Rheological properties of the dough added with milk proteins and gums was studied to investigate the possibilities as anti-staling agents. Also, physical properties of the resultant bread baked from the frozen dough after 8 weeks of storage at $-20^{\circ}C$ were examined. The 4 sets of their combinations of milk proteins and gums, $casein-{\kappa}-carrageenan$ (CK), casein-sodium alginate (CA), $whey-{\kappa}-carrageenan$ (WK), and whey-sodium alginate (WA), were added to dough to examine their possible anti-staling effects. Rheological properties of dough were evaluated, and physical properties of resultant bread baked from frozen dough after 8 weeks storage at $-20^{\circ}C$ were examined. Addition of all treatments increased gelatinization temperature and water absorption, and lowered miximum viscosities and extension of doughs, compared to the control. Doughs added with CA and WA showed longer development times than that of the control. Addition of WK and WA resulted in lowest dough extensions. Treated bread showed lower moisture content decrease during storage at $5^{\circ}C$ for 4 days. Breads baked with frozen doughs after 6 weeks storage at $-20^{\circ}C$ showed similar results. Although textural hardness of breads increased with storage at $5^{\circ}C$, CA- and WA-added breads were less affected, showing they effectively retarded staling of breads.

Curcuma longa L. (CL), a traditional medicinal plant, is well known as a functional food ingredient. The major component of CL is a curcumin of anthocyanin family that has multi-functions such as antimicrobial, anticancer, and antioxidant activity. In this study, fermented milk containing CL was prepared using a mixed strain culture (Bifidobacterium bifidus, Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus acidophilus), and its physicochemical properties were characterized. In addition, inflammatory cytokine-modulating effects of the fermented milk were also investigated. As regards the properties of fermented milk, the growth rate of lactic acid bacteria in fermented milk containing CL was found to be remarkably more rapid than control. During fermentation, caseins and whey proteins were observed to be partially hydrolyzed, and lactic acid and acetic acid were produced in larger amounts than in the control. The sensory score of fermented milk containing CL was lower than control, owing to its bitter taste and strong flavor. RAW 264.7 cells treated with CL fermented milk supernatant showed no cytotoxicity. Inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-${\alpha}$) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were significantly produced by fermented milk with CL, compared to control. The secretion of nitric oxide (NO) from RAW 264.7 cells significantly increased relative to the control. Results from the present study suggested that CL could be used as a natural immunomodulating ingredient for making yogurts, beverages, and other products.

The effects of various nutrients added to soy milk on the growth of Lactobacillus acidophilus were investigated. Soy milk was prepared from defatted soy flour and various nutrients such as sugars, growth stimulating agents, amino acid and milk by-products. The growth curve obtained from the experiment suggested that the log phase ended after 12hr. Glucose and fructose greatly enhanced the acid production by L. acidophilus. The optimum concentration of these two sugars in the media was approximately 3% each. Among the tested growth stimulating agents, yeast extract stimulated the acid production by L. acidophilus, and the optimum concentration of this additive was approximately 0.5%. L-methionine reduced the acid production by L. acidophilus. Whey powder and skim mills powder did not significantly stimulated the growth and acid production by L. acidophilus. Concentration of protein in soy milk did not affect the growth and acid production by L. acidophilus.

The aim of this study was to produce enzymatic hydrolysis of ${\alpha}$-LA, ${\beta}$-LG and BSA with alcalase for the possible application of hypoallergenic foods toward cow's milk allergenic infant. The molecular weights of most of the peptides in hydrolysates from ${\alpha}$-LA, ${\beta}$-LG and BSA by alcalase were below 3,000 dalton. Antigenesity of ${\alpha}$-LA, ${\beta}$-LG and BSA hydrolysates to rabbit anti-${\alpha}$-LA antiserum, ${\beta}$-LG antiserum and BSA antiserum were remarkably decreased by more than $10^{-3}$ at 20% inhibitionrate. Antigenesity of polyvalent antigenic peptide in ${\alpha}$-LA, ${\beta}$-LG and BSA hydrolysates to specific rabbit anti-${\alpha}$-LA antiserum, ${\beta}$-LG antiserum and BSA antiserum was determined by PCS test using guina-pig. Hydrolysates of ${\alpha}$-LA, ${\beta}$-LG and BSA with less than 3,000 dalton did not show polyvalent antigenic reaction against rabbit antiserum. Hydrolysates of ${\alpha}$-LA, ${\beta}$-LG and BSA could be a source for the manufacturing of hypoallergenic food.

