The application of consomme prepared with different ratios of ground beef and ground chicken to improve taste preferences and the cost of foodstuffs was attempted by reviewing fundamental data and the effect on the sensory and physical characteristics of treatment These treatments were prepared with different ratios(9:1(A), 7:3(B), 5:5(C), 3:7(D), 1:9(E) w/w) of ground beef and ground chicken, respectively. Sensory properties were evaluated in the aspects of both acceptability and intensity. From the acceptability aspect, A treatment showed the highest scores in smell, B in mouthfeel and taste, A and B in color and overall acceptability, respectively. In terms of acceptability, B treatment was favored most for color, mouthfeel, taste and overall acceptability except smell. The more the ground chicken, the higher the intensity aspect E treatment showed higher values than A in all the intensity aspects. Moisture contents and crude proteins increased by increasing the mixed ratio of ground beef, whereas crude ash, solid matter and pH increased by increasing the mixed ratio of ground chicken. Tumidity values were the highest in E treatment, whereas the lowest in A. Tumidity values were increased significantly by increasing the mixed ratio of ground chicken. Viscosity increased by increasing the mixed ratio of ground chicken. The highest viscosity was shown in E treatment The colorimetric lightness values(L) decreased and redness(a), yellowness(b) and total color difference values(AE) increased significantly by increasing the mixed ratio of ground chicken. This experimental study showed that A and B treatment had the highest values in overall acceptability. The results of analysis in crude protein, solid matter, tumidity and viscosity were increased by increasing the mixed ratio of ground chicken. B treatment prepared with a ratio of 7:3 of ground beef and chicken had the most favorable sensory quality. These results suggested the basic information to improve acceptability and to save the costs of Consomme recipes for foodservice institutions.

We attempted to develop a seafood menu by applying the most preferred recipes to the most disliked seafood menus in order to improve elementary schoolers' seafood menu preferences and consumption levels. A survey was conducted on the attitudes of 106 fifth graders about nine cooking methods and 37 school seafood menus served in the past 2 years. The deep-frying method was the most preferred by both boys and girls. The next preferred methods by boys were grilling and batter-frying while those by girls were stir-frying and batter-frying. The most disliked menus were cold jellyfish salad, mussel soup, dried-pollack soup, and sea-snail salad in that order. Mussel soup, dried-pollack soup, and seasnails salad ranked as the least preferred menu as well. Finally, standardized recipes for mussel croquette, dried-pollack Gangjeong, and batter-fried seasnails were developed. Consumption ratios of mussel croquette (85.94%), dried-pollack Gangjeong (79.55%), and batter-fried seasnails (75.5%) were significantly improved compared to the original menu (p<0.001). For mussel croquette, satisfaction scores for serving size, appearance, flavor, texture, and taste were significantly higher, and intakes of protein, phosphorus, iron, potassium, vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, niacin, and vitamin C were significantly improved, as compared with mussel soup (p<0.001). Dried-pollack Gangjeong, texture and taste scores were significantly improved compared to dried-pollack soup. For batter-fried seasnails, protein, phosphorus, and iron intake levels and taste score were significantly improved compared to seasnail salad. Findings of the study suggest that a combination of disliked seafood ingredients and preferred recipes may be helpful in improving elementary school foodservice by increasing menu preference and consumption ratio.

Present status of school lunch service and satisfaction on it were surveyed by questionnaires with 636 elementary school students in Inchon city. School lunch service was considered positive in 68.3% of the objectives. Most of the students thought the amount of rice and side dishes appropriate. And the ratios of students feeling the food taste fair and good were 36.6% and 56%, respectively. When dislike-foods were served, 58.3% still ate forcedly and 30.4% ate partly. Reasons for not eating up foods were dislike foods(46.7%), too much amount(20.3%), and bad taste(17.5%). Colors and appearance of foods were thought to be fair and good(93.8%). Warm foods were thought to be served warm as they should be(51.5%) and a little colder than they should be(43.5%). 65.4 percent of the students responded to be served cold foods cold enough as they should be. Dining hall was preferred as an eating place(61.4%). Half of the students occasionally washed their hands and 35.0% always did. Those in charge of teaching the table manners were teachers(59.8%), dieticians(16.9%) and principals(4.5%). Sixty-three % of the students felt the dieticians kind. Good changes resulting from the school food service were student could have balanced diet(24.4%) and enjoy eating(18.1%). For better school lunch service it is necessary to provide menu for student's preferences, facilities for maintaining food temperatures, dining halls and opportunities to wash hands prior to eating.

