This study was conducted to investigate the effect of fat on gain percent, yield and sensory properties of soybean curd by partial or whole replacement of soybean with defatted soy flour, The results obtained were as follows ; 1. Gain percent and yield of soybean curds were decreased as the fat content of materials decreased. 2. In sensory evaluation, the mean scores for appearance (color and smoothness), texture and acceptability significantly decreased as the ratio of defatted soy flour to soybean increased. However, when the defatted soy flour replaced 20 and 30％ of the soybean, the mean acceptability scores did not differ significantly with whole soybean curd. From the above data, if defatted soy flour will be used for making soybean curds with the aspect of sensory and economic reasons, 25％ level of replacement can be recommended.

Soy curd was prepared using imported soybean(U.S.grade A) and changes in quality were evaluated using different types and mixtures of coagulants(CaCl$_2$, CaSO$_4$, MgCl$_2$, MgSO$_4$, and glucono-$\delta$-lactone). Quality of soy curd was determined by rheological properties, yield, and color. Based upon the characteristics of each coagulant, mixtures of two coagulants were prepared in various ratios. The mixture of CaSO$_4$or MgCl$_2$with glucono-$\delta$-lactone(GDL), and that of CaSO$_4$or MgCl$_2$with MgSO$_4$resulted in soy curd of good quality in terms of rheological properties and yield.

Salt (NaCl) is one of the most important main source of sodium in our diet. However, health concerns related to salt overconsumption have led to an increased demand for salt-reduced food. The objective of this study was to investigate the possibility of the use of fermented soy sauce to reduce the level of salt in foods. The contents of sodium in bean sprout soup and chicken rice porridge prepared with salt were $1.59{\pm}0.05$ and $1.89{\pm}0.03g/L$, respectively. Whereas, the sodium content range of the same samples prepared with soy sauce were $0.38{\pm}0.01-1.54{\pm}0.02$ and $0.37{\pm}0.00-1.44{\pm}0.01g/L$, respectively. Paired difference test between control and various soy sauce samples was used to provide the amount of soy sauce needed to replace salt without changing the overall taste and intensity. The results showed that sodium reduction (22.0-69.3%) could be achieved in tested foods with the fermented soy sauce.

This study was to examine the quality characteristics of Cedrela shoots according to soy sauce conditions. First, the results were on solid samples (pickled Cedrela sinensis shoot) as follows: The pH and acidity of Cedrela shoots tended to decrease slightly in the licorice added section. The sugar content and salinity of Cedrela shoots tended to decrease gradually during the storage period. The color values of Cedrela shoots tended to change from green to dark green due to soy sauce as their storage periods. The texture of Cedrela shoots had differences according to their unique characteristics, but the change was small in the licorice added section. The overall preference appeared most high in P1-1. Next, the results were on Liquid samples (soy sauce) as follows: The pH and acidity of soy sauce tended to decrease gradually during the storage period. The sugar content and salinity did not change a lot. Microorganisms were not detected during the storage period in the established conditions. Therefore, the conditions for quality changes about pickling soy sauce during the storage period have been established and it can be anticipated to commercialize various pickle food using Cedrela shoots.

Breastfeeding has been known as the best feeding practice to prevent allergies including atopic dermatitis (AD) However, the benefit on the prevention of allergic disease is still controversial. The objectives of this study were to examine the rate of sensitization to the protein of eggs, cow's milk and soy in exclusively breastfed infants and to evaluate antigen-antibody reaction between breast milk and serum of AD infant. Data on feeding and food hypersensitivity were obtained for 62 AD infants (32 male, 30 female) aged < 6 month who had visited Samsung Medical Center from September 2001 to May 2003. Food hypersensitivity was determined by measuring specific IgE to egg, cow's milk and soy. Specific IgE levels > 0.7 kU/L by CAP assay (Pharmacia, Uppsala, Sweden) were considered positive. The rates of sensitization in breastfed infants were $41.9\%$ (26/62) to egg, $30.6\%$ (19/62) to milk and $18.0\%$ (11/62) to soy. Immunoblotting analyses were performed using breast milk with the matched serum of seven AD infants (4 male/3 female). Binding patterns of AD infant's IgE to breast milk extract showed visible specific band for immunoglobulin, especially in case of a lactating mother who did not completely restricted ingestion of egg, milk and soy. These results indicate that sensitization to food allergen develops via breast milk feeding. Breast milk feeding should be recommended in infants at risk of developing allergic disease, but maternal intake of highly allergenic food might be restricted for prevention and treatment of food allergy among the babies with AD.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-$CO_2$) treatment on meat quality and sensory evaluation of marinated pork. Meat marinated in two traditional Korean marinades, soy sauce and hot-pepper paste, and raw marinated meat were then treated with 7.4, 12.2, or 15.2 MPa $CO_2$ at $31.1^{\circ}C$for 10 min. The SC-$CO_2$ treatments had no effect on the meat pH (p>0.05) or Warner-Bratzler shear force (p>0.05). There was no significant difference (p>0.05) in the total loss (sum of treatment loss and cooking loss) between the control and SC-$CO_2$ treated samples at 15.2 MPa (soy sauce marinated pork: 21.78 vs. 18.97%; hot-pepper marinated pork: 21.61 vs. 18.01%). After the SC-$CO_2$ treatment, lighter surface colors were observed in the treatment samples compared to those of the control samples (p< 0.001). However, tasting panelists were unable to distinguish a difference in color or in overall acceptability of the control and treatment (p>0.05). In the case of soy sauce marinated pork, when SC-$CO_2$ applied at 15.2 MPa and $31.1^{\circ}C$for 10 min, treatment samples showed a tenderer meat than the control samples. Therefore, the SC-$CO_2$ treatment conditions had no adverse effects on the sensory quality characteristics of the marinated meat products.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the characteristics of Chinese foods in main ingredients, sauces, and cooking methods, and to assess the applicability of kochujang in Chinese foods. Twenty Chinese foods and commercial kochujang were selected by a Chinese head cook. The main ingredients were 24 kinds such as pork, chicken, shrimp, bok choy, bean curd, Chinese noodles etc., which were generally used in Korean foods. The main Chinese sauces were 11 kinds, and soy sauce was used in 12 foods, shang loo tau soy sauce in 2, wine in 8, oyster sauce in 7, rice wine in 6. The classification of cooking units in all Chinese foods was performed and the cooking frequency was deep frying>pan frying>boiling>stir frying>steaming>roasting. The proper amount of kochujang (weight ratio) was decided by pre-test of the Chinese head cook and Chinese food added kochujang was assessed by a Chinese focus group. The overall preference of Chinese food added kochujang was assessed highly and was related to the kinds of sauces, and to the kinds of main ingredients. The foods which used soy sauce or shang loa tau soy sauce were preferred. Sweetness by using kochujang wasn't preferred in several foods. Saltiness and aftertaste by using kochujang didn't affect the food preference, and the intensity of color and pungency were evaluated as a moderate level. An increased amount of kochujang would be possible in several foods. However, the increase in the amount of kochujang for intensive color and pungency in Chinese foods was directly related to the increase of sweetness, which had been discussed as the main problem in lowering the preference. Therefore, the screening of various Chinese foods harmonized with kochujang and the determination of the proper mixing ratio with Chinese sauces are very important. The results of this study could be used as basic data for the promotion of kochujang consumption in the Chinese market.

