The compositions of tofus made with Baktae and Huktae were compared to those made with other respective types of soybeans. The lipid and protein contents of Baktae were 20.8% and 39.7%, while those of Huktae were 15.8% and 41.1%, respectively. In both soybean types, linoleic acid(18:2), oleic acid(18:1), and palmitic acid(16:0) accounted for more than 80% of the total fatty acids. The tofu made from Baktae was whiter than the tofu made from Huktae, as exhibited by a higher Hunter's L-value. The lipid content of the Baktae tofu(4.41%) was higher than that of the Huktae tofu(3.26%). The amino acid compositions of the Huktae and Baktae tofus were similar, with glutamic acid and aspartic acid being the most abundant amino acids in both tofus. However, the content of the limiting amino acid, methionine, increased 2.5-fold in the tofus as compared to the soybeans, on a per gram protein basis. Isoflavones were lost during tofu making as contents for the tofu were 20${\sim}$25% of those for the soybeans.

Since a 13% dietary protein level is generally accepted as a standard in evaluating net protein utilization values of protein sources in chicks, limiting amino acids a 13% protein basal diet containing 15% isolated soy-protein as the only source of dietary protein, were identified. Of such amino acids as methionine, lysine, threonine and tryptophan added to the basal diet singly or as a combination, methionine appeared as the only limiting amino acid for optimum growth of the chicks. When the requirement of total sulfur-containing acids (TSAA) was estimated as the point at which the dose-response curve intersected a line representing the plateau for maximum performance, the TSAA requirements for maximum growth and feed intake were 4.73% and 3.73% of dietary protein, respectively. The values, expressed in terms of TSAA intake, required for maximum weight gain, feed intake and gain/feed ratio were 167.1, 136.8 and 159.1 mg/bird/day, respectively.

This study was investigated to evaluate the feasibility of protein concentrate for human food from ginseng leaf. The protein concentrate was prepared from ginseng green leaf by treating with cold acetone , followed by protein extraction with 0.2% NaOH containing 0.5% 2-mercaptoethanol and 0.5% sodium dodecyl sulfate. Proximate composition of the ginseng leaf protein concentrate (LPC) showed that fat and ash was less than 1%, protein was about 75%, total sugar and total saponin was 5% and 1.2%, respectively. As compared to the provisional amino acid pattern reported by FAO/WHO, ginseng LPC was found to be poor in S-containing amino acids, which were the first limiting amino acid. The amino acid score and E/T ratio of ginseng LPC were 43.1 and 3.02, respectively. Digestibility of ginseng LPC by pepsin and trypsin was lower than that of milk casein.

The separation of inorganic salt from amino acid solution using was performed electrodialysis. In order to review the availability of electrodialysis using isoelectric point of amino acid as a bio-separation technique, electrodialysis stacks were designed using ion exchange membrane. Separation of NaCl from amino acid solution was performed in the condition similar to amino acid fermentation process. To obtain otimum conditions of separation, leakage of amino acid depending of pH and limiting current density were measured. On the basis of optimum condition, removal of NaCl and leakage of amino acid were investigated quantitatively in batch and continuous process, and current efficiencies were also obtained. As a result of batch experiment for 11 hours each amino acid solution, removal efficiencies of NaCl were in the ranges of 96.1~96.2%. Amino acid leakage rate of glycine, methionine, alanine were 2.5, 1.7, 2.0% respectively. Current efficiencies were in the ranges of 44.5~44.6%. As a result of continuous experiment in various flow rate of each amino acid solution, it took 120 ~ 150 min to reach to steady state. Removal efficiency of NaCl was increased as the flow rate was decreased, but current efficiency was decreased. At the steady states, there were no leakage of amino acid.