In this investigation, 480 high school students attending school in Seoul, Incheon were surveyed for their knowledge of seaweed and their preference of seaweed products provided during school meal service. Female students answered that they preferred seaweed more than male students. When asked to explain their preference for seaweed, most students who preferred seaweed responded 'it is tasty' (82.9%), while those that did not like seaweed responded 'I don't like the texture when chewing it and it is not tasty' (47.8%). Most students reported that they usually eat 'laver', and the number of times that they at seaweed was '3-4 times a week'. The primary place in which they ate seaweed and the place where they feel it had the best taste was a 'house'. The primary source of information regarding seaweed was mass media including TV, newspapers, magazines and the internet (48.8%). With regard to seaweed in school meals, which is offered twice a week, most students reported, 'I eat seaweed and leave it to some extent.' They perceived 'laver' to be most often provided in school meals, and 57.7% reported that their favorite seaweed meal was 'laver'. When asked why they dislike seaweed in school meals, the most common responses were 'I didn't like seaweed the first time I tried it' (27%) and 'Its taste is different from what I eat at home' (24.6%). The most common request regarding seaweed provided in school lunches was for the taste to be improved (48.2%). Evaluation of the preference for seaweed menus in school meals revealed that both males and females had higher preferences of more than 4 points for 'fried laver' and 'broiled laver'.

This study aimed to identify the factors contributing to perceived healthiness by analyzing consumer reviews of healthy restaurants. While previous studies have primarily focused on the healthiness of food products, comprehensive research from the perspective of restaurants through online review analysis is limited. To achieve this, co-occurrence network analysis and LDA topic modeling, methods of text mining, were used to investigate consumers' health-related perceptions and preferences for healthy restaurants based on a large dataset of online reviews. The analysis revealed that consumers emphasize various health-related factors such as taste, ingredient categories, freshness, price, nutritional content, healthy options, and menu diversity when choosing healthy restaurants. These factors significantly influence the evaluation and selection of restaurants. Notably, it was found that the taste of food offered in healthy restaurants is closely linked to the perception of healthiness, highlighting the importance of a healthy taste derived from ingredients. In conclusion, this study provides practical insights into how healthy restaurants can reflect and meet consumers' health perceptions and suggests strategic directions for the food and dining industry to respond to health trends.

The quality changes of the extracts of salt-fermented Ammodytes personatus during the storage were examined at 1 month interval during 3 months fermentation period. To prepare the extracts of Ammodytes personatus, 17%, 20% and 25% salt were added respectively and then stored for 3 months at room temperature and then extracted with hot water. During the storage, moisture and lipid contents of the samples decreased, but the crude protein contents increased gradually. On the other hand, ash content and pH showed little changes during the fermentation storage. After 6 months fermentation, the extracts of salt-fermented Ammodytes personatus were rich in free amino acids, such as glutamic acid, alanine, lysine, leucine, isoleucine, valine and aspartic acid in the order. As the fermentation progressed, the fish odor, turbidity, salty taste, savory flavor and overall preferences were similar to those of Ammotlytes personatus sauce in the market. The total cell numbers were 450∼570 cfu/mL at 0 day, but there were none revealed during the fermentation.

This qualitative study identifies the perceptions of organic food from the top two largest demographic profiles in Malaysia, which are the Malay and Chinese consumers. A total of four factors have been identified in previous research which are the most influential factors in regards to organic food purchase intentions and are categorized thematically - (1) health consciousness, (2) taste, (3) willingness to pay, as well as (4) family and culture influences. The understanding of the preferences and influences is crucial for foodservice providers and/or operators to not only attract new individuals to try organic food but also to minimize the uncertainty that arises in the food industry and achieve higher goals by understanding customers' perceptions.

Nowadays wine is increasingly enjoyed by a wider range of consumers, and wine certification and quality assessment are key elements in supporting the wine industry to develop new technologies for both wine making and selling processes. There have been many attempts to construct a more methodical approach to the assessment of wines, but most of them rely on objective decision rather than subjective judgement. In this paper, we propose a data mining approach to predict human wine taste preferences that is based on easily available analytical tests at the certification step. We used sequential forward selection and decision tree for this purpose. Experiments with the wine quality dataset from the UC Irvine Machine Learning Repository demonstrate the accuracies of 76.7% and 78.7% for red and white wines respectively.

This study was conducted to investigate Korean soy sauces and Japanese soy sauces for their flavor and taste when they are used for Teriyaki sauce preparation. The results showed the followings; 1. The panelists liked more naturally brewed soy sauce (NBS) than mixed (NBS + acid-hydrolyzed) soy sauces, especially S company's NBS, 501S and Japanese K company's koikuchi NBS were preferred sauces. 2. The preference of Chicken Teriyaki preparation were also appeared to be the highest with S company's NBS, 501S and Japanese K company's koikuchi NBS. Both of them are naturally brewed soy sauces. 3. Chicken Teriyaki Sauce's preference were also high that made from the highly preferred soy sauces, therefore, it would be the better selection with the highly preferred soy sauces for the Chicken Teriyaki preparation. 4. There were no significant difference in preferences between imported NBS and domestic NBS, so it would be good to use Korean NBS for Chicken Teriyaki preparation.
