This study explored the academic emotions of university freshmen depending on the type of online class(pre-recorded lecture vs. real time online class) that they took during the COVID-19 lockdown. 170 freshmen participated in the survey based on the 'Academic Emotion Questionnaire(AEQ)', and the statistical results are as follows; Firstly, research showed that the participants felt higher positive emotions for pre-recorded lecture than for real time online class, and higher negative emotions for real time online class than for pre-recorded lecture(p < .01). Secondly, participants felt different emotions depending on English level(p < .01). Thirdly, participants felt different emotions depending on their majors(p < .01). Students majoring in science & engineering felt higher positive emotions than those in humanities & social studies in pre-recorded lecture class. Fourthly, participants felt different emotions depending on gender(p < .01). Female students felt higher negative emotions than male students. Finally, the pedagogical implications and suggestions were discussed.

We evaluated the nutritional value of a Monascus pilosus mycelial ethanolic extract (MEM) and culture filtrate (CFM) by determining the contents of monacolin K and citrinin, and by measuring antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. The yields of freeze-dried MEM and CFM powder were 4.02% and 3.35% of wet weight, respectively. Pigment content ($OD_{500}$ value) of MEM (0.79) and CFM (0.63) were lower than those of commercial rice beni-koji ethanolic extracts (EERB) (0.87), but were in good agreement with the L*, a*, and b* values and the hue angles of the products. The total monacolin K content of MEM (24.91 mg%) was higher than those of CFM (1.27 mg%) and EERB (14.65 mg%). However, the active monacolin K content of EERB (5.48 mg%) was higher than those of MEM (3.35 mg%) and CFM (0.4 mg%). Citrinin was not detected in any sample. The total polyphenol content of MEM (4.68%, w/w) was similar to that of CFM (4.29%, w/w), thus 13.75.20.94% higher than that of EERB. The total flavonoid content of EERB was 6.8.7.0-fold higher than those of MEM (0.64%, w/w) and CFM (0.66%, w/w). The total antioxidant capacity of CFM (3.51%, w/w) was 1.62.2.08-fold higher than those of MEM (2.74%, w/w) and EERB (1.69%, w/w). The electron-donating capacities of 1% (w/v) solutions of CFM, MEM, BHT, and EERB were 86.20%, 77.25%, 77.25%, and 44.82%, respectively, and the corresponding reducing powers ($OD_{700}$ values) were 2.1, 2.4, 1.1, and 1.6, respectively. SOD(superoxide dismutase)-like activities were in the order MEM (39.85%) > BHT (37.68%) > EERB (26.70%) > CFM (21.5%). Although the TBARS (% value) of MEM was a little lower than that of BHT, it was higher than those of CFM and EERB. The antibacterial activities of CFM acting on Bacillus brevis and Escherichia coli were somewhat higher than those of MEM, whereas the activities of MEM on Bacillus subtilis, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Salmonella enteritidis were higher than those of CFM. However, the antibacterial activities of MEM and CFM were less than those of EERB and BHT. In conclusion, although further studies are needed, we offer experimental evidence that the by-products of M. pilosus MEM and CFM contain significant antioxidant and antimicrobial activities that may be useful in the development of healthy foods.

