This study was carried out to investigate the eating habits and preference of snacks for students in Chungnam province. Questionnaires were collected from 333 students, which were divided into male and female, food nutrition majors and non-majors, and weight groups according to BMI. The results obtained were as follows; 1. 62.8% of students responded that they were healthy. A significant difference on the health question was found between male and female students (p<.05).

This study aims to find out how taste recognition differs between two groups of culinary arts students. We conducted a questionnaire survey on minimum sensitivity and minimum tastiness for four basic tastes. The first group consisted of 40 students in their first year, and the second group consists of 56 students in their second year and third year. The survey shows that both groups preferred medium saltiness, and the second group was more favorable to sweetness than the first group. The sweet and the pungent tastes were more favored than sourness and less favored than bitterness by both groups of subjects. The amount of the sample required for minimum tastiness shows that the freshmen had a higher sensitivity than the sophomore and junior students. Contrary to a common belief that people who have more experience in cooking would have a more sensitive taste, this study shows that taste sensitivity does not always accord with cooking experience. Rather, it depends on individual differences and current health status. Further research should be needed for various sensory test method and more kitchen experienced people who has more working years after graduate college.

This study was carried out to investigate the intake pattern and the experience on the kimchi-making, and to analyze the taste preference of kimchi. The questionnaires have been collected from 473 college students in Taejon. Most students had taken baechu-kimchi, kkakduki, yeolmu-kimchi, dongchimi, and cheonggak-kimchi. They liked baechu-kimchi best, and then cheonggak-kimchi. Twenty-seven percent of students took kimchi every meal time and 53 % once a day. The rest 19.4% replied that they could take meals without kimchi. The male students ate more kimchi than the female(p<0.01). Sixty-five percent of them had tried the foreign foods made with kimchi and female had more experience than male(p<0.01). The taste of kimchi-japchae and kimchi-woodong was indicated as edible or taste very good by over two thirds of the students. Kimchi-pizza, kimchi-hamburger, and kimchi-spaghetti were evaluated as edible or taste good by the over half. The aging of kimchi was believed to be the most important factor to determine the taste. Students preferred kimchi which was weak in salty, sweet, and jot-kal taste, strong in hot taste, and proper in sour taste(well-fermented). Compared with the male, the female enjoyed kimchi having stronger sour and weaker jot-kal taste(p<0.01). More female students(43.5%) had experenced kimchi-making than the male(26.5%)(p<0.001). Three-fourth of them had made kimchi with their mother. Baechu-kimchi, cheonggak-kimchi, and dongchimi were recommended as the global food.

Herbs have unique tastes and flavors, and they have been used in western foods. This study used herbs to make cookies. The purpose of this study was to investigate the sensory characteristics of cookies with rosemary(1, 2, 3, 4%) and mints(1, 2, 3, 4%) after foretasting herbs. The sample of this study was 880 college students which consisted of 436 males and 444 females. The results of this study were as follows. This study was conducted to find a high quality product through a sensory test with rosemary and mints. First, in terms of foretasting experience, the respondents had tasted 12 herbs. 65.2% of them preferred parsley, followed by mint(45.2%), bay leaf(44.0%), rosemary(28.3%), basil(21.8 %), etc. Second, in terms of the most important items while making herb added to bread and cookies, taste was high with 45.8%, flavor 27.3%, price 10.1%, nutrition 8.5%, etc. There were significant differences between genders and among majors(p<0.001). Third, it was found that appearance was high with 2% added group(M=6.00) in terms of sensory preference. The flavors, tastes, texture, overall acceptability were high with 1% added group in terms of sensory preference of cookies with rosemary. The respondents showed low preference for cookies with mints. While the 1% added mint group showed the highest preference for appearances and texture, the control group showed the highest preference for flavors, tastes and overall acceptability. There was a significant difference in appearances and tastes on all samples except colors and taste of rosemary added cookies $(p<0.05{\sim}p<0.001)$. Fourth, males preferred 2% rosemary added one in appearances and tastes in a sensory test. They preferred the 1% rosemary added group in terms of flavors, texture, and overall acceptability. Females preferred appearances of cookies with 2% rosemary and also preferred flavors, tastes, texture and, overall acceptability with 1% rosemary. Both of them less preferred 4% mint added one. Overall, this study found that respondents preferred 1% rosemary herb cookies. There should be further researches with less than 1% mint to make herb cookies.

The consumption of high-salt foods is an independent risk factor for increased hypertension. Thus, evaluating the relationship of taste sensitivity and pleasantness of high-salt foods such as Korean jang products, would help contribute to an understanding of salty food eating behaviors of the Korean rural elderly. This study aimed to verify the association between taste sensitivity and salinity of Korean jang products, and the preferences of food groups and nutrient intake in the rural elderly. We studied 269 elderly persons (males 83, females 186) aged above 65 years, residing in the rural area, Sunchang gun Jeonbuk. For each subject, a recognition threshold of 4 basic tastes and pleasant concentrations of NaCl were estimated using the sip- and-spit method. Taste preferences, frequency of intake of food groups, nutrient intakes, and salinity and sweetness of Korean jang products (Doenjang, Ganjang, Gochujang) were assessed. No association was found between salt taste recognition threshold and optimally preferred concentration of salt and salinity of Korean jang products. However, the sweet taste recognition threshold was positively related to the sweetness of Korean jang products. Also, the salinity of Doenjang positively correlated with the frequencies of food groups and nutrient intakes. That is to say that the sweet taste sensitivity was related to the sweetness of Korean jang products, but was not sensitive to the salty taste. The salinity of Doenjang correlated with the consumption of food and nutrient intakes. Taken together, these findings suggest the need for appropriate intervention and education to reduce the salinity of Doenjang, which is an important modifiable factor contributing to reducing sodium intake in the rural elderly.

We examined the quality characteristics and texture of Jokpyuns with chicken and codfish. In proportion to the increase of water addition, the color became lighter and the texture characteristics decreased in So-Jokpyuns, which were prepared with cow feet. The texture and taste had an influence on overall preference of So-Jokpyun. Yongbon-Jokpyun which was prepared with cow feet and chicken was much preferred to So-Jokpyun in the appearance and texture, and showed a similar preference with So-Jokpyun. However, Sodaegu-Jokpyun which was prepared with cow feet and codfish was not preferred to So-Jokpyun in all items including appearance and texture, and the overall preference was remarkably low. Overall preference of Yongbong-Jokpyun and Sodaegu-Jokpyun was greatly related with the preference of taste and flavor. The lightness and the degree of yellow color of Yongbong-Jokpyun were higher and the degree of red color was lower than So-Jokpyun. On the other hand, the results of lightness, degree of red and yellow color in Sodaegu-Jokpyun were opposite to those of Yonsbong-Jokpyun. In case of the hardness, Yongbong-Jokpyun was the lowest and Sodaegu-Jokpyun was similar with So-Jokpyun. Adhesiveness of Yongbong-Jokpyun and Sodaesu-Jokryun was lower than that of So-Jokpyun. There was no difference in the springiness and cohesiveness among 3 kinds of Jokpyun.
