The effect of soybean addition to the preparation of Jeung-Pyun(Korean fermented rice cake) and the fermentational characteristics of Jeung-Pyun dough were determined. Jeung-Pyun dough composed of rice 100g, soybean 20g, water 40g, salt 0.8g, sugar 15g and Tak-ju 30g was fermented for up to 20hours. the numbers of total microbes, yeasts and lactic acid bacteria in the dough during fermen-tation increased rapidly during 5 hours of fermentation, but Leuconostoc mesenteroides during 7 hours of fermentation, Generally, there were many more microbes in the Jeung-Pyun dough with soybeans than in the Jeung-Pyun dough with rice. The volume of 7 hour fermented Jeung-Pyun was most massive, especially in the soybean added Jeung-Pyun. 1% dextran-added rice Jeung-Pyun, the volume of steamed cake was increased more than that of rice Jeung-Pyun, but is was not as bulky as in the soybean-added cake. In the sensory evaluation of the test cake products, the 7 hour fermented cake was preferred by nost. As for instrumental characteristics, the 7 hour feremented Jeung-Pyun showed the lowest values for hardness and elasticity, brittleness and chewiness. The rice Jeung-Pyun showed were stored at 2$0^{\circ}C$ the hardness, brittleness and cohesiveness of rice Jeung-Pyun were respectively increased rapidly after 5 days of storage. The cohesiveness, elasticity, brittleness, chewiness, gumminess of both rice Jeung-Pyun and soybean-added Jeung-Pyun were decreased with storage time.

The study is to predict fermentation time of Korean style soybean paste by portable electronic nose that has six metal oxide sensors. Korean style soybean paste using Aspergillus oryzae was fermented at $15^{\circ}C,\;20^{\circ}C\;and\;25^{\circ}C$. The changes of sensitivity by electronic nose, amino nitrogen and reducing sugar were observed during fermentation. Sensitivities of six metal oxide sensor were decreased with increase of fermentation time while amino nitrogen was increased. Sensor #3 and #4 showed good correlation between sensitivities of the sensors and fermentation time $(r^2=0.71{\sim}0.95)$. And the good correlation between sensitivity by electronic nose and the produced amino nitrogen was shown until soybean paste was fermented. Portable electronic nose using metal oxide sensor (#3 and #4) could predict fermentation time of Korean style soybean paste.

Alcohol fermentation was carried out by using the yeast (S. cerevisiae) and soybean whey as the sole carbon source. The whey was gained form waste after manufacturing of soybean curd. The whey contained approximately one gram sugar per hundred mililter and the sugar was consisted of a 65 per cent of reducing sugar. However, it showed a low protein content of 43mg per the same volume. Ammonium sulfate showed the best effect on the generation of carbon dioxide among three kinds of tested nitrogen sourogen sources, potassium nitrate, urea and ammonium sulfate. Thus, fermentation was carried out with supplement of 2.0g ammonium sulfate to one liter of soybean whey. During fermentation continued for 48 hours, the maximum amount of ethanol 1.86g was produced from one liter of soybean whey. The ethanol fermentation utilized 81 and 94% of its initial sugar and protein contents, respectively.

Doenjang(fermented soybean paste) was prepared by the series of processes including soaking, cooking, first fermentation(3 days at 30$\pm$2$^{\circ}C$) for the preparation of meju(soybean koji) after inoclulation of Aspergillus oryzae, and further fermentation (60 days at 30$\pm$2$^{\circ}C$) for the ripening after addition of salt 13% to meju. the crude phenolics extracted from defatted soybean and doenjang were fractionated onto the neutral phenolics(isofavonoids) and acidic phenolics(phenolic acids), respectively. Composition and antioxidative characteristics of phenolic fractions were determined. The neutral phenolic fractions contained genistin, genistein and daidzein; on the other hand, acidic phenolic fractions had syringic acid and seven other components. The content of genistin in doenjang dramatically decreased at the early stage of fermentation, whereas the content of genistein rather increased. In addition, the content of syringic acid of acidic phenolic fractions were increased during fermentation. These changes in individual phenolic components affected the antioxidative activity of neutral phenolics or acidic phenolics. antioxidative activity of phenolic compounds were evaluated during soybean fermentation. The antioxidative and free radical scavenging activity of neutral phenolic fractions and acidic phenolic fractions on linoleic acid autoxidation were also investigated.