We arrive at the conclusion as follows as for the connection between dietary life, hours of exercise and growth of body, based on the survey of their height, this circumference of the breast and their body weight, and the questionnaires to the pupils of 36,547 in totals (contained the primary and middle school boys and girls) in four districts(named A, B, C and D district) of Jeonlla Bug Do from April, 1970 to March, 1973. (1) The growth in height. The boys from 6 to 7 years old are nearly same in all districts, but as age increases, those of A district grow more rapidly than those of B, C and D districts, while those of B, C and D districts grow almost samely. The girls already from 6 years old on are different between A district and B, C, D district. The average of height in Jeonlla Bug Do is not different from that of Gyungi Do and whole nation in the pupils from 6 to 11 years old, and that of Japan from 6 to 7 of age, while it falls behind them as age increases. (2) The growth in the circumference of the breast. The boys from 6 to 9 years old show nearly the same tendency in all districts, after that age the boys in A district tend to grow rapidly, those in B district most fall behind, and those in C, D districts show the same tendency. Contrasted with height the growth in the circumference of the breast does not show the difference in each district so far as 14 of age, but after 15 years old it shows a little difference by falling behind of pupils in A district, while those B, C, D districts show almost the same tendency. The average of the circumference of the breast in Jeonlla Bug Do of the pupils from 10 to 11 of age is almost same to that of Gyungi Do, whole nation and Japan, but shows difference after that age. (3) The growth of body weight. The body weight of boys over-all the investigated whole age shows the superiority in A district and a little lowness in D district which is almost same to that of B, C districts. In that of girls, A district is superior in from 6 to 9 of age, and all districts are nearly same after that age. The average in Jeonlla Bug Do is one and the same to those of Gyungi Do, whole nation and Japan as in the height, but shows the great difference as years grow. (4) The dietary life of the pupils in Jeonlla Bug Do depends chiefly upon a carbohydrate and is very low in the intake of fat and protein. Connected with a view point of districts, the intake of protein is a little more in A district than in the other districts, and is nearly same in the other districts. They tend more to eat mixed food, but about 40% of them do not yet eat it. The contents and taking of lunch is bad in the highest degree, to which their parents are entirely indifferent. As far as the hours of exercise are concerned with, about 40% of all pupils must go to the school from very far, which gives them the heavy physical suffering, and especially it is remarked that the middle school boys and girls should attend school from farther than the primary school boys and girls.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of red yeast rice addition on the physical characteristics of sourdough starters ($SD1{\sim}4$) and the quality characteristics of sourdough bread (CSB, $SDB1{\sim}3$). Moisture contents of red yeast rice, wheat flour, and rye flour were 6.15, 12.53, and 8.56%; ash contents were 0.15, 0.44, and 1.64%; protein contents were 7.30, 12.57, and 11.18%; crude lipid contents were 0.97, 1.16, and 2.49%, respectively. The pH decreased with increasing red yeast rice addition. Reducing sugar and total sugar increased with increasing red yeast rice addition. Lactic acid bacteria were not detected from 0 day for all samples and was maximum on the 2nd day. The yeast counts of SD1 were not detected from $0{\sim}4th$ day, but $SD2{\sim}4$ increased until the 3rd day. Peak time, peak value, and width of tail of CSB were higher than $SDB1{\sim}3$, and they increased with increasing red yeast rice contents of sourdough. The fermentation expansive power of $SDB1{\sim}3$ was higher than that of CSB. Baking loss and specific volume of SDB1 were higher than other samples and when baking loss of CSB and SDB1${\sim}$3 increased, the specific volume increased. L values decreased with increasing red yeast rice contents of sourdough bread whereas, a and b values increased. Springiness and brittleness of CSB and gumminess of SCB1 were lower than other samples. Springiness, brittleness, and gumminess increased with increasing red yeast rice content of sourdough bread. The sensory evaluation indicated that color, hardness, springiness, sweetness, and sourness increased with increasing red yeast rice content of sourdough bread. Aircell non-uniformity of SDB1 was lower than other samples, whereas off-flavor was higher than other samples.

