In this study, the characteristics of soybeans with different cultivation methods depending on their origins and the properties of tofu made from these soybeans were studied. The isoflavone content was higher in the general Korean soybeans compared to the organic American soybeans. There were no significant differences among the Chinese soybean samples, so the cultivar method was considered to have a greater effect on the isoflavone contents rather than the cultivation method. The protein contents were higher in the tofu made from the general Chinese soybeans and the organic Korean soybeans. Furthermore, the tofu made from the organic Chinese soybeans contained the least amount of proteins. Isoflavone contents were not significantly different among the samples. Texture profile analyses consisting of hardness, cohesiveness, adhesiveness, springiness, and gumminess were all shown to be higher in the organic tofu than in general tofu, with the exception of adhesiveness. In sensory evaluation, color and texture were significantly different according to the samples, and the differences were found to be affected more by the origin of soybeans rather than the cultivation methods. According to this study, the physicochemical properties of the soybeans and tofu seemed to be influenced by the cultivation region rather than the methods.

To investigate the antioxidative effect of Korean soybeans, four kinds of soybeans(yellow, brown, black and small black bean) were selected and determined their antioxidative activities in vitro by POV method. Dark colored soybeans such as brown, black and small black soybean showed stronger antioxidative effect than pale yellow one. When compared the antioxidative effect of these soybeans in hull and dehulled condition, in dehulled soybeans, they showed the same antioxidative effect in each soybeans, but in soybean hull, dark colored soybeans showed stronger antioxidative effect than yellow soybean hull, which means the pigments of soybeans play important roles in their antioxidative activities. To separate the main components showing antioxidative effect in soybeans, these soybeans were extracted with hexane, methanol and water. The methanol extract showed the strongest antioxidative effect among them, which means the major antioxidative effect materials contained in methanol extract.

Hwangkeum Kong was stored at 5$^{\circ}C$, $25^{\circ}C$ and 35$^{\circ}C$ for 8 months to investigate the changes of the suitability for Tofu processing. The properties of Tofu prepared with the soybeans stored at 5$^{\circ}C$ for 8 months showed no significant differences from the non-stored control soybeans. However, soybeans stored under high temperatures showed low yield, water holding capacity and Sag value of Tofu Compared with the soybeans stored at 5$^{\circ}C$ for 8 months, fracturability in the texture of Tofu significantly increased when the soybeans had been stored at $25^{\circ}C$ and 35$^{\circ}C$ for 8 months, while hardness, cohesiveness, adhesiveness, elasticity, gumminess and chewiness decreased. The color of Tofu changed from pale yellow to brown depending on high temperature and long-term of storage. The Tofu prepared with the soybeans stored under high temperatures was significantly different in sensory evaluations from the non-stored soybeans as well as from the soybeans stored at 5$^{\circ}C$ for 8 months in color(p<0.01), texture(p<0.05) and taste(p<0.05).

Blanching conditions for immatured soybeans were optimized by analyzing the effects of various time/temperature blanch treatment on the activities of peroxidase and lipoxygenase, the stability of vitamin C and color, and moisture content in immatured soybeans for the purpose of minimizing quality deterioration during frozen storage. Blanching at 96$^{\circ}C$ for 70 sec led to maximum inactivation of lipoxygenase in the immatured soybeans, while my blanching conditions tested in this study were not enough to inactivate peroxidase. Blanching at 82$^{\circ}C$ for 60 sec resulted in the highest amount of vitamin C remaining in the immatured soybeans after blanching. Hunter -a/b ratios of immatured soybeans blanched at 82$^{\circ}C$ for 60 sec and hue values (ΔE) of the immatured soybeans blanched at 76$^{\circ}C$ for 60 sec showed the closest values to those of fresh products. The changes in moisture content of immatures soybeans was not so significant after blanching. In conclusion, it was suggested that immatured soybeans be blanched at 96$^{\circ}C$ for 70 sec to minimize lipoxygenase activity and resulting quality deterioration, while blanching at 82$^{\circ}C$ for 60 sec was recommended to stabilize vitamin C and color.

The trend of consumption of vegetable soybeans is increasing because they are recognized as the clean vegetable. The works requiring the most intensive labor are threshing and seperation ones, and they form about 80% of total labour for vegetable soybeans production. It is necessary to develop the vegetable soybeans-thresher for the sake of cost down of vegetable soybeans production. The purpose of this study is to acquire the basic informations to design of the vegetable soybeans-thresher. We make the experimental system which control the speed of threshing cylinder and the teeth gap and investigate the detachment forces. The result are as follows ; The ratio of un-threshed soybeans-pod to stem after threshing work is decreasing as the threshing cylinder speed increases: 0.0% and 2.8% at 55m/s and 18m/s of threshing cylinder speed respectively. Also the ratio of un-threshed soybeans-pod to stem is shown as 2.0% below in the condition of 64~160mm of teeth gap and over 28m/s of threshing cylinder speed. The damaged pod ratio of detached soybeans after threshing work is decreasing as the threshing cylinder speed increases: 4.8% and 1.3% at 55m/s and 18m/s of threshing cylinder speed respectively. The minimum damaged pod ratio of detached soybeans are shown as 1.0%, 1.5% and 1.9% at 18m/s, 28m/s and 37m/s of threshing cylinder speed respectively. The average detachment forces of pods are shown as 1.5kg$_{f}$ for 3 grains, 1.2kg$_{f}$ for 2 grains and 0.8kg$_{f}$ for 1 grain respectively. The maximum detachment force of pod is shown as 2.7kg$_{f}$ for 3 grains. grains.

