Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine the food consumption behavior, the attitudes to food sanitation and the HACCP(?) knowledge of college students. Questionnaires were collected from 130 students in Daejeon University. The subjects mainly purchased their food at big discount stores and thought of expiration date as a most important factor considered. When purchasing the grocery, female students seldom took the convenience cooking into consideration, however, 10.3% of male students concerned it(p<0.05). In subjects' knowledge of food hygiene, the average score was 16.21 and in their performance(p<0.05)of it, the average score was 11.14. Especially in their knowledge of separate food storage, the average point was 5.03 and in their performance of it(p<0.05), the average point was 2.84. 72% of respondents had ever experienced food sanitation education. Of students who answered that food sanitation education was very helpful, the number of students living in university dormitory or boarding houses was as much again as that of students living in their own places. 82.2% of students did not know about HACCP system. They wanted to know 'the meaning(43%)', 'the necessity' (19.6%), 'the advantage(9.3%)' of HACCP and 'the kinds of food products adopting HACCP(28%)'.