Food irradiation has recently become one of the most successful techniques to preserve food with increased shelf life. This study aims to analyze hydrocarbons in almonds (Prunus amygosalus L.) and peanuts (Arachis hypogaea) induced by electron beam irradiation. The samples were irradiated at 0, 1, 3, 5 and 10 kGy by e-beam and using florisil column chromatography fat, and content was extracted. The induced hydrocarbons were identified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The major hydrocarbons in both irradiated samples were 1,7-hexadecadiene ($C_{16:2}$) and 8-heptadecene ($C_{17:1}$) from oleic acid, 1,7,10-hexadecatriene ($C_{16:3}$) and 6,9-heptadecadiene ($C_{17:2}$) from linoleic acid and 1-tetradecene ($C_{14:1}$) and pentadecane ($C_{15:0}$) from palmitic acid. Concentrations of the hydrocarbons produced by e-beam were found to be depended upon the composition of fatty acid in both almonds and peanuts. The $C_{n-2}$ compound was found to be higher than $C_{n-1}$ compound in oleic acid and palmitic acid, while in case of linoleic acid, $C_{n-1}$compound was higher than $C_{n-2}$ compound. The radiation induced hydrocarbons were detected only in irradiated samples, with 1 kGy or above, and not in the non-irradiated ones. The production of 1,7-hexadecadiene ($C_{16:2}$), 8-heptadecene ($C_{17:1}$), 1,7,10-hexadecatriene ($C_{16:3}$) and 6,9-heptadecadiene ($C_{17:2}$), in high concentration gave enough information to suggest that these may be the possible marker compounds of electron beam irradiation in almonds and peanuts.

We investigated the ability of soybean curd residue (SCR) and its fermented products to inhibit obesity and improve the blood lipid profiles of obese mice fed a high-fat diet. Samples were prepared by fermenting SCR with Aspergillus oryzae var effuses KACC 44990 (ASCR), a microbe used for the fermentation of traditional Korean Meju, and with Monascus pilosus IFO 4480 (MSCR), a microbe used for the production of red rice. In addition, AMSCR, a mixture composed of equal amounts of ASCR and MSCR, was also prepared. Male mice were divided into six groups and fed with either a normal diet, a high-fat diet, or a high-fat diet supplemented with SCR, ASCR, MSCR, or AMSCR. After 8 weeks, body weight gain, serum and hepatic lipid profiles, and the activities of enzymes that generate or scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) were evaluated. Compared with the high-fat diet group, all the test groups showed a significant reduction in body, organ, and epididymal fat weight gain. These effects were observed with supplements in the order AMSCR>ASCR>MSCR>SCR. Similarly, supplements of test samples reduced high levels of serum and hepatic triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol caused by hight-fat diet, while high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol was increased. Interestingly, the ability of ASCR to lower serum TG was stronger than that of MSCR, while MSCR showed a stronger hypocholesterolemic effect than ASCR. Meanwhile, AMSCR returned comprehensively serum lipid levels to normal. In addition, hepatic damage was prevented with effects in the order AMSCR>ASCR>MSCR>SCR. Hepatic ROS generating system including xanthine oxidase (XO) and ROS scavenging system including superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPX) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) were recovered to normal level by all test diets. In conclusion, this study suggests that SCR and its fermented products can inhibit obesity and improve lipid profiles.

The purpose of this study was to compare energy intake according to expected body mass index (BMI) in adolescents. A total of 280 middle school students were divided into current or/and expected obesity groups (underweight group; UWG, normal weight group; NWG, and overweight group; OWG) by BMI to compare energy intake and perception on body shape and weight control. The average age of total subjects was 15 years, and the distributions of boys and girls were 52.5% and 47.5%, respectively. The distribution of boys and girls was not significantly different among current obesity groups but was among expected obesity groups (15% and 82% in UWG vs. 71.4% and 16.5% NWG vs. 13.6% and 1.5% in OWG; P<0.001), indicating that girls wanted to lose weight more than boys. For body shape, most subjects in current obesity groups responded "fitness" in UWG (38.7%), "fitness" and "slightly chubby" in NWG (45.5% and 39%), and "slightly chubby" in OWG (65.2%), showing a significant difference (P<0.001). For interest in weight control, most subjects responded "average" in current UWcinterested" in current OWG (52.2%), whereas they responded "very interested" in expected UWG (55.7%), "average" in expected NWG (51.2%), and "not interested" in expected OWG (45.5%), showing a significant difference (P<0.001). The percentage of subjects with experience with weight control was significantly high in current OWG (71.7%), NWG (51.2%) and UWG (34.2%) as well as in expected UWG (57.3%), NWG (40.2%) and OWG (36.4%) in descending order (P<0.001). The daily energy intake of total subjects was 2,057.1 kcal without any significant difference among current obesity groups. However, it was significantly lower in expected UWG than expected NWG and OWG (1,943.1 kcal vs. 2,165.0 kcal or/and 2,152.1 kcal; P<0.001). To sum up these results, girls wanted to lose weight more than boys. The more students wanted to lose weight, the greater their experience and interest in weight control and the lower their energy intake.

