Proteins were isolated from four species of edible insects, Bombyx mori, B; Tenebrio molitor, T; Protaetia brevitarsis, P; and Gryllus bimaculatus, G, and their properties were analyzed and compared with those of whey proteins. The yield of the protein isolated from raw materials was 65.0-75.0%. Among three branched chain amino acids (BCAA), the amounts of valine in all the insects were similar to that of the whey protein. The BCAA content was 16.8 and 16.4% in G and T, respectively. The total polyphenolic content and the antioxidant activity of the insect proteins were significantly higher than those of the whey proteins. Based on the sensory test of the protein powder, the whey protein could be replaced by 25% of the isolated protein from the insects, but the taste and flavor needs to be improved. Although the BCAA content of insect proteins was lower than that of the whey protein (by 73-76%), their application could be useful because of high polyphenolic content and the anti-oxidative activity.

The study was performed to investigate the effects of whey protein-rich meal substitute added with vitamins, minerals, and lactobacillus powder probiotics on weight loss, body fat, and body composition in 24 female volunteers for 4 weeks. Whey protein-rich meal substitute was consumed with low-fat, high calcium milk (1% fat, 260 mg/200 mL) twice a day. Subjects submitted 3-day diet records and a life-style questionnaire before the study. During the study, subjects were required to turn in a diet record every day and consume the meal substitute formula in the metabolic ward at C university for 4 weeks. Anthropometric measurements were carried out weekly by Inbody 7.0. The dietary intake and anthropometric data were analyzed to compare changes before and after the study by paired t-test with SPSS version 23.0. The subjects were mostly early 20's and either overweight or obese and highly motivated to lose weight. Most of the subjects consumed three meals per day regularly and spent mostly 10~15 minutes for a meal. Their caloric intake was relatively low and decreased from 1,360 kcal at week 0 to 1,100 kcal after 4 weeks. However, total protein intake increased while carbohydrate and fat intakes decreased (p<0.05) after the trial. Nine vitamin intakes after the study improved compared to those before the study (p<0.05). After the study, subjects showed lower body weight (-1.8 kg), body fat (-0.94 kg), percent body fat (-0.86%), as well as waist circumference (-4.52 cm), hip circumference (-0.44 cm), waist hip ratio (-0.05), and triceps skinfold thickness (-2.39 mm) compared to those at week 0 (p<0.05). Muscle mass tended to be less compared to week 0, although there was no significant differences between weeks 0 and 4. In conclusion, diet trial with whey protein-rich meal substitute induced weight loss and positively changed body fat parameters and body composition.

The aim of this study is to determine the some physicochemical (proximate composition, pH and $a_w$ values) and reconstitution (wettability, dispersibility and solubility index (SI)) properties of spray-dried bone broth powder (BBP) along with the effects of the addition of different carrier agents. Subsequently, the powdered products were stored to determine the storage stability (pH, lipid oxidation, color, browning index) for 3 mon at $-18^{\circ}C$. For this purpose, firstly marrow-containing bones (Os femur and Os humerus) have been boiled to get the bone broth. Three different emulsions were respectively prepared (1) 20% maltodextrin (MD) added BBP, (2) 20% whey powder isolate (WPI) added BBP and (3) 10% MD and 10% WPI added BBP and the emulsions were dried using a spray-dryer with $185^{\circ}C$ inlet and $95^{\circ}C$ outlet temperature. The proximate composition and reconstitution properties of BBP were found statistically different (p<0.05) depending on the use of different carrier agents. MD added BBP showed uniform and smooth morphology. The color, browning index, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and pH values of BBP significantly changed (p<0.05) during storage. In conclusion, both the results of physicochemical and storage period analyses showed that the most suitable encapsulation material in the production of the bone broth powder is MD.

Calcium powder from whey (WCF) was added to enrich the calcium content of kimchi, and the mixing ratios of it to salted Chinese cabbage were 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5％. Quality characteristics of kimchi such as pH, titratable acidity, reducing sugar content and microbial loads were measured during fermentation at 10$^{\circ}C$. Kimchi samples with WCF showed a higher level in pH and titratable acidity than that of control during fermentation. Kimchi having higher WCF maintained a higher in pH and titratable acidity, and titratable acidity was above 1.0％ about 12 days in kimchi sample with 0.5％ WCF. Reducing sugar content was steadily decrease after 5 days, and control maintained a higher than others. Microbial load was similar until 10 days, but control was lower than kimchi samples with WCF. Based on the titratable acidity, kimchi with WCF had a limitation in shelf life.

