The potency of adventitious root initiation was investigated in relation with germination days and ike end of culture days healed with root induction medium on the initiation of adventitious roots from explants of soybean (Glycine max L.) cotyledon. Also, the changes in the pattern of protein profiles related with adventitious mot initiation have been examined by two-dimensional polyauyl-amide gel elecoophoresis during the germination and the initiation of adventitious roots. The potency of adventitious root initiation from germinated cotyledons was high after 4 days, and adventitious roots were initiated from after 4 days and very high after 6 days healed with mot induction medium There was a reproducible quantitative change in 34 specific protein spots during germination and adventitious root initiation. A necessary basic protein for adventitious root initiation with rotative molecular weight of 27 kD was induced during the germination. And three basic protein groups with relative molecular weight 22 kD, 23 kD and 33 kD, and two acidic protein groups with relative molecular weight 27kD and 29 kD were induced during the initiation of adventitious roots.

Samples of six varieties of soybeans (Bongeui, Danyup-kong, Dongpuktae, Hwangkeum-kong, Jangyup-kong, Kanglim) were analysed for their chemical composition and amino acid content by A.O. A. C. method (1980) and amino acid analyser in order to determine their nutritive value. 1) Chemical composition of soybean was affected by the varieties. The protein contents of 6 varieties of soybeans grown at Suwon were 48.84% in Kanglim, 45.57% in Bongeui, 43.73% in Dongputtae, 41.56% in Jangyup-kong, 40.86% in Hwangkeum-kong, and 40.05% in Danyup-kong. 2) Compared to FAO (1970) chemical score of soybean (A/E ratio and A/T ratio), three varieties of Korean soybeans (Bongeui, Danyup-kong, Hwangkeum-kong) showed higher levels of nutritive value in protein and three varieties of soybeans (Dongpuktae, Jangyup-kong, Kanglim) showed lower levels of nutritive value in protein. From protein content and chemical score, Bongeui showed the greatest potential for the best high protein source among Korean soybean varieties. 3) The determination of first limiting amino acid in six varieties of Korean soybeans by whole egg protein was methionine, but valine was the first limiting amino acid in Danyup-kong and methionine- cystine was other five varieties of Korean soybeans by FAO provisional amino acid pattern.

In this study the physiochemical characteristics and antioxidant activity of soybean curd were prepared with saltwort (Salicornia herbacea L.). The moisture and protein of the saltwort soybean curd showed no difference among the samples. Ash and lipid were found to be the highest in the soybean curd to which 20% saltwort was added. The contents of mineral(Fe, K, Mg, Zn) were highest in the soybean curd to which 20% saltwort was added, and Ca content was high in the soybean curd to which 16% and 20% saltwort was added. DPPH (1,1-dipheny1-2-picryl-hydrazyl) radical scavenging activity is a method of measuring the antioxidant power of food; this was high in the soybean curd to which 20% saltwort was added. Adding more saltwort led to higher scavenging activity. From the above results, it could be seen that the soybean curd, which is made by adding saltwort, contributed to enhancing the functionality of antioxidant activation and product quality.

Effects of green tea-soybean paste on weight-changes and serum lipid profiles in rats fed high fat diet were investigated. Sprague-Barley male rats divided into five groups were fed five different diets for 10 weeks: B group, basal diet H group, high fat-diet containing 0.5% cholesterol+15% lard H-S group, high fat diet containing soybean paste H-0.6GS group, high fat diet containing 0.6% green tea-soybean paste H-4GS group, high fat diet containing 4% green tea-soybean paste. H group showed highest weight gain (p<0.05). Addition of green-tea soybean paste to high-fat diet significantly decreased weight gain, H-4GS group showing highest weight loss (p<0.05). No significant differences in food efficiency ratio and total food intake were found among groups. Liver weight of H group was highest. Addition of green tea-soybean paste to high fat diet significantly reduced liver weight (p<0.05, Table 2). Concentrations of glucose, uric acid, bilirubin, and total protein were similar among all group. Mean GPT values of H-4GS group were significantly different from these of H- and H-S groups (p<0.05). H-S, H-0.6GS, and H-4GS groups had significantly lower triglyceride and total cholesterol, and higher HDL than H-group (p<0,05). H-4GS group had significantly lower serum triglyceride than H-0.6GS group (p<0.05).

