Lipoxygenase and Kunitz trypsin inhibitor protein are the main antinutritional factor in mature soybean seed. A new soybean cultivar, "Gaechuck#2" with yellow seed coat, lipoxygenase2,3-free and Kunitz trypsin inhibitor protein-free was developed. It was selected from the population derived from the cross between "Jinpumkong2ho" and C242. Plants of "Gaechuck#2" have determinate growth habit with purple flowers, tawny pubescence, yellow seed coat, yellow hilum, oval leaflet shape and brown pods at maturity. Seed protein and oil content on a dry weight basis were 40.7% and 18.7%, respectively. It has shown a resistant reaction to soybean necrosis, soybean mosaic virus, Cercospora leaf spot and blight, black root rot, pod and stem blight, and soybean pod borer. Gaechuck#2 matured in 4 October with plant height of 54cm and a 100-seed weight of 24.4g. Average Yield of Gaechuck#2 was 230 - 250 kg/10a in 2005 - 2007.

Soybean is one of the world's most widely cultivated food crops, and soybean seeds are supplied from national seed resources in Korea. However, the transmission of seed-borne diseases through infected soybean seeds is problematic. Among these diseases, soybean seed decay is caused by Diaporthe spp. Infecting the pods, and the infected seeds show rotting symptoms. Most diseased seeds are removed during the selection process; however, it is difficult to distinguish infected seeds that do not display symptoms. Hence, a sequencebased method was devised to screen Diaporthe-infected seeds. Based on the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribe spacer (ITS) region of the pathogen, a primer was designed to distinguish the infection from other soybean seed pathogens. As a result of the comparison between healthy and Diaporthe-diseased seeds by using the primers, Diaporthe was detected only in the diseased seeds. Therefore, it is possible to distribute healthy soybean seeds by detecting Diaporthe-diseased seeds at the genetic level using the Diaporthe-specific primers.

We evaluated the physicochemical and sensory properties of rice cake (Baekseolgi) admixed with various amounts of soybean peel and prepared using a microwave oven. Moisture content decreased gradually during storage but the decrease was less when soybean peel was present, compared with the control material p<0.05). Weight reduction was significantly inhibited as soybean peel level increased. The color lightness $(L^*)$ and redness $(a^*)$ values did not significantly change after addition of soybean peel. However, the yellowness $(b^*)$ value increased uponaddition of soybean peel p<0.05). The RVA properties decreased significantly with the addition of soybean peel, but pasting temperature increased. In terms of texture, neither springiness nor cohesiveness changed upon addition of soybean peel. The hardness, gumminess, and chewiness of Baekseolgi tended to decrease in proportion to the amount of soybean peel added. Adhesiveness rose gradually during storage but the increase was less when soybean peel was added, compared with control. On sensory testing, neither color nor flavor changed upon addition of soybean peel. Baekseolgi with 5% (w/w) soybean peel scored lowest in terms of taste. Hardness score and moisture level were highest when soybean peel was added to 2% or 3% (both w/w). Overall acceptability was greatest when soybean peel was added to 2% (w/w). Thus, Baekseolgi with 2% (w/w) added soybean peal was satisfactory. We conclude that addition of soybean peel to Baekseolgi prepared using a microwave oven improves physicochemical and sensory properties, and delays deterioration during storage.

To monitor GM soybean in soybean processed foods, tofu and biji, we prepared tofu and biji containing 0%, 1%, 3%, 5% and 100% GM soybean, respectively. We examined epsps gene inserted in soybean by PCR and EPSPS protein expressed in soybean using western blotting and lateral flow strip test to compare the sensitivity of these methods. A PCR product of 123 bp inserted in GM soybean was detected in all tofu and biji containing 1%, 3%, 5% and 100% GM soybean with the exception of 0% samples; however, the size of 600 bp inserted in GM soybean was only detected in tofu containing 100% soybean and in biji containing 5% and 100% soybean. In the protein level, GM soybean product was only detected in tofu and biji containing 100% GM soybean by western blotting. In addition, only biji containing 100% GM soybean was detected by lateral flow strip test. We concluded that in order to detect GM soybean efficiently in processed food, the PCR method is more sensitive than immunological methods. With the PCR method, small size product with approximately 100 bp in PCR product is sensitive to detect GM soybean in processed foods.

