Thermolysin was immobilized on Dowex MWA-1 with 10% glutaraldehyde and incorpo rated into a fluidized-bed continuous coagulation scheme to make Cheddar type cheese. The activity yield of thermolysin was 25%. The immobillized thermolysin was stable at $60^{\circ}C$ in the presence of 1/200M calcium ions and the half-life value is 16 days at the temperature. Raw milk alkalified to pH 7.0 was passed through a column of thermolysin beads at $55^{\circ}C$, cultivated with Streptococcus cremoris and allowed to coagulate. A typical milk curd was formed to make Cheddar type cheese, avoiding troublesome microbial contamination successfully during continuous hydrolysis process. During ripening of this cheese for 6 months at $10^{\circ}C$, its ripening ratio and taste were similar to those of cheese prepared by the traditional method.

Characteristics of curd yogurt containing maesil extract and flesh, and mixed cultures of lactic acid bacteria (Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus acidophilus, and L. casei) were investigated redundant. The results of sensory evaluation of curd yogurts containing maseil indicated that color, odor, taste, flesh amount, aftertaste, and overall acceptability of the 3% maesil extract crud yogurt added with 20% maesil flesh showed higher preference than others. The contents of free fatty acid and citric acid of curd yogurts added with 3% maesil extract were higher than the specify sample. The Hunter L (brightness) value of curd yogurt added with 3% maesil extract was not significantly different from the control curd yogurt, while the Hunter a (redness) and Hunter b (yellowness) values were higher. The hardness, adhesiveness, and gumminess of 3% maesil extract curd yogurts added with 20% maesil flesh were higher than others.

This study was performed to determine the feasibility of developing a healthy yogurt using tofu whey concentrates separated by nanofiltration (NF). The curd yogurt was prepared from whole milk with added skim milk powder, in which the NF powder was substituted at 0, 6.25, 12.5, or 25% for the skim milk powder. The quality characteristics were evaluated for pH, titratable acidity, viscosity, color, and viable cell counts. There were no significant differences in pH or titratable acidity between the control (yogurt with added skim milk powder only) and the yogurts with added NF powder, after 24 hr of fermentation at $37^{\circ}C$. The apparent viscosities of the yogurts with added NF powder were higher ($3,197{\sim}3,574\;cps$) than that of the control yogurt (3,196 cps). Lightness decreased, while yellowness increased, as the amount of NF powder increased. Sensory evaluations showed that the NF powder could be substituted for the skim milk powder at 6.25% without lowering the yogurt quality.

The objective of this study was to examine the effects of concentrates containing different levels of a vitamin-trace elements premix on milk yield and composition of dairy cows. The trial, which lasted 14 weeks, was conducted from January to March and used 45 multiparous Brown cows in the early phase of lactation. Cows (n = 15 per treatment) were randomly allocated to three dietary treatments: the first group (control, C-0) was fed pelleted concentrate containing background vitamins and trace elements that supplied 1.0 times cows' daily requirements; the second group were fed the same concentrate, but containing 2.5 g/kg of vitamin and trace mineral premix per kg of concentrate (C-2.5); the third group were fed the same concentrate, but containing 5 g/kg of vitamin and trace mineral premix per kg of concentrate (C-5). The daily ration included ad libitum chopped oat hay, and the cows also had 8 h/d grazing on a ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) pasture. During the performance trial, cow milk yield was daily recorded and individual milk samples were analysed for milk composition and to determine milk renneting properties. Cows fed the intermediate premix level (C-2.5) in diet showed the highest fat-corrected milk production (p<0.05) compared to other groups. None of the milk quality parameters studied were influenced by dietary treatment, except for milk rheological parameters (rennet clotting time and curd firmness) that were positively improved in cows fed the C-2.5 diet (p<0.05). The findings from this study show that intermediate level of vitamin-trace elements premix in concentrate can be advantageously used in grazing dairy cows without negative effects on yield and quality of milk produced.

In this study we compared traditional cheesemaking process with the process utilizing ultrafiltration(UF) system. The whole milk retentates were prepared by ultrafiltration to volume concentration ratio(VCR) of 2.00:1, 2.25:1 and 2.50:1. Along with the untreated whole milk, there were studies in terms of the change of pH, titratable acidity and Soxhlet-Henkel($\circ $SH) value by mesophilic lactic starter and curd formation by rennet during Gouda cheese manufacture. Due to the increase of buffering effect titratable acidity and $\circ $SH value increased with the higher concentration ratio. When inoculated with the same volume of mesophilic lactic starter, less pH change occurred in UF retentates than in control milk. When added 0.0025% rennet, UF retentates coagulated 16~ 17 minutes ealier then the control milk. Gouda cheese yield from raw milk and UF retentates was 12.5~13.1% equally, but yield efficiency of UF retentate cheese was slightly higher than that of the raw milk cheese. Quantity of whey from retentate cheese was inversely related to VCR. But whey from retentate cheese contained higher percentage of amjor components than that from control milk cheese. In early ripening, the concentrations of lactose and soluble nitrogen compound were higher in retentate cheeses. Lactose content of control milk cheese was 3.49% and that of 2.00:1. 2.25:1, 2.50:1 VCR retentate was 3.77%, 4.89%, 7.03%, respectively. Thus, the more concentrated cheese contained a higher amount of lactose and all the lactose was hyerolyzed durion 35-day ripenion period. Soluble nitrogen compound of control milk cheese was 1.22% and that of UF cheeses was 1.82~2.06%. After 20-day ripening, soluble nitrogen compound increased starply in UF cheese.

