This study was carried out to investigate the effect of protease on the functionality of soymilk protein. The protease from Bacillus polymyxa was selected because of the least production of bitter taste and calcium-aggregation. The results are summarized as follows: 1. Solubility of SMP(soymilk protein) and SPI(soyprotein isolate) were lowest at pH 4.7 and increased as the pH value reached closer to either ends. PT-SMP(pretense treated soymilk protein) showed higher solubility at all pH range, especially at pH 4.7 than SMP, SPI. 2. Emulsion activity of three samples was lowest at pH 4.7 and significantly increased as pH approched higher acidic or alkaline regions. PT-SMP showed similar activity to other samples, but less stability. 3. Foam capacity of PT-SMP was lowest at pH 8 and increased in acidic, alkaline pH. PT-SMP showed higher foam capacity at all pH range, but lower foam stability than SMP and SPI. 4. PT-SMP showed higher heat coagulability than other samples at all pH range except pH 4.7.

Sweet potato-malt worts were prepared by using sweet potato paste of Shinyulmi and Shinjami as the main adjunct, enzymes, malt, hop, and water. We brewed low-malt beers of the lager- or ale-type by using these worts and inoculating bottom and top fermenting yeast, respectively. Moreover, the componential and functional characteristics of the resulting beers were evaluated. During saccharification of sweet potato, the addition of an enzyme agent containing ${\alpha}-amylase$ caused an improvement in filterability and an increase of total sugar. The sugar content of sweet potato-malt wort which was prepared by the addition of 0.1% enzyme agent containing ${\alpha}-amylase$ and a three-step infusion procedure was $13.5^{\circ}Brix$ adequate for beer brewing. The polyphenol and anthocyanin contents of Shinjami beer were increased with increasing content of the paste, and also increased DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities. But in Shinyulmi beer it were decreased. A strong correlation was obserbed between antioxidave activities and polyphenol and anthocyanin contents of sweet potato beers. In all lager- and ale-type low-malt beers using 41.6% of Shinjami pastes, sensory attributes very similar to those of 100% malt beer were obtained and they were very good as they had unique red color.

The objective of this study was to reduce the tumbling time with improved binding capacity for the manufacture of restructured hams(RHs) using a transglutaminase(TGase). The RHs had 73.9∼75.7% moisture, 3.63∼4.18% fat, 16.6∼20.6% protein with pH values of 5.95∼6.10 and water activity of 0.95∼0.96. No differences in hunter color values or functional properties were observed with the addition of 0.3% TGase or increased tumbling time. However, RHs without TGase had lower(p<0.05) textural profile analysis(TPA) values than those with TGase, regardless of tumbling time. Improved shear values were also observed with increased tumbling time only in RHs without TGase or with the addition of 0.3% TGase as well. This study indicated that 1 hr tumbling with the addition of 0.3% TGase improved the textural characteristics, as compared to the control 1(1 hr tumbling without TGase), resulting in similar shear values of the treatment, which tumbled for 4 hrs without TGase.

Baking quality of dough made of flour substituted with insoluble ${\beta}-glucan$ (10, 20, and 30%), functional food material produced from Agrobacterium spp. R259 KCTC 10197BP, was evaluated. Optimum time to reach 1st stage of dough fermentation decreased with increasing ${\beta}-glucan$ content, whereas mixing time increased. Addition of ${\beta}-glucan$ did not affect pH of dough. Hunter color L, a, and b values of dough added with up to 20% ${\beta}-glucan$ were not significantly different from those of control. Rheology properties such as cohesiveness and springiness of ${\beta}-glucan$ added dough increased, while hardness and gumminess decreased. Amylogram showed addition of ${\beta}-glucan$ to flour lowered setback and consistency, which are suggested to delay retrogradation.

N-vinyl caprolactam (NVCL), a kind of N-vinyl amide monomer, must be dissolved in continuous phase ($scCO_2$) for dispersion polymerization in supercritical carbon dioxide. Phase behavior of $CO_2$+NVCL is very important and necessary for determining initial polymerization condition and for monomer extraction from final polymer. There is the limitation of experimental method for obtaining pure properties of the monomer because of the possibility of polymerization. And N-methyl caprolactam (NMCL) is the useful solvent for the gas treating process. In the viewpoint of molecular thermodynamics, NVCL and NMCL have same functional group i.e. ${\varepsilon}$-caprolactam. In the case of NVCL, hydrogen of amide group is substituted with vinyl group and for NMCL, hydrogen of amide group is substituted with methyl group. We suggested modified group contribution method for this ${\varepsilon}$-caprolactam derivatives. This new group contribution parameter was applied to correlate $CO_2$ + N-vinyl caprolactam or N-methyl caprolactam system.

