Growth characteristics of six lactic acid bacteria in whey-soy milk mixtures were investigated to obtain basic informations for processing cheese-like product by coprecipitation of whey and soy proteins. Streptococcus cremoris and Lactobacillus acidophilus produced more aicd than other lactic acid bacteria both in whey-soy milk mixture and in soy milk. Lactic acid fermentation was accelerated in whey-soy milk mixture than in soy milk with all the lactic aicd bacteria, and specially with S. lactis and S. cremoris in great extent. The number of viable cell of 1:1 mixed culture of S. lactis and S. cremoris in whey soy milk mixture was about 10 times than in soymilk. It was mainly the effect of lactose in the whey that increased the acid production by lactic aicd bacteria in whey-soy milk mixture although the degree of acceleration depended on the ability of microorganism to use carbohydrates. The optimum amount of lactose added to soy milk to accelerate the acid production was 0.8g/100ml soy milk.

In this study, the soy food intake behaviors including perception and intake frequency of soybean foods by sociodemographic variables were analyzed in housewives. The perception of housewives for soy foods showed that soybean paste, soybean curd, and Dambuk were high in the descending order for nutritional quality and health promotion effect, and soybean paste received the highest score in taste and flavor. Soybean sprouts received the highest evaluation score in the economic aspect. In the aspect of safe food, soybean paste received the highest evaluation score, as mush as a traditional food. The analysis of perception by sociodemographic variables showed that soybean curd, Dambuk, and soybean sprouts had higher perceptions as education level increased, and soy milk had higher perceptions in subjects with younger age and with employment. In the intake frequency, more than 50% of the subjects had soybean curd, soybean sprouts, and soybean paste more than once a week. The analysis for correlation between the intake frequency of soy foods and the degree of perception showed that taste and flavor had high correlation with the intake frequency of soy foods except soybean sprouts. The intake frequency of soybean paste, Dambuk, and soy milk had positive correlations to familiarity and that of soy milk had positive correlations to nutrition and health perception, and those of soybeam paste, soybean sprouts, and soy milk had positive correlations to safe food perception. From the above results, housewives in Korea had very high perceptions to nutritional quality and health promotion effect of soy foods and the degree of perception and accompanied intake frequency had significant differences by age, education level, and economic level among sociodemographic variables.

This study was performed to investigate the changes of Bacillus sp. of traditional Korean soy sauce (kan-jang) and soybean paste (doen-jang) during the ripening and storage for 12 months. All of the preparation methods for soy sauce and soybean paste followed the recommendations of the Korea Food Research Institute. The soy sauce and soybean paste were analyzed at 0, 6, and 12 months. The numbers of Bacillus sp. of meju (soybean cakes) or soy sauce and soybean paste at the initial stage were significantly higher than those of soybeans (p<0.05). The number of Bacillus sp. increased in soy sauce and soybean paste after 12 months of ripening and storage. This study indicates that this comes from the preparation and fermentation of meju. It is suspected that the organoleptic characteristics of soy sauce and soybean paste might be inferior over 1 year of storage time. Therefore, more research fur overall microbiological quality changes of soy sauce and soybean paste during the storage period should be conducted to interpretate this characteristics more accurately.

We characterized the character impact compounds of flavors of the fermented Korean soy sauce manufactured with both the traditional and the improved Meju made with different strains. The whole flavor samples were obtained by extracting each volatile flavor phase from both the traditional and the improved soy sauce. To get more detailed information, each whole volatile flavor was further fractionated into the basic, acidic, phenolic and neutral fractions. Each separated peak from the whole and fractionated flavor samples on gas chromatogram was identified by GC/MS and Kovat s retention index, and likewise the aroma of each peak was investigated by a sniffing test with the exercised panel. We were able to identify 15 groups of ingredients with the characteristic soy sauce aroma from the soy sauce made with the traditional Meju and 6 groups from the soy sauce manufactured with the improved Meju made with Aspergillus oryzae. The character impact compounds the two soy sauces were different from each other.

