded proteins ranged from 14 kDa to 18 kDa, as analyzed by Tricine-SDS PAGE. A TEM study also confirmed the leakage of cellular materials, thus indicating irreversible damage to the cell wall by ohmic heating. It was, therefore, concluded that the electric fields generated by ohmic heating induced electroporation, causing irreversible damage to the yeast cell wall and promoting the translocation of intracellular materials.

The nomenclature of genetic variants of casein which is major protein in milk have had a lot of confusion, but now have established. Genetic variants of ${\alpha}_{s1}-CN,\;{\alpha}_{s2}-CN,\;{\beta}-CN,\;{\kappa}-CN$ have reported 8 variants(A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H), 4 variants(A, B, C, D), 13 variants ($A_1,\;A_2,\;A_3,\;A_4$, B, C, D, E, F, G, $H_1,\;H_2$, I), 11 variants(A, B, C, E, $F_1,\;F_2,\;G_1,\;G_2$, H, I, J), respectively. Their data detailed have introduced in several web sites including www.uniprot.org. The studies on genetic variants of casein from Korean native cattle have been reported only ${\beta}-casein\;A_4$ but still not established the protein sequence. The classification and distinct nomenclature of genetic variants of bovine casein were required because the development of milk science and technology have been focused in the region that have to studied biochemically such as functional foods, EMC and GMO et al.

Food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) is a non-IgE mediated hypersensitivity disorder, which is associated with mainly gastrointestinal symptoms and has a delayed onset. The vomiting and/or diarrheal symptoms of FPIES typically begin in the first month of life in association with a failure to thrive, metabolic acidosis, and shock. Therefore, the differential diagnosis of FPIES and neonatal or infantile sepsis-like illnesses or gastroenteritis is difficult. The early recognition of indexes of suspicion for FPIES may help in the diagnosis and treatment of this disorder. The diagnosis of FPIES is generally made through clinical practice and food-specific IgE test findings are typically negative in this condition. Therefore, oral cow's milk challenge (OCC) remains the valid diagnostic standard for FPIES. An investigation of positive OCC outcomes helps to find out a diagnostic algorithm of criteria of a positive challenge in FPIES. Moreover, it has not been clearly determined in infantile FPIES when $1^{st}$ follow up-oral food challenge (FU-OFC) should be performed, with what kind of food protein (e.g., cow's milk, soy), and how much protein should be administered. Hence, to prevent the risk of inappropriate FU-OFC or accidental exposure and achieve appropriate dietary management, it is necessary to identify tolerance rates to major foods under the careful follow up of infantile FPIES patients. On the other hand, small intestinal enteropathy with villous atrophy is observed in FPIES and this enteropathy seems to be in part induced by both of epithelial apoptosis and intercellular junctional complex breakdown. The purpose of this report is to introduce an update on diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in FPIES and suggest the possible histopathological evidences in this disorder.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The intake of sugar has increased worldwide, and it is well established that childhood experiences and food preferences affect lifelong eating habits. To discourage sugar intake, nutrition education was imparted, and the effectiveness of the nutrition education program was investigated by considering the nutrient density and major dietary sources of sugar intake. SUBJECTS/METHODS: Twenty four-hour dietary recall and sugar intake frequency of 96 pre-school children (educated n = 47; non-educated n = 49) were collected on 3 consecutive days (1 weekend day, 2 weekdays) after 11 weeks of imparting nutrition education. Dietary intake of nutrients and total sugar were analyzed, and the intake frequency of sugar source foods were identified. All nutrition education programs were focused on a hands-on education program, and consisted of cooking lab, play, activity, animation, and visual materials. The difference between the two groups was verified by the Chi-square test or t-test. All statistical analysis was performed with significance level at P < 0.05. RESULTS: Compared to the non-educated group, the intakes of protein (P < 0.001), fiber (P < 0.01), potassium (P < 0.05), iron (P < 0.05), zinc (P < 0.05), and iodine (P < 0.001) were significantly higher, and the intakes of carbohydrate (P < 0.01) and total sugar (P < 0.05) were significantly lower in the educated group. The cumulative percent of sugar intake of top 20 sugar source foods in the educated group (82.80%) was lower than that of the non-educated group (85.75%). The contribution of beverages on total sugar intake was lower in the educated group. The average frequency of consuming sugary foods was significantly lower in the educated group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicate that nutrition education on discouraging sugar intake is effective in reducing the amount of total sugar consumed, resulting higher nutrient density in the diets of pre-school children.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Obesity is a major cause of metabolic disorders; to prevent obesity, research is ongoing to develop natural and safe ingredients with few adverse effects. In this study, we determined the anti-obesity effects of Rosa multiflora root extract (KWFD-H01) in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. MATERIALS/METHODS: The anti-obesity effects of KWFD-H01in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and SD rats were examined using various assays, including Oil Red O staining, gene expression analyses, protein expression analyses, and blood biochemical analyses. RESULTS: KWFD-H01 reduced intracellular lipid accumulation and inhibited the mRNA expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ), cytidine-cytidine-adenosine-adenosine-thymidine (CCAAT)/enhancer binding proteins (C/EBPα), sterol regulatory element-binding transcription factor 1 (SREBP-1c), acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), and fatty acid synthase (FAS) in 3T3-L1 cells. KWFD-H01 also reduced body weight, weight gain, and the levels of triglycerides, total and LDL-cholesterol, glucose, and leptin, while increasing high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol and adiponectin in SD rats. PPARγ, C/EBPα, SREBP-1c, ACC, and FAS protein expression was inhibited in the epididymal fat of SD rats. CONCLUSION: Overall, these results confirm the anti-obesity effects of KWFD-H01 in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and SD rats, indicating their potential as baseline data for developing functional health foods or pharmaceuticals to control obesity.