The effects of various heat treatments of soy milk prepared from soy protein concentrate on growth and acid production by five species of lactic acid bacteria were investigated. Sensory property and sedimentation characteristics of soy yogurt prepared from heat-treated soy milk were also evaluated. Heat treatment of soy milk stimulated acid production by all cultures. Acid production was generally proportional to degree of heat treatment and acid production by all cultures except Streptococcus lactis was maximum in soy milk heated at $121^{\circ}C-1min$. However, viable cell count was not changed markedly by heat treatment of soy milk. Sensory property of soy yogurt beverage (SYB) prepared from soy milk heated at $95^{\circ}C-30min$ was better than that of unheated sample while sensory property of SYB prepared from soy milk heated at $121^{\circ}C-15min$ was inferior to that of unheated sample. Heat treatment of soy milk generally retarded sedimentation of curd in SYB.

This study was conducted to investigate the attitude to various soy foods and to estimate dietary isoflavone intake among Korean adolescents. The survey was carried out by self-administered questionnaire with 800 middle and high school students residing in urban and rural areas and 714 questionnaires were collected: resulting in 89% response rate. The dietary isoflavone intake was estimated by food frequency questionnaire developed for rapid assessment of isoflavone intake. Soybean paste, soybean curd, soy milk, bean sprouts and dambuk were recognized as nutritious and healthy food in order. Dambuk got the lowest score in taste and flavor. Bean sprouts, soybean curd and soybean paste were recognized as familiar food in order. Stuffed rice in fried soybean curd got the highest score and Miso soup got the lowest in preference. More than 50% of the subjects consumed soybean paste stew/soup and soybean curd over twice per week and 12.3% of the subjects consumed soybean over once a day. The estimated daily intake of isoflavones ranged from 0 to 227 mg, and the mean daily isoflavone intake of the subjects was 28.1 mg (16.3 mg genistein and 12.0 mg daidzein) whereas the median value of isoflavone intake was 19.7 mg. There was statistically significant relationship among Kyung Gi Do, Chung cheung Do and Seoul residents in their intake of isoflavone. The highest monthly income group consumed isoflavone more than the other groups. These results suggest that Korean adolescent perceived the soybean dishes as high quality foods but they didn't take much because of difficulty to cook or less chance to eat. Nutrition education program is needed to enhance consuming soy foods for prevention of chronic diseases related to dietary isoflavone intake. More detailed information on easy cook method of soy food is also needed.

Different types of milk products, such as kwacha golla, mawa, cheese, curd, and chocolate are popular in Bangladesh. However, the microbiological safety of these products is poorly understood. This study was performed to assess the microbiological quality of kwacha golla, a local milk product. Kwacha golla samples were collected from ten different areas of Rajshahi and Kushtia regions, and the quality of the each sample was assessed using various parameters including standard plate count, total coliform, fecal coliform, total fungi, and spore-forming bacteria, as well as food-borne microorganisms. Out of 300 samples, total coliform was detected at 56.66% (n= 300), exceeding the minimum allowable limit of 36.66%. Similarly, experiments were carried out with fungi and food-borne pathogens including Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella sp., and Staphylococcus aureus. Results revealed 85.33, 53, and 49.33% of the samples were contaminated by fungi, E. coli, and L. monocytogenes, respectively. However, all samples showed no contaminations of Salmonella sp. and Staphylococcus sp. Therefore, this study could be helpful to the people of Bangladesh by providing information on the possibility of a major health problem caused by the consumption of kwacha golla.

A curd yogurt was prepared from milk added with skim milk powder or four kinds of cereal. The optimum fermentation temperature of Lactobacillus acidophilus (KCTC 2182) and changes in growth and acid production by 1. acidophilus in milk added with cereal at 2%(W/V) level were investigated. The optimum fermentation temperature of 1. acidophilus (KCTC 2182) was 39~$41^{\circ}C$. The acidify significantly increased during fermentation by L. acidophilus for 30 hours while pH significantly decreased during fermentation. The number of viable cells markedly increased until the first 18 or 24 hours of fermentation by L. acidophilus.