Dynamic shear moduli of isolated soy protein solutions upon heating were measured to monitor gelation. Onsets of gelation coincide with onset temperatures of denaturation in glycinin and ${\beta}$-conglycinin solutions, whereas in isolated soy proteins, onset of gelation was above denaturation temperature of ${\beta}$-conglycinin with storage modulus increasing in two steps. The first increase in storage modulus of isolated soy proteins occurred at about $78.5^{\circ}C$, while the second increase started at about $93^{\circ}C$. Gel properties of soy protein gels having different proportions of glycinin and ${\beta}$-conglycinin were measured by compression-decompression test. ${\beta}$-conglycinin was responsible for gel elasticity. Glycinin significantly increased hardness, toughness, and fracturability of gels at high heating temperature near $100^{\circ}C$. Results reveal texture of soy protein gels can be controlled by regulating ratio of glycinin to ${\beta}$-conglycinin and heating temperature.

This study was carried out to examine the role soy milk in the preparation of Yukwa, possibility of substitution of soy milk to isolated soy protein and the effect of drying condition of Yukwa dough on the quality of Yukwa for the purpose of standardization of Yukwa preparation process. Although isolated soy protein did not make any particular effect on the gelatinization characteristics of waxy rice flour, soy milk lowered peak viscosity to half of waxy rice flour. The optimum moisture content of dried Yukwa dough was about 25%, and it can be reached by drying at $60^{\circ}C$ under atmosphere pressure for $4{\sim}5$ hours. On the basis of the results of morphological observations, mechanical and sensory measurement of hardness, and sensory test of the internal structure, mouthfeel and overall acceptability, soy milk was more desirable than isolated soy protein for the quality improvement of yukwa.

Cayenne pepper used traditionally as hot seasoning and for antifungal agent in "Ganjang" soy sauce in Korea. However the correlation between its component and antifungal activity has been unknown. CApsaicine is known as hot component of cayenne pepper. Antifungal activity of capsaicine in 'Ganjang' soy sauce was studied and the results are as follows; 1) In 'Ganjang' soy sauce, antifungal activity of capsaicine were strong in same degree with butyl-p-hydroxybenzoate. 2) Antifungal activity of capsaicine were intensified by the addition of sodium chloride. 3) The antifungal activity of capsaicine was increased by lower pH (pH 5.5-4.5) of 'Ganjang' soy sauce.

The quality characteristics of soy yogurt prepared with different proteolytic enzymes and starter culture were evaluated. In order to facilitate the growth of lactic acid bacteria and subsequent production of lactic acid, soy protein isolate(SPI) was hydrolyzed using three kinds of proteases; one extracted from Aspergillus oryzae, bromelain and ${\alpha}-chymotrypsin$. The cultural systems employed thereafter for lactic fermentations were: 1) Bifidobacterium bifidum, 2) B. bifidum and Lactobacillus acidophilus, 3) B. bifidum and Lactobacillus bulgaricus. In soy yogurt, pH was more decreased by mixed culture method than single culture method with the accumulation of lactic acid. Viable cells of lactic acid bacteria in soy yogurts were measured $10^8$ CFU/g by the single culture method while $10^9$ CFU/g by the mixed culture method except ${\alpha}-chymotrypsin$ treatment. The amount of free amino acids in soy yogurts were substaintially increased by enzyme treatment. Viscosity was decreased by enzyme treatment, resulting in higher viscosity by ${\alpha}-chymotrypsin$ treatment. Water holding capacity was found to be higher in the single culture method in case of enzyme treatment. Among the various volatile flavor components isolated and identified after enzyme hydrolysis, acetaldehyde, ethanol, diacetyl, butyl alcohol contents tended to increase by lactic fermentation.

This paper investigates the transmission of food as an intangible cultural heritage and tries to answer what maintains and promotes traditional food culture, though researching into the specific example of 'making traditional soy sauce.' For that, I chose three different cases to research into the continuation and change in the transmission of traditional soy sauce making. The first instance is when the informant makes traditional soy sauce by herself. The second example is when the informant makes traditional soy sauce with ready-made soybean lumps.The last case is that people sharing the same ideology about food organize a community('kye') and make soy sauce together each year and reserve 'seed soy sauce.' This is a new type of food community. The changes in tools and skills, in production and consumption, and in food communities caused changes in the transmission of traditional soy sauce making. Because of these factors, the way of making traditional soy sauce is changing a lot. The informants, however, believed that the tradition of 'making soy sauce' will last, as far as the taste of soy sauce made in the traditional method stays the same. Therefore, we need to make an effort to sustain communities of people who remember and enjoy the taste of traditional soy sauce in order to keep the tradition of making traditional soy sauce.
