Effect of freezing of soybeans on instrumental and sensory textures of soybean curd was investigated. The hardness, gumminess and chewiness of soybean curd prepared with frozen soybeans were about three times as high as those prepared with unfrozen soybeans, while cohesiveness and elasticity were affected little by freezing. Sensory evaluation showed that freezing improved the quality of soybean curd. Instrumental and sensory textures of soybean curd prepared with frozen soybeans were excellent and almost same regardless of the boiling time when the soy slurry was boiled for 2.5 min or 5 min. However, the textures of soybean curd prepared with unfrozen soybeans were deteriorated by reducing the boiling time to 2.5 min. It was postulated that freezing facilitate the heat-denaturation of soyprotein to enhance aggregation of soy proteins and formation of cross-linkage between aggregate and $Ca^{++}$. Frozen soybeans resulted in soybean curd which lower fat content, while protein content of soybean curd was almost he same. Frozen soybeans gave a lower yield of soybean curd, which is supposed to be caused by the more fat loss during whey-off.

Sprassis crispa was cultivated using soybean curd whey, and its antimicrobial activities were examined against those of eight microorganisms that were foodborne pathogens or food-poisoning bacteria. The culture broth of soybean curd whey was superior in mycelium content (17.76 g/L) to that of the defined culture broth, and the ${\beta}$-glucan content was about 10.64 percent (w/w). The antimicrobial activities of the culture broth were confirmed against those of B. cereus, St. aureus, L. monocytogenes and S. typhimurium using the paper disk method. The antimicrobial activity was also maintained after the heat treatment and alcalase treatment. The filtrate with less than 3 kDa M.W. also showed the antimicrobial activity against four strains: B. cereus, St. aureus, L. monocytogenes and S. typhimurium. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was about 1.26 mg/mL in the B. cereus and 12.6 mg/mL in the St. aureus and L. monocytogenes. The S. typhimurium showed a MIC of 62.8 mg/mL. Thus, the culture of Sparassis crispa using soybean curd whey provides a thermally stable antimicrobial agent that can be used as a natural preservative in the biofood industry.

Soybean curd whey(SCW) containing plenty of nutrients is the discarded by-product in soybean curd processing. To test the potential utilization of SCW as a medium for the cultivation of Lactobacilus acidophilus, the chemical composition of SCW, as well as the growth, acid production, acid-tolerance, and bile-tolerance of L. acidophilus in SCW-based media were investigated. Sucrose and stachyose, the main free sugars of SCW, were 0.42% and 0.41%, respectively. SCW contained 36.1mg/L of total free amino acids. L. acidophilus KFRI 150 showed lower cell growth and acid production in SCW than those in MRS broth. In optimized SCW-based medium supplemented with 1.0% glucose, 0.5% yeast extract, and 0.2% $K_{2}HPO_{4}$, the growth and acid production of L. acidophilus KFRI 150 increased by twice against those in SCW. In optimized SCW-based medium, the viable counts of four L. acidophilus strains were mostly at the level of $10^{9}$/ml, which is similar to those in MRS broth. Each acid-tolerance and biletolerance of four L. acidophilus strains cultured in optimized SCW-based medium and MRS broth showed no dist-inguishable difference.

Alcohol fermentation was carried out by using the yeast (S. cerevisiae) and soybean whey as the sole carbon source. The whey was gained form waste after manufacturing of soybean curd. The whey contained approximately one gram sugar per hundred mililter and the sugar was consisted of a 65 per cent of reducing sugar. However, it showed a low protein content of 43mg per the same volume. Ammonium sulfate showed the best effect on the generation of carbon dioxide among three kinds of tested nitrogen sourogen sources, potassium nitrate, urea and ammonium sulfate. Thus, fermentation was carried out with supplement of 2.0g ammonium sulfate to one liter of soybean whey. During fermentation continued for 48 hours, the maximum amount of ethanol 1.86g was produced from one liter of soybean whey. The ethanol fermentation utilized 81 and 94% of its initial sugar and protein contents, respectively.

