The contents of efficient nutrients, especially calcium(Ca), phosphorus (P), $\alpha$-amino nitrogen($\alpha-amino$ N) and total nitrogen (total N) were observed to evaluate the Sagol bone stock as a calcium and protein source: In case of quantitative changes of nutrients in the bone stock as a result of boiling for two, four, eight and twelve hours, respectively, the Ca, $\alpha$-amino N and total N contents increased in the course of boiling, and showed maximum after twelve hours. P contents also increased during eight hours but decreased after twelve hours. By four hours of reboiling, the contents of nutrients in the second stock decreased in contrast with the duration of the preceding process. The Ca and $\alpha-amino$ N contents extracted for 4 hours from the Sagol bones which were boiled for two through eight hours amounted to almost 60$\sim$90% and the total N to 130% amount of their first stocks; Ca and P contents increased when the amount of the water exceeded by weight that of the bones over seven times; and $\alpha$-amino N and total N increased when that of the water exceeded over ten times. These results suggest that Sagol bone stock could be a valuable calcium and protein source by boiling for at least twelve hours with ten times of water (wt/wt).

Casein is considered to be the main source of protein in milk; therefore, many studies have been conducted to identify casein-derived bioactive peptides and their physiological effects. Casein is inactive within the parent protein but can be liberated by various proteases and enzymatic hydrolysis during microbial fermentation and gastrointestinal digestion. Once absorbed, casein exhibits different bioavailabilities in the body. Specifically, casein-derived peptides function as angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor in the cardiovascular system; thus, they are expected to reduce and prevent hypertension. Additionally, casein-derived peptides behave as opioid-like peptides in the nervous system, which impacts relaxation. These peptides are also expected to modulate various aspects of immune functions. Finally, caseinophosphopeptide (CPP) and glycomacropeptide (GMP) may exhibit a number of nutritional effects such as the absorption of calcium, iron or zinc. Many studies have been conducted to evaluate casein-derived peptides due to their multifunctional properties and the results of these studies have contributed to the development of a wide variety of functional dairy products. The purpose of this paper was to review the generation of bioactive peptides, their absorption and metabolism, and their specific bioactive effects.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes of hardness and microstructure of Dongchimi cooked with various source of water(distilled water, purified water, Cho Jung Carbonated Natural water). This study was conducted to observe the changes of pH, total acidity, salt content, turbidity, texture and microstructure. Dongchimi cooked with source of water of water was fermented at 10$^{\circ}C$ for 46 days. The changes of pH on Dongchimi cooked with various source of water decreased in all samples during fermentation period, and then showed a slowly decrease after 12 days of fermentation. The total acidity of Dongchimi cooked with Cho Jung Carbonated Natural water was arrived slowly at best tasting condition 0.3 ∼ 0.4 point compared with other conditions. So Dongchimi cooked with Cho Jung Carbonated Natural water was continued to the best tasting condition for end of fermentation. At early stage of fermentation, the changes of turbidity of Dongchimi used Cho Jung Carbonated Natural water showed highly as compared with other test condition for 12th days of fermentation. The maximum cutting force of chinese radish of Dongchimi showed the highest value among all at the 25th day of ripening and then decreased gradually. The maximum cutting force of chinese radish of Dongchimi used Cho Jung Carbonated Natural water was the highest compared with other conditions at 25th day of fermentation. The calcium content of Dongchimi juice used Cho Jung Carbonated Natural water was observed hish at the early stage of fermentation and showed the highest value at 25th day of ripening.

Goat milk has a protein composition similar to that of breast milk and contains abundant nutrients, but its use in functional foods is rather limited in comparison to milk from other sources. The aim of this study was to prepare a goat A2 ${\beta}$-casein fraction with improved digestibility and hypoallergenic properties. We investigated the optimal conditions for the separation of A2 ${\beta}$-casein fraction from goat milk by pH adjustment to pH 4.4 and treating the casein suspension with calcium chloride (0.05 M for 1 h at $25^{\circ}C$). Selective reduction of ${\beta}$- lactoglobulin and ${\alpha}_s$-casein was confirmed using sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. The hypoallergenic property of A2 ${\beta}$-casein fraction was examined by measuring the release of histamine and tumor necrosis factor alpha from HMC-1 human mast cells exposed to different proteins, including A2 ${\beta}$-casein fraction. There was no significant difference in levels of both indicators between A2 ${\beta}$-casein treatment and the control (no protein treatment). The A2 ${\beta}$-casein fraction is abundant in essential amino acids, especially, branched-chain amino acids (leucine, valine, and isoleucine). The physicochemical properties of A2 ${\beta}$-casein fraction, including protein solubility and viscosity, are similar to those of bovine whole casein which is widely used as a protein source in various foods. Therefore, the goat A2 ${\beta}$-casein fraction may be useful as a food material with good digestibility and hypoallergenic properties for infants, the elderly, and people with metabolic disorders.

