Rheological properties of whole soybean gel(soygel) were investigated as affected by the water addition ratio, stirring time and Ca salts. The soygel was prepared by suspension of whole soy flour(WSF, 300 mesh) in boiling water, addition of sodium alginate and Ca salts followed by thorough mixing and gel formation at $4^{\circ}C$. The texture properties of hardness, adhesiveness and cohesiveness of the gel were increased as the stirring time prolonged from 5 to 30 minutes. From the results of the rheological and sensory properties, 20 minutes of stirring time was selected for whole soybean gel preparation. Eventhough increase in water addition ratio from 8 to 12 times(water/WSF, v/w) resulted a decrease in hardness and adhesiveness, 10 times ratio was chosen as proper the water addition based on textural uniformity. Among the Ca salts, $CaSO_4$ produced the highest hardness followed by Ca $gluconate-CaSO_4$ mixture(413g) and Ca gluconate at the water addition level of 10 times. In order to determine the amounts of Ca salts, and 0.125g of Ca gluconate or $CaSO_4$ per g WSF were found to be optimum in terms of textural and sensory properties. The proper mixing ratio of Ca gluconate and $CaSO_4$ was found to be 50 : 50, 25 : 75 and 0 : 100.

Soymilk cake (SMC) fortified with defatted soy flour was fermented by a novel Bacillus subtilis GT-D in the solid-state fermentation with chlorella, mulberry leaves or green tea as food ingredient. The fermentation of SMC resulted in higher content of tyrosine and higher activities of protease, amylase and fibrinolytic enzymes. Fermented SMC including mucilage indicated six-fold higher content of dietary fiber compared to that of non-fermented SMC. The SMC fermented without additional ingredient allowed the highest spread ratio and width of cookies. Cookies prepared without SMC showed the lowest value of spread ratio and width compared to those of fermented SMC. In addition, these cookies showed the highest hardness value of 8,975 g, and thickness value of 5.97 and slightly higher bright color. Cookies fortified with SMC fermented with chlorella or mulberry leaves showed higher sensory evaluation value. Fortification of SMC fermented without additional ingredient resulted in the highest preference in the sensory evaluation of cookies.

We monitored the characteristics of soybean hydrolysate prepared under various hydrolysis condition using response surface methodology. The yield was affected by protease content but 1be effect of hydrolysis time to yield gradually increased at over $0.4\%$ of protease, while the $R^2$ of polynomial equation was 0.978 (p<0.01). The soluble solid enlarged by increase of both variables and the $R^2$ of polynomial equation was 0.954 (p<0.01). The degree of hydrolysis was affected by protease content at low (under $0.4\%$) protease and maximized at $0.57\%$ protease and 5.49 hrs. The $R^2$ of polynomial equation for the degree of hydrolysis was 0.916 (P<0.05). The calcium intolerance capacity showed similar pattern like yield but the effect of hydrolysis time was rapidly increased at over $0.4\%$ protease. The $R^2$ of polynomial equation for calcium intolerance capacity was 0.932 (p<0.05). The total phenolic compounds increased in proportion to protease content and hydrolysis time, while the $R^2$ of polynomial equation was 0.920 (p<0.05). According to the results of this study, the optimal conditions for soybean hydrolysis were predicted to be $0.51\~0.66\%$ of protease and $6.5\~9.0\;hrs$, and the predicted values and actual values of each response variable were similar to each other when the hydrolysis was performed at a random point within the optimal range.

For the optimization of thermal processing conditions in soymilk process, 4 strains of thermoresistant flat-sour bacteria were isolated from soymilk. The isolates were aerobic spore-forming rods, and grew at $-65^{\circ}C$. Based on the morphological and physiological properties, all of the isolated strains were identified as Bacillus stearothermophilus. The heat resistance of spores of 3 isolates and Bacillus stearothermophillus ATCC 12980 as a reference was determined in soymilk(pH 7.0) and pH 7.0 buffer solution. For each of the spores studied, linear regression equations with standard error were presented for the thermal destruction at 110, 115, 121, and $125^{\circ}C$. It was not obvious that the components of soy milk increased the heat resistance of spores. Between the strains studied, variability was noted in the D values at the different temperature, and no one strain was consistently the most heat resistant at all the given temperatures. The average D value for the 4 strains was 77.27, 20.20, 2.76 and 1.39 min at 110, 115, 121 and $125^{\circ}C$, respectively, and the average z value was $8.36^{\circ}C$.