The effects of membrane type, temperature and pH on the permeate flux and removal of soluble solids from soybean curd whey by reverse osmosis were studied at recommended pressures for optimum performance of the membranes. The fluxes obtained with HR 95 and HR 98 membranes at 60 bar were not lower than that with CA 930 membrane at 20 bar. Soluble solid content in the permeate increased to 1.5 Brix after 90 min by CA 930 membrane, as opposed to 0 Brix with the HR 95 and HR 98 membranes. Permeate flux was increased by 28.4% as operation temperature increased from $30^{\circ}C$ to $50^{\circ}C$. COD of the whey was rejected up to 80.5%, 99.7% and 99.5% by using the membranes of CA 930, HR 95 and HR 98, respectively. pH adjustment of the whey resulted in decreasing membrane performance. But the rejection rate of COD in permeate with HR 98 membrane was slightly increased to 99.9% when the pH was adjusted to 7.0.

This study was carried out in order to investigate the feasibility of utilizing concentrated sunmul (soybean curd whey), which is a waste by-product of soybean curd processing, as a functional food ingredient. Sunmul Powder was concentrated by ultrafiltration and spray dried with or without dextrin. Oil adsorption capacity of UF retentate powder was similar to that of ISP (Isolated Soy Protein) and higher than that of sunmul powder, whereas water holding capacity of UF retentate powder was lower than that of ISP. Protein solubility of all types of UF retentate powder was significantly higher than that of ISP at pH 2.0-10.0 with the lowest protein solubility seen at pH 4.0 and solubility increasing as the conditions became more acidic or alkaline. Emulsifying activity indexes of UF retentate powder at pH 2.0-10.0 were not influenced by pH. Emulsion stability of 4% sunmul solution was lowest at pH 4.0, but that of UF retentate powder was higher at acidic pH values and decreased with increasing pH. Foaming capacities of sunmul and UF retentate powder were high at pH 4.0-6.0, but the foam of UF retentate powder disappeared within 20 minutes in all conditions of pH.

As a way of utilizing cheese whey to fortify sulfur-bearing amino acids to soybean protein, whey-soybean coagulum was made from whey-soy milk mixture and optimum conditions for coprecipitation of the two proteins were determined. Mixture of whey and soymilk in 1 : 1 volume ratio was coagulated at $0.005{\sim}0.5M$ of $CaCl_2$ concentration, pH $1.5{\sim}8.0$, and at $60{\sim}100^{\circ}C$, and absorbance at 500nm of filtrate from the coagulum was measured. Optimum conditions for the coprecipitation were 0.0125M of $CaCl_2$ concentration, pH $6.5\sim7.5$, and $70{\sim}80^{\circ}C$ which resulted in the minimum absorbance and also good physical properties of the curd.

To prepare soybean curds, the concentration of $CaCl_2,\;MgCl_2,\;CaSO_4$ and glucono-%{\delta}$-lactone fresh solution as coagulants were determined by transmittance of whey using spectrophotometer. The concentrations of four coagulants at which the transmittance had the highest value were chosen. Moisture content, yield and protein recovery of soybean curds prepared with four coagulants were investigated. The textural properties were examined by Instron Universal Testing Machine, and sensory evaluation was carried out. The microstructure of soybean curds was examined by SEM. Soybean curds obtained with $CaCl_2\;and\;MgCl_2$ were hard and coarse, and had roasted nutty taste, whereas those with $CaSO_4$ and GDL revealed very smooth, soft and uniform. Soybean curd prepared with GDL had the lowest acceptability because of sour taste. The texture and acceptability of soybean curds were influenced by the type of coagulant.

To investigate effectors on the colloidal stability of whey and soybean proteins, characteristics of tofu-gel formation, effects of heat treatment and salt composition on the colloidal stability, and effects of heat treatment on storage stability were analyzed. When experimental tofus were made from the mixture of whey and soybean, the calcium in the whey precipitated the soy proteins, and disrupted the gel formation, which resulted in the curd of poor texture. In the heat treatment at $60{\sim}100^{\circ}C$, whey and the whey proteins dialyzed against distilled water were readily preciptated at over $70^{\circ}C$, but the mixture of whey and soy extract as well as soy extract were stable at the range of temperature. The proteins of soy extract, whey dialyzed against sodium phosphate buffer, and the mixture were stable at the same heat treatment, and this suggested that phosphates in the soy extract stabilize specialty the whey proteins. Soy proteins were easily destabilized by adding $CaCl_2(0.05{\sim}0.07M)$ at $80{\circ}C$ and $70{\sim}85%$ of the proteins in soy extract and the mixture were preciptated, while only $30{\sim}55%$ of the proteins in whey dialyzed against distilled water were destabilized at the same conditions. Storage stability at $4^{\circ}C$ of the mixture was increased when the mixture was treated at $63^{\circ}C$ and lower temperature.
