The protective activity of seolitae chungkukjang added with green tea against oxidative stress was investigated under the cellular systems using LLC-$PK_1$ cells. The treatment of 2,2'-azobis(2-aminopropane) dihydrochloride (AAPH) showed increase in lipid peroxidation, and decrease in endogenous antioxidant enzymes activity and cell viability. However, the methanol extract of seolitae chungkukjang inhibited lipid peroxidation by 58.3%, and increased cell viability up to more than 60%. In addition, it enhanced superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities. Seolitae chungkukjang improved oxidative stress-induced cellular injury through the radical scavenging activities. In particular, the addition of green tea in seolitae chungkukjang showed stronger effect against oxidative stress induced by AAPH. The more addition of green tea resulted in the greater antioxidative effect through elevation in activities of SOD and GSH-Px, and inhibition of lipid peroxidation, eventually leading to increase in cell viability. Theses results suggested that seolitae chungkukjang added with green tea have protective effects from cellular oxidative damage and could be considered as an application for the development of chungkukjang with functionality.

To increase antioxidative activity and minimize off-flavor of Chungkukjang, Seoliate as main ingredient and green tea as minor ingredient were selected. The protective efffect of green tea for Chungkukjang was evaluated under in vitro. Seolitae Chungkukjang added with green tea (SCG) was prepared on the basis of the protective effect of green tea from oxidative stress. Green tea showed the strong protective effect against nitric oxide (NO) and superoxide anion ($O_2{^-}$) radicals. The SCG perparation method was as follows. Seolitae was cleaned and washed, soaked in 1.5-fold water ($15^{\circ}C$) of Seolitae weight for 48 hr. Seolitae was steamed about 40 min by autoclave and then cooled about $40^{\circ}C$. Bacillus subtilis was inoculated and 5.0-fold green tea of weight was added, and then it was fermented for 60 hr at $40^{\circ}C$. According to the preparation method, Seolitae Chungkukjang (SC) and Seolitae Chungkukjang added with green tea 5.0% (SCG5.0) were prepared. Among the Chungkukjang groups SCG5.0 exerted more effective scavenging activity of NO than SC. In addition, SC added with green tea 5.0% showed high $O_2{^-}$ scavenging effect. These results suggest the antioxidative potential against free radical-induced oxidative damage of SCG.

Seoritae with green cotyledons refers to Korean native black beans harvested when the frost falls because the maturity is late. It is one of the beans preferred by consumers because of its softness and high sugar content. Because of late maturity, if the agricultural work is delayed by weather or agricultural schedule in green cotyledon black soybean (Seoritae), it affects seriously harvest and yield of soybeans. The aim of this study was to investigate the marginal seeding period on June 30, July 10 and July 20 in Cheongju and Jecheon area in Korea to produce stable soybean yield. The yields of green cotyledon black soybean as seeding date in Cheongju area are as follows: Seolitae (Yeoncheon), Seoltae (Goesan) and Seoritae (Gogseong), which increased by 23%, 56%, 23% and 40%, respectively, compare to July 10th to June 30th. As soybean sowing is delayed, the quality of soybean seeds has decreased due to the increase of immature seeds and fungal damaged seeds. The contents of anthocyanin in Cheongju area a functional substance of soybeans, was high on July 20 for Heukcheong, on June 30 for Seolitae (Yeoncheon), on July 10 for Seoritae (Goesan). The yields of Heukcheong and Seolitae (Yeoncheon) in Jecheon area were increased by 5% and 17%, respectively, compare to July 10th to June 30th, while Seolite (Goesan) and Seolite (Gogseong) were high in yields on June 30th. Similarly in Cheongju area, as the sowing period is delayed, the number of immature and mold damaged seeds in Jecheon area increased. The contents of anthocyanin in Jecheon area was high on July 10 for Heukcheong, on June 30 for Seolitae (Yeoncheon) and Seolitae (Goesan). From the above results, Sowing marginal date of green cotyledon black soybeans (Seolitae) in Cheongju area increased 30% in sowing on July 10 and increased 2% in sowing on July 20 compared to June 30. And Sowing marginal date of green cotyledon black soybeans (Seolitae) in Jecheon area increased 2% in July 10 compared to June 30, and the yield decreased rapidly on July 20. We have identified the seeding time limit of green cotyledon black bean in Chungbuk province. It will be possible to provide a variety of crop selection after double cropping of farmers. And by knowing the yield and seed quality of soybean according to sowing date, farmers will observe appropriate sowing period of soybeans for high quality. From the viewpoint of consumers, functional substances of Seoritae will meet the desire for health.

Seolitae Chungkukjang added with different ratios of green tea was prepared to increase the antioxidative activity of Chungkukjang. The physicochemical properties and the radical scavenging effect under in vitro were evaluated. The addition of green tea to Seolitae Chungkukjang (SC) revealed lower pH, green color and decrease in levels of NH3-N. Among the Chungkukjang group with Seolitae or green tea, SC with green tea 5.0% (SCG 5.0) showed the strongest scavenging activity against 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl with $IC_{50}$ value of $82.1{\mu}g$/mL. In addition, SCG 5.0 exerted the most effective ${\cdot}OH$ scavenging activity. Moreover, SCG 5.0 showed the similar sensory preference to control soybean Chungkukjang. The present study suggests that SC exerts radical scavenging effect, and that the addition of green tea to SC leads to the increase in the antioxidative effect of Chunkukjang.

Isoflavone (daidzein and genistein) contents, and antioxidative and fibrinolytic activities of seven commercial Korean cooking-with-rice soybeans, including Seonbikong, Chungtae, Gangnamkong, Whangtae, Geodoo, Seolitae, and Wooltalikong were investigated. Daidzein and genistein were not found in Selitae, nor was didzein in Gangnamkong and Geodoo. Total daidzein and genistein levels in Chungtae and Whangtae were 500 and 1550 mg per kg, respectively. Wooltalikong, Whangtae, and Gangnamkong had very high electron donation abilities, over 90%, but Seonbikong and Chungtae showed significantly lower activities. SOD-like activities were also the highest in Gangnamkong and Wooltalikong. Fibrinolytic activities in Seonbikong, Whangtae, and Gangnamkong were similarly strong. Fibrinolytic substances purified from protease inhibitors or activated under various pH or heat treatment conditions, were different among the soybean varieties. This study revealed that, although several cooking-with-rice soybeans were poor in isoflavones, Wooltalikong and Gangnamkong could be good sources for functional products due to their strong antioxidative activities, and heat- and acid-resistant proteolytic abilities.
