Ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis were applied to produce soy-oligosaccharides from yeast fermented bean cooking water (BCW). The recovered total sugar by the ultrafiltration of bean cooking water on a cutoff molecular weight membrane of 20,000 and 5,000 was over 80%. The protein was removed up to 38% from the non-fermented BCW, 31% by S. cerevisiae KCTC 7039 and 21% by H. anomala KFRI 626. The recovery of oligosaccharides was above 70%, although fermented or non fermented bean cooking water was different on the recovery of oligosaccharides. The ultrafiltrated BCW was concentrated by reverse osmosis with respect to the volume concentration ratio (VCR). Total solid, total sugar, ash and protein contents increased up to VCR of 3.5 and then levelled off, showing that the optimum VCR was 3.5.

Purpose: For dissecting the possible benefits and usages of Cheonggukjang, five different beans, soybean, black soybean, red bean, chickpea, and lentil bean, underwent the fermentation process along with Bacillus subtilis. Methods: Resultant Cheonggukjang physicochemical and sensory properties such as pH, amino type nitrogen, slime contents, rheological properties, and sensory strength and consumer acceptance were analyzed. Results: Values of pH were found to be highest in Cheonggukjang made with soybean (SC), followed by Cheonggukjang made with black bean (BSC) and Cheonggukjang made with red bean and soybean mixture (RBSC), and lastly Cheonggukjang made with chickpea (CBC) and lentil bean (LBC). Amino type nitrogen values were shown to be highest in SC with a value of $394.74{\pm}28.80mg%$, subsequently were values taken from RBSC, followed by BSC, CBC, and lastly LBC. Slime contents were the highest in SC with a value of $3.44{\pm}0.36%$, with RBSC, BSC, CBC, and LBC without statistical difference. Total colony count was found to show higher value in BSC, SC, and RBSC, in contrast to the lower values found in CBC and LBC. Color was shown to be lightest in CBC and with darker shades shown that of SC, LBC, RBSC, and BSC in descending order. In rheological properties, hardness, adhesiveness, and viscosity were found to be highest in SC. Sensory strength analysis and sticky appearance were highest in SC, with fermented odor being lowest in CBC and BSC. The strength of sweetness, sourness, and umami taste did not show statistical difference, however, bitterness was shown to be highest in LBC and lowest in CBC, SC, and BSC. In the consumer acceptance test, overall acceptance was highest in SC and CBC. Conclusion: In conclusion, SC was found to be the best bean variety for making Cheonggukjang fermented with Bacillus subtilis, however, CBC may act as an alternative for manufacture of Cheonggukjang resulting in sound consumer acceptance.

There were fifty two kinds of fermented soybean sauce before 17th century thirteen recorded in ${\ulcorner}$Sangayorock${\lrcorner}$, two in ${\ulcorner}$Sasichanyo${\lrcorner}$, one in ${\ulcorner}$Yongjechongwha${\lrcorner}$, nine in ${\ulcorner}$Soowonjabbang${\lrcorner}$, one in ${\ulcorner}$Domoondaejak${\lrcorner}$, six in ${\ulcorner}$Dongyoebogam${\lrcorner}$, four in ${\ulcorner}$Gushangchalyo${\lrcorner}$, five in ${\ulcorner}$Guhwangboyubang${\lrcorner}$, two in ${\ulcorner}$Yorock${\lrcorner}$, four in ${\ulcorner}$Chisengyoram${\lrcorner}$ and five in ${\ulcorner}$Joobangmoon${\lrcorner}$. These books had thing to know when making fermented soybean sauce like kinds of soybean sauce, how to make it, its ingredients and quantities to be used, how to make fermented soybean sauce in haste, and how to remake wrong made fermented soybean sauce, etc. Before 17th century, fermented soybean malt was divided into two kinds the only soybean malt and the mixed soybean malt that had bean, wheat, wheat flour and wheat bran. The bean only soybean malt was further divided into mashed soybean malt (Beans were steamed and mashed into past.) and unmashed soybean malt (Beans maintained their shape without being mashed.) while mashed soybean malts were made in Winger, in January of February, unmashed and mixed soybean malts were made in Summer, in July. When made fermented soybean sauce, mashed and unmashed soybean malts were used as they were and mixed soybean malt was dried and powdered for use. Fermented soybean sauce before 17th century could be classified by the features of soybean malts being used, Normal fermented soybean sauce was made from bean only soybean malts and other ingredients. Shi(시) was made from unmashed soybean malts, in which beans maintained their shape, and Gowhajang and Jeupjang were made from mixed soybean and wheat bran. Fermented soybean sauce was also made from old fermented soybean sauce, yeast. water leftover after boiling bean leaves, and soybean chaff without soybean malt. There were also side dish type soybean sauce like Kongjaban today and fish and meat sauce made from flesh ingredients. To make fermented soybean sauce in haste, the soybean sauce was heated. Beside there were how to maintain fermented soybean sauce and how to remake wrong made fermented soybean sauce.

