The absorption characteristics and their physical properties of hot air, vacuum and freeze dried soybean curd powder were investigated. Absorption conditions were at 5, 15, and 25 t with $0.11\~0.93$ water activities. Equilibrium moisture content and the monolayer moisture content determined by prediction models showed highest value in the freeze dried soybean curd powder due to porous structure. Absorption energy decreased with increasing water activity was not affected by drying method. In the comparisons of the isothermal absorption models, Oswin model generally was the best fit model for isothermal adsorption of soybean curd powder.

Physicochemical properties and storage stability of plant-based alternative meat prepared with low-fat soybean powder (LPAM) treated by supercritical-CO₂ and those of full-fat soybean powder (FPAM) were compared. Ash and crude protein contents were higher in LPAM than in FRAM. Water absorption capacity and oil absorption capacity were significantly higher in LPAM than in FPAM. Water binding capacity was higher in LPAM than in FPAM during a 20 days storage period at 5℃ and pH was significantly lower in LPAM than in FPAM after a 5~10 days storage period. Hardness, gumminess and chewiness significantly increased with the increase in the storage period, and the three were significantly higher in LPAM than in FPAM after 10 days and 20 days of storage. The acid value showed no remarkable difference according to the storage period in LPAM; however, it was significantly higher in FPAM than in LPAM after 20 days of storage. The peroxide value and TBA value were significantly increased according to the storage period, and were significantly lower iin LPAM than in FPAM during all the storage periods. Therefore, the use of low-fat soybean powder may be effective in improving oxidative stability during storage in the production of plant-based alternative meat.

It is reported that a fermented soybean food, Doenjang, has srong antimutagenic and cytotoxic effect on cancer cells. This study investigated the effect of Chungkookjang, another traditional popular Korean soybean fermented food, on growth of cancer cells: HL-60, SNU-638 and MCF-7, and also its in vivo antitumorigenic effect in DMBA-induced mammary tumor rat model. For the in vitro study, Chungkookjang and steamed soybeans were extracted with ethanol and sequentially fractioned with 5 kinds of solvents differing in grades of polarity such as hexane, dichloromethane, ethylacetate, butanol and water. Almost all Chungkookjang extracts significantly inhibited the growth of HL-60 (human leukemic cancer cell), SNU-638 (human gastric cancer cell) and MCF-7 (human breast cancer cell) when compared to steamed soybean extracts. Butanol fraction of Chungkookjang extract especially showed a remarkable inhibitory effect in all the three kinds of cancer cells. To induce a mammary gland tumor, DMBA (50 mg/BW) was administered to 50 day-old female rats and followed by Chungkookjang or steamed soybean supplemented diets. Freezedried Chungkookjang powder (20% of diet in wet weight) was added to AIN-93G based diet for the Chungkookjang group of rats. Likewise, steamed soybean powder containing equal protein content to that of Chungkookjang powder was supplemented to soybean group of rats. At 13 weeks later, the mammary tumor incidence, average tumor number and tumor weight a rat were lower in Chungkookjang group compared to the control or soybean group. In conclusion, Chungkookjang showed a strong inhibitory effect on cancer cell growth in vitro, as well as a more preventive effect against chemically induced mammary tumorigenesis in vivo, while steamed soybeans did not. Therefore, these results suggest that Chungkookjang acquire its anticancer activity through the fermentation process.

A study on the processing of soy curd powder with soybean milk and kril autolasate has been carried out to prolong tile self life and to improve the taste and colour of soy curd. The soy curd was manufactured by coagulation of the soybean milk prepared from soybean through a series of processes of soaking, grinding, heating at $500^{\circ}C$ for 5 minutes and filtration. Ten hours was reasonable as the soaking time of the soybean for the high yield of soybean milk. The use of $3\%$ $glucono-\delta-lactone$ to the weight of the raw soybean showed the best coagulation of the soybean milk at $90^{\circ}C$ in relation to the yield and content of crude protein of the soy curd. The soy curd powder prepared by spray drying of soyben milk could be coagulated at $90^{\circ}C$ by the addition of $glucono-\delta-lactone$ after suspending in water. The powder manufactured by spray drying of the mixture of soybean milk and drill autolasate could also be coagulated under the same conditions to produce the soft soy curd. Another powder prepared by spray drying of the mixture of soybean milk, krill autolysate and $glucono-\delta-lactone$ could be coagulated by standing at room temperature after 2 minutes boiling.

