Exploration of an effective method to determine the relative sweetness of natural alternative sweeteners: Comparison of two-alternative forced-choice test and generalized labeled magnitude scale

출판일자. 202202 Abstract The relative sweetness (RS) of natural alternative sweeteners is influenced by their distinct flavors and temporal profiles but also by the determination method. This study investigated the reported RS of natural alternative sweeteners using two methods-the two-alternative forced-choice (2-AFC) test and generalized labeled magnitude scale (g-LMS). The 2-AFC test and g-LMS were […]

Sweetness profiles of glycosyl rebaudioside A and binary mixtures with sugar alcohols in aqueous solution and a lemonade model system

출판일자. 202203 Abstract BACKGROUND The demands for better-tasting alternative sweeteners have driven efforts to improve the sensory properties of rebaudioside A (Reb-A), such as glycosylation and blending with bulk sweeteners. This study attempted to (i) investigate the sensory profiles of a novel sweetener, glycosyl rebaudioside A (gReb-A), and its 1:1 mixtures with erythritol or maltitol, […]

Consumers better explained drivers of liking for products containing complex flavor with subtle differences than trained panelists: Comparison between consumer-driven free-comment analysis and descriptive analysis of tomato sauce with added garlic flavorings

출판일자. 202206 Abstract Owing to difficulties associated with profiling and differentiation, it is challenging to identify drivers of liking of samples that contain complex flavor but have subtle differences. This study compared the efficacy of free-comment (FC) analysis with descriptive analysis (DA) for profiling the sensory characteristics of tomato sauce with added garlic flavoring to […]

The role of food stereotype in hedonic judgment of a delicacy food: A case study of Korean consumers liking for sliced raw fish (sashimi)

출판일자. 202212 Abstract For a delicacy food that it is not routinely consumed, the criteria by which consumers determine whether they like it may not be clear. For such foods, it is highly likely that external cues, such as information, play an important role in sensory perception and hedonic judgment. However, such information may have […]

Dietary supplementation with Korean pine nut oil decreases body fat accumulation and dysregulation of the appetite-suppressing pathway in the hypothalamus of high-fat diet-induced obese mice.

출판일자. 202206 Abstract BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Korean pine nut oil (PNO) has been reported to suppress appetite by increasing satiety hormone release. However, previous studies have rendered inconsistent results and there is lack of information on whether dietary Korean PNO affects the expression of satiety hormone receptors and hypothalamic neuropeptides. Therefore, our study sought to evaluate the […]

The effects of 1,25(OH)2D3 treatment on maturation and intracellular metabolic pathways of bone marrow-derived dendritic cells from lean and obese mice.

출판일자. 202205 Abstract Vitamin D affects differentiation, maturation, and activation of dendritic cells(DCs). Obesity-related immune dysfunction is associated with metabolicchanges in immune cells. Objectives of the study are to investigate the effects ofvitamin D and obesity on immune responses and markers related to immuno-metabolism of bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs). Bone marrowcells (BMCs) were isolated […]

The effects of 1,25(OH)2D3 treatment on metabolic reprogramming and maturation in bone marrow-derived dendritic cells from control and diabetic mice.

출판일자. 202209 Abstract Activated dendritic cells (DCs) undergo significant metabolic reprogramming, which is characterized by an increase in aerobic glycolysis and a concurrent progressive loss of oxidative phosphorylation. The modulation of metabolic reprogramming is believed to be closely related to the function of DCs. Vitamin D has been reported to inhibit the maturation of DCs. […]

Association between the mediterranean diet and cognitive health among healthy adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis

출판일자. 202207 Abstract Background: An increasing prevalence of cognitive disorders warrants comprehensive systematic reviews on the effect of diet on cognitive health. Studies have suggested that the Mediterranean (MeDi) diet has protective effects against metabolic diseases. However, comprehensive systematic reviews on the effect of the MeDi diet on the cognitive decline are limited. We investigated […]

Development and Validation of a Questionnaire on the Feasibility of a Mobile Dietary Self-Monitoring Application 식습관 관리 애플리케이션의 적용 가능성에 대한 설문지 개발 및 타당성 연구

출판일자. 202204 Abstract Objectives: This study aimed to develop and assess the content validity and internal consistency of a questionnaire on the feasibility of mobile dietary self-monitoring applications.  Methods: We developed a feasibility questionnaire to assess the overall usage, convenience, usefulness, and satisfaction of mobile dietary applications. The initial draft of the questionnaire contained 17 […]

Reproducibility of a food frequency questionnaire: Korea Nurses’ Health Study

출판일자. 202202 Abstract Background/objectives: This study aimed to examine the reproducibility of food frequency questionnaires (FFQs) designed for young female nurses in the Korea Nurses' Health Study. Subjects/methods: The reproducibility of web-based, self-administered FFQs was evaluated among 243 Korean female nurses. The first FFQ (FFQ1) was administered from March 2014 to February 2019 and the […]
