The aim of this study was to find out the rapid fermentation of soy sauce from koji hydrolyzate using column type reactor packed with immobilized yeast cells. Each immobilized cell of Zygosaccharomyces rouxii BH-90 and Candida versatilis BH-91 in the packed column type reactor produced 2.8% ethyl alcohol and 18mg/l 4-ethylguaiacol over 96 hours under the optimal condition. Continuous fermentation was performed by immobilized Z. rouxii BH-90 packed in column type reactor. Immobilized Z. rouxii BH-90 produced 2.30~2.85% ethyl alcohol during 30 days, and decreased gradually from 40 days to 80 days. Also C. versatilis BH-91 produced 4-ethylguaiacol at the constant rate of 16~18mg/l and decreased gradually after 40 days. Final product of soy sauce contained 2.8% ethyl alcohol and 18mg/l 4-ethylguaiacol. However, amino acid compositions of final products were consisted of predominantly glutamic acid, leucine, arginine, aspartic acid, lysine and valine, which were more than 50% of total amino acid.

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.

We developed a kind of soy-based sauce for stews using three recipes and sensory evaluation processes, and examined the biological activities such as antioxidative, fibrinolytic and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activities of hot water extract of Cornus officinalis S. et Z in order to use as functional ingredient. The developed stew was composed of soy sauce $1\frac{1}{2}$ Tbsp, sugar $1\frac{1}{4}$ Tbsp, garlic, small green onion, powdered sesame and sesame seed oil $\frac{1}{2}$ tsp, respectively, ginger extract $\frac{1}{4}$ tsp, black pepper $\frac{1}{8}$ and water $\frac{2}{3}$C per 300 g of main ingredients(pork rib, chicken and dried pollack). It was evaluated more highly acceptable than the original recipes by sensory test. Replacement of water in the recipe of the developed stew sauce with hot water extract of Cornus officinalis S. et Z did' nt affect the sensory quality. From the above results. we concluded that hot water extract of Cornus officinalis S. et Z might be a excellent source to provide health functionality.

Three kinds of soy sauce were prepared using the brick type of conventional meju (A), the brick type of meju of Aspergillus oryzae (B), and the grain type of meju of Aspergillus oryzae (C) in summer. Free amino acids were analyzed in according to aging time of those products. Findings are as follows. Lysine, histidine, serine, glycine, valine, methionine, and phenylalanine were detected in all kinds of soy sauce at the beginning preparation. Aspertic acid, glutamic acid, alanine, threonine, arginine, and leucine were detected during 90 days. Isoleucine and tyrosine were detected during 180 days. Lysine and histidine were shown higher content among the detected free amino acids. The each content of glutamic acid, aspartic acid, and methionine was decreased in passing the aging time. The total content of free amino acids was shown 3,559-4,119 mg/100 ml at the 180 days. The total content of free amino acids of soy sauce C was higher than that of other soy sauces.

Epidemiologic studies consistently demonstrate an inverse relationship between risk for colon canter and consumption of fruits and vegetables. Wheat bran, flax and soy contain dietary fiber and phytochemicals, such as lignans and isoflavones, that may inhibit colon carcinogenesis. Orange juice contains hesperidin, a flavanone glucoside that protects against colon carcinogenesis. This study determined if feeding orange juice, wheat bran, soy and flaxseed (combined diet) would inhibit azoxymethane (AOM) induced colon cancer. Cancer was initiated in male Fisher 344 rats by injecting 15 mg AOM/kg of weight at 22 and 29 days of age. One week after the second AOM injection, rats (N = 30) in the combined diet group received dry diet containing wheat bran (4%), soy with ethanol soluble phytochemirals(13%) and flaxseed (8%) and orange juice replaced drinking water. The control group remained on the control diet and received distilled water to drink. The rats were killed 28 weeks later, and colon tissues and tumors were removed for histologic analysis. Feeding the combined diet significantly reduced tumor incidence (p < 0.05), however tumor multiplicity was not changed (p > 0.05, 0.9 tumors/rat fed the combined diet vs 1.2 for controls). Also, tumor burden was only marginally reduced in rats fed the combined diet vs control rats (65 vs 210 mg of tumor/rats, respectively). The reduction in tumor incidence was associated with a decreased labeling index and proliferation zone in normal appearing colon mucosa. Therefore, this study shows that phytochemicals in wheat bran, soy, flax and orange juice reduce colon carcinogenesis, presumably by decreasing cell proliferation and enhancing cell differentiation.