The effects of adding green tea powder on the quality and storage characteristics of tofu were studied. As the addition of green tea powder increased, the moisture content of tofu was decreased but those of crude protein and the crude ash were increased. The addition of green tea powder increased the production of whey and consequently decreased the yield of tofu. At the beginning of storage, the pH of the tofu with green tea powder was increased, but decreased rapidly at the eighth day of storage. The pH of tofu-soaking solution was decreased during the storage period. The L and b values showed no significant changes but a value was increased during storage. Textural characteristics of tofu added with green tea powder also did not show significant changes during storage. Although the total plate counts and absorbances of soaking solution of tofu were increased during storage, the samples with 1.0% green tea powder had the lowest TPC (3.0$\times$10$\^$6/ CFU/ml) and the lowest absorbance (0.175) at the eighth day of storage.

Textural properties of tofu manufactured with micronized full-fat soyflour (MFS) were enhanced by the addition of soy protein isolate, whey protein concentrate, chitosan oligosaccharide and mushroom powder. The MFS solution (14.2% solid content) was converted to semi-solid tofu by a two-stage heat treatment with the addition of 4% coagulant mix. The MFS tofu was evaluated by a compression test as well as sensory evaluation. To produce the semi-solid gel (MFS tofu) with reasonably high strength and toughness, the MFS solution with 14.2% solid content and 7.0% protein had to be heat treated at 121$^{\circ}C$ for 3min. The relative toughness of MFS tofu was increased by the addition of SPI, showing a 144% increase. The toughness of MFS tofu prepared with the MFS/SPI mixture was greatly increased by the addition of WPC at the level of 0.7% and the water separation from MFS tofu was greatly reduced. Furthermore, the toughness and strength of MFS/SPI tofu was enhanced by the addition of 0.1% chitosan oligosaccharide and 0.2% mushroom powder. The sensory evaluation of the tofu fortified with SPI, chitosan oligosaccharide and mushroom powder was superior to that of MFS tofu, with a higher score for overall preference.

This study was conducted to examine the quality characteristics of tofu prepared with Lycii fructus powder(LFP) during storage for 15 days at $5{\pm}1^{\circ}C$. The moisture content, yield rate, tofu whey content and turbidity of soaking solutions of tofu prepared with LFP increased upon the addition of LFP. The pH of tofu prepared with LFP decreased while the acidity increased lightly; however, the acidity of the tofu did not differ significantly according to the level of added LFP. The L value of tofu decreased as the amount of LFP in the formulation increased, whereas the a and b values increased. The color value of tofu prepared with LFP did not depend upon the storage period. The hardness increased significantly with the level of LFP, but it did not differ significantly according to the storage period. The microbial count of tofu prepared with LFP was lower than that of control tofu during the storage period. In terms of overall preference, the preferred tofu contained 1.0% LFP tofu.

The aim of this study was to propose utilization of tofu whey concentrates separated by ultrafiltration (UF) for yogurt production. The curd yogurt was prepared from whole milk added with skim milk Powder in which UF powder was substituted 0$\%$, 6.25$\%$, 12.5$\%$ or 25$\%$ for skim milk powder. The quality characteristics of yogurt in terms of pH, titratable acidity, viscosity, color and viable cell counts were evaluated. There were no significant differences in pH and titratable acidity between control (yogurt added with only skim milk powder) and yogurt added with UF powder after 24 hr of fermentation at 37$^{\circ}C$. Apparent viscosity of yogurt added with UF powder was lower (2,623 $\∼$ 3,189 cps) than that of the control yogurt (3,196 cps). Lightness and redness value of yogurt added with UF powder were not significantly different from control yogurt, while yellowness value increased as the amount of UF powder increased. Addition of UF powder stimulated the growth of lactic acid bacteria. Gas chromatographic analysis detected acetaldehyde, diacetyl, and organic acids, and more volatile compounds were detected in yogurt added with UF powder. Sensory analysis showed that yogurt added with UF powder were evaluated as acceptable as control yogurt. Therefore, UF powder could be substituted for skim milk powder without depressing yogurt qualify.

Anthocyanins has a strong antioxidant capacity but exhibit poor stability in water. Therefore, stability of anthocyanin from purple potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) was encapsulated by the application of food polymers. Solid formulation of purple potato was prepared using whey protein, tapioca and lecithin by capillary rheometer at $80^{\circ}C$. The ratio of the polymer and potato powder was 2:8. Total phenolic compound, total flavonoid, total anthocyanin and antioxidant activity was investigated by the spectrophotometer. Result revealed that total phenolic compound (TP) ($5321{\mu}g/100g$), total flavonoid (TF) ($1352{\mu}g/100g$) total anthocyanin (TA) ($764{\mu}g/100g$) and free radical antioxidant activity (DPPH) (86%) was higher in 0.01 M acetic acid mediated lecithin based formulation compared to control (Potato powder) (TP: $1357{\mu}g/100g$; TF) ($634{\mu}g/100g$, TA) ($264{\mu}g/100g\;DPPH$) (64%). Lecithin is a strong emulsifier having capacity to extract bioactive compound and encapsulate extracted compound by nonpolar tail and negatively charged head. Therefore, it would be concluded that lecithin might be used as an encapsulating agent for the bioactive compound from purple potato.