그루, 은파 및 탑동 등의 한국산 소맥분의 단백질 함량은 수입 소맥과 비교하여 상당히 많은 양 함유되어 있으나 탑동을 제외한 한국밀의 반죽 물성은 매우 약하여 단백질의 함량이 많음에도 불구하고 연질맥과 같은 반죽물성을 나타내었고, 특히 그루는 가장 많은 양의 단백질을 함유하지만 전형적인 sticky dough의 문제점을 나타내었다. 수입산과 국내산의 분류에 관계없이 단백질 함량이 많은 그루, 은파, 및 탑동 등의 한국 밀들은 DNS와 같이 acid insoluble protein의 함량이 상대적으로 많으며 water soluble과 salt soluble 단백질의 함량은 상대적으로 적었다. 특히 수입 DNS 밀은 전체 단백질의 함량에 대한 40% 이상이 acid insoluble protein이며 SDS insoluble protein 함량 또한 가장 많은 양 함유되어 있었다. 반면 한국산 소맥은 대부분 연질맥인 WW와 같이 SDS insoluble protein의 함량이 상대적으로 적었다. 또한 품종이나 제품성에 관계없이 밀가루의 단백질 함량이 높을 수록 단백질의 S-S와 SH 함량이 증가하였으며, 이러한 결과는 외국문헌에서 알려진 밀가루의 특성과 특별한 차이가 없었다. 그러나 탑동밀을 제외한 4종의 한국 밀에서 gluten의 특징적인 116 kD 이상의 high molecular weight protein subunit이 관찰되었으며, 이러한 subunit은 high molecular weight glutenin subunit에 해당되는 것으로 외국문헌의 경우 subunit 2.2로 분류하기도 한다. 또한 116 kD영역에 나타나는 triplet band는 탑동을 제외한 4 종의 우리밀은 doublet로 나타나므로 단백질의 high molecular weight subunit region에서 경질맥인 탑동밀의 구조가 가장 수입밀과 일치하는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 우유에 탈지분유 또는 4종의 대두단백질을 2% 첨가하여 커드상의 요구르트를 만들고, 대조군(우유로만 만든 요구르트)과 비교하여 대두단백질의 첨가가 젖산균의 산생성 및 커드상 요구르트의 품질(관능성, 저장성)에 미치는 영향을 조사하였으며, HPLC를 이용하여 커드상 요구르트의 몇 가지 유기산을 분석하였다. 대두단백질의 첨가로 젖산균의 산생성이 탈지분유를 첨가한 경우보다 촉진되었는데, 탈지대두분이나 대두분의 촉진효과가 현저하였다. 접종된 4종의 젖산균 (Lactobacillus 3종, Leuconostoc 1종) 중에서는 Leuc. mesenteroides와 L. bulgaricus의 산생성도가 높았다. HPLC에 의한 유기산 분석에서는 우유나 2% 대두분을 첨가한 우유에 L. bulgaricus를 접종하여 24시간 발효하는 동안 lactic acid와 acetic acid는 젖산균에 의해 생성되어 그 양이 현저하게 증가하였으나, 우유 중에 들어있는 citric acid는 젖산균에 의해 이용되어 그 양이 현저히 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 생성된 주요 유기산은 lactic acid였다. 관능검사의 결과를 보면 표준시료에 비하여 대두단백질 첨가 시료의 관능성은 저조하였으며, 대두단백질 중에서는 농축대두단백이나 분리대두단백 첨가 시료가 탈지대두분이나 대두분 첨가 시료보다 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 커드상의 요구르트를 2주일간 $5^{\circ}C$ 냉장고에 저장하는 동안 산생성과 pH, 생균수에 거의 차이가 없어 저장성은 매우 우수한 것으로 나타났다.
