Abstract The aim of this study was to compare the fat, sugar, and sodium contents in ready-to-heat type home meal replacements (HMR) distributed in Korea to those found in restaurant foods. A total of 80 samples of HMR including three types of rice (n = 13), three types of porridge (n = 13), six types of soup (n = 25), and six types of stew (n = 29) were collected in 2019. The fat, total sugar, and sodium contents in HMR were determined, whereas those found in restaurant foods were obtained from the Korean food composition database. HMR tend to have similar or lower total saturated and total trans fatty acid contents, but a greater total sugar content as compared to those of restaurant foods. No distinct difference was observed in the sodium content between HMR and restaurant foods. The total saturated and total trans fatty acid contents and total sugar content per serving in both HMR and restaurant foods were at low levels (i.e., 1.9–22.2, 0.5–13.2, and 0.1–2.9 %, respectively) compared to their recommended maximum daily intake values, whereas their sodium content per serving was relatively higher (i.e., 20.4–101.9 % of the maximum daily intake value).

韩国即热型家庭代餐食品和餐厅食品中脂肪、糖和钠含量的比较

摘要 本研究的目的是比较韩国销售的即热型家庭膳食替代品 (HMR) 与餐厅食品中的脂肪、糖和钠含量。共收集了 80 份 HMR 样品，包括 3 种米饭（n = 13）、3 种粥（n = 13）、6 种汤（n = 25）和 6 种炖菜（n = 29） 2019 年测定了 HMR 中的脂肪、总糖和钠含量，而餐厅食品中的含量则来自韩国食品成分数据库。与餐厅食品相比，HMR 的总饱和脂肪酸和总反式脂肪酸含量往往相似或更低，但总糖含量更高。HMR 和餐厅食品的钠含量没有明显差异。