This experiment was conducted to investigate changes of soybean curd yield according to the extension of soaking time during manufacturing of soybean curd. To investigate those changes systematically, transmission electron microscopy and disc-gel electrophoresis were used. The soybean curd yield was increased from 45.0% to 50.5% and 55.4% respectively as soaking time is extended from 5 hours to 10 and 24 hours. The solid extraction and soybean milk coagulation were also increased according to the extension of soaking time. From disc-gel electrophoresis patterns of soybean milk protein and soybean curd protein, numbers of band were increased and major band thickened by expending the soaking time. Most of high molecular bands of soybean milk protein were transfered to soybean curd. Crude 7S proteins of soybean milk and soybean curd in dis-gel electrophoresis were appeared to be 4 and 5 bands respectively, and crude 11S proteins of soybean milk and soybean curd were appeared to be 9 and 8 bands respectively. Of soybean milk bands, most of 11S component transfered to soybean curd. Transmission electron photomicrographs revealed that the dimension of each protein body became larger and the numbers of spherosome around the protein bodies in unit area fewer by extending the soaking time of soybean.

Fermented traditional soybean paste(doenjang), koji soybean paste by Aspergillus oryzae, natto soybean paste by Bacillus natto and koji & natto soybean paste by Aspergillus oryzae and Bacillus natto were analyzed for compositions of amino acids and contents of nitrogens. Amino type nitrogen was the highest in fermenting for 90 days as $271{\sim}868\;mg/100g$, and its contents were in the order of koji soybean paste>traditional soybean paste>koji & natto soybean paste>natto soybean paste in all samples tested. In compositions of total amino acids, glutamic and aspartic acids were rich in koji soybean paste but big differences were not observed in all samples. But some differences were observed in free amino acid compositions in all samples, that is, glutamic acid, tyrosine, lysine and aspartic acid were detected more abundantly. Sum of free amino acids for 90 days were in order of koji soybean paste>traditional soybean paste>koji & natto soybean paste>natto soybean paste. The ratios of free to total amino acids were $3.28{\sim}19.81%$ for 45 days, but increased to $10.88{\sim}25.10%$ for 90 days, and in order of traditional doenjang>koji doenjang>koji & natto doenjang>natto doenjang. Methionine and histidine showed higher ratios of free to total amino acid but lower in glutamic acid and aspartic acid. These results suggest that koji and traditional soybean paste of having high ratios of free amino acids to free and total amino acids may be more favorable in soybean paste fermentation.

Objectives This study was designed to investigate the effects of fermented soybean upon anti-inflammation, cytotoxicity, antioxidant and intestinal mucous membrane permeability by measuring the cell viability, NO (nitric oxide) production, DPPH, Polyphenol, HRP and TEER in cells like Raw 264.7 and HCT 116 using fermented soybean. Methods Raw 264.7 cell and HCT 166 cell were used in this study. And fermented soybean powders were used for the experimental group and soybean powders for the control group. There was inflammation response upon using lipopolysaccharide(LPS). Fermented soybean powders and soybean powders were in a respectively different dose added to the cells with LPS. MTT assay, NO, DPPH and Polyphenol measurement, TEER, HRP were conducted for each cell. The results of this study were presented in mean and standard deviation. Results 1. In Raw 254.7 cells added with $100{\mu}l/ml$ unfermented soybean powders, 104.95% higher than 62.59% was measured. In Raw 254.7 cells added with $100{\mu}l/ml$ fermented soybean powders, there was 74.90% measured higher than 62.59%, which was a significant result. 2. By a gradual increase of unfermented soybean powders like $0.1{\mu}l/ml$, $1.0{\mu}l/ml$, $10{\mu}l/ml$, $100{\mu}l/ml$, the measured NO were also gradually decreased $53.12{\mu}M$, $47.57{\mu}M$, $37.02{\mu}M$, $28.16{\mu}M$. In case of cells added with fermented soybean powders, $43.95{\mu}M$ NO was measured in $0.1{\mu}l/ml$ which is significant, and in other cases, mostly measured over$ 56.72{\mu}M$. 3. It was inferred that fermented soybean powders have anti-inflammatory effects of maintaining intestinal mucous membrane permeability because the measured values of cells in both groups were all higher than $133.62{\Omega}$ measured of cells added with only LPS. And measured values of cells in both groups were all lower than 2.26 measured of cells added with only LPS. 4. In case of experiment DPPH and polyphenol measurement, fermented group was all higher than unfermented group. Conclusion From the results of conducting MTT assay, NO measurement, and TEER, HRP by using cells Raw 264.7 and HCT-116, even though there was no significance in the correlation between cytotoxicity, anti-inflammatory effects, both unfermented soybean powders and fermented soybean powders were shown to have intestinal mucous membrane permeability improvement effects. This effects could be applicable for autoimmune diseases, chronic inflammatory diseases and so additional studies are expected in the future. From the results of conducting DPPH, Polyphenol measurement, Fermented soybean may be useful as potential antioxidant.

