To develop a method appropriate for mass production in a factory, we manufactured soy sauce with Bacillus species SSA3-2M1 and fused ST723-F31 at $30^{\circ}C$ with aeration of 1/3 vvm for 40 days. The flavor components extracted from the manufactured soy sauce were fractionated to neutral, acidic, basic and phenolic fraction and identified by GC-mass. Among the 60 kinds of identified flavor components, 16 and 23 components were detected in traditional Korean soy sauce and soybean paste, respectively. There were three peak regions that smelled like soy sauce with the GC sniffing test of flavor components and 2, 6-dimethyl pyrazine, benzaldehyde, 2-methoxy phenol, phenol and benzeneethanol which were identified as character impact compounds of traditional Korean soy sauce and soybean paste were identified in the region that smelled like soy sauce. It is therefore considered possible to achieve mass production of soy sauce with standard quality by Bacillus species SSA3-2M1 and fused ST723-F31 in the factory.

The effects of soybean oil and cyclodextrin were studied on the quality characteristics and storage of frozen soy yogurt prepared from proteolytic soy protein isolate. The viscosity and overrun of frozen soy yogurt were improved by the addition of soybean oil and cyclodextrin. Upon the addition of cyclodextrin, there was a decrease in the peroxide value of yogurt with subsequent increase by the addition of soybean oil during frozen storage. During the process of storage, there was an increase in the acetone and diacetyl contents, but methanol, ethanol and butanol contents decreased. However, the value of hexanal content was not consistent in the obtained results. Sensory characteristics of frozen soy yogurt such as mouth feel, and overall quality were improved by the addition of cyclodextrin and remained the same frozen storage at $-20^{\circ}C$ for 30 days.

Purpose: This study was conducted to explore the relationship between isoflavones intake from soy foods and perimenstrual symptoms among women. Methods: The research design was a cross sectional study. Subjects consisted of 245 women living in Korea, aged 19-49 years. The measurement tools were MDQ and FFQ. Results: Frequently consumed soy isoflavones foods were rice with soybeans, soybean paste stew, and soy paste with tofu. The amounts of soy isoflavones foods consumed in order from highest to lowest were rice with soybeans, soybean paste stew, seasoned soybean sprouts, and soy paste with tofu. Subjects were divided into three groups by isoflavones intake levels; the small intake group, moderate intake group, and large intake group. There were significant differences in some menstrual symptoms, and postmenstrual symptoms by isoflavones intake levels. In general, the moderate isoflavones intake group showed lower scores in some menstrual symptoms and postmenstrual periods compared to the small and large intake groups. Conclusions: These results suggest some positive health effects of isoflavones from soy foods on perimenstrual symptoms. More accurate, objective measurement needs to be applied and more investigation of soy isoflavones effects on many aspects of women's health need to be done in a future study.

Volatile extracts obtained from traditional Chinese-type soy sauces prepared with soybean (SSSB) and defatted soy meal (SSDSM) by solid phase microextraction (SPME) and direct solvent extraction (DSE) were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The volatile flavor compounds and relative contents of different chemical classes detected in SSSB and SSDSM were compared for their differences. Results showed that significant differences in both constituents of volatile flavor compounds and relative contents of different chemical classes were observed for both kinds of soy sauces. A total of 152 and 131 compounds were identified in SSSB and SSDSM, respectively, and 102 volatile flavor compounds were common in both kinds of soy sauces. Moreover, relative contents of acids, aldehydes, esters, furan(one)s, miscellaneous compounds, phenols, pyrazines, pyrrol(idinon)es, and sulfur-containing compounds in both kinds of soy sauces were all significantly different.

Soy sauce, a basic ingredient in Asian cuisine, is made of fermented soybeans, salt, water, and barley or wheat flour. The sensory characteristics of soy sauce are not only determined through its main ingredients but also by various flavor compounds produced during the fermentation process. This study was conducted to identify the sensory attributes of five different commercial soy sauce samples that differ in Meju types (traditional Meju or modified Meju) and usage types. Thirty three sensory attributes, including appearance (1), odor (16), flavor (14), and mouthfeel (2) attributes, were generated and evaluated by eight trained panelists. The collected data were analyzed by analysis of variance and principal component analysis. There were significant differences in the intensities of all sensory attributes among the soy sauce samples. Soy sauce made with traditional Meju had high intensity of fermented fish, beany, musty odors and salt, Cheonggukjang, fermented fish flavors. Whereas two soy sauces made with modified Meju were strong in alcohol, sweet, Doenjang, roasted soybean flavors. Two soy sauces for soup made with modified Meju had medium levels of briny, sulfury, fermented odors and bitter, chemical flavors and biting mouthfeel characteristic.

This study examined ways to improve the functional properties of commercial soy sauce using gelatin hydrolysates from the refiner discharge of Alaska pollock, Theragra chalcogramma. The total nitrogen content and pH of gelatin sauce prepared by dissolving the second-step gelatin hydrolysates (15 g), salt (20 g), sugar (5 g), glucose (2.5 g), inosine monophosphate (IMP) (0.5 g), black pepper (0.1 g), caramel powder (0.1 g), ginger powder (0.05 g), garlic powder (0.05 g), vinegar (3 mL), and fructose (3 mL) in water(100 mL) were 1.71% and 5.35, respectively. The results of a sensory evaluation indicated that when preparing blended soy sauce, the optimal blending ratio of gelatin sauce to commercial soy sauce was 20:80 (v/v). Because the total nitrogen content and pH of the blended soy sauce were 1.52% and 5.31, respectively, the blended soy sauce could be sold as a soy sauce. The oxidative property of the blended soy sauce was similar to that of 20 mM ascorbic acid, and its angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) -inhibiting activity was 1.5 mg/mL. The results suggest that the antioxidative and ACE-inhibiting activities of commercial soy sauce can be improved by blending gelatin sauce (20) with commercial soy sauce (80). The total amino acid content of the blended soy sauce was 9,107.3 mg/mL, which was higher than that (8,992.4 mg/100 mL) of commercial soy sauce. However, the taste value of the blended soy sauce was 415.8, which was lower than that (431.2) of commercial soy sauce.

