To investigate the antioxidative effect of Korean soybeans, four kinds of soybeans(yellow, brown, black and small black bean) were selected and determined their antioxidative activities in vitro by POV method. Dark colored soybeans such as brown, black and small black soybean showed stronger antioxidative effect than pale yellow one. When compared the antioxidative effect of these soybeans in hull and dehulled condition, in dehulled soybeans, they showed the same antioxidative effect in each soybeans, but in soybean hull, dark colored soybeans showed stronger antioxidative effect than yellow soybean hull, which means the pigments of soybeans play important roles in their antioxidative activities. To separate the main components showing antioxidative effect in soybeans, these soybeans were extracted with hexane, methanol and water. The methanol extract showed the strongest antioxidative effect among them, which means the major antioxidative effect materials contained in methanol extract.

Eight crossbred barrows (four growing and four finishing pigs with average initial BW of 40 and 82 kg, respectively) were fitted with T-cannulas at the distal ileum and used in a 36 d metabolism experiment ($4{\times}4$ Latin squares) to determine the effects of roasting and extruding full-fat soybeans on nutrient utilization. Treatments were: 1) soybean meal; 2) roasted soybeans; 3) extruded soybeans; and 4) soybeans extruded with an extrusion enhancer (sodium sulfite). The control diet was corn starch-based with 0.90% lysine, 0.65% Ca and 0.55% P for the growing pigs and 0.75% lysine, 0.55% Ca and 0.45% P for the finishing pigs. For the growing pigs, apparent total tract digestibilities of DM (p<0.04) and GE (p<0.008) were greater for soybean meal than full-fat soy products. However, ileal digestibilities of DM, GE, N and most amino acids were, in general, greatest for extruded soybeans and lowest for roasted soybeans, with soybean meal intermediate. For finishing pigs, trends in digestibilities of nutrients were very similar to those for the growing pigs. Total tract digestibilities of DM (p<0.03) and GE (p<0.001) for soybean meal were greater than for the full-fat soy products and ileal digestibilities of DM, GE, N and most amino acids were greater for the extruded soybeans than for the roasted soybeans. In conclusion, nutrient digestibilities and availabilities of indispensable amino acids tended to be greatest in extruded soybeans, intermediate in soybean meal and lowest in roasted soybeans for growing and finishing pigs.

This study was performed to investigate the effect of types of microorganisms on the antioxidant activity of soybean yogurt by a single or mixed culture of Bacillus subtilis and Lactobacillus plantarum isolated from chunggukjang and kimchi. The fermented soybean milk by Bacillus subtilis exhibited the highest values of total polyphenol, DPPH radical scavenging activity, reducing power and nitrite scavenging activity compared to those of Lactobacillus plantarum or mixed culture of Bacillus subtilis/Lactobacillus plantarum. As the amount of tomato extract was added to the soybean milk, various antioxidant parameters, such as total polyphenol, DPPH radical scavenging activity, reducing power and nitrite scavenging activity, were linearly increased.

Soybean has been favored by many Thai people and it has been prepared by numerous different methods. Collected samples are as follows: Thua-nao paste from Chiangrai province, dried Thua-nao for Jatujak Market, Bangkok, 3 types of commercial soybean paste, soybean sauce and 2 types of fermented soybean curd cakes with other ingredients. Moisture contents of fresh and dried Thua-nao were 68.5 and $7.6\%$, respectively; therefore the shelf-life of dried Thua-nao can be extended to 1 year with proper packaging. The remainder of the soy foods had moisture contents of 55.4 to $64.4\%$. Fat contents of fresh and dried Thua-nao were 7.4 and $19.7\%$, respectively, whereas other samples contained less than $3\%$. Dried Thua-nao had the highest CHO (carbohydrates) content $(37.4\%);$ in contrast, soybean sauce contained only $4.5\%$. Calcium content was highest in dried Thua-nao followed by fresh Thua-nao; the other fermented soy foods had less than 44.7 mg/l00 g. Salt was added to samples other than Thua-nao resulting in high Na contents. Free and total daidzein contents of dried Thua-nao were 355 and 676 ug/g; similarly free and total genistein contents were 293 and $616.5\;\mug/g$, respectively.

