Changes of protein and amino acids composition in improvement-Meju inoculated with Aspergillus oryzae were emamined at various time intervals over 6-day test period. To investigate those changes systematically, Disc gel electrophoresis, gel fiteration and amino acid analyzer were used. Following results were obtained; 1. Nitrogen solubility of the soybean meal in $Na_{2}SO_{4},\;MgSO_{4},\;Na_{2}CO_{3},\;NaCl\;and\;Na_{2}HPO_{4}$ solutions of various concetrations were determinated. The salt soluble protein of soybean meal was highly dispersible on 0.4M $Na_{2}SO_{4}$ solution and the extractability of protein was 33%. 2. From the quantitative fractionation of soybean proteins, albumin content (46.0%) was highest followed by globulin (33.9%), glutelin (19.5%) and prolamin (2.4%). During Meju incubation period, albumin and prolamin increased gradually but glutelin decreased. Globulin content was not changed substantially. 3. When albumin was fractionated by Sephadex G-200, the following results were obtained. Soybean albumin showed fraction which was reduced to 3 fraction at 0-day of incubation. The number of fraction, however increased to 8 after 6-day of incubation. 4. Amino acids of albumin in soybean and Meju appeared to be 17 kinds. Glutamic acid and aspartic acid were the highest. In amino acid composition of cooked soybean albumin, arginine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid and glycine remained higher than those of Meju throughout incubation period. 5. The major fraction of albumins from soybean and Meju fractionated by Sephadex G-200 showed 17 kinds of amino acid. Aspartic acid and glutamic acid were the highest. During Meju incubation period, the change of amino acid composition was investigated; threonine, serine, lysine, histidine, alanine, isoleucine, leucine, phenylalanine and $NH_3$ was increased gradually, the others decreased. 6. According to the electrophoretic pattern, soybean protein showed 13 bands which decreased to 3-after cooking. During incubation, those bands increased gradually to 10 bands after 6-days.

To clarify the formation of secondary amines in Korean native soysauce, periodical changes during 90 days aging were investigated. The results were as follows; 1. The average content of secondary amines in Korean native meju was 20.86 ppm $(7.25{\sim}50.76{\;}ppm)$ as dimethylamine(DMA), higher than modified meju(artifcial lyinoculated Aspergillus oryzae). Especially, the high amount was detected in severely deteriorated meju. 2. Cooked soybean, wheat, barley and rice contained 1.28, 0.57, 0.34 and 0.35 ppm of secondary amines, respectively. The more amounts were detected in koji, the respective contents in soybean, wheat, barley and rice koji were 2.63, 1.09, 0.64 and 0.54 ppm. 3. The new formation of secondary amines was not recognized in normally fermented Korean native soysauce during 90 days aging. 4. Secondary amines were formed below 18% sodium chloride under dark condition during soysauce aging, but not formed at 14% under sun-light condition. 5. The modified soysauce, prepared with modified meju, did not contain the newly synthesized secondary amines at 14% sodium chloride under sun-light condition during 30 days aging. 6, Drying of meju and boiling of soysauce did not affect the evaporation of secondary amines.

Purpose: This study was conducted to verify the effects of increases in consuming Korean food in patients who underwent cardiovascular disease (CVD) surgery based on a Korean diet control education program and to investigate the effects of Korean diet control nutrition education on risk factors of CVD, changes in amounts of medication, and nutritional intakes. Methods: The subjects consisted of 15 patients who have undergone CVD surgery within three years and continuously taken cardiovascular drugs. The Korean traditional diet (KTD) emphasizes intake of vegetables and fermented foods to lower saturated fat and cholesterol intake. We applied a KTD education program that included a modified DASH (The dietary approaches to stop hypertension) diet for cardiovascular disease patients. Korean diet control education was then applied to the patients for 12 weeks to evaluate the risk factors of CVD and the state of nutritional intakes. Results: The Korean diet control compliance score increased significantly (p < 0.001) as Korean diet control education was implemented. Additionally, the obesity indexes, waist circumference (WC) (p = 0.002) and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) decreased significantly (p < 0.001) after subjects received the education. Moreover, the glycemic control index, HbA1c, was significantly decreased (p < 0.05) from $7.3{\pm}1.0%$ before the education to $7.0{\pm}1.1%$ after the education. Changes in the amounts of Korean diet intake consisted of significant increases in cooked rice with whole grains, narmuls (vegetables either raw or cooked), kimchi, and traditional fermented foods following the education. Moreover, the nutritional intake after the education showed significant decreases (p < 0.05) in animal protein, animal lipids, and cholesterol. However, the intakes of Na, K, dietary fiber, vitamin A, vitamin $B_6$, vitamin C, and folic acid were significantly increased. Conclusion: The active encouragement of consuming Korean food and the intervention of implementing diet control education positively affected nutritional intake, the obesity index and glycemic control of patients who have undergone CVD surgery.