This study was attempted to investigate the sensory and textural characteristics of mungbean starch gels with soy bean oil and sucrose fatty acid ester(SE) addition during room temperature storage. Freshly prepared mungbean starch gels, with and without soy bean oil and SE, were stored at 25$^{\circ}C$ for 24, 48 and 72 hours. The color value, syneresis, texture and sensory properties of the gels were measured. The lightness(L) of the gels with soy bean oil and without additives was similar whereas that with SE was lower than that without additives. Syneresis of the gels with soy bean oil and SE was lower than that without additives. Rupture stress, rupture strain and rupture energy of the freshly prepared gel with 2∼4% soy bean oil were increased, but there were no differences in rupture properties between the gel with soy bean oil and that without additives. Rupture stress, rupture stain and rupture energy of all the gels with SE were decreased. Addition of soy bean oil to the gel did not change the texture profile of the gel, whereas hardness, springiness and chewiness of the gel with SE were decreased. In sensory evaluation, the acceptability of freshly prepared gel with soy bean oil was similar to that without additives, whereas that of the gel with 2% soy bean oil stored for 24 hours was higher than that without additives. The acceptability of the gel with SE was decreased significantly.

The present study conducted to examine the effects of proteins from different sources on Ca excretion in 6 healthy young adult Korean women. The subjects were given meat protein diet for 5 days and soy protein diet for subsequent 5 days. the two diets were similar in protein and Ca contents. Urinary and fecal samples were collected for the last 2 days of each diet period and were analyzed for Ca and P. The results were as following ; 1) Mean daily urinary calcium excretion was 126.5$\pm$22.70mg for meat protein diet and 83.7$\pm$17.19mg for soy protein diet and the difference was significant (P<0.025). 2) Fecal Ca excretion did not show significant difference between two experimental preiod ; 466.9$\pm$73.68 mg of meat portein diet 284.4$\pm$54.96mg for soy protein diet. 3) Three out of six subjects showed negative balance on meat protein diet, but only one showed negative balance on soy protein diet. The averageof the balances on meat protein diet was -65.4 $\pm$68.19 and that of soy protein diet was 155.3$\pm$52.28 ; the difference was significant(P<0.025). 4) Urinary P excretion tended to be higher on meat protein diet but was not significant compared to soy protein diet . Fecal P excretion was significantly higher (P<0.001) on soy protein diet. Overall P balances for meat protein diet and soy protein diet were 219.94 mg and 229.46mg respectively (P<0.05). The above results show that urinary Ca excretion was significantly higher on meat protein diet but fecal excretion did not show significant difference between meat protein diet and soy protein diet. The overall Ca balance was significantly higher on Soy protein diet compared to meat protein diet.

Alkali treatment following acidic hydrolysis (ATAH) of defatted soybean is currently used to reduce the level of 3-chloropropane-1,2-diol (3-MCPD), a known carcinogen, in commercial Korean soy sauce. 3-MCPD concentrations in commercial soy sauces made by ATAH were compared with those made only by acidic hydrolysis, and products that combine soy sauce made by acid hydrolysis (followed by alkalinization) and enzymatic methods. The four soy sauces made by ATAH had lower 3-MCPD concentrations (below 0.078 ppm) than 4 commercial products (0.147∼0.481 ppm) made only by acidic hydrolysis. On the other hand, 3-MCPD concentrations in 4 commercial products made by combining soy sauces made enzymatically with that made from acid (with alkali treatment)-hydrolyzed soybean protein in varying ratios were in a range of 0.016∼0.053 ppm. The 3-MCPD concentrations in commercial Korean soy sauces, with the exception of 2 of the soy sauces made only by acidic hydrolysis, were lower than allowable limit of 0.3 ppm in Korea. These results demonstrated that currently produced commercial soy sauces on the Korean market hate toxicologically save 3-MCPD concentrations. It is also provides evidence that ATAH is an effective process for reducing 3-MCPD concentrations in commercial soy sauce.

The purpose of this study was to analyze factors affecting acceptance of four kinds of dak-jjim samples in third year school-aged children (n=100). Soy sauce, red pepper paste, Vietnam fish sauce, and star anise were applied to samples for their familiar and exotic characteristics. Significant differences among samples were observed in odor, taste, and acceptance (p<0.001). Soy (Soy sauce sample), RPPaste (Red pepper paste sample), and Soy_FishS (Soy sauce and Vietnam fish sauce sample) samples scored higher than Soy_StarA (Soy sauce and star anise sample) sample. On the other hand, there were no significant differences in intensities of saltiness, sweetness, and hot spicy flavor (p>0.05). Liked attributes in samples were saltiness, sweetness, chicken flavor, potato flavor, moistness of chicken, hot spicy flavor, and color. Disliked attributes in samples were hot spicy flavor, saltiness, and ginger flavor. Significant differences among samples were observed in familiar intensity and willing to try again (p<0.001). Soy, RPPaste, and Soy_FishS samples scored higher than Soy_StarA sample. Panels considered taste (46%) and nutrition (45%). Higher familiar intensity of sample was associated with higher acceptance in samples. In other words, familiarity of food affects acceptance of food. Therefore, familiar ingredients such as soy sauce and chicken can be used for development of Korean menu items considering taste and nutrition with enhanced Korean food acceptance in school-aged children.