From the evaluation of physical properties such as springiness, gumminess, adhesiveness, chewiness and hardness by the texture analyzer, vegetable soybean lines with green seed-coat were best as compared with those with black, brown, mixed, and yellow seed-coats. A panel test evaluated on the basis of taste, sweetness, chewiness, and total scores also indicated that soybean lines with green seed-coat were the best. The total scores of panel test was decreased in the order of green > yellow> black> brown seed-coat colored soybean. The mean value of sucrose content obtained by HPLC analysis was highest in black seed-coat colored soybean, and followed by green, yellow, and brown soybeans. The highest sucrose content (8.22%) was observed in 180362, a soybean line with green seed-coat. The full-season type soybeans showed much higher sucrose content than summer types which are mainly cultivated on farmer's fields for vegetable purposes. The final 13 lines selected from 300 colored soybeans showed nearly the same panel scores as Miwongreen. However, these lines had a great deal of variation in sucrose content, and much higher readings in texture analysis than Miwongreen, especially in chewiness and hardness which were the most important properties in vegetable soybeans.

The purpose of this study was to compare the of ash and minerals contents in different types of soybeans (Baektae, Seoritae, Heuk Tae and Seomoktae) with different cooking methods. Raw, boiled and pan-fried soybean samples were prepared by the Rural Development Administration. Samples were digested by using a microwave and analyzed using ICP-OES and ICP-MS for determining the ash and minerals contents. Ash content in four raw soybeans ranged from 5.07 to 5.59 g/100g. There was no significant difference in the ash contents in raw and pan-fried soybeans (p>0.05). However, the ash content of boiled soybeans was 9 to 14% lower than that of raw soybeans (p<0.05). The minerals contents of Baektae and Seomoktae were high and the major minerals of various soybeans were K, P, Mg, and Ca, which accounted for ash 60.80-65.61%, 20.73-24.26%, 6.90-8.46% and 5.79-8.60%, respectively. The mineral contents of soybeans were significantly different depending on the type of cultivar (p<0.05), but the tendency was not constant. Because the process of soaking and boiling of soybeans made the soluble minerals elute, the ash and mineral contents were reduced. And process of pan-frying of soybeans make Because process of soaking and boiling of soybeans make soluble minerals elute (Ed- this section is very confused and seems to have 2 sentences combined: please check your intended meaning), the ash and mineral contents were reduced. As the soybeans are cooked by pan-frying, the water in the soybeans is evaporated and the mineral content is concentrated or kept constant. These results can serve as the basic data of mineral content during processing and cooking of soybeans.

It was determined whether the sandwich ELISA using specific anti-CP4 EPSPS polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies, developed in the previous study, could be applied to detect GM soybean or not. The soybeans (47 imported and 20 domestic soybeans) were analyzed by a sandwich ELISA. The results of imported soybeans were divided into two groups which were high contents $(39.1{\pm}13.5\;{\mu}g/g,\;n=33)$ and low contents of CP4 EPSPS $(2.6{\pm}1.2\;{\mu}g/g,\;n=14)$. The ratio of GM in imported soybeans was about 70.2%. One the other hand, the contents of CP4 EPSPS in domestic soybeans was very low $(0.9{\pm}0.5\;{\mu}g/g,\;n=20)$ which determined to be non-GM soybeans. In case of soybean sprouts, the contents of CP4 EPSPS in soybean sprouts were different between GM and non-GM soybean sprout. The CP4 EPSPS in cotyledon of GM soybeans sprout was higher than that in root hair. The contents of CP4 EPSPS in soybeans sprout of domestic soybeans were very low. Thus, it was possible to determine that the soybeans sprout was made of GM or non-GM soybeans. Also, PCR experiment showed that the sandwich ELISA was accurate to distinguish the soybeans to be GM or non-GM. These results showed the sandwich ELISA could determine the soybeans were GM or non-GM, rapidly and simply.

This study was conducted to observe the quality characteristics of cheonggukjang fermented with new small-seed soybeans ('Agakong') according to the degree of germination of the raw soybeans. The sprouting rate was $8.6{\pm}5.6%$ after 12 hr of germination, but at 24 hr it increased rapidly to $85.4{\pm}4.7%$. We confirmed that the total isoflavone content immediately after soaking was 273.9 mg%, which was at least 3 times greater than for common soybeans; content increased at the start of germination, and increased to 338.4 mg% by 24 hr of germination, but then decreased. The quantity of viscous substance of the cheonggukjang increased in proportion to the degree of germination of the raw soybeans. The levels of amino acids in the cheonggukjang made from non-germinated soybeans, and soybeans germinated 48 hr, were 12.45 and 10.06%, respectively. The isoflavone levels in the cheonggukjang were determined by the degree of germination of the raw soybeans. There were no significant differences between the odor, sweet taste, savory taste, bitter taste, and overall acceptability of the cheonggukjang with different germination times of 0 to 36 hr.