To produce rapidly the traditional Kanjang soy sauce-like product with rich flavors, lactic acid bacteria of Enterococcus spp. isolated from Chungkukjang was used as one of starter cultures. Among 119 Enterococcus spp., eight strains were selected by protease-secreting activities and identified as four E. faecium, three E. faecalis, and one E. gallinarium. The strains showed low resistances toward eight antibiotics and had no resistant genes to the vancomycin. Especially, E. faecium O24 was cultivated well on 5% NaCl medium that was selected for further study as the starter. E. faecium O24 grew well on the steamed soybean and the counts increased by ten times overnight, which produced mostly 80 mg% glutamic acid and aspartic acid as the seasoning amino acids on the product. Various organic acids including principal lactic acid were also produced. Flavors of maltol and guaiacol, typical soy-sauce flavor, were produced in the mixed cultures of Zygosaccharomyces rouxii and Candida versatilis. Therefore, E. faecium O24 could be a starter of soybean fermentation for soy sauce-like product with rich flavors rapidly.

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 present study was designed to develop the standardized formula for the preparation Jeung-Pyun with added raw soy flour and to investigate the applicability of Jeung-Pyun as the substitute of regular pizza crust made with wheat flour. The effect of adding raw soy flour at 3%, 5% level on fermentation time and viscosity of batters and texture and general desirability of Jeung-Pyun pizza were also studied. As the level of raw soy flour was increased the time required for 1 st and 2nd fermentation decreased and viscosity of batters increased significantly. Jeung-Pyun crust after steaming found to have appropriate texture and form for a substitute of wheat flour pizza crust. Texture parameters determined by QST showed that Jeung-Pyun crust with added raw soy flour had lower values in hardness, cohesiveness and gumminess without any significant difference. However, chewiness of 5% raw soy flour group was significantly lower than control group. Texture of Jeung-Pyun crust and general desirability of Jeung-Pyun pizza were determined by sensory evaluation. Textural parameters of Jeung-Pyun crust were evaluated on the basis of hardness, cohesiveness, adhesiveness, tenderness and wetness. As a result of sensory evaluation Jeung-Pyun crust made with 5% raw soy flour had significant lower values in hardness, cohesiveness, tenderness and wetness than the control. However, the textural parameters between control and 3 % raw soy flour group were not significantly different. Jeung-Pyun pizza with topping were evaluated by sensory panel. Jeung-Pyun pizza made with 3% raw soy flour received the highest score in apperance and general desirability without any significant difference. 5% raw soy flour group had significantly lower score in general desirability among 3 treatment groups. In conclusion, Jeung-Pyun crust made by traditional Jeung-Pyun preparation method will be a good alternative to replace wheat flour pizza crust. Adding raw soy flour at 3% level did not affect the quality of Jeung-Pyun crust and had an effect of promoting fermentation. Jeung-Pyun Pizza crust was expected to have tender texture and slower retrogradation rate than regular pizza crust with wheat flour.

This study addresses the development of a soy hamburger patty containing enzyme-treated textured soy protein (TSP) as a meat analogue. In order to reduce the beany flavor and enhance the texture, TSP was treated with 0.3% Flavourzyme for 5, 10, 20, or 30 min. The degree of hydrolysis and the water holding capacity of the TSP increased with increasing hydrolysis time. The oil binding capacity of the TSP also increased with increasing hydrolysis time, approaching the maximal value, 175.82%, at 30 min, whereas that of pork scored with the lowest value of 128.67%. The volume of pork was reduced to 81.5% as the result of heat treatment, whereas that of the TSP increased to 140.57%. The values of 'L', 'b', and '${\Delta}E$' differed significantly (p<0.001) with heat treatment, but the 'a' values did not differ significantly. With regard to texture, the hardness values were highest in the pork hamburger patty (PHP), and were lowest in the soy hamburger patty (SHP) containing untreated TSP. The hardness of the SHP containing TSP treated for 20 min did not differ significantly from that of the PHP. The cohesiveness and gumminess of the SHP treated for 20 min were highest, whereas those treated for 10 min were the lowest. The gumminess of the SHP treated for 20 min did not differ significantly from that of pork. The chewiness of the PHP was the highest, whereas that of the SHP treated for 5 min was the lowest. In our sensory evaluation, PHP evidenced the highest scores, followed by the SHP treated for 30 min, as color, texture, beany flavor, and overall quality all improved as the consequence of increasing enzyme treatment duration. In conclusion, it is believed that SHP has great potential as a substitute for meat, in that the flavor, texture, and beany flavor of SHP did not differ significantly from those of PHP.
