Objectives: Stress during adolescence is related to undesirable nutritional intake and negatively affects the growth and development. This study was performed to investigate the relationship among life stress, dietary behaviors and the intake of high-fat containing snacks in male and female high school students in Gyeonggi-do area. Methods: The subjects were 700 high school students (350 males, 350 females) in Gyeonggi-do from July to September 2014 and the survey was performed by using questionnaire that included general characteristics, dietary behaviors, high-fat containing snacks intake, and daily life stress. Results: There was a gender difference in health-related life style and dietary behaviors, and the life stress was significantly higher in female students than in male students. For health-related life style, exercise frequency, hours of sleep and conversation time with parents had significantly negative correlations with life stress, while smoking and perceived stress had significantly positive correlations with life stress. For dietary behaviors, the frequency of eating-out had a significantly negative correlation with life stress, while the changes in amount of meal intake under stress had a significantly positive correlation with life stress. The fat intake of 'high-stress group' was significantly higher and high-fat containing snacks consumed by this group consisted of cookies, honey bread and fried foods. Conclusions: It is necessary to develop appropriate programs for the emotional stability and stress relief of adolescents that provide continuous nutrition education focused on proper snack intake, desirable dietary behaviors and nutritional aspects.

This review describes the risk factors of the nutrition crisis in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infections and suggests precision nutrition against long-term psychological and physiological stress. The mandatory quarantine and the social distancing are associated with an interruption of the lifestyle routine, resulting in psychological (i.e., boredom) and physiological stress. The stress with multiple causes and forms induces over-compensation of energy-dense food, such as sugary comfort food, and is defined as "food craving" because carbohydrates positively affect the psychological stability with serotonin secretion. The consumption of foods that promote an immune response against viral infections (vitamins & minerals; Cu, folate, Fe, Se, Zn, and Vit A, B6, B12, C, and D), reduce inflammatory cytokines (w-3 fatty acids, Vit D, fibers, and Mg), contain antioxidants (beta-carotene, Vit E, C, Se, and phenolics), and sleep-inducing proteins (serotonin, melatonin, and milk products) is essential. In addition, a reduced Vit D deficiency in winter due to less time spent outdoors under quarantine has been reported to be associated with viral infections. The case fatality rate of COVID-19 was significantly dependent on age, sex, race, and underlying health condition. To prevent malnutrition and cachexia in elderly people, weight loss and muscle wasting should be monitored and controlled. Inadequate protein intake, sedentary lifestyle, and inflammation are significant risk factors for sarcopenia. Moreover, relatively high intakes of fat or carbohydrate compared to low protein intake result in abdominal obesity, which is defined as "sarcopenic obesity." Keeping the food-safety guidelines of COVID-19, this study recommends the consumption of fresh and healthy foods and avoiding sugar, fat, salt, alcohol, and commercially frozen foods.

Six kinds of sunsik containing different contents of brown rice(BR; 20, 30, and 50%) were prepared and subjected to various processing conditions(with or without roasting at $200^{\circ}C$ for 20 min e.g., designated as RBR50 or BR50) to assess their functionality as ready-to-eat foods. They were also assessed for their nutritional and sensory properties and oxidative stability. Dietary fiber contents were proportionate to the levels of added BR. Protein was highest in RBR50 (p<0.001), which also had the highest amounts of free and structural amino acids. The amount of free amino acids tended to increase with roasting, although most amino acids were present in structural form. Oleic acid and linoleic acid were the predominant fatty acids in all prepared sunsik, and RBR50 presented noticeably higher peroxidability index due to its higher amount of linoleic acid(p<0.05). Nevertheless, RBR50 showed good oxidative stability; this phenomenon was observed in all sunsik with roasted BR but not in those with non-roasted BR. It is implied that potential antioxidants might have been newly formed or converted from their precursors while BR was roasted. Roasting process also had an impact on the sensory properties of sunsik, e.g., sunsik with added roasted BR showed lower dissolution and darker color intensity compared to its counterpart sunsik.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the storage stability of mayonnaise containing a different emulsifier and various levels of soybean paste powder. The mayonnaise with egg yolk as an emulsifier is E group according to the amount of soybean paste powder addition of 0%(E1), 3%(E2), 6%(E3) and mayonnaise with soy milk as an emulsifier is S group with soybean paste powder addition of 0%(S1), 3%(S2), 6%(S3). Storage stability of mayonnaise was determined during storage at $30{\pm}5^{\circ}C$ for 8 weeks. The peroxide value, TBA value, acid value of mayonnaise with addition of 6% soybean paste powder was significantly lower than that of 0% and 3% addition. The turbidity decreased according to storage period. The viscosity of mayonnaise was increased with increasing amount of soybean paste powder. Base on these results, addition of soybean paste powder in the mayonnaise improved oxidation stability during storage period.