The optimum culture condition of Scopulariopsis brevicaulis for the production of ${\alpha}$-galactosidase was as follows: Tryptone 1.5%, $NH_4NO_3$ 0.2%, Raffinose 2.5%, $KH_2PO_4$ 0.5%, yeast extract 0.5%, pH 7.0, $27^{\circ}C$. The optimum pH and temperature for the enzyme activity of ${\alpha}$-galactosidase producing Scopulariopsis brevicaulis were pH 7.0 and $27^{\circ}C$, respectively. The enzyme was relatively stable at $pH\;6.0{\sim}8.0$ and at temperature below $40^{\circ}C$. The activity of the enzyme was inhibited by $Ag^{2+},\;Hg^{2+},\;Cu^{2+}$, p-chloromercuribenzoic acid and Iodine. These results would indicate the presence of -SH groups in the catalytic site of the enzyme. Km value was 1.9 mM for $p-nitrophenyl-{\alpha}-D-galactopyranoside$ and Vmax value was $9.66{\times}10^2\;{\mu}M/min$. Sugar constituents of culture broth were identified by HPLC that the enzyme liberated sucrose, glucose and fructose from raffinose and raffinose was significantly decreased.

This study was reviewed the changes in main ingredients, seasonings and cooking methods of Tangpyeongchae in Korean cook books and literatures published from the 1700s to the 1960s. The first published books about Tangpyeongchae were in Kosasibijib and Kyongdojabji, written in 1783 and the late 1700s, respectively. Tangpyeongchae, a representative traditional Korean dish that was royal cuisine offered at ritual events in the Chosun Dynasty, was called Cheongpochae in the royal court. It was a dish made by mixing cheongpomuk (mung bean gel), meat, dropwort, mung bean sprout, egg strips and laver. This dish has been seasoned with vinegar, soy sauce, black pepper, garlic, green onion, red pepper, salt, sugar, sesame oil and sesame salt since the early 1900s. Dropwort, egg strips, laver, pine nut (powder), red pepper powder, and red pepper threads were used as garnishes. Tangpyeongchae was made by mixing cheongpomuk with other ingredients and seasonings until the late 1800s. Since the early 1900s Tangpyeongchae has been seasoned first with other ingredients and then mixed cheongpomuk.

Instantized thin gruels have been popular to supplement patients who want nutritional, ready-to-eat, and easy-to-use products. In this study, rice-based thin gruels were developed by use of gelatinized rice powder which was manufactured by extrudating rice in a twin-screw extruder. Subsequently, the rice paste from the extruder were dried and ground into fine powder. The gelatinized rice powder was mixed with the powders of various grains, soy beans, nuts, oil seeds, and vegetables to formulate the instantized thin rice gruel with well-balanced nutrients (mixed powder). The mixed powder was granulated to improve reconstitution capability in a fluid bed spray granulator (granulated powder). Lipid and protein contents were higher by 0.9 and 1.9%, respectively, in the granulated powder whereas carbohydrate content was higher by 3.2% in the mixed powder. The calculated dispersibility was 93.7 and 77.0% for the granulated and the mixed powders, respectively. The reconstitution time was 122.3 and 305.3 for the granulated and the mixed powders, respectively. In conclusion, the granulation of the mixed powder improved the dispersibility. This study will be helpful to develop a variety of processed rice products and promote rice process industry.

