As the elderly population has increased in the advanced countries, food intake, relationship of nutrient intake and disease has become major problem in the aged. To investigate the dietary behaviors and the preference of food of the elderly for developing meal planning, the study was conducted through survey questionnaires including 24-hr dietary recall, dietary behaviors, food preference and frequency of food intake to 352 elderly (104 male and 248 female) who were more than 60 years old and living in Seoul. Most of subjects ate three meals regulary and the most preferred taste was sweet and the less preferred taste was sour. Dietary behaviors according to educational level were shown that the skipping meal time and duration time of one meal were significant difference in educational level. Most of the elderly subjects like kimchi and soybean paste soup. The more educated elderly were preferred milk. The reason of dislike of milk was bad flavor and diarrhea. Most of them who graduated from university and high school selected fishes because of good for health primary, otherwise no educated, elementary school and middle school graduated elderly selected vegetables primary. Meats, fishes, seaweeds, mushrooms, fruits, milk and milk products, eggs and vegetables intakes of total elderly subjects were significantly positively related to educational level. With respect to milk and milk products intakes, cheese, yogurt (curd) and milk intake of elderly was significantly negatively related to age. Therefore education for developing desirable dietary behaviors and improving the meal patterns should be in forced to elderly, especially who had poor educational background in order to manage the meal planning and to care for their health in the later life.

Mixtures (total solid content: 15%) prepared with whole milk added with skim milk powder and/or sweet potato and/or pumpkin were fermented with 0.205% gelatin, 2% sugar and yogurt bacteria. The fermented mixtures (curd yogurt) were evaluated for acid production (pH, titratable acidity), number of viable cell, sensory property and keeping quality. The acid production of all mixtures remarkably increased for the first 12 hours and there is no significant difference among the mixtures. The lactic acid bacteria counts in the all products after 24 hours incubation were above $6.4{\times}10^{9}cfu/ml$. In organic acids, the mixture added with skim milk powder was higher ratio of lactic acid content to total acidity than those added with sweet potato and/or pumpkin. The sensory score of mixture containing sweet potato was best but curd yogurt containing pumpkin reduced the sensory property. When each mixtures were kept at $5^{\circ}C$ for 15 days, pH, titratable acidity, and number of viable tells of yogurt were not changed.

Soy protein was isolated from Korean soy bean 'Chang ryub' and chemically modified with succinic anhydride. Functionality of the soy protein isolate(SPI), succinylated SPI(SPPI), and PP590(commercial) at various pH were investigated. The mechanical and sensory properties of soy bean curds made from several mixing ratio of succinylated soy bean milk were observed. The solubility of SPI significantly increased with succinylation. The solubility of PP590 was lower than that of SSPI. The solubility of SPPI increased significantly in 0.03M CaCl2 solution. The emulsifying activity of SSPI increased. On the range of pH above pI the emulsifying activity of PP590 was higher than that of SPI. There was no difference in emulsion stability among the groups. The foam expansion capacity of SPPI increased at higher pH than pI but the foam stability decreased significantly above pH 9. Mechanical texture profile analysis revealed the modified soy bean curds had the lower hardniss, chewiness and cohesiveness with increased modification. The mechanical characteristics of modified soy bean curds revealed generalized Maxwell Model of 7-elements or 5-elements. In sensory evaluation, the hardness, the springiness and acceptability of modified soy bean curds were lower significantly than those of control soy bean curd.

This study was carried out to investigate characteristics of acid and alcohol fermented milk by mixed starters made by Lactobacillus bulgaricus (KCTC 3635) and Kluyveromyces marxianus (KCTC 17212) for 36 hours when the curds were formed. Final pH and titratable acidity were about 4.5 and 0.68%, respectively. The viable cell counts of lactic acid bacteria and yeast for alcohol fermented milk were increased to $3.2{\times}10^9 CFU/mL$ and $5.3{\times}10^9 CFU/mL$, respectively. The ethanol contents increased to 0.35% during fermentation. Antitumor activities of the fermented milk against tumor cell lines, such as HEp-2, HEC-1B, SW-156 and SK-MES-1 showed to 86.6, 70.3, 60.4 and 57.14%, respectively.

The objectives of this study were to compare the effectiveness of different indicators of mammary inflammation in buffalo and to evaluate the association of the indicators with buffalo milk yield, composition, and rennet coagulation properties. This study was carried out at four buffalo farms in central Italy using a total of 50 lactating buffalo. Milk from each buffalo was tested at the beginning, middle, and end of lactation. To evaluate the relationship between mastitis markers and milk components, three classes were defined for each of the following markers: total somatic cell count (TSCC), differential somatic cell count (DSCC), and bacteriological results The regression coefficient for the reference method and the alternative method of determining TSCC was 0.81, indicating that the method routinely used to analyze buffalo milk consistently underestimated actual TSCC. The milk samples positive for udder-specific bacteria also had higher TSCC values than the samples that were negative for bacteria ($872{\times}10^3$/ml vs. $191{\times}10^3$/ml). In samples that were positive for udder-specific bacteria, polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) made up greater than 50% of the cells. Moreover, only 1% of the samples in the lowest TSCC class were positive for bacteria. The correlation between TSCC and PMN was stronger (0.70), and PMN values in buffalo milk increased significantly when the TSCC class changed from low (38%) to medium and high (56% and 64%). Milk yield was negatively related to TSCC. Significant changes in lactose (4.87%, 4.80% and 4.64%) and chloride content (0.650 mg/ml, 0.862 mg/ml and 0.882 mg/ml) were also observed with increasing TSCC values. Higher TSCC was associated with impaired rennet coagulation properties: the clotting time increased, while the curd firming time ($p{\leq}0.05$) and firmness decreased. We concluded that in buffalo as in dairy cows, TSCC is a valid indicator of udder inflammation; we also confirmed that a value of $ 200{\times}10^3 cells/ml should be used as the threshold value for early identification of an animal affected by subclinical mastitis. In addition to its association with significantly decreased milk yield, a TSCC value above this threshold value was associated with changes in milk composition and coagulating properties.