The mashes of soybean paste were preparea using the conventional meju fermented naturally by wild microoganisms or the new types of meju fermented by pure cultures of Aspergillus oryzae, Bacillus natto and B. subtilis to elucidate changes during the aging period. The results obtained are as follows ; The soybean paste made with conventional meiu and Asp. oryzae meju showed higher content of amino nitrogen than those of B, natto and B. subtilis meju. Soybean paste made with conventional meju contained a little more content of total and reducing sugars than other soybean pastes. ph during aging period was higher than 5.0 for the Asp. oryzae paste while less than 4.5 for B. subtilis paste. Aspartic acid. threonine, serine, glutamic acid, glycine, alanine, cystine, valine, methionne, leucine and histidine for Asp. oryzae paste ; tyrosine, arginine and proline for conventional meju paste; and isoleucine and phenylalanine for B. subtilis paste were found to be peak amount 90 days after the preparation. The content of total free amino acid was high in the order of Asp. oryzae paste, conventional paste, B. natto paste and B. subtilis paste.

Inhibition of nodule formation and nitrogen fixation by soil nitrogen, primarily nitrate, is well known in legume plants. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of ${NO_3}^-$ on the nodulation, nitrogenase activity, and growth of supernodulating soybean mutant and its wild type. A greenhouse study was conducted to compare two of supernodulating mutants, 'SS2-2' and 'nts 382', with the normal nodulating cultivar 'Sinpaldalkong 2' when grown in a 1-l styroform cup filled with sand, and fertilized with five levels of ${NO_3}^-$ (0, 2, 4, 8, and 12 mM). During the growth period, each plant was supplied two or three times a week with 50 mL of nutrient solution. Supernodulating soybean mutants, SS2-2 and nts 382, showed more nodules and nodule mass, and greater $C_2\;H_2$ activity than the wild type, Sinpaldalkong 2, regardless of the level of exogeneous nitrogen supply. On the other hand, total dry weight of SS2-2 mutant, which was smaller than Sinpaldalkong 2, did not respond to the various ${NO_3}^-$-N levels. This suggested that supernodulating SS2-2 mutant could maintain fairly high total dry weight at the low ${NO_3}^-$-N level, even in the absence of exogeneous ${NO_3}^-$-N in the nutrient solution. From the reduced top growth and high nitrogen fixing ability of supernodulating mutants, it was surmised that supernodulating mutant could potentially protect agricultural environments from pollution through the reduction in nitrogen fertilization as well as maintain fairly high yield with increasing planting density.

Tempeh-type fermented products were prepared from soybean, sorghum or mixture of soybean and sorghum(1 : 1) with the traditional Indonesian inoculum(LARU : mixed cultures of Rhizopus oligosporus). Fermentation increased protein and fiber contents in the soybean tempeh(ST) and tempeh of soybean-sorghum mixture(SSM). Fat content was slightly higher in sorghum tempeh(SGT) and SSM than that of control. During the fermentation, pH, soluble solid and soluble nitrogen were increased, while no significant change was found in the total solids. The trypsin inhibitor activity(TIA) and phytic acid content decreased after 32 hrs fermentation. It is suggested that Rhizopus oligosporus is capable of hydrolyzing trypsin inhibitor and phytic acid of the substrate. Thiamine and niacin contents increased in all samples as compared with the unfermented control. In amino acid level, there were some decreased in total amino acids after 32 hrs fermentation in three types of tempeh. While the concentrations of lysine, valine. tyrosine and alanine in ST, SGT and SSM were increased those of serine and glutamic acid were decreased in compare to the unfermented control.

