  • In our study, lactic acid bacteria (LAB)-fermented whey solutions were applied in the soybean soaking process to minimize bacterial contamination and to enrich the biologically functional components of isoflavone and $\gamma$-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Among the 11 LAB tested, Bifidobacteria infantis and a mixed culture (Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacteria lactis, and Streptococcus thermophilus; ABT-3) displaying the greatest $\beta$-glucosidase activity were selected to produce improved biologically functional soybean preparations. In the soybean soaking processing (without water spraying), the LAB-cultured 10% whey solution was used to soak and to ferment the soybeans and the fermented soybeans were finally dried by heat-blowing at $55^{\circ}C$. The processing conditions used in this study demonstrated that the final soybean product had a reduced contamination by aerobic and coliform bacteria, compared to raw soybeans, likely due to the decrease in pH during LAB fermentation. The aglycone content of the isoflavone increased up to 44.6 mg per 100 g of dried soybean by the processing method, or approximately 8-9 times as much as their initial content. The GABA contents in the processed samples increased as the processing time of soaking-fermentation proceeded as well. The soybean sample that fermented by ABT-3 culture for 24 hr showed the greatest increase in GABA content (23.95 to 97.79 mg/100 g), probably as a result of the activity of glutamate decarboxylases (GAD) released from the soybean or produced by LAB during the soaking process.

  • In general, whey obtained from various cheese batches is being reused, so as to improve the texture and to increase the yield and the nutrient value of the various final milk-based products. In fact, re-usage of whey proteins, including whey cream, is a common and routine procedure. Unfortunately, most bacteriophages can survive heat treatments such as pasteurization. Hence, there is a high risk of an increase in the bacteriophage population during the cheese-making process. Whey samples contaminated with bacteriophages can cause serious problems in the cheese industry. In particular, the process of whey separation frequently leads to aerosol-borne bacteriophages and thus to a contaminated environment in the dairy production plant. In addition, whey proteins and whey cream reused in a cheese matrix can be infected by bacteriophages with thermal resistance. Therefore, to completely abolish the various risks of fermentation failure during re-usage of whey, a whey treatment that effectively decreases the bacteriophage population is urgently needed and indispensable. Hence, the purpose of this review is to introduce various newly developed methods and state-of-the-art technologies for removing bacteriophages from contaminated whey and whey products.

  • This study examined the quality characteristics of Jeungpyun prepared with different additions of nano-filtered (NF) tofu whey concentrates. The initial pH values of the Jeungpyun batters ranged from 5.64 to 5.78, and decreased to 4.77-4.98 after 4 hours of fermentation at $35^{\circ}C$. The volume and specific volume values of the control Jeungpyun were lower than those of Jeungpyun samples prepared with 1%, 2%, and 3% NF powder. The color of the Jeungpyun became increasingly greenish-yellow as the NF powder level increased. Hardness and brittleness decreased with increasing NF powder content, while cohesiveness and springiness were not significantly different. Sensory evaluations revealed that as the level of NF powder increased, takju smell and sourness increased, but no significant differences were observed for sweetness and moistness between the control and NF powder groups. In terms of overall acceptability, the results revealed that Jeungpyun can be prepared with up to 1% NF powder in place of rice powder and be deemed as acceptable as a control Jeungpyun product.

  • Lactobacillus helveticus was inoculated to the fermentation liquid containing skin milk powder(SMT) plus soymilk, SMP plus isolated soybean protein(ISP), SMP plus ISP plus whey powder(WP) to increase the nutritional and economic value of commercial soy yogurt. The yogurt fermented with soymilk and SMP showed the lower acid production than of SMP and had significant beany flavor in the product. The yogurt prepared with ISP and SMP showed the higher cell number and lower acid production than that of SMP. Also, the partial substitution of SMP with ISP over 6%(w/w) produced less acceptable product due to gel production. The yogurt prepared by the partial substitution of SMP with ISP, WP and SMP showed the higher cell number and lower acid production than that of SMP and not bring about gel formation unlike the case of ISP. Sensory properties of yogurt substituted SMP with ISP and WP(38:62 mixture) below 4% were not significantly different from that of SMP and the sample containing the mixture over 6% and 0.067% artificial flavor showed lower sensory score due to beany taste than that of SMP. But increase of yogurt flavor up to 0.1% resulted in significantly high score in organoleptic acceptability. The separation of water occured in yogurt prepared by the combined mixture of ISP, WP and SMP, and this problem could be resolved by addition of Na-alginate and PGA at the concentration of 0.1%(w/w).

