In order to maximize the growth of Bifidobacterium lactis BL 740 and soy isoflavone agycones production, we investigated the optimization of a culture medium containing soy hypocotyls, which are the byproducts of the soy manufacturing process, and soy proteins. The ingredients of the medium containing soy materials (S-medium) were selected by fractional factorial design (FFD) and central composite design (CCD) within a desirable range. The FFD was applied by six factors: glucose, cellobiose, fructooligosaccharide, soy peptone, soy protein, and soy hypocotyl. Soy protein, soy peptone, and soy hypocotyl were found to be significant factors from the result of FFD for both the growth of B. lactis BL 740 and aglycone production. The CCD was then applied with three variables found from FFD at five levels each and the optimum values were determined for the three variables: soy peptone, soy protein, and soy hypocotyl. In the case of the growth of B. lactics BL740, the proposed optimal media contained 12.73 g/L of soy protein, 29.55 g/L of soy peptone, and 130.67 g/L of soy hypocotyl. To produce isoflavone aglycones, optimized media was composed of 2.06 g/L, soy protein, 1.25 g/L of soy peptone, and 60.02 g/L of soy hypocotyl.

The suwey on the consumption pattern of Korean traditional soy sauce and commercial soy sauce was performed. 55.8 percentage of surveyed house makes Korean traditional soy sauce domestically, But its frequency in actual use is lower than commercial soy sauce. The use of Korean traditional soy sauce and commercial soy sauce was different depending on the kinds of food. Korean traditional soy sauce is mainly used for kinds of soup, and commercial soy sauce is predominantly used for hard-boiled foods and Chapchae. Korean traditional soy sauce is known as our typical fermented food and has special flavor. But its main factors of special flavor were not well established yet. So the authors have investigated the main components of Korean traditional soy sauce for its typical taste. Five samples o$.$ere selected from'Kyung-ln'area. The sensory charac teristics of Korean traditional soy sauce itself were very different with that of cooked food added with Korean traditional soy sauce. The hard-boiled mackerel cooked with commercial soy sauce was prefered than Korean traditional soy sauce. And soups and seasoned vegetables cooked with Korean traditional soy sauce were profered. By stepwiEe regression analysis and correlation analysis, sensory overall acceptability mainly depends on specific gravity, salt content and amino nitrogen content (R'=0.94). And total nitrogen content was highly coirelated with overall acceptability (r=0.91).

The present study examined the effect of soy isoflavones on lipid metabolism in growing female rats. Rats were randomly assigned to three different groups and provided experimental diets for 9 weeks. The experimental groups were classified into 1) a control group, 2) a soy protein isolate group: soy (+)) group and 3) a soy protein concentration group: soy (-)) group. Diets contained either casein or one of two soy proteins with (soy (+)) or without isoflavones (soy (-)). Serum triglyceride concentration showed no significant differences among the experimental groups. Serum total cholesterol concentration was significantly lower in both the soy (+) and soy (-) groups than in the control group and LDL-cholesterol concentration was significantly lower in the soy (+). Serum HDL-cholesterol concentration was significantly higher in the control group than in the soy protein groups but the HDL-cholesterol share rate in total cholesterol tended to be lower in the control group than in the soy protein groups, insignificant as it was. Hepatic IDL receptor mRNA level was significantly increased in the soy (+) group when compared to the other two groups to be 20% higher than the control group. In conclusion, soy protein isolate, soy protein rich with isoflavones reduced serum total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol concentration and increased hepatic IDL receptor mRNA expression in growing female rats. Therefore, it is considered that the intake of soy isoflvones during puberty can be advantageous in terms of the long-tenn control of serum lipid.