Rheological properties of micronized full-fat soyflour (MFS ) milk were determined according to solid content, heat-treatment and type of coagulants. Heat-treated MFS milk showed a pseudoplastic flow pattern. The consistency and flow index of heated MFS milk was greatly affected by increasing the concentration of MFS and/or soy protein isolate (SPI). Apparent viscosity of MFS milk was gradually decreased by heating below 6$0^{\circ}C$, but was drastically increased by raising temperature further. Addition of coagulants and SPI resulted in dropping the temperature that allows to increase apparent viscosity drastically. A coagulant for MFS tofu was formulated based on the gelling Property of a single coagulant. The textural properties of MFS tofu were improved using 7.1% total protein fortified with SPI.

The curd yogurt (total solid content: 14%) was prepared from milk added with skim milk powder and potato puree. Potato puree comprised 9.5. 13,8 and 17.9% (dry basis) of the milk-potato mixture, and the effect of potato on the quality of yogurt was investigated. Addition of potato remarkably stimulated acid production and propagation of lactic acid bacteria, and viable cells reached above $3.9{\times}10^{10}$ CFU/ml after 12 hours. As potato content increased, the ratio of lactic acid content to total acidity decreased, while citric acid increased. The major organic acids of yogurt were lactic acid, citric acid, and acetic acid. Viscosity of yogurt was increased in proportion to the increment of the potato content. After 24 hours of incubation, the sensory score of yogurt containing 13.8% (dry basis) potato showed better sensory acceptability. When curd yogurt added with potato was kept at $5^{\circ}C$ for 15 day, its keeping quality was relatively good. Viable cells of lactic acid bacteria and ${\beta}-galactosidase$ activity decreased rapidly at pH 1.5, and 2.5, but the group added with potato was more stable than control.

For the purpose of making a functional and stable yogurt, new type yogurt were prepared from 12% whole milk and 2% skim milk added hot-water extracted from sea tangle. The yogurt product were evaluated for acid production(pH, titratable acidity), number of viable cell, viscosity, degree of curd sedimentation, quality-keeping property and sensory property. By addition of hot-water extracted from 0.5% sea tangle, the titratable acidity of yogurt(1.89%) was higher than that of yogurt not added hot-water extract of sea tangle(1.53%). The propagation of lactic acid bacteria was stimulated by adding hot-water extracted from 0.5% sea tangle, and the number of viable cells were about 1.4${\times}$10$\^$9/CFU/$m\ell$. On the other hand, the number of viable cells in control were 4.4${\times}$10$\^$8/CFU/$m\ell$. Viscosity of yogurt made from adding hot-water extracted from 0.5% sea tangle(25 CPS) was higher than that of yogurt with only milk(22 CPS). When yogurt made from adding hot-water extracted from sea tangle was kept at 7$^{\circ}C$ for 15 days, its quality-keeping was relatively good. The sedimentation of curd was repressed a little by adding hot-water extracted from 0.5% and 0.1% sea tangle. The overall sensory score of yogurt made from adding hot-water extracted from 1% sea tangle was the best of tested yogurt.

The objectives of this study were to investigate the physicochemical characteristics of soybean leaves in different cultivars and to develop a soybean curd prepared with soybean leave powder as a functional food. Four cultivars (Daewonkong leaf, Daepungkong leaf, Hwangguemkong leaf, and Seoritae leaf) were selected for this experiment. A significant difference was observed in the proximate composition of soybeans leaves (p<0.05). Soybean leaves had the highest content of carbohydrates. The mineral composition and isoflavone content in soybean leaves were significantly different among the cultivars (p<0.05). In particular, Daepongkong leaf had the highest content of genistein, daidzein, and total isoflavones. This study was also conducted to determine the quality characteristics of a soybean curd developed from daepongkong leaf with various concentrations (0, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3%) of soybean leaf powder (SLP). The soybean curd yield rate increased according to the level of SLP added, whereas the L and a color values decreased. In the sensory evaluation, intensity scores for color, after taste, leafy taste, and chewiness were highest for the 0.3% soybean curd. The soybean curd with 0.2% SLP soybean milk attained the highest overall acceptability score. These results showed that soybean leaf was preferred over soybean curd containing 0.2% soybean leaf powder.

The effects of substituting whey protein concentrate (WPC) powder for rice flour in the preparation of seolgiddeok were determined by objective and subjective tests. Milk whey is drained from milk curd as a by-product of the cheese manufactureing process. Whey protein is known as a good nutritional source and is a functional material for many processed foods. WPC contains more than 80% whey protein. The moisture content decreased gradually during storage and the decrease in moisture was less in the control than in the WPC powder substituted groups. The color lightness (L) decreased significantly as the amount of WPC powder increased, wherease redness (a) and yellowness (b) both increased. Texture analyses revealed that the hardness, chewiness, gumminess and adhesiveness of seolgiddeok tended to increase in proportion to the amount of WPC powder in the formula. Seolgiddeok gelatinization was investigated by amylographing. Initial pasting temperature, peak viscosity, hot pasting viscosity and breakdown were low in seolgiddeok prepared with WPC powder substituted for rice flour. Setback had the lowest value in the control. Sensory evaluations revealed that, seolgiddeok prepared with 3% WPC powder had the highest overall acceptability score. These results indicated that WPC seolgiddeok with 3% WPC powder has the best quality.
