We investigated the effect of black soybean and doenjang with black soybean on production of cytokines including interleukin-2 (IL-2), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ (TNF-${\alpha}$) compared with yellow soybean and doenjang with yellow soybean. We also determined inhibitory effect of two types of soybeans and doenjang on tumor metastasis produced by colon 26-M3.1 carcinoma cells. The cytokine productions of mouse splenocytes increased by the exposure of lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 1 ${\mu}g$/ml) compared to without treatment of LPS. The LPS-induced IL-2 production was highest in the black soybean methanol extract, while the methanol extract from black soybean doenjang fermented for 2 mo showed the higher levels of IL-2 without LPS (p<0.05). In case of LPS-induced IL-6 production, the methanol extracts from control, yellow soybean, black soybean doenjang fermented for 2 and 7 mo showed higher levels of IL-6 compared to those of black soybean, and yellow soybean doenjang fermented for 2 mo (p<0.05). The methanol extract of black soybean doenjang fermented for 2 mo showed significantly higher levels of TNF-${\alpha}$ in both with and without LPS (p<0.05). In experiment of tumor metastasis, the treatment (1 mg/mouse) of methanol extract from black soybean doenjang fermented for 7 mo inhibited tumor metastasis by 50% and had the highest inhibitory effect among other samples (p<0.05). From these results, doenjang manufactured with black soybean modulated the production of cytokine and showed anticancer effect, suggesting that this effect was increased with increased periods of fermentation.

Physiological activity and antioxidative activity of Maesangi(Capsosiphon fulvescens) extracts with distilled water or 95% ethanol were investigated. For the evaluation of physiological and antioxidative activities, some evaluation assay methods such as measurement of Hunter color value, chlorophyll a/b value, total phenolics, reducing power and thiobarbituric acid(TBA) value of soybean oil were used. Proximate composition and mineral contents of Masaengi were orders of crude protein>crude fiber>moisture>crude ash>crude lipid, and K>Ca>Mg>Na>P>Fe>Zn, respectively. In ethanol extract, the content of total phenolic compounds in Maesangi was determined to half times of that in Dasima(Laminaria). The reducing power of Maesangi-ehtanol extract was about 5 % of vitamin C and was lower than that of Dasima-ethanol extract. The TBA value of Maesangi-ethanol extract on soybean oil oxidation was about 47 % and 68.4 % to control in three and eight days oxidation, respectively. But TBA value difference was not observed significantly with the dosage below 5mL of ethanol extract.

Screening was performed on edible natural sources to examine superoxide radical scavenging activities by using the method of superoxide dismutase assay. Among 47 kinds of samples, the extract of Capsella bursa-pastoris showed a potent superoxide radical scavenging activity of 11.6 unit / mg solid and was selected for further studies. In order to select optimal extraction solvent system, Cappella bursa-pastoris was extracted with various solvents and the electron donating abilities and inhibitory effects on lipid peroxidation of linoleic acid were measured. Among them, the ethanol extract of Capsella bursa-pastoris possessed the highest level of activities. The ethanol extract of Cappella bursa-pastoris was found to have an inhibitory effect on autoxidation of soybean oil at 5$0^{\circ}C$ from peroxide value, conjugated diene value and refractive index. In the soybean oil containing 0.2% of ethanol extract, induction period was increased 2 times in comparison with control.

When various strains of Streptomyces griseus and S. galbus were examined for the ability on the production of streptomycin in tryptic soy(TS) broth, S. griseus ATCC 27001 was found to be the best. S. griseus ATCC 12475 and ATCC 23345 showed also good growth and favorable production of streptomycin. Examination of various complex media reported in fermentation literatures for the industrial production of streptomycin indicated that glucose-soybean media-sodium chloride (GSS) broth and K (Chucken) broth gave higher yields of streptomycin than others studied by us. Examination of the ingredients of media producing streptomycin in high yield indicated that some components in soybean activated the production of streptomycin. Addition of meat extract enhanced the yield of streptomycin but it could be substituted with distillers solubles without much effect on the yield. Addition of corn steep liquor decreased the production of streptomycin.

The growth of Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus isolated from human interstinal bacteria were induced by water extract and U-step extract of soybean and carrot and the pH of these bacteria-cultured media were decreased. The increasing growth rates of these bacteria are related to the decrease of the pH of these bacteria-cultured media. When human intestinal flora as starter were inoculated into the medium containing water extract of soybean and carrot. the growth of lactic bacteria were also induced and the pH of the media were decreased. By measuring the pH of the media which were inoculated and cultured intestinal bacteria as a starter, it is possible to determine whether the food are the growth factors of intestinal lactic acid bacteria or not. By this method, the food which decreased pH of the medium were soybean, turnip, carrot. leek, garic, dropwork, wonnwood and onion. 'These foods may induce lactic acid bacteria in human in1estlne.

Three classes of proteinase inhibitors are known in soybean; the Kunitz trypsin inhibitor (SKTI), the Bowman-Birk proteinase inhibitor and its isoinhibitors. To study the molecular structure and expression characteristics of the SKTI, antibody was obtained by immunizing rabbit with the SKTI purified from soybean by preparative electrophoresis. Anti-SKTI antibody was not only specific for mature SKTI in soybean seed but also recognized the precursor which was synthesized in vitro. Translation in vitro was carried out in wheat germ extract with polyadenylated mRNA isolated from developing soybean seeds. One of the seed specific translation products, MW 24K, was identified to be the precursor for the SKTI by immunoprecipitation with anti-SKTI antibody. Mature SKTI of MW 20K, however, was not detected in the translates in vitro. These results suggest that the precursor polypeptide is synthesized from the mRNA and is cleaved to yield mature SKTI in soybean seed. The SKTI gene was expressed with the maturation of soybean seed in a tissue-specific and development stage-specific manner.

