With the goal of transforming rice protein from an insoluble to a soluble form to increase the industrial utilization of rice wine meal (RWM), RWM was derivatized using commercial proteases and the RWM hydrolysates were characterized. Eight commercial proteases were used individually or in combination for hydrolysis of RWM. The degree of hydrolysis was assessed by determining the soluble protein in supernatant using the Lowry assay, protein in precipitates using a semimicro Kjeldahl procedure, and gravimetrically by the weight difference before and after hydrolysis. Protamex, Alcalase and Protease N proteases were most effective for hydrolysis of RWM. Although these assessment methodologies displayed some variation, they generally showed a similar pattern. When the aforementioned three proteases were simultaneously used to treat RWM, no significant difference was observed between the three assays (p<0.05) indicating an absence of enzymatic synergy.

The effect of soaking temperature on the moisture uptake and the protein loss of soybeans during soaking process investigated. As the soaking temperature increased, the soaking rate significantly increased and Peleg model was suitable for describing the soaking characteristics of the soybean with high $R^2$ values (>0.991). The soaking time to achieve the target moisture content of soybean (130%) was estimated to be 12.6, 3.11 and 2.31 h at 25, 35 and $45^{\circ}C$, respectively. Peleg model well described the protein loss kinetics of soybean during soaking with high $R^2$ values (>0.941). The results showed that the protein loss of soybean at the target moisture content were 35.2, 93.1 and 103.0 mg/g at 25, 35 and $45^{\circ}C$, respectively. In this study, the optimum soaking condition for quality of soybean was 12.6 h of soaking time at $25^{\circ}C$.

To clarify the effects of sink demand for assimilate on leaf photosynthetic rate, tissue composition, and leaf senescence of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] J plants, pod and leaf tissues were removed at growth stage $R^3$. Plant responses were measured every 10days from 2 through 42days following treatment. Leaves of depodded plants exhibited increased starch and chlorophyll contents and specific leaf weight. Stomatal resistance was also increased and leaf photosynthetic rate was reduced. Dry weight of vegetative tissues except leaves was increased by pod removal. Leaf removal resulted in a decreased starch content of leaves from 22 to 42days after treatment and that of roots at all sampling times. Specific leaf weight was decreased while leaf photosynthetic rate was increased. Stomatal resistance and chlorophyll content were little affected. Weight per seed was decreased 3.0% by leaf removal. Except for the seed, tissue protein contents were increased by pod removal but decreased by leaf removal, however, seed protein content was not affected by either. Apparent senescence was delayed by depodding. Both apparent and functional senescence were accelerated by leaf removal.

The model foods similar to Korean typical foods were propared by combining moisture, protein and starch, and their thermal conductivities were investigated. Thermal conductivity of the model foods had a close relationship with food components such as moisture, protein and starch content. The interaction between the thermal conductivity and food components was not found. Thermal conductivity was proportionally increased as the moisture content increased, and thermal conductivity of starch food was lower than that of protein foods under the same level of moisture content of the model foods. The regression equation between thermal condutivity of the model foods. The regression equation between thermal conductivity of the model foods and moisture, protein and starch content at $20^{\circ}C$ was as follows; k = 0.00421M + 0.03152P + 0.05181. Correlation coefficient between calculated by above equation and measured values showed highly significant ($r=0.8418^{\ast}{\ast}$).

The effects of soymilk residues solubilization by cellulase, protease, koji and yeast were investigated on dry matter and protein yields, amino acid and organic acid contents. Co-treatment of soymilk residues by cellulase and protease gave high dry matter yield and protein yield. Koji treatment followed by yeast fermentation was effective for increasing organic acid content and producing soy sauce-like taste and odor. Organic acid content of fermented hydrolysates was improved by cellulase treatment. Protease treatment rather than koji treatment gave high amino acid content, and cellulase treatment seemed to have little effect on increasing free amino acid content. In sensory evaluation, koji-treated hydrolysate showed higher overall acceptance than other hydrolysates, however it showed lower overall acceptance than commercial fermented soy sauce.

Enzymatically hydrolyzed vegetable protein (eHVP) was produced from soy protein using proteases, and the physicochemical properties were examined. Soy protein hydrolysate of 6% protein and 50% degree of hydrolysis was useful for the base of savory ingredients. The Maillard-reacted and flavoring compound-added hydrolysate had improved flavor. It was for enzymatically hydrolyzed soy sauces and dehydrated seasonings. ISP hydrolysate of low molecular weight $(MW{\sim}250)$ and high protein content (85%) was suitable for special uses such as infant diets, sports nutrition, and medical diets. The eHVP gave no limitation of dosage in the formulation as a flavor enhancer. The byproduct of protein hydrolysis was found to have high content of fiber (21%) and to have potential for the use as dietary fiber or bulking agents.

Corn proteins have been known as nutritionally poor, being deficient in the essential amino acids. lysine and tryptophan. Improving the quality of protein in the corn grain would be a great benefit to the farmer. This study was conducted to evaluate the variation of the protein content and the protein constitution of the maize germplasms in the Crop Experiment Station in 1989. The average protein content of 101 germplasms was 11.5% with range from 8.0% to 17.3%. Elite hybrid field corns and table corns possessed 9.1-13.9% protein for the dried whole kernel. Major amino acids were glutamic acid and leucine. Lysine and methionine were limited. Varietal differences were observed in the amino acid composition. Qpm, a modified opaque-2 mutant had 1.4-1.7 times higher lysine content than Suwon 19, a dent corn and Suwon SS-21, a sweet corn. Suwon SS-21 had high threonine content. Maize seed protein gave three fractions. an alchol-soluble fraction (zein), an alkali-soluble fraction (glutelin), and a salt-soluble fraction (globulin) by the Osborne method. The zein fraction accounted respectively for 50.7% and 41.7% of the total protein is Suwon 19 and Suwon SS-21. The nonzein fractions increased in percentage of total protein in Qpm kernels. The amino acid composition of zein fraction from three types maize endoperms of dent, sweet and opaque-2 was essentially identical. Zein contained the high contents of glutamic acid and leucine but low content of lysine. The glutelin fractions of three types maize endosperms were mainly similar in overall amino acid composition. The lysine content of glutelin was higher than that of zein. The amino acid composition of globulin fraction was some different from those of zein and glutelin In Qpm it had higher levels of histidine and lysine than both of zein and glutelin. The increased lysine content in Qpm was resulted from changing the proportions of proteins which contained different levels of lysine.
