In this study, chunggukjang was made from soybeans and Bacillus natto. This chunggukjang was meant to be consumed as a margarine and butter substitute, to help lower trans-fatty acid (TFA) intake. A freeze-dried garlic product was used during fermentation to aid in removing the smell of the chunggukjang. Chunggukjang has a very low fluidity due to its high viscosity; therefore, we added 3%(w/w) soybean oil to improve the fluidity. We found that the TFA content of the garlic chunggukiang paste was no more than 0.02${\sim}$0.05%, which was low compared to the usual contents of margarine and butter. After 4 weeks of storage the TFA content was 0.03${\sim}$0.08%, and it remained within the limits of the permissible amount. The addition of soybean oil allowed this chunggukjang to be made with greater ease, and the freeze-dried garlic eliminated the negative inherent qualities of the chunggukjang. Therefore, this garlic chunggukjang paste could be considered reasonable for commercial production.

This experiment was carried out to obtain the fundamental data for development of digestibility and quality enhanced product of soy yogurt. Soy yogurt was processed from raw materials of soybean, defatted soybean and sprouted soybean which inoculated with Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum as a starter. Changes of chemical compositions, viable cell count and saccharides during processing were investigated including acceptibility of manufactured products. The results were summarized as follows; 1. Defatted soy milk ferment ed with Lactobacillus acidophilus was showed the greatest initial acid productivity and sprouted soy milk was showed the greatest growth of Loctobacillus acidophilus. 2. Acid production was accelerated when 2% glucose was used in soy milk. 3. Addition of reconstituted skim milk in soy milk and defatted roy milk increased acid production but was not showed the effect in the sprouted soy milk. 4. Sprouting soybean, the contents of raffinose and stachyose were decreased but those of glucose was increased. 5. When soy milk was fermented with Lactobacillus acidophilus. the contents of raffinose and stachyose were decreased. 6. As a result of panel test, sprouted soy yogurt which was produced by addition of reconstituted skim milk of 10% showed the greatest flavor and tastes.

The oligosaccharide metabolism in soymilk was investigated by mixed culture with Lactobacillus acidophilus and Saccharomyces uvarum. When Saccharomyces uvarum was cultured in soywhey, change of oligosaccharide could be shown apparently. However, Lactobacillus acidophilus could not utilize oligosaccharide in soywhey for growth and lactic acid production. During the fermentation of mixed culture with Lactobacillus acidophilus and Saccharomyces uvarum, Saccaharomyces uvarum was supposed to convert oligosaccharide to monosaccharide first and then Lactobacillus acidophilus to convert these produced monosaccharide to lactic acid.

The food quality of lupin seed, i.e. soaking, cooking, sprout growing and mold growing for fermentation, was investigated by using the seed of Lupinus angustifolius harvested in Western Australia. A method to produce lupin seed protein concentrate (LPC) was developed, and the wage of LPC in Korean food system was investigated. The water soaking rate of lupin seed was faster than that of soybean, but the cooking rate of lupin seed was much slower compared to soybean. The thermal softening time, $D_{100}$, was 345 min for lupin seed and 84 min for soybean. A two-phase solvent extraction system consisting of haxane-alcohol-water could effectively remove the residual bitter taste, lipid and yellow pigments of lupin seed flour, and the resulting LPC contained over 50% protein and had bland flavor and milky white color. Treatment of LPC with carbohydrate decomposing enzymes resulted in a product of more soluble and higher concentration of protein. Methods to produce lupin seed vegetable milk and lactic beverages from LPC products were discussed.

