The survey was conducted from January to August 2018.

Reasons for purchasing HMR in male and female subjects were shown significantly different from saving time by 44.8% and50.5% and easy cooking by 25.8% and 16.6%, respectively (p<0.01). HMR products with high preference and satisfactionfor the subjects included Gimbap, precooked dried rice, and frozen food. According to the Importance-Performance Analysis(IPA), selective attributes of HMR with high importance and low satisfaction in the second quadrant were food additives,origin, nutrient content, and price, for both male and female subjects; additionally, hygiene was a factor included only byfemale subjects.
