Tofu-residue (biji) which was made on a laboratory scale from the three U.S. and three Korean soybean varieties contained approximately 57% dietary fiber, 20% protein, while the commercial residue contained 59% dietary fiber and 17% protein. The percent soluble fiber in total dietary fiber were 3% and 46% for residue and tofu, respectively. The tofu-residue was wet milled by blade grinding once or twice, followed by sieving and centrifugation of the liquid fraction. For twice-ground residue, the dietary fiber content increased from 58.70 to 80.6% in the sieved residue, with a fiber recovery of 90.4%. On the other hand, twice-ground centrifuged solids contained 46.8% protein, representing 42.4% of the total protein. Lipid levels in the sieved residue were much lower than in the original residue.

This study was undertaken to find out the effect of phytate on the protein digestibility of various soybean foods, including soy milk, bean curd, curd residue, cheongkukjang, soy sauce, and soy paste. The phytate content of soybean was 2.4%, which decreased to 0.2%, 0.7%, and 0.4% in soy milk, bean curd, and curd residue, respectively, and to 0.2% and 1.0% in soy sauce and soy paste, respectively. The phytate/protein ratio was not correlated with protein digestibility by pepsin whereas the ratio was highly correlated with pancreatin digestibility (p<0.01, r= -0.73). According to SDS-PAGE for the soluble protein fractions, soaked bean showed an alteration in soluble components and bean curd residue exihibited newer low molecular weight bands. Fermented soy products showed no protein band, likely due to degradation.

Cooked soybean, soybean curd, soymilk residue and fermented soybean Meju products were prepared in the laboratory and the protein supplementary effect of these foods to the rice diet was determined by the rat feeding experiments. The soybean products providing 20% of the dietary protein were added to steamed rice and the protein digestibility (TD), Biological Value(BV), NPU, PER and Partial Carcass Nitrogen Value of the diets were measured. The protein supplementary effect of soybean products indicated that the non-fermented products generally improved the protein quality of the rice diet, whereas the fermented products did not but reduced it in some cases. There was observed a possible antinutritional effect for the diet supplemented with Home-made Meju. This growth retarding effect of Home-made Meju disappeared during the subsequent ripening in the brine for 6 months.

눈개승마 (Aruncus dioicus)는 장미과(Rosaceae) 눈개승마속(Aruncus)에 속하는 다년생 초본식물로 울릉도에서 자생하는 잎줄기 채소이다. 독특한 향기가 특징이며, 인삼맛, 두릅맛, 고기맛이 나는 산채로 세가지 맛이 난다고 하여 예로부터 삼나물로도 불러왔다. 눈개승마에는 caffeic acid, 1-O-Caffeoyl-β-D-glucopyranose 등의 항산화 성분이 다량 함유되어 있으며, 전초는 해독, 편도선염에 효과가 있어 약용으로 쓰이고 어린순은 탄수화물과 무기물 함량이 풍부하다. 비지는 대두를 이용하여 두부를 제조하는 과정에서 발생되는 것으로서 대두로부터 수용성 단백질이 추출되었지만 나머지 약 23%의 단백질, 57%의 식이섬유와 이소플라본 등의 유용한 성분을 다량 포함하고 있다. 또한 비지의 단백질은 다른 식품에는 부족한 황 함유 아미노산과 리신의 함량이 비교적 많고, 두부에 거의 없는 식이섬유가 다량 함유된 고 식이섬유 소재이다. 그리하여, 이러한 콩비지를 고부가가치 식품 소재로 활용하기 위해 건조 미세분말 비지를 제조하고, 이를 산채와의 혼합 가공을 통한 기능증진 효과를 연구하였다. 일반적으로 산채는 쓴맛 제거와 보관성 증진을 위해 데침공정을 주로 하나 산채를 물에 데칠 경우 산채의 유용성분이 대부분 손실된다. 눈개승마의 경우 유용성분이 17.25%, 그 중 폴리페놀 성분이 약 90% 손실된다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 데침공정 대신 찜공정을 이용하여 산채의 유용성분을 보존하고 콩비지를 첨가하여 산채 유용성분의 생이용성 증진 효과를 연구하였다. 눈개승마를 콩비지와 혼합하여 고온고압 가공함으로써 산채의 쓴맛을 줄이고 보관성을 높이는 동시에 눈개승마 폴리페놀의 단량체화를 통해 눈개승마 단독가공에 비하여, 단량체 비율이 약 100~200배 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 콩비지의 고부가가치 소재로의 가능성을 확인하였을 뿐만 아니라 산채의 다이어트·건강기능식품 소재로의 산업화에도 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Acid and alkali pretreatments were applied to tofu processing waste (TPW) to increase the solubility of ingredients in TPW. Pretreatment at 1.0% of HCl and 2.5% of NaOH condition resulted in the increase of SCOD concentration from 3.2 g COD/L to 27 g COD/L and 33 g COD/L, respectively. The acid and alkali-pretreated TPW was studied for its fermentative $H_2$ production capacity in batch mode using a thermophillic mixed culture. Alkali pretreatment on presence of 2.5% NaOH exhibited more soluble portion released compared to acid pretreatment using HCl, however the $H_2$ production from acid pretreated TPW was better than alkali-pretreated TPW probably due to the sodium inhibition on microbial activity. In addition, sewage sludge was externally added to the acid-pretreated (1.0% HCl) TPW by 20% (on volume basis). Average H2 production rate was increased from 31 to 78 ml/L-broth/hr, and it was attributed to the high buffer capacity and abundant nutrients especially divalent cation in sewage sludge.

