The effects of mixed beans on quality characteristics of traditional soybean paste (Doenjang) were investigated. The proximate composition of the soybean paste (Doenjang) met traditional food standard requirements. The range in salinity was 12.30~13.20%, and the salinity decreased with an increase in the amount of mixed beans. A significant difference in pH values occurred in all samples(p<0.05). The Hunter's 'L ($45.06{\pm}0.41$)' and 'b ($13.89{\pm}0.73$)' values of the TDM2 samples were higher than those of other samples. The highest amounts of malic acid of the organic acids are shown. The order of the amino acid content was aspartic acid > leucine > lysine, and that of free amino acid contents were proline > glutamic acid > arginine. The order of mineral content in the soybean pastes was Na > K > Ca > Mg, but levels of Co, Cu, and Zn were not detected. The traditional soybean paste (Doenjang) had an effective DPPH radical scavenging activity and higher phenolic content compared to those of the control sample. Overall acceptability score of the TDM2 (soybean 1 : mixed beans 1) was higher than that of the others. More research is needed to enhance the quality and functionality of traditional soybean paste.

In order to assess the possibility in utilizing the rice soybean paste(rice Doenjang) powder as food processing materials, the quality of pork cutlet sauce added with 0, 1, 3, 5, and 7%(w/w) of rice soybean paste powder was investigated. Viscosity of pork cutlet sauce ranged from 584 to 776 cP as soybean paste powder amounts increased. Lightness, redness and yellowness of pork cutlet sauce decreased with increasing rice soybean paste powder. Approximate composition of pork cutlet sauces containing rice soybean powder was $62.1\sim73.0%$ of moisture, $3.2\sim7.6%$ of crude protein $0.2\sim0.5%$ of crude fat $1.5\sim2.3%$ of crude fiber and $9.9\sim12.2%$ of crude ash. In sensory evaluation, the pork cutlet sauces added with 1% and 3% soybean paste powder showed more acceptable scores than market sauce.

Soybean varieties derived from Korea are classified into four groups on the basis of their food types such as soybeans for vegetable, sprout, sauce and paste and soybeans with colored seed coat. This study was carried out to know the differences in storage protein concentrations among these four groups. There were differences in storage protein concentrations among four groups. In 7S protein, the $\alpha$'-and $\alpha$-subunit concentrations did not vary among four groups, while a $\beta$-subunit concentration greatly varied. 7S protein concentration was the highest(40.6%) in soybean for sauce and paste and the lowest(37.7%) in soybean for vegetable, while 11S protein concentration was the highest (62.3%) in soybean for vegetable and the lowest (59.4%) in soybean for sauce and paste. In view of the fact that 11S protein has much higher sulfur containing amino acids than 7S protein, it was shown the soybeans for vegetable may have higher nutrition value than other groups.

Lupin seed was used to make Meju, the fermentation starter for Korean soybean sauce and paste in substitution for soybean and the fermentation characteristics were compared with those of soybean. Mejus were prepared by in-oculating Asp. oryzae on the cooked whole beans. The dried Mejus were used for making fermented bean sauce and paste by mixing with brine and subsequent ripening for 4 weeks. In general the protease activity and amylase activity-during ripening were higher in lupin seed Meju than those of soybean Meju. The increase in protease activity correlated to the increase in $\alpha$-amino nitrogen content of the fermented paste and sauce. The development of dark-brown color of the sauce during ripening faster with lupin seed Meju compared to soybean Meju. In sensory evaluation the flavor score of lupin seed sauce and paste was slightly lower than that of soybean products but the overall quality of fermented lupin seed sauce was acceptable.

In this study, a low-salt Lentinula edodes soybean paste (LSLESP) with improved palatability and storability relative to traditional Korean soybean paste was developed by utilizing low quality log cultivation of L. edodes. We also conducted quality characteristic analyses of spread jam made from low-salt L. edodes soybean paste (SJLLESP). The lowest salinity content and the highest L (brightness) value was found in LSLESP. According to proximate compositions analysis, crude protein, crude fat, and ash content were higher in commercial soybean paste than in LSLESP. Glucose, fructose, and maltose were the only free sugars detected in commercial soybean paste, whereas arabinose and fucose were additionally detected in LSLESP. Only two types of organic acid, were detected in common in commercially available soybean paste and LSLESP. Four types of organic acid, were detected in SJLLESP due to its added ingredients. The major free amino acids in commercially available soybean paste and LSLESP are histidine, glutamic acid, and arginine. Total amino acid, content was higher in LSLESP (54.81 mg%) than in commercial soybean paste (49.26 mg%). Total free amino acid, content in SJLLESP was 43.01 mg%. Ergosterol and β-glucan contents were highest in SJLLESP. The elevated ergosterol and β-glucan content in low-salt LSLESP relative to commercial soybean paste was significant. In conclusion, LSLESP and SJLLESP contain useful components from L. edodes, and offer the advantage of low salinity. LSLESP and SJLLESP could thus contribute to the development of health foods using L. edodes.

The bacterial diversity in Korean soybean-fermented foods was investigated using a PCR-based approach. 16S rRNA sequences were amplified and cloned from two different soybean-fermented foods such as doenjang (soybean paste), and ganjang (soybean sauce). Staphylococcus equorum (60.6%), Tetragenococcus halophila (21.2%), Leuconostoc mesenteroides (9.1%), Lactobacillus sakei (6.1%), and Bacillus subtilis (3.0%) were detected among clones isolated from soybean paste samples and Halanaerobium sp. (37.5%), Halanaerobium fermentans (37.5%), T. halophila (12.5%), Staphylococcus sp. (6.3%), S. equorum (3.1%), and B. subtilis (3.1%) were detected among clones isolated from soybean sauce. Our approach revealed different bacterial distributions and diversity from those previously obtained using culture-dependent methods.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of black soybean paste(Daemacjang) with black soybean content and salt concentration. The total acidity increased as the pH decreased during fermentation period. The amino-type nitrogen content of all samples increased significantly during fermentation time. Total cell counts was not significantly different during fermentation, and mold counts decreased at 3 log cycles. The cell counts of lactic acid bacteria decreased approximately 2 to 3 log cycles in 10% salt concentration (treat B and C), and were not detected in treat A and D. Total polyphenol contents of treat A, B, and C were 42.77%, 52.99% and 52.95% during fermentation up to 70days, respectively, which was higher than D (39.86%). In a sensory evaluation, treat B showed the highest scores for overall acceptability.

In order to search for antithrombotic peptides from soybean paste, the inhibitory activity of water extract of soybean paste and its peptide fractions on ADP-induced aggregation of washed platelets was assayed. Soybean paste extract treated with ultrafiltration (M.W. cut off, 3,000 daltons) was found to have inhibitory activity of 90% at the dose of $96\;{\mu}g/ml$ by the method of turbidometric aggregometer. Soybean paste extract was fractionated to 19 fractions (No. B-18) by Dowex 50W X-2 ion exchange column chromatography and activity test was performed by the microplate method. All of the fractions had antithrombotic activity $(IC_{50},\;101,000\;{\mu}g/ml)$, and most fractions had higher activity than positive control, RGDS $(IC_{50}.\;205\;{\mu}g/ml)$. Especially, basic fractions No.16-18 showed higher activity than soybean paste extract $(IC_{50},\;30\;{\mu}g/ml)$. The fraction No.16 with the highest activity $(IC_{50},\;10\;{\mu}g/ml)$ was purified and analysed for amino acid composition. The results showed that histidine, arginine, and alanine were major residues in the peptide part of the fraction.
