To improve the water resistance and physical properties of soy protein isolate (SPI)-coated paper, effects of concentrations of soy protein isolate and plasticizer were examined. Physical properties such as elongation strength (ES), elongation rate (E), water vapor permeability (WVP), and water solubility (WS) were evaluated. The film made from 5% soy protein isolate (SPI) and 40% glycerol (plasticizer) suggested a good application for a film preparation. SPI coated paper showed the highest ES (21.62 MPa) and the lowest WVP $(2.06ng{\cdot}m/m^2{\cdot}s{\cdot}Pa)$ and WS (1.17%). This study suggested that soy protein isolate (SPI) can be used as a coating material for the coated paper to improve the water resistance.

Two types of formaldehyde-treated soy protein isolate (SPI) films, formaldehyde-incorporated and formaldehyde-adsorbed films, and control SPI films were prepared. Cross-linking effect of formaldehyde on selected film properties such as color, tensile strength (TS), elongation at break (E), water vapor permeability (WVP), and water solubility (WS) were determined. Physical properties of formaldehyde-incorporated films were not geneally different from those of control films, while almost all of those among formaldehyde-adsorbed films were significantly different. Through cross-linking development within formaldehyde-adsorbed films, WS decreased significantly (P<0.05) from 26.1% to 16.6%, and TS increased two times while E decreased two times compared with control films. This was caused by insolubilization and hardening of protein by cross-linking most likely attributed to the significant changes in properties of protein films reacted with formaldehyde.

본 연구는 콩을 이용한 가공식품개발을 목적으로 두유 가열시 기액 표면에 형성되는 SPLF의 제조조건과 이화학적인 특성에 대하여 연구하였다. 고형분이 각각 4.9%, 6.2%, 7.45%, 9.01%인 두유를 $95\pm1^{\circ}C의$ 수욕상에서 가열하면서 순차적으로 얻어지는 SPLF의 중량과 두께를 측정한 결과 고형분이 높은 것일수록 우수하였으며, 시간당 SPLF의 생성률은 고형분에 따라 다른 경향을 보이는 데 높은 고형분에서는 가온 초기에는 생성률이 크나 그 이후 감소하는 경향을 보였다. SPLF의 색도는 걷는 횟수가 증가할수록 흰색은 감소하고 적색과 황색은 증가하여 색차($\Delta$E)가 증가하였다. SPLF의 hardness는 고형분 6.20%인 두유로부터 4번째 걷어진 sheet에서 크게 나타났다. SPLF의 일반성분 분석 결과 단백질의 함량은 3, 4, 5번째 채취한 것이 높았고 지방은 점차 감소하는 경향을 보였으나 탄수화물과 회분은 증가하는 경향을 보였고 SPLF의 주성분인 단백질과 지질의 비는 증가하였으며 당질은 그 함유 비율이 점점 커졌다. 원료콩과 비교한 유리당의 이행률의 분석한 결과, 걷는 횟수에 따라 증가하여 서당은 97%가, stachyose와 raffinose는 각각 89%, 49%가 이행되었다.

To investigate the effect of soy protein film packaging on the quality of beef, the rate of weight loss, pH, 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS), and microbial (total bacterial count) Salmonella spp., E. coli changes were determined during storage. Beef samples were packaged with soy protein film containing rosemary extract and then stored at $4^{\circ}C$. Soy protein film was effective on prevention of weight loss, compared with the control, regardless of addition of rosemary extract. Change in pH of soy protein films containing the rosemary extract (RPF) was less during storage, compared with the control. Packaging of beef products with RPF inhibited lipid oxidation by $86\%$ at day 8 of storage, compared to the control. RPF packaging also affected the microbial growth, resulting in retardation of total bacteria by more than 1 log cycle. These results indicate that storage of beef packaged with RPF should be appropriate in terms of quality as well as shelf-life.

In order to extend shelf-life of the packaged or coated foods, an antibacterial edible film was developed. Antimicrobial activities of 9 bacteriocin-like substance (BLS)­producing strains were evaluated after growing them on defatted soybean meal medium (DSMM). Bacillus subtilis was selected among those, because it showed the biggest inhibition zone against 6 problem bacteria in food. The antimicrobial edible film, containing $0.32\%$ of BLS, was produced from the fermented soybean meal with B. subtilis at the optimum condition of pH 7.0-7.5 and $33^{\circ}C$ for 33 h. The antimicrobial activity of the film was over $50\%$ of the maximum activity after film production with heat treatment at $90^{\circ}C$ and pH adjustment to 9. When the soy protein film with BLS was applied on the agar media containing E. coli, the growth inhibition was much higher than the ordinary soy protein film. These results indicate that the soy protein film with BLS from B. subtilis can be used as a new packaging material to extend the shelf-life of foods.