Soy and soy foods are a rich source of isoflavones, which possess several biological activities. The effect of soy isoflavones, genistin and diadzin and their respective aglycones, on glucose uptake in adipocytes isolated from normal or high-fat fed rats was examined. As expected, insulin stimulated glucose uptake in a concentration-dependent manner. However, genistin and daidzin and their aglycones inhibited glucose uptake in a concentration-dependent (25-100μM) manner. In a time-course response, the aglycones significantly inhibited glucose uptake throughout 3 hr (after 30, 60, 120, 180 min), whereas the glycones only significantly inhibited the glucose uptake after 120 min and 180 min in the isolated rat adipocytes. Thus, the glucosides of genistein and daidzein, i.e. genistin and daidzin, were much less effective in inhibiting glucose uptake than their aglycones. In addition, genistin and daidzin did not significantly affect the insulin-stimulated glucose uptake, whereas genistein and daidzein did significantly inhibited glucose uptake compared to the vehicle control group by 47.5% and 24.8%, respectively (p < 0.05). The isoflavones also significantly inhibited glucose uptake in adipocytes isolated from rats fed a high-fat diet (50% of total calorie intake) when compared to the vehicle control. Finally, the isoflavones were found to enhance lipolysis in adipocytes isolated from high-fat fed rats, where the glycerol released by the aglycones was also higher than that released by the glycones. The current results showed that the inhibitory effect of daidzein on glucose uptake was very similar to that of genistein. The aglycones were more potent in inhibiting the uptake of glucose and a more potent stimulator of lypolysis than the glycones in adipocytes isolated from high-fat fed rats.

Ultrafiltration was applied for the production of soy-oligosaccharides from bean cooking water(BCW), a by-product recovered in soymilk processing. The ultrafiltration of BCW on a membrane of 20,000 cutoff molecular weight recovered most oligosaccharides as permeate with concomitant removal of protein at 40% when volume concentration ratio(VCR) exceeded 5.0. When the VCR exceeded 5.0, membrane rejection value(MRV) for protein started to increase slowly while the MRV for sugar showed a sharp increasing trend showing 6.57% at VCR 5.0 and 19.96% at VCR 10. The optimum VCR based upon the MRV's was 5.0. Maximum recovery of soy-oligosaccharides was, however, obtained at VCR 10.0.

In order to utilize okara protein as a food auditive, nutritional composition of soymilk okara was investigated. Protein in okara Is highly insoluble due to excessive heat treatment during soymilk processing. Protein content of okara was 37.3% as compared to 42.5 % for soybean. Carbohydrate and lipid contents of okara were 40.6% and 17.9%, respectively. Okara lipid extracted with chloroform-methanol consisted of neutral lipid, glycolipid and phospholipid, with neutral lipid making up 98.6% . Linoleic acid, ileic acid, and palmitic acids accounted for about 80% of the total fatty acids with linoleic acid sharing 50.3% of the total. Amino acid composition of okara protein was dissimilar to that of soy Protein : Cysteine was totally absent in okara while lysine, which is the limiting amino acid of soy protein, was present in higher amount in okara on dry weight basis. Both aqueous extract of okara protein and soy Protein were found to have ACE inhibitory activity.