Higher number in colony counts in coliforms, total aerobes, and anerobes was obtained from marketable soy-bean mash than front that in fermented tank. The ratio between coliform contamination and total viable cells was higher in red pepper mash than in soy-bean mash. E. coli, contaminated in soy-bean mash persisted longer at low temperature ($0^{\circ}C$-$^5{\circ}C$) than at room temperature and they vanished after seven days of storage at room temperature. At 30.deg.C and 35.deg.C, these organisms were more effected than at room temperature. E. coli cells, inoculated in red pepper mash, were not recovered at room temperature after five days incubation. Soy-bean mash, completely fermented at normal conditions, were detected to contain $10^8$- $10^9$ organisms per gram of sample. On the contrary, marketable soy-bean mash were found to have more than 10$^{9}$ per gram samples. Since samples were found to have more than $10^9$ aerobes and anaerobes per gram, contamination of coliforms seemed to be apparent.

This study investigated the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of espresso coffee prepared with green bean fermented by lactic acid bacteria. First, 10, 20, and 30% (w/v) green beans were fermented by Lactobacillus acidophilus KCTC 3145 at $37^{\circ}C$ for 0, 12, and 24 h, respectively. Cells of L. acidophilus gradually increased with increasing green bean content and fermentation time. After drying fermented green beans, coffee powders were prepared by roasting (city level) and grinding (<75 mesh). Then, espresso coffee was extracted using coffee powder. The pH and chromaticity (L*, a*, and b* values) of espresso coffee decreased with fermentation time, whereas total acidity, total soluble solid contents, and brown color intensity increased. The pH level decreased with increasing contents of fermented green bean and total acidity increased. However, chromaticity, total soluble solid contents, and brown color intensity remained within a limited range. The antioxidant activities, including total polyphenol content, and DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities increased with increasing green bean content and fermentation time. Finally, sensory evaluation -for taste, color, flavor, and overall preference- revealed espresso coffee prepared with fermentation of 30% (w/v) green bean received the highest scores. Green bean fermented by lactic acid bacteria enhanced quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of espresso coffee, showing that lactic acid bacteria fermentation has potential use in the espresso coffee industry.

As a series of fundamental research projects to produce doenjang (Korean fermented soy paste) of better quality, two kinds of doenjang were manufactured from a traditional meju (Korean soy bean koji) and the mixed with Aspergillus oryzae and Bacillus natto, and histological changes in the cell structures of soy bean of the two were reported doenjang samples were observed and compared during the entire period of fermentation processes. Cell walls of the soy bean were ruptured by pressure and heat during the pressure cooking process and some of them were observed to have the ghost-like shapes. Remarkable differences in the plasmolysis of the cytoplasms were observed between the seed coat and the inner part of soy bean. Small vacuoles resulting from the fusion of the glycoprotein globules by protease and from the hydrolysis of the starch granules by amylase were also observed. Penetration of microorganisms was transferred from the seed coat to the inside of soy bean as the fermentation proceeded. Slimy substances were observed on the seed coat and the parenchyma cells of soy bean fermented with the mixed with Aspergillus oryzae and Bacillus natto. Cell walls of soy bean became difficult to stain and they showed unusual, polygonal shapes as the fermentation proceeded. Samples fermented with the mixed with Aspergillus oryzae and Bacillus natto showed more remarkable tendencies than traditional meju.

To investigate the effect of dietary supplementation with a fermented mixture of bean dregs and wheat bran (FBW) on sow performance. FBW was given to sows during late gestation and lactation; in total, 24 sows were randomly assigned to 4 groups (control diet; 3% FBW diet; 6% FBW diet; 9% FBW diet, n = 6). The weight ratio of bean dregs (wet) to wheat bran was 4:6. Sows were fed different diets from 85 d of gestation until weaning. The results showed that supplementation with FBW increased average daily feed intake (ADFI) during lactation (p < 0.05). FBW supplementation also increased litter weight and milk yield (p < 0.05). The contents of Escherichia coli in the feces of the treatment groups were significantly reduced by FBW supplementation (p < 0.01). FBW supplementation significantly improved the fecal morphology (p < 0.05), alleviating sows' constipation. In conclusion, FBW could increase the ADFI, improve lactation and piglet litter weight in sows and reduce the pathogenic bacterial content in sow feces and constipation.

Some biological activities and isoflavone (daidzein, genisten) contents were investigated from chungkugjang (CK) fermented with black beans and Bacillus strains at 42$^{\circ}C$ for 72 hr. n antibacterial activity, black bean CK fermented with Bacillus megaterium SMY-212 was higher than that ferment4d with B. subtilis. In both CK the methanol extract fo large black bean CK was more effective than that of small black bean CK was more effective than that of small black bean. Hydrogen-donating activity of methanol extract of chungjugjang (MEC) prepared with large and small black soybean showed to be 76.4 and 75.5%, respectively. Hydrogen-donating activity of MEC prepared with B. subtilis and SMY-212 was slightly highter than that without both strains. MEC of large black bean was higher in nitrite-scavenging activity than that of small black bean, and black bean CKs fermented with B. subtilis and SMY-212 have no difference in nitrite-scavenging activity B. subtilis and SMY-212. MEC of black bean showed strong antioxidative activity against peroxidation of linoleic acid and $H_2O$$_2$-FeSO$_4$-induced peroxidation of rat liver homogenate. MEC of black bean with Bacillus strains was higher in antioxidative activities than that of black bean without Bacillus strains. Contents of isoflavone (daidzein, genistein) were gradually increased during fermentation of CK. The isoflavone content was slightly higher in large black bean CK than in small black bean CK.