Electronic and magnetic properties of the novel rare-earth permanent magnet, $Sm_{2}Fe_{17}N_{3}$, are investigated by performing self-consistent local density functional electronic structure calculations. Employing the LMTO(Linearized Muffin-Tin Orbital) band method, we have obtained the electronic band structures for both paramag-netic and ferromagnetic phases of $Sm_{2}Fe_{17}N_{3}$. Based on the energy band structures, we have studied bonding ef-fects among Sm, Fe, and N atom as well as electronic and magnetic structures. It is found that the N atom sub-stantially reduces the magnetic moment of neighboring Fe atoms through the hybridization interaction and also plays a role in stabilizing the structure. the average magnetic moment of Fe atoms in the ferromagnetic phase of $Sm_{2}Fe_{17}N_{3}$ is estimated to be $2.33{\mu}_B$, which is ~8% larger than the magnetic moment of $Sm_{2}Fe_{17}$, $2.16{\mu}_B$. The Fe I (c) atom, which is located farthest from the N atom and surrounded by 12 Fe nearest neighbors, has the largest magnetic moment ($2.65{\mu}_B$), while the Fe III (f), whose hybridization interaction with N atom is very strong, has the smallest magnetic moment($1.96{\mu}_B$).

Considering the development of fusion ingredients rom red ginseng and Cheonggukjang (soybean-fermented food), their commercial powders were evaluated in their Hunter's colors, volatile compounds, and sensory properties depending on manufacturing companies and mixing ratio of both powdered products. Hunters L, a and b values of red ginseng powders were $75.56\sim85.50,\;1.90\sim6.30,\;and\;23.29\sim35.08$, respectively, while those of Cheonggukjang powders were $64.96\sim71.69,\;4.64\sim8.30,\;and\;30.45\sim36.50$, respectively. Volatile compounds were mainly composed of hexanal, $\beta-pinene$, methyl benzene, 3,5-methyl propyl nonane, 2-propanone, decane, and 2,8-dimethyl undecane in red ginseng samples, and of 2,3-butanedione, decane, 2,2,7,7-tetramethyl octane, and 3-methyl butanal in Cheonggukjang samples. Total volatiles of the mixed samples decreased as ginseng decreased and Cheonggukjang increased. The mixed sample of both red ginseng and cheonggukjang in same amounts was the highest in its sensory acceptability, which was composed in the order of 2-propanone, 2-butanone, pentane, hexanal and 3-methyl butanal. The above results indicate that red ginseng and Cheonggukjang showed a potential as fusion ingredient for preparing new functional produce through further processing.

Chitosan provides beneficial effects such as decrease in cholesterol, weight loss, and antioxidative effects. The manufacture of Maribo cheese containing powdered chitosan (CP) or nanopowdered chitosan (NCP) is not yet established. Thus, this study was conducted to determine the effect of CP and NCP on Maribo cheese's physicochemical properties. The curd was added with 0.2 and 0.5% of CP and NCP, respectively, after the second whey drainage. The pH changed and the lactic acid bacterial population decreased in all treatments. Additionally, WSN and TBA gradually increased during the ripening of cheese. The TP of control cheese was higher than that of another group. On the basis of the obtained results, consumer preference test on overall acceptability of 0.2% NCP was good-41%, great good 13%. It was concluded that the quality of Maribo cheese was not affected by adding chitosan. Furthermore, 0.2% NCP was preferred during cheese ripening and observed the possibility of functional cheese than another group.

Aminobutyric acid (GABA), a major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system of animals, has several physiological effects including anti-hypertensive, diuretic, tranquilizing, and anti-stress properties, in humans. The purpose of this study was to investigate Lactobacillus plantarum K74, which was isolated from kimchi and selected as a strain with a high ability to produce GABA, to develop a new starter culture for fermented milk production. L. plantarum K74 produced $134.52{\mu}g/mL$ GABA in MRS broth containing 1% MSG, $212.27{\mu}g/mL$ GABA in MRS broth containing 2% MSG, and $234.63{\mu}g/mL$ GABA in MRS broth containing 3% MSG. The optimum growth temperature of L. plantarum K74 was $34^{\circ}C$, reaching a pH of 4.4 after 18 hours of growth. L. plantarum K74 was most sensitive to novobiocin out of 16 different antibiotics tested, and was most resistant to kanamycin and polymyxin B. L. plantarum K74 did not produce ${\beta}$-glucuronidase, a carcinogenic enzyme, and was comparatively tolerant to bile juice and low pH. Furthermore, it displayed resistance to Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, and Staphylococcus aureus at rates of 54.9%, 46.3%, and 0.7%, respectively.
