Abstract

This study evaluated trends in research funding and the present status of food science in Korea with a special emphasis on funding by Korea Science and Engineering Foundation (KOSEF). The proportion of research funds allocated to food science has increased every year in agricultural science. The numbers of group-based programs of KOSEF have been increasing since 1980' and the ratio of individual-based programs decreased in . this-field. Researchers in the food science field ranges. from 46 to 50 years of age, with a mean age of 47. Mid- to long-term research master plans will be required to encourage food science research in Korea.
