Standard recipes of various fish dishes for cook/chill system were developed to provide foodservice managers in kindergarten with more effective management system. Three kinds of fish dishes, Broiled Mackerel, Flounder Stew and Squid Bulgogi were selected as menu items in this study, and the standard recipes for these fish dishes were developed through the sensory evaluation, and microbiological analyses were performed to assure the quality of fish dishes. The microbial counts of the fish dishes which were chilled at 0∼3$^{\circ}C$ and stored for 10 days in refrigerator were as follows : Aerobic bacteria were not detected in Broiled Mackerel; however, those in Flounder Stew were 2.92${\pm}$0.01∼3.84 ${\pm}$0.06 Log CFU/g and those in Squid Bulgogi were 3.16${\pm}$0.01∼4.80${\pm}$0.02 Log CFU/g. Coliform bacteria were not detected in any fish dishes. All the sensory characteristics showed no significant differences between the first and third day of storage, except the feeling after swallowing of Flounder Stew. Overall acceptability scores of chilled stored foods in the first and third day were 6.87${\pm}$0.99 and 6.40${\pm}$1.40 in Broiled Mackerel, 6.87${\pm}$0.35 and 6.73${\pm}$1.10 in Flounder Stew, 6.13${\pm}$0.99 and 6.07 ${\pm}$0.80 in Squid Bulgogi, respectively.

Sundubu, Pork-Bulgogi, Kimchi-pork, Pork rib, Samgyetang, Stir-fried squid, Stir-fried chicken, Braised potato, Braised tofu and Jabchae were selected as takeout-style Korean food items. Sensory evaluation using a 9-point hedonic scale was conducted with residents in Honolulu, Hawaii during a 2 month market test. Among the respondents in the sensory evaluation, Japanese and Americans constituted 32.8% and 25.3%, respectively, of total respondents, which reflect the residential races in the state of Hawaii. The sensory scores of each attribute were judged as follows : aroma 7.2~8.2, color 7.0~8.2, flavor 7.2~8.2, overall preference; pork rib 8.2, pork Bulgogi=braised potato 8.1, stir-fried chicken 8.0, kimchi pork 7.9, Sundubu 7.6, Jabchae and braised tofu 7.5, stir-fried squid 7.2, Samgyetang 7.0. In a satisfaction survey using a 5 point scale after a 2 month market test, the scores of each satisfaction attribute such as quality, price, convenience, difference, etc. were shown to range from 4.1-4.6, indicating that 10 take out-style Korean food items were very popular with Hawaiian consumers. These results suggest that Korean food items are competitive with other ethnic foods in the Hawaii market.

This study was performed to investigate menu preferences of adult customers for Korean food made from Korean traditional sauces. A total of 962 valid responses were used for data analysis. Statistical analyses were conducted using the SPSS package program (ver 20.0). The results of this study are summarized as follows: overall preferences were highest for braised spareribs, followed by braised short ribs, grilled beef ribs, and bulgogi. On the other hand, overall preferences were lowest in eggplant namul, followed by squid and radish soup, and grazed lotus roots and burdock. Female's overall preferences were significantly higher than male's for nine menu items, including japchae and seasoned acorn starch curd with vegetables, whereas male's overall preferences were significantly higher than female's for 19 menu items, including grilled deodeok and frozen pollack stew. Moreover, the menu item that was most significantly preferred was soybean sprouts soup in subjects aged under 20 years and Korean meatballs in subjects in their twenties. Subjects in their forties showed significantly higher preferences for 15 menu items, including braised hairtail, grilled deodeok, and seasoned and grilled yellow corvina compared to other age groups. Furthermore, menu preferences of production service workers were significantly higher than other groups for frozen pollack stew, loach stew, grilled dried pollack, steamed dry pollack, dried pollack soup, eggplant namul, and seasoned and grilled yellow corvina, whereas menu preferences of official professional workers and students were significantly higher than those of production service workers for braised short ribs, grilled beef ribs, seasoned and simmered chicken, mixed noodles, Korean meatballs, stir-fried rice pasta with vegetables, spicy soft bean curd stew, japchae, mung bean jelly mixed with vegetables and beef, bibimbap, and stir-fried squid. The results show that menu preferences of adults customers differed depending on gender, age, and occupation. In conclusion, the results of this study should provide foodservice managers with information about menu planning for target customers of commercial or non-commercial foodservice cafeterias and recipe development of low-sodium Korean foods.
