A Survey of Food and Nutrient Intakes of the Eged People in Rural Area, Gyeongbuk Yecheon

This research has done for 262 people of the aged men and women that are more than 65 years old who are live in 9 areas of Yecheon as target; through twice of face to face interview for 24 hours recall method, the result of food intake for 2 days is as following. In case of energy, the aged men (women) of sixties ingested 67.7 (72.0)% of Korean RDA by 1,369 (1264) kcal, for the ages of seventies and eighties, 68.9 (66.9)% of Korean RDA and 76.3 (65.8)% by each 1,309 (1104) kcal and 1,368 (1052) kcal. The aged men ingested protein 46.0~49.6 g (70.6~82.9% of RDA), and aged women ingested protein 32.7~40.2 g (59.4~73.0% of RDA). Calcium intake of aged men was 388.8 mg, 319.8 mg, 284.4 mg by age range, and aged women was 291.9 mg (41.6% of RDA), 246.5 mg (35.3% of RDA), 240.1 mg (34.3% of RDA). Iron intake of aged men was 8.6~8.9 mg (72~74% of RDA), and aged women ingested 8.6 mg (71.3% of RDA), 7.5 mg (62.6 of RDA%), 6.6 mg (55.4% of RDA) for iron by age range. Vitamin B1 intake of aged men was 0.62~0.71 mg (62~71% of RDA), and aged women's intake was 0.50~0.60 mg (50~60% of RDA). Vitamin B2 intake of aged men was 0.59~0.60 mg (49% of RDA), and aged women's intake was 0.45~0.50 mg (37~42% of RDA). Vitamin C intake by age range, in case of aged men (women) in sixties was 53.1 (48.9) mg, in seventies was 49.9 (33.2) mg and more than eighties was 34.1 (33.4) mg. The average food intake by age range, in aged men (women) of sixties was 828.9 (670.8) g and seventies was 726.8 (568.8) g and more than eighties was 656.0 (525.3) g.

Aged men and women's KDDS points represent average 3.14 and 3.04 (out of 5 points), and while intake of the milk was the most lacking, but intake of the fruit was the most lacking in DDS.

Microbiological Quality and Change in Vitamin C Contents of Vegetables Prepared at Industrial Foodservice Institutions in Kumi

This study was investigated to see the microbiological results(total plate counts, coliforms) and vitamin C contents in cooking five kinds of raw and cooked vegetables, contributing to a data base for making better environment for foodservice, dividing cooking methods into two ways which was generally used at industrial foodservice institutions. Namul and Saengchae, especially Radish Saengchae, seasoned with red pepper powder after seasoning showed higher level of total plate counts and coliforms than guide line. After holding, just before serving, most Namul and Saengchae, except Bean sprout Muchim, showed higher microbiological level than guide line, Saengchae seasoned with soybean, salt, and red pepper paste and Radish Saengchae seasoned with salt and vinegar showed high level of vitamin C remaining rate. By the result of this study, better sanitary treatment and scientific cooking method is demanded when Namuls of Saenchaes are prepared with served in industrial foodservice institutions.