This study aimed to estimate the effects of replacing Mushroom By-Product (MBP) with Tofu By-Product (TBP) on the chemical composition, microbes, and rumen fermentation indices of Fermented Diets (FDs). The basal diet was formulated using MBP, TBP, rice bran, molasses, and inoculants. The MBP in the basal diet was replaced with TBP at 0, 5, and 10% on Dry Matter (DM) basis for the experimental diets. The experimental diets were fermented at $39^{\circ}C$ for 144 h. Chemical composition, pH, microbes, and rumen fermentation indices of the FDs were analyzed. With increasing TBP replacement, crude protein content of FDs increased (L, P < 0.001), whereas crude ash content decreased (L, P = 0.002). Lactic acid bacteria and Bacillus subtilis contents in the TBP-replaced FDs were higher than those in the control (P < 0.05), whereas pH level and mold count were lower (P < 0.05). With increasing TBP replacement, in vitro rumen digestibility of DM (L, P = 0.053) and neutral detergent fiber (L, P = 0.024) increased, wheres rumen pH changed (P = 0.026) quadratically. Rumen total volatile fatty acid (L, P = 0.001) and iso-butyrate contents (Q, P = 0.003) increased with increasing TBP replacement. In conclusion, this study indicates that the replacement of MBP with TBP could improve the quality of FD.

To compost the food garbage with the dry bean curd and sawdust as the bulking agents, the method of high-speed fermentation by the characteristic microorganisms group was applied. The results of experiments are summarized as follows ; 1. Korean food garbage, which is high in water content, is difficult to compost only by microorganism fermentation without the addition of bulking agents such as dry bean curd cake and sawdust. 2. Weight reduction rates are ranging from 35.6% to 64.5% and varying with the composition of food garbage. The less weight reduction rate is, the longer continuous-fermentation is. And the color of compost is changing sequentially as yellow -> brown -> black. 3. Comparing with the controlled microorganism group, the weight reduction rate and $H_2CO_3$ production rate in the characteristic microorganism group fermentation reactors are higher. And the fermentation rate is satisfactory when the characteristic microorganism group is added. 4. The value of fermented composting as fertilizer diminishes, and the contents of Total Nitrogen, $P_2O_5$, $K_2O$ increase on the condition that the fermentation continues. However, the organic contents and C/N ratio diminish as the fermentation continues. 5. The high-speed fermentation technology demonstractes the possibility of recycling as well as the reduction of composting time provided that it is applied as a pretreatment process for composting.

Changes in quality characteristics of Bijijang (fermented soybean curd residus) prepared at $35^{\circ}C\;and\;40^{\circ}C$ for 0, 12, 24, 36, and 48 hr were investigated. Acidity of Bijijang increased, whereas pH and Hunter's color values decreased during fermentation. Immediately after Bijijang preparation, ${\alpha}-and\;{\beta}-amylase$ activities were very low, ${\beta}-Amylase$ activity during fermentation increased rapidly, with those fermented at $40^{\circ}C$ higher than at $35^{\circ}C$. Neutral pretense activity was significantly higher than acidic pretense activity, and increased gradually after 12 hr. Change in total nitrogen content in Bijijang was insignificant, whereas contents of amino-type and water-soluble nitrogens increased significantly during fermentation. Major free amino acids of Bijijang were Arg, Pro, Glu, Thr, Ser, and Lys at initial fermenting stage, and, as fermentation progressed, contents of Cys, Met Glu, Ile, Leu, and Phe increased. Reducing sugar contents of Bijijang fermented at $40^{\circ}C$ were higher than those fermented at $35^{\circ}C$. Sucrose content decreased and glucose content increased. Glucoside (genistin and daidzin) contents decreased and aglycone (genistein and daidzein) contents increased during preparation of Biji and fermentation of Bijijang. Contents of free sugars and isoflavones were higher in Bijijang fermented at $40^{\circ}C$ than at $35^{\circ}C$. Based on these results, fermentation at $40^{\circ}C$ for 48 hr was determined to be optimum fermentation condition for Bijijang.