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of long-term fertilization on the yield and quality of soybean. The yield of soybean was highest in the NPK+lime $1.5Mg\;ha^{-1}$ treatment. Carbohydrate content of soybean was high in the non-fertilizer treatment and crude protein content was high in the NPK+lime $1.5Mg\;ha^{-1}$ and NPK+silicate $1.5Mg\;ha^{-1}$ treatment, and crude lipid and ash content was high in the NPK+silicate $1.5Mg\;ha^{-1}$ treatment. The content of inorganic compounds were not different among treatments. Correlation between $P_2O_5$/T-N and carbohydrate, crude lipid was $-0.99^{**}$, $-0.94^{**}$ respectively. Correlation between Mn and carbohydrate was $0.95^*$, but others were not significantly different. Yield of soybean increased with lime application and protein content increased with silicate application.

Soybean curd residue (SCR), known as a major waste product of soybean processing, is the water-insoluble fraction which is removed by filtration during soymilk production. For these reasons, SCR was usually considered as food waste. SCR might have a good potential as a functional food material, value-added processing and utilization. SCR contains high-quality protein and consists of a good source of nutrients, including protein, oil, dietary fiber, minerals, along with un-specified monosaccharides and oligosaccharides. Also, SCR might be a potential source of low cost protein for human consumption. However, SCR could be a source of bacterial contamination when during food processing. This study was aimed to investigate antibacterial capacity of natural product through detecting relationship between SCR and microbial. We isolated five bacterial strains from SCR and elucidated antibacterial activity of nature medicines to extend storage capacity of food made with SCR. Thus, the extract which showed antibacterial effects in Corynebacterium calloonae and Raoultella amithinolytica is a combination of seven kinds of extracts: Glycyrrhiza uralensis, Cudrania tricuspidata, Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge, blueberry, Acorus gramineus, Ginkgo biloba L., Camellia sinensis. This study suggested that antibacterial activities of natural medicines could be used for extension of storage capacity in SCR-contained food.

Soybean, rice and nuts are the staple foods in South East Asia. In order to clarify the function of these foods in relation to coronary heart diseases, we have done a series of experiments using animals and humans. Soybean protein preparations (SPI) in comparison with an animal protein, casein (CAS), resulted in reducing atherosclerotic lesion development in apolipoprotein (apo) E deficient mice that develop an advanced lesion similar to that in humans. This action was attributed to the protein, since the ethanol-extracted SPI (EE-SPI), from which isoflavones and saponins removed, lowered the lesion development in apo E-deficient mice. However, The EE-SPI, compared to the SPI, resulted in a decrease of mRNA for key proteins of cholesterol metabolism (low density lipoprotein receptor and cholesterol 7$\alpha$-hydroxylase) in hypercholesterolemic rats, followed by an elevation of the serum cholesterol level, indicating a contribution of isoflavones to the serum cholesterol level. Rice protein (RPI) was also effective to lower the lesion development in apo E deficient mice. Both the SPI and RPI led to an increased level of the serum NOiN03, metabolites of NO. This effect appeared to be attributed to their high content of arginine. Besides, C57BL/6J mice fed a diet containing whole grain rice had an elevation of the serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Furthermore, rice bran oil and the unsaponifiable fraction that is rich in plant sterols were effective to lower serum cholesterol levels in hypercholeserolemic rats. Finally, we tested if walnuts consumption would be hypocholesterolemic for Japanese. A diet containing walnuts effectively lowered the serum total and low density lipoprotein cholesterol in Japanese men and women. These animal and human experiments would be relevant to advocate publics to keep consuming diets including soybean, rice and nuts for their healthful life.

