JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe purpose of this study is to explore the characteristics for consumer behavior (buying and disposal behaviors); to investigate the related characteristics of the elderly's consumer behavior between Japan and Korea through the comparison with young elderly people. The data were collected from a probability sample consisting of 2, 454 respondents in Japan and Korea.
The major findings of this survey are as follows :
1) The levels of both buying behavior and disposal behavior of the elderly people in Japan are higher than those of their young-elderly counterpart, while the disposal behavior of the elderly people in Korea is higher than that of the young-elderly counterpart.
2) The level of disposal behavior is higher than those of buying behavior in both Japan and Korea.
3) Several relevant characteristics of the elderly people have independent effects on the buying behavior, especially “shopping experience, ” “substitute consciousness” have positive effects on buying behavior, while “age, ” “shopping experience, ” and “substitute consciousness” have positive effects on the disposal behavior in both Japan and Korea.View full abstractDownload PDF (1242K) -
Actual Conversation between Mother and Elementary School Child during MealsMiyuki OKADA2001 Volume 52 Issue 4 Pages 315-324

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe objective of this study is to examine from the educational point of view the actual condition of conversation between mother and child at meal time.
The results are as follows :
1) Conversation between mother and child tends to have more contents of their life and less contents of knowledge sharing. Mother and daughter tends to have more communication than mother and son.
2) Educational conversation is closely related to the number of times they have conversation, warm dinner table conversation, and intensity of their conversation.
3) Tenderness combined with strictness is the image the child holds of his or her mother who tries to share her knowledge.
4) The conversation that has educational significance is only partially related to mother's occupation.View full abstractDownload PDF (1485K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe effects of DHA-enriched foods and commercially available marine products on improving the dietary fatty acid balance were investigated by evaluating the change in n-6/n-3 ratio by adding these samples to model menus. The dietary n-6/n-3 ratio of each model menu was high.
The fatty acid composition of 15 samples of DHA-enriched foods and of 19 commercially available marine products was measured. All samples were rich in C 16 : 0, C 18 : 0, C 18 : 1 and C 18 : 2. The DHA (C 22 : 6) content of each sample labeled as DHA enriched on the package varied from non-detectable to 8.4% of total fatty acids, while that of soft drinks and confectionery was small, although being labeled as DHA enriched.
The dietary n-6/n-3 ratio of the model menus was adjusted to an appropriate level by the addition of appropriate samples containing more than 1 g/100 g of n-3 PUFA.View full abstractDownload PDF (1232K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSWe analyzed the latex antigens in rubber products, i.e., gloves, baby bottle nipples, baby pacifiers, rubber balloon, rubber ball and toy caterpillar, by immunoblotting, inhibition ELISA and inhibition immunoblotting. The rubber gloves and rubber balloon were found to contain some common latex antigens present in C-serum to a much greater degree than the other rubber products.
It has recently been reported that diethylhexyl phthalic acid, one of the endocrine disruptors, was detected at a high concentration in meals prepared by using polyvinyl chloride gloves. It is thus proposed that the incidence of allergy by using rubber gloves will increase in our daily life. Although latex allergy is not commonly recognized in Japan, persons who are frequently exposed to latex antigens should be cautious of the immediate type of allergy.View full abstractDownload PDF (1477K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe passage velocity of various types of food in the pharynx when healthy individuals swallowed was measured by the ultrasonic pulse Doppler method in order to clarify the relationship between the rheological property of each type of food and the relative difficulty of aspiration.
The food types tested were divided into two categories; one comprised food that patients with dysphagia could aspirate easily (EA category) and the other comprised food that was more difficult to aspirate (DA category). The mean velocity (VMEAN), maximum velocity (VMAX), degree of velocity dispersion (spectrum area : SA), and the time for swallowing (ST) in the pharynx were compared between the two food categories.
As a result, VMEAN and VMAX values for each food in the DA category were significantly lower, while SA was significantly lower than each food in the EA category (p< 0.01). ST was 0.9-1.1 (s), but bore no relationship with the difficulty of aspiration. The food in the EA category was statistically distinguishable from that in the DA category by a cluster analysis.
The results show a close relationship between the passage velocity of food in the pharynx and the difficulty of aspiration to the trachea for the food.View full abstractDownload PDF (3548K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe possible utilization as food of linseed oil containing a large proportion of a-linolenic acid, an n-3 poly unsaturated fatty acid, was studied. Linseed oil was oxidized very slowly during storage at 4°C, so we judged that it could be stably kept for 8 weeks at 4°C. Linseed oil was gradually oxidized at 20°C, but the addition of roasted sesame oil was effective for suppressing this oxidation. The fatty acid composition of linseed oil scarcely changed during the storage, showing that the content of α-linolenic acid was more than 50%. Mayonnaise made from linseed oil remained stable in are frigerator and its composition scarcely changed during 8 weeks. The addition of roasted sesame oil to the mayonnaise further improved its oxidative stability and acceptability.View full abstractDownload PDF (974K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSPrevious studies show that Japanese people have both interest and concern in the environment and its problems, and that their interest and concern, however, does not necessarily drive them to actions to solve the problems.
The purpose of this study is to find a way to leading students into taking action on the environmental problems from the food preparation instructors' point of view.
For analysis, a questionnaire was sent to 142 food preparation instructors to ask about teaching of environmental issues in their food preparation class. Findings show that it is important to increase the students' awareness of the environmental impact of food purchased for preparation, and that the students should purchase foodstuff before their class starts.View full abstractDownload PDF (980K) -