Edible films were developed from defatted soybean meal (DSM), a byproduct from the soy product industry, investigating the effects of the concentrations of DSM and glycerol and the treatment of high pressure homogenization (HPH) on color, water vapor permeability, and tensile properties of the films. The physical properties of the developed films (DSM films) were compared to those of the films made of soy proteins isolated from the DSM. DSM films were obtained by drying film-forming solutions prepared with DSM powder, glycerol, and water and with and without HPH at 152 MPa. HPH resulted in the formation of continuous and uniform films. Water vapor permeability of the films increased with increase in the concentration of glycerol and decreased by high pressure homogenization. The increase in the glycerol concentration in the film-forming solution prepared without HPH decreased the tensile strength and elastic modulus of the films. However, this effect was not observed with the HPH-treated solution. DSM films possessed higher tensile strength and percentage elongation than the film of soy protein, implying the potential for the DSM film to be applied to food product as an edible film.

Soy protein isolate (SPI)-based nanocomposite films with three different types of nanoclays, such as Cloisite $Na^+$, Cloisite 20A, and Cloisite 30B, were prepared using a solution casting method, and their optical, tensile, and water vapor barrier properties were determined to investigate the effect of nano-clay type on film properties. Among the tested nanoclays, Cloisite $Na^+$, a hydrophilic montmorillonite (MMT), exhibited the highest transparency with least opaqueness, the highest tensile strength, and the highest water vapor barrier properties, indicating Cloisite $Na^+$ is the most compatible with SPI polymer matrix to form nanocomposite films. The film properties of SPI/Cloisite $Na^+$ nanocomposite films were strongly dependent on the concentration of the clay. Film properties such as optical, tensile, and water vapor barrier properties improved significantly (p<0.05) as the concentration of clay increased. However, the effectiveness of addition of the clay reduced above a certain level (i.e., 5wt%), indicating that there is an optimum amount of clay addition to exploit the full advantage of nanocmposite films.

Soy protein isolate (SPI) film was laminated with corn zein or wheat gluten to improve functional properties. Both SPI/corn zein-laminated film (Film B) and SPI/wheat gluten-laminated film (Film C) showed increased tensile strength by 150%, compared to control (Film A). Film C showed significant 253% increase in percentage elongation. Water vapor permeability (WVP) of Films B and C decreased slightly compared to Film A. Solubility values of Films B and C were lower than that of Film A. Hunter color values of Films A and C were not significantly different, while Film B showed yellowness due to presence of corn zein. These results suggest SPI/wheat gluten-laminated film is suitable as packaging material.

A novel, simple and totally recyclable method has been developed for the synthesis of nontoxic, biocompatible and biodegradable bio-composite films from soy protein and silk protein. Bio films are defined as flexible films prepared from biological materials such as protein. These materials have potential application in medical and food as a packaging material. Their use depends on various parameters such as mechanical (strength and modulus), thermal, among others. In this study, prepare and characterization of bio films made from Soy Protein Isolate (SPI) (matrix) and Silk Fiber (SF) (reinforcement) through solution casting method by the addition of plasticizer and crosslinking agent. The obtained SPI and SPI/SF composites were subsequently subjected to evaluate their mechanical and thermal properties by using Universal Testing Machine and Thermal Gravimetric Analyzer respectively. The tensile testing showed significant improvements in strength with increasing amount of SF content and the % elongation at break of the composites of the SPI/SF was lower than that of the matrix. Though the interfacial bonding was moderate, the improvement in tensile strength and modulus was attributed to the higher tensile properties of the silk fiber.

Soy protein isolate (SPI) films were supplemented with cinnamaldehyde (CA) at concentrations of 0.1-0.5 mL/5 g SPI. The effects of CA on film color, tensile strength (TS), percent elongation at break (E, %) and water vapor permeability (WVP) of SPI films were investigated. Generally, total color difference (${\Delta}E$), WVP, and TS of SPI films increased gradually, while E and TSM decreased significantly (p<0.05) as the amount of cinnamaldehyde in the SPI films increased. Cinnamaldehyde can be used as a potential cross-linking agent for preparing SPI films by improving mechanical strength and water resistant properties.