  • Yogurt gels are a type of soft solid, and these networks are relatively dynamic systems that are prone to structural rearrangements. The physical properties of yogurt gels can be qualitatively explained using a model for casein interactions that emphasizes a balance between attractive (e.g., hydrophobic attractions, casein cross-links contributed by calcium phosphate nanoclusters and covalent disulfide cross-links between caseins and denatured whey proteins) and repulsive (e.g., electrostatic or charge repulsions, mostly negative at the start of fermentation) forces. Various methods are discussed to investigate the physical and structural attributes of yogurts. Various processing variables are discussed which influence the textural properties of yogurts, such as total solids content, heat treatment, and incubation temperatures. A better understanding of factors contributing to the physical and structural attributes may allow manufacturers to improve the quality of yogurt.

  • This study was conducted to evaluate the quality characteristics of yogurt containing 5.0%, 10.0%, and 20.0% rice-wine (RW), which was added during the preparation of yogurt. Changes in pH, total titratable acidity (TA), bacterial lactic acid, yeast population, viscosity, whey separable phenomenon, and cumulative gas production were monitored during the fermentation and storage of yogurt. The pH was decreased following all treatments, and TA and viscosity were gradually increased during fermentation. The pH of RW yogurt was lower than that of the control sample, and TA was higher than the control during fermentation. The viscosity of yogurt containing 5.0% and 10.0% RW yogurt was higher than that of the control sample at 0~6 h. Cumulative gas production and whey separable phenomenon increased as the amount of RW added increased during fermentation. Viscosity was higher in control yogurt than in RW yogurt during storage. The total acceptability, texture, odor, color, sweet taste, and yogurt taste were higher in the control than in all RW groups.

  • This study reports the use of different inducing agents (olive, soybean, and used frying oils) and culture mediums [synthetic medium (SM), whey protein, and corn steep liqueur (SL)] to optimize the production of lipase by Fusarium oxysporum. A relationship among the inoculum size, presence of a fat source, fungal growth, and lipase production was evident during the fermentation. The best results were achieved when the inoculum was grown in SM or SL and the fermentation was developed in SM with frying oil as the inducing agent. The maximum activity (about 15 U/mL) was obtained after a 72 hr cultivation.

  • Preheating conditions (low-, medium-, and high heat-) did not significantly affect the buffering capacity (BC) of skim milk powder (SMP), whereas the level of demineralization significantly affected the BC of whey powders (WP). Heat treatment ($85^{\circ}C$ for 30 min) of both SMP and WP (90% demineralized) mixtures (88:12, 76:24, 64:36 and 52:48; SMP:WP) resulted in a reduced BC, and the extent of this reduction increased with the proportion of WP increased in the samples. High-buffering milk prepared by the addition of phosphate salts (40 mM $NaH_2PO_4$ and 60 mM $Na_2HPO_4$) delayed the rate of pH decline during yoghurt fermentation. The high-buffering yoghurt showed a significantly higher water holding capacity (WHC) than that of control yoghurt (p<0.05), as well as a more uniform and interconnected microstructure with small pore sizes than those of control yoghurt. No significant differences were found between high-buffering and control yoghurt regarding the viable bacterial counts of starter. The manipulation BC can potentially improve the quality characteristics of yoghurts, such as WHC and texture.
