Abstract

The purpose of the study was to investigate the perception and preference of chungkukjang in the middle school students under school meal service. For the investigation, 538 third-grade students in Seoul area were surveyed by a questionnaire and the data were analyzed by the SAS package. The result showed that 81.3% of the surveyed students responded the awareness of chungkukjang, and the motives of their interest in chungkukjang were through home education(60.0%) and mass communication(30.9%). Most students recognized that chungkukjang is the soybean fermented food, healthy food and Korean traditional food. 33.8% of students responded that chungkukjang jjigae served at the school meal service was not tasty. It also revealed that male students had more preference for chungkukjang jjigae than female students. Among the 22 kinds of new chungkukjang menu served at the school meal service in the future, 10 kinds of menu (chungkukjang samgeobsal gui, samgeobsal chungkukjang bockum, chungkukjang sauce dakk gui, chungkukjang dongasmali, chungkukjang sogogi janggug, chungkukjang kimchi bokgumbab, chungkukjang bajirak kalguksu, chungkukjang kimchi buchim, chungkukjang sangsun gut, chungkukjang bibimbab) were highly preferred foods by male students. Therefore, in order to make middle school students take the chungkukjang foods with pride by increasing their perception and knowledge of them, the family should give them many opportunities to eat chungkukjang foods. The school also should try to use more chungkukjang foods in the school meal service, and try to improve in cooking process to make more tasty chungkukjang foods fur teenagers.