The purpose of this study was to develop Zingiber officinale Roscoe powder(ginger powder) sweet rice muffins. The process included substituting sweet rice flour for cake flour and adding ginger powder. The mixing conditions for the ginger powder sweet rice muffins were a control and three levels of ginger powder (A), whole egg (B), and soybean oil (C) using central composite design, and were optimized by response surface methodology. The optimization was analyzed with regard to physical, textural, and sensory properties. Among the sensory properties, variables that appeared to show significant values, such as appearance, flavor, softness and overall quality were used to identify optimums. The numerical and graphical methods used in this study determined that the optimum formulation for ginger powder sweet rice muffins was 8.39 g of ginger powder, 215.37 g of whole egg, and 54.40 g of soybean oil. Ginger increases appetite, enhances metabolism and reduces the speed of aging. These health advantages of ginger provide evidences that ginger powder sweet rice muffins are a good healthy snack, particularly for the elderly.

Chungkukjang and soybean powder were enzymatically hydrolyzed with 20, 100 and 500 mAU of 3 commercially available proteases (alcalase 2.4L, protamex and neutrase 0.8L) at $50^{\circ}C$ for 120 min. The degree of hydrolysis and antioxidant activities of hydrolysates were comparably evaluated. Alcalase and protamex yielded higher content of peptide compared to neutrase in both Chungkukjang and soybean powder hydrolyzed samples. Both Chungkukjang and soybean hydrolysates showed also greater increases of antioxidant activities compared to those prepared with neutrase. The rates of increment of DPPH, ABTS and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities were similar between Chungkukjang and soybean powder hydrolyzates. These results show that alcalase and protamex are not specific for Chungkukjang but enhance its antioxidant activity.

Soybean-urease induced carbonate precipitation (EICP), as an alternative to microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP), was employed for soil improvement. Meanwhile, soluble calcium produced from industrial waste carbide slag powder (CSP) via the acid dissolution method was used for the EICP process. The ratio of CSP to the acetic acid solution was optimized to obtain a desirable calcium concentration with an appropriate pH. The calcium solution was then used for the sand columns test, and the engineering properties of the EICP-treated sand, including unconfined compressive strength, permeability, and calcium carbonate content, were evaluated. Results showed that the properties of the biocemented sand using the CSP derived calcium solution were comparable to those using the reagent grade CaCl₂. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses revealed that spherical vaterite crystals were mainly formed when the CSP-derived calcium solution was used. In contrast, spherical calcite crystals were primarily formed as the reagent grade CaCl₂ was used. This study highlighted that it was effective and sustainable to use soluble calcium produced from CSP for the EICP process.

The purpose of this study was to develop the dietary enhancement program for rural elderly. The subjects consisted of 71 normal healthy elderly aged over 60 living in rural and senior citizen center. Daily supplementation of 20g soybean powder of 3 months revealed no statistically significant elevation in serum parameters of the elderly, but resulted in the increment in the number of the subject with normal range of serum parameters and the improvement in perceptions of health status by CMI score, even though the nutrients intake had constantly lowered. The nutrients intake of rural elderly was very low: energy intake was 59-68% of RDA, that of protein 47~59%, and clacium 21~60% only. Supplementation of 20 g soybean powder per day for 3 months, did not enhance nutrients intake of rural elderly. We can recommended that constant nutrients supplementation program as well as dietary enhancement program are needed to improve the quality of life of rural elderly.