The present study was carried out in normal and atherosclerotic New Zealand white(NZW) rabbits, to evaluate the effect of dietary supplementation with Korean pinenut oil, on the total fatty acid composition of red blood cell membranes. Erythrocyte fatty acids of chain lengths ranging fro 12 : 0 to 22 : 6$\omega$3 were identified. In study I, palmitic acid(16 : 0) was found to be the main erythrocyte membranes fatty acid, followed in turn by stearic(18 : 0), oleic(18 : 1), and linoleic acids(18 : 2$\omega$6). There was a large increase in the proportion of 20 : 4$\omega$6 in 10% pinenut oil group on days 40 and 80(compared with control), although the increase was not statistically significant. Most erythrocyte fatty acids were less affected by the types or levels of oils supplemented for periods fo 40 and 80days. In study II,at the end of the dietary treatment, the levels of 12 : 0, 14 : 0, 15 : 0 and 18 : 0 were significantly decreased in the 5% soybean oil/cholesterol group, whereas those of 12 : 0, 14 : 0 and 18 : 0 were significantly decreased, but that of 18 : 2$\omega$6 was significantly increased in the 10% soybean oil/cholesterol group, compared to the cholesterol group. No significant differences in fatty acid composition were seen between the pinenut oil/cholesterol group, whereas the 10% soybean oil/cholesterol group had significantly elevated 18 : 2$\omega$6, compared to the cholesterol group. The proportion of 18 : 4$\omega$6 was significantly raised in the 5% soybean oil/cholesterol and 5% pinenut oil/cholesterol group, and the content of 16 : 1$\omega$7 was significantly lowered in the 5% and 10% soybean/cholesterol groups, compared to the cholesterol group at 10 weeks supplementation. In studies I,II and III, the total proportions of saturated fatty acids were not significantly affected by the types of levels of oils supplemented throughout the study period.

Effects of ambient and elevated $\textrm{CO}_2$ and high temperature, and their interactions with zero and applied nitrogen supply (NN-no nitrogen and AN-applied nitrogen) were studied on soybean (Glycine max L.) in 2001. In this experiment, elevated $\textrm{CO}_2$ (650 $\mu\textrm{mol}.\textrm{mol}^{-1}$) and temperature (+$5^{\circ}$) increased total dry mass at final harvest by 125% and 119% and seed weight per plant by 57% and 105% for NN and AN plants, respectively. Although the influence of temperature and temperature x $\textrm{CO}_2$ were not significant, the influences of $\textrm{CO}_2$ concentration and temperature x $\textrm{CO}_2$ concentration were significant on total dry weight and seed weight, respectively. In particular, seed weight per plant was increased, while weight per one hundred seed weight was decreased with elevated $\textrm{CO}_2$ and temperature. The N supply increased biomass and seed weight per soybean plants. The results of this study suggest that the long-term adaptation of soybean growth at an elevated $\textrm{CO}_2$ concentration and high temperature might potentially result in a increase in dry matter production and yield.

In order to get information on tocopherol content and composition in fifty-six soybean germplasms were evaluated by HPLC. From the principle component analysis, the first three components accounted for 71.6% of the total variance of tocopherol content in the germplasms. Principal component 1 showed significant correlations with all the morphological markers except 100-seed weight. Soybean germplasms were divided into three groups by the first two principal components. The highest content of ${\alpha}$-tocopherol was $38.6{\mu}g$ per g in Tanner, while that of ${\gamma}$-tocopherol was $195.6{\mu}g$ in PI 91073. In case of ${\delta}$-tocopherol, IT 105622 showed the highest value as $29.8{\mu}g$. The contents of tocopherol were gradually increased from the late August to late September, which was 10 days before maturity, in Alchankong and PI 96322. The tocopherol content was higher in seeds from the plants sown early than those sown late. Total tocopherol contents of PI 96188, Geomjeongkong 2, and Suwon 183 grown in Gimje were higher than those grown in Iksan, but the difference was not observed in PI 96322. These results suggest that the contents of tocopherol in soybean were affected not only by the genotypes but also by environment.