Infant formula in nursing bottle, with inappropriate feeding habits, is major factor associated with the development of nursing caries. Although each infant formula has different carbohydrate and protein composition, studies comparing cariogenic potential of many Korean-branded infant formulas are deficient. In addition, it is on the point of being difficult to evaluate the cariogenecity of milk due to development of many infant formulas. In this study, to evaluate the cariogenic potential of many infant formulas, after oral rinse with six Korean-branded infant formulas(three milk based formulas, one soy based formula and two specific formulas for infants with allergy to milk protein and with lactose intolerance) for ten adult volunteers(eight males and two females), plaque pH change was measured with In vivo/In vitro combination technique and results were as follows. 1. All six different kinds of Korean-branded commercial infant formulas dropped the plaque pH significantly(p<0.05) and at an hour after rinse, plaque pH was not recovered in most of subjects. 2. Soy based infant formula and casein-hydrolyzated infant formula containing no casein dropped the plaque pH significantly more than milk based infant formula containing casein (p<0.05). 3. In the milk protein of infant formulas, casein had more effect on buffering the pH change of the infant formula than whey protein and casein-hydrolyzated infant formula had a reduced effect of casein. 4. In infant formulas with similar protein composition, infant formula containing sucrose dropped plaque pH more than infant formula containing lactose, but there was no significant difference (p>0.05).

The study was performed to investigate the effects of whey protein-rich meal substitute added with vitamins, minerals, and lactobacillus powder probiotics on weight loss, body fat, and body composition in 24 female volunteers for 4 weeks. Whey protein-rich meal substitute was consumed with low-fat, high calcium milk (1% fat, 260 mg/200 mL) twice a day. Subjects submitted 3-day diet records and a life-style questionnaire before the study. During the study, subjects were required to turn in a diet record every day and consume the meal substitute formula in the metabolic ward at C university for 4 weeks. Anthropometric measurements were carried out weekly by Inbody 7.0. The dietary intake and anthropometric data were analyzed to compare changes before and after the study by paired t-test with SPSS version 23.0. The subjects were mostly early 20's and either overweight or obese and highly motivated to lose weight. Most of the subjects consumed three meals per day regularly and spent mostly 10~15 minutes for a meal. Their caloric intake was relatively low and decreased from 1,360 kcal at week 0 to 1,100 kcal after 4 weeks. However, total protein intake increased while carbohydrate and fat intakes decreased (p<0.05) after the trial. Nine vitamin intakes after the study improved compared to those before the study (p<0.05). After the study, subjects showed lower body weight (-1.8 kg), body fat (-0.94 kg), percent body fat (-0.86%), as well as waist circumference (-4.52 cm), hip circumference (-0.44 cm), waist hip ratio (-0.05), and triceps skinfold thickness (-2.39 mm) compared to those at week 0 (p<0.05). Muscle mass tended to be less compared to week 0, although there was no significant differences between weeks 0 and 4. In conclusion, diet trial with whey protein-rich meal substitute induced weight loss and positively changed body fat parameters and body composition.