Total tocopherol and phenol contents were determined for virgin and pure oilve oil, and their autoxidation and thermal oxidation were compared with those of commercial soybean oil, in the presence or absence of fluorescent light. The total tocopherol contents of virgin, pure olive oil, and soybean oil were 15.7, 11.2, and 80.7 mg/100 g, respectively. Their total phenol contents were 10.4, 1.6 and 0.5 mg/l00 g, respectively. In autoxidation under dark place at 45$^{\circ}C$, the oxidative stability of the substrate oils decreased in order of virgin oilve oil, pure olive oil, and soybean oil. The average temperature coefficients of the virgin, pure olive oil and soybean oil in the range of 45∼$65^{\circ}C$ were 1.73, 1.83 and 1.64, and the activation energies were 26.86, 29.49, and 24.07 KJ/mol, respectively. In temperature range of 45∼$65^{\circ}C$, pure olive oil was the most susceptible to temperature change, whereas soybean oil the least. In autoxidation under fluorescent light at 45$^{\circ}C$, the oxidative stability of substrate oils decreased in the order of soybean oil, pure olive oil, and virgin olive oil. In thermal oxidation at 18$0^{\circ}C$, the oxidative stability of substrate oils decreased in order of pure olive oil, virgin olive oil, and soybean oil.

This study was carried out to develop the intermediate material for its processing product of sea tangle by investigating softening stability of softened sea tangle for storage. The change of softening stability, Avrami (equation) exponent, color and sensory characteristics was examined during storage when hydrophilic softening agent was added to the softened sea tangle. Inclination of the sample added with isomalto oligosaccharide showed the lowest value in relation of ln(E$\_$L/- Et) vs t for four days of storage. Exponent range of Avrami equation was 1.00-1.67 and isomalto oligosaccharide having 1.0 of exponent exhibited the most stable effect in softerness. The sample formulated with isomalto oligosaccharide indicated the lowest value in rate constant and its rigidity was progressed very slowly during storage. The L, a and b value of softened sea tangle during storage was relatively decreased. Color preference, odor, cohesiveness, softerness, process compatibility were revealed to be in best when isomalto oligosaccharide was added. When softening agent was added to the softened sea tangle it showed the positive result in processing compatibility and the available value in intermediate material for its processing product. It was relatively effective on softening stability when isomalto oligosaccharide was added to the softened sea tangle.

The oxidative stability of grape seed oils (GSOs) prepared from grape seeds roasted at different temperatures (100, 150 and $200^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr) was evaluated and compared with that of GSO from unroasted grape seed. Stability of the GSOs stored in air at $50^{\circ}C$ up to 40 days was assessed by acid value (AV) and peroxide value (PV). Simultaneously, the cont ents of tocopherols and tocotrienols and color changes were monitored up to 40 days. During the storage period, the PV of the unroasted GSO increased from 1.95 to 90.72 meq/kg. On the other hand, the PV for GSOs roasted at 100, 150 and $200^{\circ}C$ increased from 1.96, 2.03, 1.98 to 76.09, 71.72, 49.38 meq/kg, respectively. AV is in conformity with PV. Color development of GSOs increased as roasting temperature increased. The contents of tocopherols and tocotrienols in GSOs increased as roasting temperature increased from 100 to $200^{\circ}C$. The contents of tocopherols and tocotrienols gradually decreased along with the storage period. These results suggest that roasting treatment prolongs the oxidative stability of GSOs.

This study was carried out to examine softening stability, exponent of Avrami equation, color change, sensory characteristcs during storage when hydrocolloid was added to the sea tangle paste treated with acetic acid and heat treatment. Rate constant of solidification showed the least value of 0.05 in Avrami equation. In addition hardness of the softened sea tangle paste was not changed after two days of storage in case of carrageenan. Rate of hardness in the softened sea tangle paste formulated with carrageenan exhibited the lowest value of 0.28 kg/mm/day. Heat melting spreadability of the softened sea tangle paste showed the highest value in case of carrageenan and its fluid behavior was rheopectic. Viscosity change in the sea tangle paste formulated with carrageenan was the least during storage and its significant difference at the level of p < 0.05 was exhibited. Change of L, a and b value of softened sea tangle formulated with carrageenan during storage was significantly different at level of p<0.05. Color preference, odor, cohesiveness, softerness, process compatibility and overall acceptance of softened sea tangle were revealed to be in best when carrageenan was added. When hydrocolloid was added to the softened sea tangle paste, it showed the positive result in quality and storage stability of softened sea tangle paste. It was extremely effective on softening stability when carrageenan was added to the softened sea tangle paste.

Grape seed extract (GSE) was added to grape seed oil to improve the oxidative stability of the grape seed oil during storage. To measure the oxidative stability of grape seed oil, peroxide value, acid value, and conjugated diene value were measured, and changes in browning, vitamin E, fatty acid composition, and polyphenol content of oil were examined. In the case of grape seed oil with GSE, peroxide value, acid value, and conjugated diene value were lower than those of grape seed oil. The magnitude of increase in absorbance of grape seed oil with GSE was less than that of additive-free grape seed oil, whereas the magnitude of decrease in vitamin E isomers in grape seed oil with GSE was less than that of grape seed oil with no additive. Changes in fatty acid composition were also similar. However, polyphenol contents showed the greatest reduction in grape seed oil containing GSE. GSE contributes to the oxidation stability of grape seed oil, but the antioxidant capacity of GSE was lower than that of butylated hydroxytoluene.
