The diagnosis and treatment of cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA) is still a challenge. A systematic literature search was performed using Embase, Medline, The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Clinical Trials for the diagnosis and treatment of cow's milk allergy (CMA). Since none of the symptoms of CMPA is specific and since there is no sensitive diagnostic test (except a challenge test), the diagnosis of CMPA remains difficult. A "symptom-based score" is useful in children with symptoms involving different organ systems. The recommended dietary treatment is an extensive cow milk based hydrolysate. Amino acid based formula is recommended in the most severe cases. However, soy infant formula and hydrolysates from other protein sources (rice) are gaining popularity, as they taste better and are cheaper than the extensive cow's milk based hydrolysates. Recent meta-analyses confirmed the safety of soy and estimate that not more than 10-15% of CMPA-infants become allergic to soy. An accurate diagnosis of CMA is still difficult. The revival of soy and the development of rice hydrolysates challenge the extensive cow's milk based extensive hydrolysates as first option and amino acid formula.

This study investigated the effects of dietary soy protein and Ca on the lipid profiles of rats fed fat-enriched diets. Rats were divided into two groups and fed either a casein-low Ca (Exp I) or ISP-high Ca diet (Exp II) for a control period of 4 weeks. The two groups of rats were again subdivided into 4 groups and fed one of 4 experimental diets for another 4 weeks. The experimental diets consisted of 18% beef tallow and 1 % cholesterol, in which either 20 % casein or ISP with one of two levels of Ca, high (1 %) or low (0.1 %). The concentrations of total lipid, cholesterol and triglyceride in serum, liver and feces were determined. At the end of the control period, the serum total lipid and cholesterol concentrations were low in the rats fed ISP-high Ca diet (67~76% and 83~86%). During the next 4 week period, these concentrations remained significantly lower in rats fed the diets containing ISP and high Ca compared with those on casein and low Ca diets (p ＜ 0.05). Total lipid and cholesterol concentrations in feces were significantly higher in the ISP-high Ca dietary group at 4 weeks, and high in both high Ca groups at 8 weeks. This study demonstrates that both soy protein and Ca reduce serum and liver cholesterol, triglyceride, and total lipid in rats fed fat-enriched diet, and that they have an additive effect when combined.

Effects of raw soy flour(RSY) and black(RSB) feeding on protein concentration of liver and serum, and GOT, GPT and alkaline phosphatase activities of serum in diabetic and nondiabetic rats were studied. Male rats(Sprague-Dawley), mean weight of (338.4$\pm$19.2g) were assigned to six dietary groups and fed with the assigned diet for 28 days. For each experimental, some rats were injected with streptozotocin intraperitoneally(L.P.) to induce diabets, and other rats were injected with buffer L.P. as a control group. The liver, kidney and spleen weights relative to bo요 weigth were higher in raw yellow soy flour diet diabetes(D-RSY) and black soy flour diet diabetes(D-RSB) groups than control, but the body weights were lower than control. The protein and albumin concentrations of liver and serum were lower in D-RSY and D-RSB groups than control. The albumin concentration of serum in D-RSB group was lower than control. The GOT activities of serum in RSY and RSB groups were increased compared with control, but the GPT activities were lower in diabetic control, D-RSY and D-RSB groups than control. The alkaline phosphatase activities of serum in RSY and RSB groups were higher than control, but those in D-RSY and D-RSB groups were lower than diabetic control.

The emulsion stabilizing properties of soy protein isolate (SPI) were investigated in terms of the protein and oil concentration. Particularly, the dependence of emulsion stability on the oil particle size and viscosity of emulsion was studied in conjunction with the adsorption pattern of protein onto the water/oil interface during emulsification. The data showed that increasing protein concentration decreased the oil particle size and increased the emulsion viscosity, resulting in the enhanced emulsion stability. In contrast, increasing oil concentration increased both the oil praticle size and the emulsion viscosity, and thus emulsion stability varied depending on which factor predominated the overall emulsion system.

Most medium formulations for improving culture of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) based on protein sources have used enriched media like animal feed such as dried egg yolk, lactalbumin, and liver extract, among other ingredients. Most results, however, showed unstable yields and longer production time. Many of the results do not show the detailed parameters of fermentation. Soy flour, cotton seed flour, corn gluten meal, casein powder, soytone, peptone, casein hydrolysates, and lactalbumin hydrolysate as protein sources were tested to determine the source to support optimal symbiotic bacteria and nematode growth. The protein hydrolysates selected did not improve bacterial cell mass compared with the yeast extract control, but soy flour was the best, showing 75.1% recovery and producing more bacterial cell number ($1.4{\times}10^9$/ml) than all other sources. The highest yield ($1.85{\times}10^5$ IJs/ml), yield coefficient ($1.67{\times}10^6$ IJs/g medium), and productivity ($1.32{\times}10^7$ IJs/l/day) were also achieved at enriched medium with soybean protein.

