This nutritional survey was conducted from February 8 to March 10, 1994, in order to investigate the nutritional knowledge, food habits, nutritional attitude, food preferences and nutrient intakes of urban middle-aged women living in Daegu and Pohang district. The subjects of this survey were 164 urban middle-aged women living in Daegu and Pohang Area. The completely answered questionnaires were analyzed for nutritional knowledge, food habits, nutritional attitude, food preference and nutrient intakes of urban middle-aged women. The results obtained are summarized as follows: The subjects had a high level of perceived knowledge (82.9%), that is the knowledge that each subject believed she had, but the accuracy of the knowledge was only 66.1%. The average nutrition knowledge score was 8.26 out of possible 15 points, and food habit score was 5.50 out of 10 points. Most of the subjects belonged to 'Fair' or 'Good' food habit group, which is considered to be relatively good. With increasing age, the percentage of perceived knowledge, accuracy, and nutrition knowledge score were getting lower. But food habit score and nutritional attitude score were getting higher at 40's women than 30's women. The correlation between nutritional knowledge score and food habit score was low (r=0.0748). The correlation between nutritional attitude score and food habit score was low, too (r=-0.0653). Food preferences for kimchi, potato, cooked rice, beef, noodle, cabbage and milk were high. Average calorie and protein intake of the subjects were $1967.4{\pm}27.8\;Kcal$, $75.8{\pm}1.4\;g$ respectively. Carbohydrate, protein and fat ratio on energy composition was 63.3%:15.5%:21.2%.

To determine the amount of total bromide as 2-bromoethanol, the domestic agricultural products such as rice, barley, carrot, cucumber, apple, tomato, squash, green pepper, melon, strawberry, grape, peach, potato and celery were analyzed by GC/MSD as well as GC/ECD. The bromide was detected in most of the domestic samples and the highest bromide residue determined was 13.2 ppm in barley. The imported agricultural products including melon, kiwi, lemon, pineapple, banana, orange and grape were also analyzed for the bromide. The bromide was also detected in most of the imported ones and the highest bromide residue determined was 12.3 ppm in pineapple. In addition, the bromide residue in instant noodle spices was monitored for 4 years, recently. As results, in 1994, the bromide content was in the range of non-detection to 2.4 ppm (average 1.1 ppm) from 22 out of 24 samples; in 1995, the bromide content was 1.0 and 2.2 ppm from 2 out of 37 samples; in 1996, the bromide content was in the range of 0.7 to 37 ppm (average 12.4 ppm) from all 11 samples; and in 1997, the bromide content was in the range of 0.2 to 4.6 ppm (average 1.2 ppm) from all 59 samples. However, none of sample analyzed for the bromide was exceeded Maximum Residue Limit(s) of Korea and Codex in these survey.

In order to observe the K contents, Korean common foods, especially processed foods were analyzed by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. The results obtained were summarized as followed; (I) The K contents of instant noodle(ramyon) was 105-180 mg/100g and K ontents of their soup powder was 500-1000 mg/100g. (2) The K contents of potato products and bean products were less than those of original foods. So it was recongnized that the K contents might reduced during the food process. (3) The K contents of meats was 130-475 mg/I00g and those of meats products was relatively low, 80-260 mg/100g. (4) The K contents of carbonate beverage was very low but that of instant coffed was very high, 2400-2600 mg/100g. (5) There was no Statistical difference between the results of wet ash method and dry ash method in the K contents of all food groups.

This study was peformed to estimate manganese intake and the major food source of manganese in Korean adults. The 354 subjects aged over 20 years were measured anthropometrics and dietary intake using 24-hour recall method. Daily intake and the major food sources of manganese were calculated using manganese database of food composition tables in Korea, USA and Japan. The average age, height, weight and BMI were 54.6years, 165.7cm, 67.2kg and $24.5kg/m^2$ for men and 53.8 years, 153.7cm, 59.1kg and $24.9kg/m^2$ for women, respectively. The daily energy and manganese intake of men were significantly higher than those of women (1740.9 kcal vs. 1432.6 kcal; p<0.001, 3.7mg vs. 3.2mg; p<0.01). However, daily manganese intake per 1000kcal between men and women was not significantly different (2.2mg/1000kcal vs. 2.3mg/1000kcal). Daily manganese intakes from each food group were 1.9mg from cereals, 0.5mg from vegetables, 0.4mg from pulses and 0.2mg from seasonings. The 20 major food sources of dietary manganese were rice, soybean, sorghum, Kimchi, tobu, wheat flour, red pepper powder, small red bean, glutinous millet, soybean paste, potato, Ramyeon, green pepper, noodle, buckwheat Naengmyeon, soybean sprout, laver, watermelon, perilla seeds powder and soy sauce. Manganese intake from these 20 foods was 74.0% of the total dietary manganese intake. In conclusion, daily manganese intake of the subject was 3.4mg (2.2mg/1000 kcal) and met adequate intake of manganese. The mai or food sources of manganese were cereals, pulses, and vegetables such as rice, soybean, sorghum, Kimchi and tobu.

The percentages of environment-friendly food items being used were as follows: eggs, 31.0%; meat, 28.7%; soybean curds, 22.1%; and fruits, 17.7%. Of these food items, meat and ready-to-use seafood were being used the most in the elementary schools. The percentages of imported food items being used were as follows: starch jelly, 29.2%; ready-to-use seafood, 24.7%; soybean curds, 20.5%; spice, 15.9%; and fruits, 10.1%. The food items requiring HACCP certification were as follows: beef and pork, 81.5%; chicken, 80.1%; ready-to-use seafood, 78.6%; frozen dumplings, 73.8%; soybean curds, 71.6%; peeled eggs, 70.8%; fish paste, 69.4%; starch jelly, 65.7%; milk, 63.1%; kimchi, 54.6%; spice, 50.6%; frozen noodle, 45.4%; ready-to-use vegetables, 44.3%; and bean sprouts, 29.5%. It was confirmed that 8.1% of the sanitation monitoring results were intentionally misreported. Therefore, to supply good and safe foods to schools, active management is needed in schools and food manufacturing and delivery companies.