The effects of ${\alpha}$-chymotrypsin and trypsin treatments on the functional properties (degree of hydrolysis, solubility, and emulsifying capacity) of the soy protein isolate prepared from Jinpum soybean milk(JS milk) which has been developed as low lipoxidase-active soybean variety in Korea and extracted from commercially defatted soybean meal milk(DSM milk). The mixing ratios of JS milk to DSM milk were adjusted to 10:0, 7:3, and 5:5, respectively. The general quality attributes(yield, pH, titrable acidity, moisture contents, crude protein contents, color, textural properties, and sensory characteristics) of soybean cheese which has been prepared with the resulting soy protein hydrolysates were evaluated. Jinpum SPI was better subjected to trypsin than ${\alpha}$-chymotrypsin hydrolyses as indicated by better solubility and emulsifying capacity of the hydrolysates. The degree of hydrolysis and solubility of Jinpum SPI were higher than the soybean isolates from DSM milk. The increased ratios of DSM milk in the mixture resulted in the reduced yields and crude protein content along with the lowered titratable acidity while the pH values and moisture contents showed the opposite trends. In color characteristics, the increased amount of DSM milk brought about the significantly lower Hunter color reflectance values of lightness of the cheese products, along with the higher redness and total color difference value(ΔE). However, the enzyme treatment alone was not enough to cause any color differences. The increased ratios of DSM milk also caused the significantly lowered textural parameters such as hardness, adhesiveness and cohesiveness of the soybean cheese. Between the enzyme treatments, the ${\alpha}$-chymotrypsin treated samples resulted in the higher hardness and cohesiveness values of the products than those from the trypsin-treated ones. In organoleptic properties of the product, the better mouthfeel and overall quality scores were obtained from the trypsin treatments as compared with those from the ${\alpha}$-chymotrypsin ones. The mixing ratios of 10:0 and 7:3 were more favored than that of 5:5 as far as mouth-feel, yellowness and overall quality of the products were concerned. On the overall, the mixing ratio of 7:3(JS milk: DSM milk) and the trypsin treatment of the mixture was recommended for better manufacturing of high-quality soybean cheese.

This study was carried out to identify how soybean seed protein concentration is influenced by climatic factors. Twelve lines selected for seed protein concentration were studied in 13 environments of North Carolina. Sensitivity of seed protein concentration, total seed protein, and seed yield to climatic variables was investigated using a linear regression model. Best response models were determined using two stepwise selection methods, Maximum R-square and Stepwise Selection. There were wide climatic effects in seed protein concentration, total protein and seed yield. The highest protein concentration environment was characterized by the most high temperature days(HTD) and the smallest variance of average daily temperature range (VADTRg), while the lowest protein concentration environment was distinguished by the fewest HTD and the largest VADTRg. For protein concentration, all lines responded positively to average maximum daily temperature(MxDT), HTD, and average daily temperature range(ADTRg) and negatively to ADRa, while they responded positively or negatively to average daily temperature(ADT), variance of average minimum daily temperature (VMnDT), and VADTRg, indicating that genotypes may greatly differ in degrees of sensitivity to each climatic variable. Eleven lines seemed to have best response models with 2 or 3 variables. Exceptionally, NC106 did not show a significant sensitivity to any climatic variable and thus did not have a best response model. This indicates that it may be considered phenotypically more stable. For total seed protein and seed yield, all the lines responded negatively to both ADTRg and VADRa, suggesting that synthesis of seed components may increase with less daily temperature range and less variation in daily rainfall.

To enjoy a healthy life, it is important to have a well-balanced diet. However, in today's society, there is an increase in the consumption of preprocessed foods and frequency of eating out. Also the western diet, which is becoming move popular worldwide, contains relatively high levels of protein and fat, and a low amount of fiber, Furthermore, the increased availability of favorite foods has created a condition were the individual diet is less variable. With these conditions, it is difficult to maintain a diet that is nutritionally balanced. With these unbalanced diets, which are difficult to change, there has been an increase in adult disease and health problems, such as colon and breast cancer, It is speculated that metabolites for carcinogens are produced from diet components and that intestinal bacteria contribute to the production of these metabolites. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the relationships between health, diet, and intestinal microflora. Soybean oligosaccharide is composed of water-soluble saccharides that have been extracted from soybean whey, a by-product from the production of soy protein. This is mainly a mixture of mono-, di-, tri-, and tetrasac-charides, with the principle components being the oligosaccharide raffinose and stachyose. When consumed by humans, the oligosaccharides cannot be digested in the human duodenal and small intestinal mucosa, and these are selectively utilized by beneficial bifidobacteria in intestines. The results of acute and subacute toxicity tests, soy-bean oligosaccharides were nonpoisonous. Soybean oligosaccharides promote the growth of indigenous bifido-bacteria in the colon which by their antagonistic effects, suppress the activity of putrefactive bacteria. Also, they reduce toxic metabolites, detrimental enzymes and plasma lipid, and increase in the frequency of bowel evacuation and fecal quantities. Consequently, soybean oligosaccharides as functional foods components have potential roles in the prevention and medical treatment of chronic adult diseases. The study of processing property and physiological function of soybean oligosacchavides and development of high oligosaccharide variety allow the creation of new and exciting foodstuffs that aye functional healthy.