The curd yogurt was prepared from milk or milk added with skim milk powder or soy proteins. Acid production by lactic acid bacteria in milk containing additive of 2% was investigated and quality of curd yogurt(sensory property and keeping quality) was examined. Some organic acids in curd yogurt were analyzed by HPLC. The soy proteins, particularly defatted soy flour or soy flour, stimulated acid production by lactic acid bacteria more than skim milk powder. Among the four organisms tested, Leuconostoc mesenteroides and Lactobacillus bulgaricus produced more acid than L. casei and L. delbrueckii. HPLC analysis of organic acids in curd yogurt showed that the amount of lactic acid and acetic acid markedly increased during the fermentation by L. bulgaricus for 24 hours while the amount of citric acid markedly decreased. The major organic acid produced during the fermentation was lactic acid. Addition of soy proteins to milk reduced sensory property of curd yogurt. Among the soy proteins tested, soy protein concentrate or soy protein isolate added sample showed better sensory acceptability than other samples. When curd yogurt was kept at $5^{\circ}C$ for two weeks, titratable acidity, pH and number of viable cells of curd yogurt were not changed.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the nutritional characteristics of selected soybeans grown in Korea to isolate concentrated proteins. Examination of the general characteristics revealed that the pH and apparent density of Phaseolus radiatus L. protein and concentrated Vigna angularis protein were significantly higher than those of other concentrated soy proteins. The water absorption capacity was high for concentrated Pisum sativum L. protein, whereas the oil absorption capacity was high for concentrated Glycine max (L.) Merr. protein. The emulsifying activity and emulsifying stability were higher and significantly higher, respectively, for enriched P. radiatus protein. Considering the functional characteristics of concentrated soy protein, its application as a food material in the meat product industry in Korea may be of potential value.

This study was conducted to evaluate plant proteins as a replacement for a fishmeal diet in the rearing of coho salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch. Twelve groups of 20 fish averaging 34.0±0.62 g were randomly distributed into 12 rectangular tanks (250 L). Four experimental diets included a control diet containing 60% fishmeal (Control), and three other diets that replaced 20% of fishmeal with soy protein concentrate (SPC), fermented soybean protein concentrate (F-SPC), and enzyme-processed soy protein concentrate (E-SPC). At the end of the feeding trial, fish that were fed Control, SPC and E-SPC diets showed significantly higher weight gain, specific growth rate, feed efficiency, and protein efficiency ratio than those that were fed F-SPC diet. However, there were no significant differences among the fish that were fed Control, SPC, and E-SPC diets. No significant differences were observed in crude protein, crude lipid, and ash of whole body among the fish that were fed all the diets. Therefore, these results indicated that 20% of fishmeal could be replaced by E-SPC or SPC without any adverse effects on the growth performance of coho salmon.

In our previous report (Korean J. Food Sci. and Technol., 9, 123, 1977) we have studied the functional properties of soy protein isolates prepared from defatted soybean meal. For the practical application of the data described, beef patties substituted with SPI, and imitatied ice cream were prepared and sensory evaluations were carried out. The sensory analyses indicated that the beef patties substituted with gelated SPI to 30% have no detectable difference to the control at the significant level of 0.01. The imitation of ice cream whose milk-solid-not-fat was substituted with soy protein isolates showed the same texture as the control. Flavor of ice cream, however, has significant difference to the control due to beany-off flavor. Therefore removal of beany-off flavor is required for the substitution in ice cream.

The levels of biologically active compounds, such as isoflavone, total saponin, dietary fiber, soy oligosaccharides, and lecithin from each serving size of commercial soy products, were quantitatively determined from the raw soybean, soymilk, tofu, isolated soy protein (ISP), soybean paste(toenjang), natto, and tempeh from local and foreign market. Soy flour, natto, and soymilk contained 489.1 mg, 308.3 mg, and 138.1 mg of isoflavone in each 100 g of dry matter, respectively. The ratios of aglycone to glucoside of soybean paste and tempeh showed relatively high level compared with other tested soy products. Commercial soymilk showed the highest ratio of soluble fiber to total dietary(59%). The higher levels of dietary fiber (20.1 g) and lecithin (1.13 g) were also found in tofu. The lecithin and saponin content of isolated soy protein(ISP) were highest (0.63 g and 0.65 g/ 100 g of dry matter) among the tested samples. In conclusion, soy flour showed the highest level of biologically active compounds, such as saponin, isoflavone, dietary fiber, and soy oligosaccharides. But when the evaluation was based on the serving size, soymilk containing 31.5 mg of isoflavone, 2.59 g of dietary fiber, 0.57 g of oligosaccharides, 0.10 g of lecithin, and 0.11 g of saponin showed similarity to those of the tested soybeans(20 g).