There has been a successful re-entry in the form of infant foods and as a product concept of "well-being" milk by feeding goat natural medicinal plants in high mountain lands and goats eating natural feeds. Typical composition of cow's milk and goat's milk are not significantly differ in major nutritional constituents. However, the noticeable differences between milks of the bovine and caprine species concern in the dimensions of the micelles, in casein composition, in size of the micelles and in the mineral charge of the micelle, but the ratio Ca/Pi in the micelle is very close for the two species The potential market in Korea could be expected to expand by keeping its freshness and nutritional benefits. The supply of goat milk products all year around is also an important to the consumers. In order to increase its market scale of goat milk, product manufacturers need extensive advertising promotion. Domestically, goat milk is currently manufactured at small scale dairy goat milk companies and consumed mainly in the form of fresh or fermented goat milk, while imported goat milk powder is used to produce infant goat milk formula by major dairy companies. Decreasing the unpleasant goaty flavour for the Korean consumers would be essential for the researchers who work for dairy science and technology.

1) Among five lactic acid bacteria examined, Str. thermophilus and Str. diacetilactis produced remarkably greater amount of acids in soybean milk than Str. lactis, Str. cremoris and L. bulgaricus. 2) Soybean milk and skimmed dry milk were combined in the ratio of 7 : 3 and were carried out in lactic acid fermentation for 24 hours at optimum temperature. The result indicated that the yield of precipitation and protein content of it were the most, the moisture content was the least and curd structure formed was considered too hard. 3) Based on these and other results, following procedure was used for manufacturing: soybean milk and skimmed dry milk were combined in the ratio of 7 : 3, heated at $121^{\circ}C$ for 20 min., cooled, added Str. thermophilus as lactic acid starter and incubated for 24 hours and $37{\pm}1^{\circ}C$. The curd was cooked, hooped, and pressed for 24 hours, to the surface of which, Penicillium caseicolum and sodium chloride were spread. During ripening of the curd at $15^{\circ}C$ and $85{\sim}90%$ RH for 21 days, Pen. caseicolum was highly developed after 7 days, pH was increased and proteolytie activity has reached to the peak point after 14 days. After 7 days of ripening total water soluble nitrogen, water soluble protein nitrogen and amino acids nitrogen were begun to increase. After 21 days of ripening total water soluble nitrogen, water soluble protein nitrogen and amino-N reached to 52%, 32% and 14% of total nitogen. In the soybean cheese, after 21 days of ripening, 17 or more kinds of amino acids were detected by two-dimentional paper chromatography. The product contained 63.2% of moisture, 17.5% of crude protein, 13.2% of crude fat, 2.8% of crude ash and 2.5% of sodium chloride.

Isoflavones of soy milk were mainly present as sugar conjugates such as genistin and daidzin which a glucosyl residue was attached to their aglycones, genistein and daidzein through ${\beta}-glycosidic$ bond, respectively. When soy milk containing sucrose as a sugar source was fermented with lactic acid bacteria, small amount of lactic acid $(0.16{\sim}0.29%)$ was produced but isoflavone conjugates were fully hydrolyzed. Supplementation of glucose or lactose was required for normal lactic acid production and affected the hydrolysis of isoflavone conjugates in some lactic acid bacteria. In the case of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. delbrueckii KCTC 1047, glycosidic bond of isoflavone was fully hydrolyzed regardless of glucose supplementation. But only $25{\sim}40%$ of daidzin and $65{\sim}80%$ of genistin was hydrolyzed when glucose was added into soy milk in the other lactic acid bacteria, Lactobacillus bulgaricus KCTC 3188, Lactobacillus casei KCTC 3109, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp lactis KCTC 1058, Lactobacillus lactis KCTC 2181. The hydrolyzing enzyme, ${\beta}-glucosidase$ produced by lactic acid bacteria except Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. delbrueckii KCTC 1047 could be considered as inducible in the fermentation of soy milk and its production was decreased when glucose was added.