The microstructures of soybean milk curds, prepared by different coagulation methods, were observed by the scaning electron microscope. Th curd coagulated by theaddition of bacerial soybean mil clotting enzyme showed little textural changes and gave smoother gel than those prepared either by lactic acid fermentation using Streptococcus thermophilus or by the addition of CaSO$_4$. The curds obtained by lactic acid fermentation and by the addition of inorganic salt exhibited three dimensional network structure which indicated harder gel than that prepared by soybean mil clotting enzyme.

This study was carried out to investigate changes of protease and amylase activities and nitrogen content in Chungkookjang prepared by Bacillus subtilis S8 and different soybean. Amino-type nitrogen and ammonia-type nitrogen contents increased with an increase in fermentation time and was the highest in black soybean Chungkookjang. The number of viable cells increased up to 24 h of fermentation at all temperatures tested; especially, their levels were the highest at $40^{\circ}C$. Protease activity was the highest in black soybean Chungkookjang. ${\alpha}$-amylase activity increased significantly up to 6 h of fermentation at $30^{\circ}C$ and $40^{\circ}C$ and then maintained constantly. It also increased up to 30-36 h of fermentation at $45^{\circ}C$ and then decreased. ${\beta}$-amylase activity was the highest in black soybean Chungkookjang at $35^{\circ}C$ and $40^{\circ}C$ and in yellow soybean Chungkookjang at $45^{\circ}C$. Production pattern of reducing sugar was similar to that of ${\beta}$-amylase. Amino-type nitrogen, viable cell number and reducing sugar content and ${\beta}$-amylase activity was the highest in Chungkookjang fermented at $40^{\circ}C$. Considering amino-type and ammonia-type nitrogen contents, Chungkookjang fermentation using yellow soybean was favorable. However, the fermentation using black soybean was favorable, considering protease and amylase activities and reducing sugar content.

As a basic study for quality improvement of Korean soybean paste and soybean sauce, we investigated on microflora of soybean paste and soybean sauce fermentation. Major Microorganisms were isolated from the sample pastes and sauces, and identified systematically. Selected Microorganisms were identified by MIS whole cell fatty acid analysis by gas chromatography. Identification results showed that Bacillus licheniformis, bacillus pumilis and Bacillus subtilis were dominant in soybean paste and Staphylococcus vitulus, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus pumilus, and Lactobacillus fermentum were dominant in soybean sauce. It seemed that these Microorganisms played an important role in soybean paste and soybean sauce fermentation and could be used for the further studies such as protease and amylase activities.

Soybean meal (SBM), a commonly used protein source for animal feed, contains anti-nutritional factors such as trypsin inhibitor, phytate, oligosaccharides among others, which limit its utilization. Microbial fermentation using bacteria or fungi has the capability to improve nutritional value of SBM by altering the native composition. Both submerged and solid state fermentation processes can be used for this purpose. Bacterial and fungal fermentations result in degradation of various anti-nutritional factors, an increase in amount of small-sized peptides and improved content of both essential and non-essential amino acids. However, the resulting fermented products vary in levels of nutritional components as the two species used for fermentation differ in their metabolic activities. Compared to SBM, feeding non-ruminants with fermented SBM has several beneficial effects including increased average daily gain, improved growth performance, better protein digestibility, decreased immunological reactivity and undesirable morphological changes like absence of granulated pinocytotic vacuoles.

This study was performed to investigate the antioxidant and antidiabetic activities of soybean fermented with Monascus. Also, the changes in the content of isoflavones and Monacolin K were analyzed. It was observed that the glycoside forms of daidzin and genistin were converted to aglycones of daidzein and genistein within 6 days of fermentation. The product can be used as a health functional material that can increase bioavailability. Monacolin K production was found to increase significantly with the progression of fermentation with an increase to 0.04 mg/g and 0.44 mg/g on 6 and 12 days of fermentation, respectively. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of soybean fermented with Monascus was significantly increased compared to that of soybean. The protein expression of inflammation-related genes (TNF-α, IL-6, and COX-2) in the MIN cell was significantly increased in the presence of alloxan compared to the normal group, but a decrease was observed in the presence of soybean fermented with Monascus. In conclusion, soybean fermented with Monascus showed the highest antidiabetic and antioxidant effects. These results suggest that soybean fermented with Monascus has the potential to be used as a beneficial ingredient with antidiabetic and antioxidant effects.