The purpose of this research is to study the effects of feeding dietary citrus byproducts TMR (total mixed ration) on physicochemical properties and sensory characteristics of Korean native beef loin (KNBL). The samples for experiment consist of the KNBL not fed with citrus byproducts (TMR-0) and the KNBL fed with citrus byproducts during fattening period (TMR-1). The control (TMR-0) KNBL was fed by general practical feeding (roughages and concentrates were fed separately), while the TMR-1 KNBL was fed by the same as TMR-0 until 17 months yearling but was fed by citrus byproducts feeding for 10 months after that. The $L^*(lightness),\;a^*(redness)\;and\;b^*(yellowness)$ value were not significantly different between TMR-0 and TMR-1. The pH of TMR-1 was lower than that of TMR-0 (p<0.05), the VBN content, TBARS value and EDA were not significantly different between TMR-0 and TMR-1. The water holding capacity, frozen loss and cooking loss were not significantly different between TMR-0 and TMR-1, but thawing loss of TMR-0 was higher than that of TMR-1 (p<0.05). The hardness of TMR-0 was higher than that of TMR-1, and the springiness of TMR-1 was higher than that of TMR-0 (p<0.05), but the cohesiveness, gumminess, chewiness and shear force were not significantly different between TMR-0 and TMR-1. The pH and VBN content during storage were not significantly different between TMR-0 and TMR-1, but the TBARS value of TMR-1 stored during 4 weeks was lower than that of TMR-0 (p<0.05). In case of sensory score, the color and aroma of raw meat, and the taste, juiciness and palatability of cooked meat were not significantly different between TMR-0 and TMR-1. But the flavor and tenderness of TMR-1 were superior than those of TMR-0 (p<0.05)

In this study, the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of chicken press ham not fed with citrus byproduct (T0) and fed with citrus byproduct (T1) were compared. There was not a significant difference in moisture, crude protein, crude fat, crude ash, crude fiber, Hunter's $L^*$ (lightness), $a^*$ (redness), $b^*$ (yellowness), hardness, springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess, chewiness, shear force, water holding capacity and pH between T0 and T1. There was not a significant difference between T0 and T1 in terms of the chicken ham's VBN (volatile basic nitrogen) content for the first three weeks of storage, but after the fourth week of storage, the VBN content was 15.1 and 13.7 mg% for T0 and T1, respectively, which implies that feeding citrus byproduct significantly reduced the VBN content. There was not a significant difference between T0 and T1 in terms of the chicken press ham's TBARS (2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances) value for the first two weeks of storage. However, the TBARS value was 0.31 and 0.22 mg malonaldehyde/kg for T0 and T1 during the third week of storage, and 0.49 and 0.32 mg malonaldehyde/kg for T0 and T1 during the fourth week of storage. There was not a significant difference between T0 and T1 in terms of the chicken press ham's TPC (total plate counts) for the first three weeks of storage, but after the fourth week of storage, the TPC was 4.96 and 4.72 log CFU/g for T0 and T1, respectively, which implies that T1 showed a significantly lower TPC than T0. T1 showed significantly higher aroma, taste, and palatability of the chicken press ham than T0, but there was a not significant difference in texture and juiciness between T0 and T1.