In vitro experiments were conducted to determine the formation of fatty acid soaps (FAS) and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) disappearance rate. The substrates were a basal alfalfa hay containing 1) no oil, 2) 10% soybean oil, 3) 10% com oil, on a weight basis. All the substrates were incubated in triplicate for 0, 3, 6, 12, 24 and 48h in each experiment. After the incubation in the first experiment serum bottles (6oml) were analyzed for nonesterified, esterifed and fatty acid soaps contents. The serum bottles (120mI) from the second experiment were analyzed for pH, $NH_3-N$ and VFA concentration, and dry matter and NDF disappearance rate. pH decreased and the concentration of NH3-N increased significantly with longer incubation time (P<0.0001). The disappearance rates of dry matter and NDF significantly varied with feed, incubation time and oils (P<0.05). The molar concentration of total VFA increased and proportion of acetate significantly decreased with incubation time (P<0.0001), but the proportion of propionate significantly increased with longer incubation time (P<0.0001). Addition of oils to diet lowered the ratio of acetate:propionate (P<0.05). The esterified fatty acids (EFA) decreased with increasing incubation time (P<0.0001), and nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA) increased due to lipolysis of EFA, NEFA then reacted with cations to increase formation of FAS. The formation of FAS increased significantly at 48h of incubation time (P<0.0001). Especially, formation of stearic acid soaps was 27.5 and 32.5 folds with soybean oil and com oil supplements, respectively, by 48h of incubation time (P<0.0001). Alfalfa hay had higher cation contents, particularly Ca, which react with NEFA and FAS can be formed with longer incubation time. Saturated fatty acids had a higher proportion of FAS than did unsaturated fatty acids, suggesting that the former may react more extensively with cations. FAS contents increased with increasing chain length of the fatty acids. Since added vegetable oils fonned FAS, it might decrease negative effects on in vitro fermentation characteristics and NDF disappearance rate.

Extracts of soybeans fermented by Bacillus subtilis have a wide variety of functions, such as enhancing the body's immune function, fibrinolysis activity, anti-inflammation, anti-cancer, estrogen function and anti-infection effects. Recently, it was reported that the extracts of fermented beans exhibit strong anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties by suppressing the transcription of pro-inflammatory cytokine genes and induction of apoptosis, respectively. However, the mechanisms of their cytotoxicity in human gastric cancer cells are poorly understood. In the present study, we investigated the effects of ethyl alcohol extracts from fermented soybean (FS) and yellow agabean (FYA) on cell growth and apoptosis in AGS human gastric cancer cells. A treatment of FS and FYA inhibited the growth of AGS cells in a concentration-dependent manner by inducing apoptosis. FS- and FYA-induced apoptosis were associated with down-regulation of XIAP and cIAP-2, and up-regulation of pro-apoptotic Bax expression. Moreover, a treatment of FS and FYA not only triggered an increase in the levels of death receptor (DR)4, DR5, Fas and FasL, but also induced the activation of casepase-3, -8 and -9. These findings illustrate that FS and FYA may have a therapeutic potential in human gastric AGS cells and as a functional food.

This experiment were conducted to determine the formation of fatty acid soaps, digestibility and ruminal characteristics when vegetable oils were added. Three Corriedale${\times}$ 3 Latin square design. Sheep were fed one of three diets consisting of alfalfa hay and concentrates in a ratio of 70:30. Dietary treatments were 1) no oil, 2) 7% soybean oil and 3) 7% corn oil. At the end of each experimental period, rumen contents from each sheep were collected before feeding and at 1, 3, 6 and 9h after feeding. pH decreased up to the 3 hour after feeding and increased until the end of the collection(p<0.0001). Whereas the concentration of $NH_3$-N showed inverse changes to pH(p<0.0001). Type of oil did not affect the molar concentration of total VFA, acetate, propionate and butyrate. Acetic/propionic acid (A/P) ratio decreased with increasing time(P<0.0001), but the ratio at the end of the experiment became similar to the initial value. No effects were found in the digestibility of dry matter, total-N, crude fiber, ash, NFE, NDF and ADF. The formation of fatty acid soaps(FAS) increased after feeding than 1 hour before feeding(P<0.05) and increased in 7% oils than no oil addition(P<0.05). Long chain fatty acids formed mainly FAS. ince the formation of FAS might decrease negative effects on ruminal haracteristics and total tract digestibility.