The aim of study was to scrutinize the physicochemical and protein profile of milk obtained from local Pakistani breeds of milch animals such as Nilli-Ravi buffalo, Sahiwal cow, Kajli sheep, Beetal goat and Brela camel. Physicochemical analysis unveiled maximum number of total solids and protein found in sheep and minimum in camel. Buffalo milk contains the highest level of fat (7.45%) while camel milk contains minimum (1.94%). Ash was found maximum in buffalo (0.81%) and sheep (0.80%) while minimum in cow's milk (0.71%). Casein and whey proteins were separated by subjecting milk to isoelectric pH and then analyzed through sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The results showed heterogeneity among these species. Different fractions including α_S1, α_S2, κ-casein, β-casein and β-lactoglobulen (β-Lg) were identified and quantitatively compared in all milk samples. Additionally, this electrophoretic method after examining the number and strength of different protein bands (α_S1, α_S2, β-CN, α-LAC, BSA, and β-Lg, etc.), was helpful to understand the properties of milk for different processing purposes and could be successfully applied in dairy industry. Results revealed that camel milk was best suitable for producing allergen free milk protein products. Furthermore, based on the variability of milk proteins, it is suggested to clarify the phylogenetic relationships between different cattle breeds and to gather the necessary data to preserve the genetic fund and biodiversity of the local breeds. Thus, the study of milk protein from different breed and species has a wide range of scope in producing diverse protein based dairy products like cheese.

Gel-type yogurt was prepared from egg white powder (3%, w/v), glucose (2%, w/v) and four kinds of milk products (4%, w/v). The effects of milk product on acid production and growth of Lactobacillus were studied. The effects of milk product on sensory property and volatile aroma compounds were also studied. Acid production by L. acidophilus at 24 hr in samples containing milk product was significantly lower than that by L. acidophilus in milk (p<0.05). The sample containing casein produced less acid than the other samples. Number of viable cells of L. acidophilus at 24 hr in milk and samples containing milk product was $2.0{\times}10^{9}/mL$ and $5.0{\times}10^{8}{\sim}8.0{\times}10^{8}/mL$, respectively. Sensory property of the samples containing milk product was lower than that of milk yogurt (reference). However, sensory property of the sample containing casein was not significantly different from that of milk yogurt (p<0.05). The sample containing whey powder showed lower sensory score than other samples. Though the composition of volatile aroma compounds was slightly different from sample to sample, gas chromatographic analysis detected acetone, ethanol, diacetyl and acetoin in samples fermented by L. acidophilus.

This study was carried out to analyze the physicochemical properties of bovine milks, which were heated with LTLT, HTST, UHT pasteurization and UHT sterilization methods and to compare the heat intensity among the heating methods and samples. The mean HMF values per liter milk were measured as 0.66~1.62 $\mu$M (LTLT), 0.9~1.78$\mu$M (HTST), 3.53$\mu$M(UHT pasteurized) and 7.43~8.97$\mu$M (UHT sterilized) in samples, re- sportively. The available Iysine contents per 100ml milk showed 293.2 mg (Raw), 289.2~291.2 mg (LTLT), 298.4~292.4mg (HTST), 272.4~261.6mg (UHT pasteurized) and 279.0mg (UHT sterilized), respectively. The rates of whey protein denaturation were 9.5~11.4% (LTLT), 9.5~17.1% (HTST), 89.3~95% (UHT pas-tsterilized) and 62.7% (UHT sterilized), respectively. The contents of SH groups per g protein were determined as 2.86$\mu$M (Raw) and 2.95~3.15$\mu$M (LTLT), 3.08~3.18$\mu$M (HTST), 3.26~3.42$\mu$M (UHT Pasteurized) and 3. 36$\mu$M (UHT sterilized), respectively, The SS groups Contents per g protein were 28.93$\mu$M (Raw), 25.72~26. 51 $\mu$M (LTLT), 26.93~26.79$\mu$M (HTST), 23.65~23.04 $\mu$M (UHT pasteurized) and 24.69$\mu$M (UHT sterilized), respectively. The ascorbic acid contents per liter milk were measured 6.05mg (Raw), 1.47~1.65mg (LTLT), 2.50~3.85mg (HTST), 2.87~3.69mg (UHT pasteurized) and 4.50mg (UHT sterilized). The changes of some in-dices in milk samples depend on the heating temperature and time ; the HMF values, SH groups, whey protein denaturation rates increased, while the available lysine contents and SS groups decreased in LTLT, HTST, UHT pasteurized and UHT sterilized milks. No remarkable differences were found in heating indicators between LTLT and UHT milks.