The ratio between 11S Sand 7S globulins was greater in large seed size varieties (LSSVs) of soybean than in small seed size varieties (SSSVs) or medium seed size varieties (MSSVs) but did not differ between MSSVs and SSSVs. The cysteine and methionine contents of 11S globulins were greater than those of total seed proteins and 7S globulins. The acidic monoamino monocarboxylic amino acids were the most abundant class of amino acid in soybean seed (27.2%) and soybean curd protein (29.3%). Isolated 7S and 11S fractions were analyzed by HPLC. Of the 12 peaks detected, 4 constituted 64.1% of the proteins of the SSSVs, 65.6% of the proteins of the MSSVs, and 70.5% of the proteins of the LSSVs. The 11S/7S globulin ratio was related to the yield and hardness of soybean curd. The MSSVs had the greatest yield of soybean curd, but the soybean curd hardness of the MSSVs was greater than that of the SSSVs. These results show that the 11S/7S ratio and color of soybean seeds can be used to predict the yield, hardness, and color of soybean curd.

Studies were conducted with intact White Leghorn roosters to determine the true metabolisable energy (TME) and the true amino acid availability (TAAA) in five dehulled and hulled soybean meals produced in China. 60 roosters, kept in individual cages, were fasted for 48 h and then tube-fed 50 g of one of experimental feedstuffs and their excreta was then collected for the subsequent 48 h period. Two separate collection periods were used with each meal being fed to 12 roosters. The birds were given a 15-day recovery period between collection periods. An additional 12 roosters were either fasted or fed a protein-free diet in order to estimate the extent of endogenous losses of energy and amino acids in excreta. The average values per bird for nitrogen loss, endogenous energy losses (EEL) and endogenous energy losses corrected to zero-nitrogen balance ($EEL_n$) were found to be 0.74 g, 47.0 kJ and 21.5 kJ, respectively. It was found that the TME and TAAA values of dehulled soybean meal were higher than those of hulled soybean meal. The TME and nitrogen-corrected TME metabolisable energy values of dehulled soybean meal were 10.58 and 10.74 MJ/kg, respectively, while the corresponding values for hulled soybean meal were 10.03 and 10.27 MJ/kg, respectively. The average indispensable and dispensable amino acid availability of dehulled soybean meal was 92.1 and 93.5%, compared with 89.3 and 91.4% for hulled soybean meal. Dehulled soybean meal would therefore appear to be superior to hulled soybean meal as a source of protein and energy for use in poultry rations.

This study examined the growth and sensory characteristics of soybean sprout cultured at 25$\pm$1$^{\circ}C$ for 4 days with distilled water control and green tea extracted water (0.03% and 0.05%). The proximate composition of soybean sprout in the green-tea water was better than that of the control in ash, protein and fat, while the soybean sprout was especially higher in 0.05% green-tea water. The contents of vitamin C and $\beta$-carotene were higher in soybean sprout in green-tea water than the control. The total free amino acids composition of soybean sprout in green-tea water was better than that of the control, with the highest being obtained in soybean sprout in 0.03% green-tea water. Antioxidative activity was assayed by DPPH radical scavenging ability with spectrophotometer at 514 nm. The soybean sprout in green-tea water was higher than control. The amylase activity of the soybean sprout increased steadily during the first 4 days and that of the control was higher than soybean sprout in green-tea water. The proteinase of soybean sprout steadily increased during 4 day culture. Furthermore, the proteinase activity of soybean sprout in green-tea water was higher than that of the control up to 2 days. Whereas after 3 days, it was the highest in 0.03% green-tea water and then decreased remarkably in 0.05% green-tea water.