This study aimed to offer groundwork for grasp and evaluation of nutritional status and dietary fiber intake through 24-hr recall method among middle school students in Chungbuk area. In addition, this study attempted to develop food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) for dietary fiber intake. Average calorie intake per person a day was 2035.6 kcal for boys, and 1876.7 kcal for girls which were 75.4% and 93.8% of estimated energy requirement (EER), respectively. Percent estimated average requirements (%EAR) of calcium, iron and folate were the lowest showing 34.3%, 54.2%, 67.5% for boys and 36.6%, 59.2%, 64.4% for girls, respectively. Average dietary fiber intake per day was $17.6\pm5.3$ g for boys and $16.5\pm4.8$ g for girls which indicate 54.8% and 68.8% of adequate intake (AI), respectively. The main food sources of dietary fiber were polished rice and kimchi. The main food source groups were vegetables, cereals and their products were fruits, seaweeds in the order named, indicating 68.44% total dietary fiber intake from vegetables and cereals. From preliminary 39 food items, 19 food items were selected to derive the correlation coefficient of each food item between 24-hr recall and FFQ method. Correlation coefficient was increased from 0.71 to 0.78 with significant level of p<0.01 after adjustment of FFQ from 39 items to 19 items set. Percentage of classifying subjects into the same levels by food frequency questionnaire and 24-hr recall based on joints classification quartile Kappa value was evaluated. Agreement was highest in the second lowest group showing percentage to correspond rose from 90.2% to 92.4% and Kappa value of 0.54 to 0.59. Consequently, FFQ developed in this study would be useful for estimating the groups which show low intake.

This study was conducted to determine the characteristics of chungkukjang with added isoflavone extracted from arrowroot and to determine its utility as a functional food substance. Crude isoflavone was prepared from arrowroot by the ethanol extraction method and frozen dried (AI). Samples of chungkukjang each had different amounts of isoflavone extracts added to them: 0 (control), 1.76 (AC1-chungkukjang), 3.52 (AC2-chungkukjang), and 7.11 (AC3-chungkukjang) g/kg. The pH, color, slime material content, calcium, and isoflavone of each sample were measured to investigate the quality and changes in isoflavone content. As AI increased, the pH of chungkukjang decreased to 7.46~7.53 compared to the pH of control (7.63). The slime material content range increased to 4.46~6.16%. However, there was no significant difference in the general components of chungkukjang between each of the groups (Con, AC1, AC2, AC3). In colors of chungkukjang, values for $L^*$, $a^*$, and $b^*$ decreased as AI increased. Meanwhile, the calcium content of AC1, AC2 and AC3 tended to increase by 11.18~12.82% compared to the control. This may be due to the influence of Ca in the arrowroot extract powder. There was a remarkable increase in total isoflavone content, by 30.81~130.66%, with an order of AC3>AC2>AC1. In all of the groups, the content of genistein and daidzein, aglycone form, increased dramatically, by 65.00~128.34%, and 89.38~142.91%, respectively, compared to the control. In AC3, in particular the genistin and daidzin content increased by 103.47% and 188.13%. These results showed that AI can be used as a source of isoflavone supplementation in chungkukjang.

To develop high efficiency biofertilizer solubilizing insoluble phosphates, lactate dehydrogenase (ldh) gene was isolated from Staphylococcus sp. LJ2. Genetic constructions were carried out using the pGEM-T-easy vector and pHSG398. Recombinant DNA plasmids containing the ldh gene were transferred to Klebsiella sp. DA71-1 by electroporation. The selected transformant was named as a DA71-1/pLYJ. The insoluble phosphates solubilization activity of DA71-1/pLYJ was higher than that of DA71-1 at various culture conditions. Glucose was the best carbon source for insoluble phosphates solubilization among the used carbon sources. Maximal insoluble phosphates solubilizing was found in sucrose minimal (SM) medium containing 3% glucose. The solubilizing activity of DA71-1/pLYJ against three types of insoluble phosphates, such as tri-calcium phosphate, hydroxyapatite, aluminium phosphate, were quantitatively determined. The optimal temperature and initial pH to solubilize insoluble phosphates in the SM medium was $37^{\circ}C$ and pH 5.0, respectively.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of dietary protein and exercise on bone mineral density and bone mineral content of growing male rats. Forty male, Sprague-Dawley rats(age 21 days) were assigned to four groups that underwent 9 weeks of experimental treatment. Animals were assigned to one of two exercise treatments (treadmill running or sedentary). The exercise and nonexercise group were fed a diet containing casein or soy with rich isoflavones (3.4mg/g protein). The exercise group ran on a rodent treadmill(speed of 15m/min for 30min) three days per week during the 9-week study period. All rats were fed an experimental diet and deionized water ad libitum for 9 weeks. Total bone mineral density (BMD), total bone mineral content (BMC), total body calcium, spine BMD and BMC, and femur BMD and BMC were determined by using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (FIXI-mus, GE Lunar Radiation Cooperation, Madison, WI, USA). The soy diet group appears to have a significantly higher total BMD/weight and total BMC/ weight, spine BMD/weight, spine BMC/weight, femur BMD/weight and femur BMC/weight compared to the casein group in nonexercise and exercise. The exercise group had significantly greater total BMD/weight and BMC/ weight, spine BMD/weight and BMC/weight, femur BMD/weight and BMC/weight compared to the nonexercise group when the protein source was casein. The exercise combined soy group had significantly greater total BMD/weight and BMC/weight, spine BMD/weight and BMC/weight, femur BMD/weight and BMC/weight, compared to the exercise combined casein group. The results indicate that exercise had a positive influence on bone mineral density and bone mineral content and soy significantly affect on bone mineral density and bone mineral content for the 9 weeks experimental period. It can be concluded that exercise combined with a soy diet is most beneficial for acquisition of spine bone mineral density in young growing male rats. This convincing evidence suggests that a change in life style such as increasing exercise and consumption of soy protein is a practical strategy for significantly reducing the incidence of osteoporosis.