This paper provides the analysis and the comparisons of three kinds of soy sauces based on the manufacturing sources. The main factors of this study are concentrated on general and amino acids components. Three samples represented as domestic market soy sauces, imported Japanese soy sauces and homemade soy sauce are analyzed and compared by Kjeldahl and AOAC method and amino acid autoanlyzer method which have the results as follows; 1. For total nitrogen and pure extract and sodium chloride known as general components, the domestic market soy sauces show the ranges of 0.85~1.51%, 11.37~17.4% and 16.03~17.43% and the imported soy sauce shows the ranges of 1.65~1.83%, 19.54~19.80%, 17.20~18.46% and the homemade soy sauce indicates 0.73%, 30.96% for each components. The results implicates that the homemade soy sauce contains less total nitrogen and pure extract while it contains more sodium chloride than the domestic market soy sauces. 2. The amount of total amino acids contained in each soy indicated the range of 3.864~6.883% for the domestic market soy sauce and the range of 7.705~7.839% for the imported soy sauce and 2.035% for the homemade soy sauce. Especially, 20~50% glutamic acids are contained in total amino acids of each soy sauces.

This study was to compare the effects of soy hot water extract, soy slurry, defatted soy flour, soy protein concentration and soy protein isolate on the quality of Busuge Base. In Busuge Base preparation the addition of soy products, in general, showed the improvable effect in the quality of Busuge Base. Among them the soy slurry was especially effective in volume increasing, hardness and panel score, and the soy protein isolate was effective in the protein fortification of Busuge Base. In addition, the qualify of Busuge Base was best when soy slurry and soy protein isolate were jointly used. In this case, the adequate amount of soy protein isolate was about 10%.

The Kinds of soy sauce were prepared using the brick type of conventional meju(A), the brick type of meju of Aspergillus oryzae(B), and the grain type of meju of Aspergillus oryzae(C). Free sugar and alcohol were analyzed in accordance to aging time of those products. Galactose, glucose, arabinose, xylose, and mannose were detected in all kinds of soy sauce. In soy sauce 4 galactose, glucose, arabinose, and xylose were shown in the order of content. The content of galactose in soy sauce A and soy sauce C were shown higher than that in soy sauce B alt during the time. The content of glucose was highest among that of all kinds of free sugars at the beginning of preparation, but the content of glucose was lower than that of arabinose and xylose after 60 days. The contents order of total free sugar was soy sauce C > soy sauce B > soy sauce A. The content of ethyl alcohol was shown 6.23∼19.10mg%, and that of isobutyl alcohol was 8.70∼ 169.03 ppm in all soy sauces, but those of soy sauce C was higher than those of other soy sauces.

This study investigated changes in the quality and antioxidant activity of soy sauce with added Saccharina japonica powder (FSP). Soy sauce was prepared with acid-hydrolyzed soy sauce, brewed soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, dried red pepper, ${\gamma}$-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-enriched sea tangle fermented in lactic acid, and 1% or 3% S. japonica powder by soy sauce volume. The color, pH, microbiology, amino nitrogen, free amino acids, antioxidant activity, and sensory qualities of the soy sauce were evaluated. There were no significant differences in the general characteristics or antioxidant activity. However, the addition of FSP to the soy sauce enhanced the delicate flavor. Furthermore, soy sauce containing FSP had higher levels of GABA (50 mg/100 mL), a biofunctional ingredient. Therefore, the development of seasoning soy sauce with enhanced functionality seems possible.

Soy milk prepared from soy protein concentrate was fermented with Lactobacillus acidophilus, L. bulgaricus, L. casci, Streptococcus lactis or S. cremoris. Growth and acid production of each organism in soy milk and flavor of soy yogurt beverages were investigated. Volatile compounds in soy milk and soy yogurts were also determined. Among the five organisms tested, L. bulgaricus produced most amount of acid in soy milk while S. cremoris produced least amount of acid in soy mile. Sensory evaluation showed that the flavor of soy yogurt beverages was inferior to that of milk yogurt beverage and the flavor of soy yogurt beverage prepared by L. bulgaricus was better than that of other soy yogurt beverages. Soy milk fermented with L. bulgaricus was more acceptable than unfermented soy milk. Lactic fermentation reduced n-hexanal in soy milk while it produced diacetyl that was not detected in unfermented soy milk.