The chemical media composition and culture conditions were optimized for mycelial growth of Phellinus igniarius 26005. The method of solid-state fermentation, cultivation of basidiomycetal strains in various grains, was developed. Media composition for optimal growth of Phellinus igniarius 26005 was made of 7.0% malt extract, 0.3% bacto soytone, and 0.2% yeast extract. The optimum condition for mycelial growth was $28^{\circ}C$ and pH 7.0, respectively. For the mass cultivation of mycelia, the hydrated grains with cold water, were put into the plastic bottle. The mycelial growth rate in the bottled grains was high in the early stage with inoculation of homogenized mycelium. The activity of mycelium was maintained by adding sterilized water in the middle of cultivation. The glucosamine content which determins the mycelial growth rate in solid material was in the order of job's tears>barley>black soybean>wheat>malt soybean>brown rice>sorghum>glutinous rice.

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.

Daenjang, a traditional Korean fermented soybean paste, was prepared by the fermentation with Aspergillus oryzae for 3 days, and then ripened with salt addition(13%) for 45 days. The changes of composition and fraction pattern of lipid in Daenjang during ripening period were studied. The total lipid of initial Daenjang(0 day ripening) consisted of 91.8% of neutral lipid, 7.1% of phospholipid and 1.1% of glycolipid, and minor changes of the composition were observed during the ripening. The contents of free fatty acid and esterified sterol in nonpolar lipid fraction were increased, however, no significant changes in polar lipid fraction were observed from the Daenjang in ripening. Linoleic, oleic, palmitic acids were the major fatty acyl moiety in the fractions of total lipid, triglyceride and free fatty acid, respectively. No significant changes in fatty acid compositions of the fractions were noted, although the saturated fatty acyl moiety of the fraction were increased a little during Daenjang ripening.

This study was carried out to investigate changes of protease and amylase activities and nitrogen content in Chungkookjang prepared by Bacillus subtilis S8 and different soybean. Amino-type nitrogen and ammonia-type nitrogen contents increased with an increase in fermentation time and was the highest in black soybean Chungkookjang. The number of viable cells increased up to 24 h of fermentation at all temperatures tested; especially, their levels were the highest at $40^{\circ}C$. Protease activity was the highest in black soybean Chungkookjang. ${\alpha}$-amylase activity increased significantly up to 6 h of fermentation at $30^{\circ}C$ and $40^{\circ}C$ and then maintained constantly. It also increased up to 30-36 h of fermentation at $45^{\circ}C$ and then decreased. ${\beta}$-amylase activity was the highest in black soybean Chungkookjang at $35^{\circ}C$ and $40^{\circ}C$ and in yellow soybean Chungkookjang at $45^{\circ}C$. Production pattern of reducing sugar was similar to that of ${\beta}$-amylase. Amino-type nitrogen, viable cell number and reducing sugar content and ${\beta}$-amylase activity was the highest in Chungkookjang fermented at $40^{\circ}C$. Considering amino-type and ammonia-type nitrogen contents, Chungkookjang fermentation using yellow soybean was favorable. However, the fermentation using black soybean was favorable, considering protease and amylase activities and reducing sugar content.

Pueraria lobata, a medicinally important leguminous plant produces various isoflavones including puerarin, daidzin and daidzein which are metabolized to equol via dihydrodaidzein and tetrahydrodaidzein by the bacterial fermentation of natural isoflavone sources in human intestines. In this study, we described callus proliferation and isoflavone production in callus of Korean wild arrowroot and dihydrodaidzein biosynthesis in callus extract fermented with Pediococcus pentosaceus. Proliferation was the best at callus cultured in the medium containing 1.0 mg/L TDZ and 1.0 mg/L NAA at light condition for 12 days. Puerarin was significantly more produced at callus cultured in the medium containing 2.0 mg/L kinetin and 1.0 mg/L NAA at dark condition for 16 days, but daidzin and daidzein were not significant. Callus extract was successfully fermented with P. pentosaceus and dihydrodaidzein, which is one of equol precursors formed by biotransformation, was confirmed to be produced. These results will facilitate mass production of callus and isoflavones as equol precursors from Korean wild arrowroot and can be applied for the production of equol by biotransformation in vitro.

We developed hasuo jeungpyun with added polygonum multiflorum Thunb powder to increase the functional value and flavor of traditional jeungpyun. Hasuo jeungpyun containing 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8% polygonum multiflorum Thunb powder was prepared and the moisture contents, pH, color, texture and sensory analysis of the samples were measured. With increasing polygonum multiflorum Thunb powder content, the moisture content of hasuo jeungpyun decreased, and pH increased significantly. Hasuo jeungpyun prepared with 2-4% polygonum multiflorum Thunb powder displayed significantly higher swelling power. As the level of polygonum multiflorum Thunb powder increased, the L-value decreased, whereas the a- and, b-values increased. A textural profile analysis showed that the hardness increased but cohesiveness decreased with increasing polygonum multiflorum Thunb powder content. A sensory evaluation showed the highest value for air cell uniformity, flavor, and overall acceptability of 4% hasuo jeungpyun, which suggests hasuo jeungpyun with improved sensory characteristics. In the analysis of the correlation between sensory characteristics and mechanical properties of hasuo jeungpyun, hardness and brittleness were negatively correlated with after swallow, appearance, flavor, texture, taste, and overall acceptability.