This study suggests a method of making cheese using soybeans for healthy food for people that are allergic to animal proteins, vegetarians, people on a diet, infants and toddlers. Additionally, the study was conducted to provide basic data that can contribute to the development of a quality control class of Korean cheese and underdeveloped cheese industry. Soybean cheeses have a high protein content and low fat. The free amino acids of soybean cheeses contained 11.48 mg of arginine per 100 g, 9.33 mg of glutamate, and leucine 4.91 mg, in that order. The free amino acids of Company A's milk cheese contained 20.95 mg of glutamate, 8.95 mg of proline and 8.02 mg of lysine per 100 g. In soybean cheeses, there were 2.21 mg of tryptophan and 0.73 mg of cysteine, which were not analyzed in the milk cheese of company A. The contents of the constituent amino acids was 1,070.22 mg of glutamate, 467.30 mg of aspartate and 446.30 mg of leucine in 100 grams of soybean cheeses per 100 grams. The milk cheese of Company A was 1,715.97 mg of glutamate, 798.72 mg of leucine and 685.31 mg of proline. The mineral contents of the soybean cheese were 120.29 mg/100 g of calcium, 0.92 mg/100 g of iron, 0.78 mg/100 g of zinc and 0.40 mg/100 g of selenium, respectively. The contents of vitamin $B_1$ and ${\beta}$-glucan in soybean cheese were higher than that of the milk cheese in Company A at 0.08 mg/100 g and 13.73 mg/g, respectively. Therefore, it is considered that the soy cheese is excellent in nutritional aspect and will contribute to health promotion. It is also suitable for people that are allergic to animal proteins, vegetarians, people on a diet and healthy foods for infants.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to develop healthy, appetizing high-protein snacks with enhanced isolated soy protein for diabetic patients and determine the blood glucose and insulin response after being consumed by these patients. MATERIALS/METHODS: Thirty adult patients aged between 30 and 75 years, with a ≤ 10-year history of type 2 diabetes and hemoglobin A1c of < 7.5%, were enrolled in this study. They made 3 clinical visits at one-week intervals. The control group consumed 50 g carbohydrates (white bread), whereas the test groups consumed high-protein grain (HP_G) or high-protein chocolate (HP_C) after an 8-hrs fast. Blood (2 ㎤) was drawn at 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 min before and after consumption to analyze the blood glucose and insulin concentrations. RESULTS: Compared to the commercial snacks, the developed high-protein snacks had below-average calorie, carbohydrate, and fat content and a 2.5-fold higher protein content. In diabetic patients who consumed these snacks, the postprandial blood glucose increased between 15 min and 2 h after consumption, which was significantly slower than the time taken for the blood glucose to increase in the patients who consumed the control food product (P < 0.001). Insulin secretion was significantly lower at 45 min after consumption (P < 0.05), showing that the high-protein snacks did not increase the blood glucose levels rapidly. The incremental area under the curve (iAUC), which indicated the degree of blood sugar and insulin elevation after food intake, was higher in the control group than the groups given the 2 developed snacks (P < 0.001), and there was no significant difference in insulin secretion. CONCLUSIONS: The results of the postprandial blood glucose and insulin response suggest that high-protein snacks are potential convenient sources of high-quality protein and serve as a healthier alternative for patients with type 2 diabetes, who may have limited snack product choices. Such snacks may also provide balanced nutrition to pre-diabetic and obese individuals.

This study aim to identify preference of main and side dishes of 681 children who lived in Seoul and Gyoung-gi (Incheon) in 2007. To accomplish this, we divided the children into three age groups, an infancy group (below 6 years of age), a middle years group (between 7 and 12 years of age) and a juvenile group (above 12 years of age). Specifically, 145 children were in the infancy group (boys 68, girls 77), 300 children were in middle years group (boys 138, girls 162) and 236 children were in juveniles group (boys 131, girls 105). The average body mass index (BMI) of the parents of the respondents appeared to be normal, and the majority of the parents had bachelor degrees. Across all age groups, most fathers were office workers and most mothers were housewives. The preference for staple foods showed that the infancy group and the middle years group preferred rice the most, while the juvenile group preferred stir-fried rice the most out of 5 grain items. Evaluation of the preference for different types of noodles showed that both boys and girls from the infancy group preferred jajangmyun, while those in the middle years group and the juvenile group preferred spaghetti. For breads, both boys and girls from the infancy group had the highest preference for cake, while boys and girls in the middle years group and boys in the juvenile group preferred pizza the most, and girls from juvenile group preferred cake the most. Evaluation of the preference for soups and pot stew revealed that both boys and girls in the infancy group preferred seaweed soup, while boys from middle years group preferred seol-long-tang and girls from middle years group preferred seaweed soup. Boys and girls from the juvenile group preferred seol-long-tang the most. For hard-boiled foods and stir-fried foods, members of all age groups preferred beef boiled in soy sauce the most and hard-boiled peppers the least. Finally, comparison of the preference for roasted foods, seasoned vegetables and kimchi revealed that the infancy group preferred roasted seaweed the most and that both the middle years and juvenile group had the greatest preference for roasted galbi.