The antimicrobial effect of mixed solution of botanical antimicrobial agent-citrus product (BAAC) and such a natural additive as aloe, ginseng or Prunus mume extract on the spoilage microorganisms of soybean sprouts were investigated by paper disk method. The mixture (BAAG) of BAAC and ginseng extract showed the remarkable antimicrobial activity in the result of the experiment. Therefore, we used BAAG as pre-soaking and cultivating solution of soybean sprouts. Total bacterial and Escherichia coli cell count of soybean sprouts pre-soaked and cultivated in the BAAG-diluted solution (50 ppm) showed 2.5 ${\times}$ 10 CFU/mL and 1.3 ${\times}$ 10 cfu/mL in comparison with 3.5 ${\times}$ 10$^3$ cfu/mL and 5.8 ${\times}$ 10$^3$ cfu/mL of the control, respectively. BAAG-treated soybean sprouts also showed no slimy brown product and undesirable odor characterized in the control. It was confirmed that BAAG could be a proper pre-soaking and cultivating solution of soybean sprouts.

The purpose of this study was to investgate dyeing, moradnting properties and colorfastness activities of silk, polyamide, acetate treated black soybean extracts. The color of extract by buffer solution (pH=1) red, but the higher pH of extracted black soybean solution the paler of color strength. Black soybean extracts was approved anthocyanin of 3type(Delphinidin3-glucoside, Cyanidin 3-glucoside, Petunidin 3-glucoside) by chemiclal analysis. This anthocynin, in acid condition, is oxinium structure (red color, soluable) but, in alkali condition quinoid structure(dark brown, in soluable). The optimum dyeing condition of black soybean anthocynin was 10min at $30^{\circ}C$, pH -1. Colorfastness to washing and light showed generally low but crocking fastness was excellent.

Soybean is of particular interest as a food supplement of isoflavones for inhibiting bone resorption in postmenopausal woman. These beneficial effects of isoflavones are caused by functioning as partial agonists or antagonists of estrogen, of which anti-resorptive effect is mediated indirectly through paracrine factors produced by osteoblasts that act on osteoclasts. In this study, the indirect effect of soybean on osteoclastic differentiation of RAW264.7 cells were investigated. The conditioned medium was collected from MC3T3-E1 osbeoblasts treated with 0.001 mg/mL~0.1 mg/mL soybean extracts for 6 days, mixed in 1:1 ratio with osteoclast medium, and then added into RAW264.7 cells with receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL), a differentiation inducer for 3 days. Of paracrine factors in the conditioned medium, the protein expression of osteoprotegerin (OPG) with soybean extract was specifically higher in a dose dependent manner than with $10^{-9}$ M~$10^{-6}$ M of estrogen, genistein or daidzein standards. In RAW264.7 cells, the conditioned medium with soybean inhibited RANKL induced osteoclastic differentiation as total number of multinucleated tartrateresistant alkaline phosphatase (TRAP)-positive osteoclasts and protein expression of MMP-9 were significantly decreased. Coupled with the low expression of estrogen receptor $\alpha$ and $\beta$ proteins in RANKL treated RAW264.7 cells, we demonstrate that the conditioned medium of soybean treated osteoblasts inhibits RANKL induced differentiation of osteoclasts with the selective expression of OPG in osteoblasts.

Objective: The current study aimed to replace soybean oil in broiler diets with linseed oil, which is rich in omega-3 fatty acid supplemented with pomegranate peel extract (PPE) and measured its effect on broiler performance, carcass traits, lipid profile, as well as fatty acids composition, phenols and flavonoids content of broiler muscles and immunity of broiler chicks. Methods: A total of 300 1-day-old Cobb chicks were randomly allotted into six experimental groups, T1 fed on basal diet with soybean oil without any additives, T2 fed on basal diet with soybean oil with addition of 0.5 g/kg diet PPE, T3 fed on fed on basal diet with soybean oil with addition of 1 g/kg diet PPE, T4 fed on basal diet with linseed oil without any additives, T5 fed on basal diet with linseed oil with addition of 0.5 g/kg diet PPE and T6 fed on basal diet with linseed oil with addition of 1 g/kg diet PPE. The PPE supplementation with 0.05% improved final body weight with either soybean oil ration or linseed oil ration. Results: The PPE improved carcass dressing percentage in comparison with the control groups. Body fat levels decreased with increasing PPE levels, especially with a linseed oil diet. Replacing soybean oil with linseed oil decreased the total cholesterol and triacylglycerol levels in broiler serum. The PPE supplementation decreased serum total cholesterol levels and increased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. The content of the breast muscle alpha linolenic acid improved after replacement of soybean oil with linseed oil in broiler diets. PPE supplementation increased the phenol and flavonoid content in broiler meat and increased lysozyme activity. Conclusion: Replacing soybean oil with linseed oil in broiler diets with the addition of PPE enriched muscle meat with omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants and improved broiler immunity and their serum lipid profile.
