"Blue Food" is recognized as an eco-friendly and healthy food worldwide. It is also scientifically proven that marine products contribute to public health and have great value as future food. Our people's fishery consumption is also high worldwide.
The protein content of tuna is 27.4% of the total nutritional content, the highest among fish. Compared to meat such as pork (19.7%), beef (18.1%) and chicken (17.3%), it is more common. It is also rich in omega-3, a representative of 'Healthy Fat'.
Dongwon tuna is one of the most representative high-protein nutritional foods. 150g of Dongwon tuna contains 28g of protein, so more than half of the recommended daily amount of 55g of adult protein can be consumed with just one can of Dongwon tuna. In addition, Dongwon tuna contains nutrients that are beneficial to the human body such as calcium, DHA, EPA, and vitamins. In particular, tuna is rich in selenium, which is said to enhance immunity. A can of 150g of Dongwon tuna can consume about 120 μg of selenium, which is suitable for adult standards of 50 to 200 μg/person/day of selenium announced by the World Health Organization.
According to a paper published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 2016 by a research team at Rush University in the United States, eating tuna sandwiches more than once a week has better memory and lower chance of developing Alzheimer's compared to the control group. Afterwards, the research team conducted an autopsy on the brain of the subjects to measure the concentration of selenium and analyzed findings related to diseases such as stroke and dementia, and confirmed that eating tuna steadily reduces the likelihood of dementia due to less brain damage.
DHA, a nutrient high in tuna, accounts for 10% of the fat components that make up the brain. It is known to prevent brain function decline and help improve poor learning. Effects such as improving depression, improving concentration, and alleviating hypersensitivity have also been reported. Experts advise that pregnant women and lactating women should consume 300 mg of DHA per day.
Dongwon F&B, Korea's leading tuna can manufacturing company, has been ranked No. 1 in the tuna can market for more than 40 years since 1982. According to market research firm Nielsen IQ Korea, Dongwon F&B's market share in tuna cans exceeds 80%.
Recently, Dongwon F&B noted that fewer and fewer people cook at home, and decided that if the existing Dongwon tuna cans have been loved as essential ingredients that cannot be missed in various dishes such as kimchi stew, fried rice, and sandwiches, it is important to position them as "instant side dishes" without having to cook them separately in the future. To this end, after about two years of research and development in 2023, we introduced the sesame oil tuna can 'Dongwon Matcham', which is perfect for rice side dishes. Dongwon Matcham is a product that adds sesame oil to canola oil, and sesame oil permeates tuna lean meat with moist sesame oil, making it good to eat right away with rice without cooking.
