The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics of Garaedduk with regard to the amount of added whole soybean curd (Chun-Tofu). Whole soybean curd was added in amounts of 0, 3, 6 and 9%. Whole soybean curd Topokki dduk was stored at room temperature for 48 hours. The moisture contents had no significant difference for increases in the amount of whole soybean curd. The L value and b values of Garaedduk increased significantly with increases in the amount of whole soybean curd. Texture characteristics of Garaedduk measured with a texture analyzer revealed that hardness and cohesiveness decreased significantly for different amounts of whole soybean curd, and hardness increased significantly and cohesiveness and chewiness decreased with increase of storage time. As for sensory characteristics, samples with 9% added whole soybean curd rated higher in overall acceptability compared with other samples. In regard to cooking properties, water absorption increased and solid contents decreased with increases in the amount of whole soybean curd. Therefore, Garaedduk containing 9% whole soybean curd was most preferable.

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.

This study investigated the effect of soybean-curd residues as an ingredient of the formulated diet for juvenile flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus). Three replicates of juvenile fish (averaging weight $1.5\pm0.04\;g$) were fed one of four isonitrogenous $(50\%)$ diets containing $0\%,\;5\%,\;10\%\;and\;15\%$ soybean-curd residues for 7 weeks. Survival, hepatosomatic index and condition factor of the fish were not affected by dietary soybean-curd residues levels. Weight gain, feed efficiency and protein efficiency ratio of the fish fed the diet containing $5\%$ soybean-curd residues were not significantly different to those of the fish fed the control diet, however these values decreased in the fish fed the $10\%\;and\;15\%$ soybean-curd residues (P<0.05). Daily feed and protein intake increased with increasing dietary soybean-curd residues level. Crude protein and lipid contents in the whole body decreased with increasing dietary soybean-curd residues, but no significant differences were observed among control, $5\%\;and\;10\%$ soybean-curd residues diets (P>0.05). Plasma total protein concentration of fish was affected by dietary soybean-curd residues levels (P<0.05). It is concluded that the soybean-curd residues as a substitute for wheat flour can be included up to $5\%$ in the diet for juvenile flounder.

We analyzed the isoflavone content of domestic soybeans during steaming, boiling, fermentation, germinating cultivation, fermentation, and soybean curd production. The isoflavone content of the beans was reduced by steaming and boiling, and overall reductions ranging from 16.0 to 65.0% of initial isoflavone values were detected. After 4 days of germinating cultivation, the total isoflavones of Eunhakong increased from 1,341 to $2,017\;{\mu}g/g$ and the total isoflavones of Guinunikong increased from 1,284 to $1,535\;{\mu}g/g$. The isoflavone content of the vinegar beans produced from Hwangkeumkong and Black No.1 increased from 1,877 to $1,956\;{\mu}g/g$, and from 885 to $1,956\;{\mu}g/g$ after 8 days of immersion in 4% acetic acid, respectively. During soybean curd production, significant amounts of isoflavones were lost in the whey (30-31 %) and soybean curd residue (15-20%). Only 37.4% of the isoflavones present in the original soybeans remained in the soybean curd with the hot extraction method, and 50.7% of them with the cold extraction method. Soybean curd prepared with whole soybean method, however, retained 80.7% of the initial isoflavones.

To prepare soybean curd utilizing effectively bioactive component of soybean, ultra fine whole soybean flour(UFWSF) was used as a soybean curd material for preparation of uncompressed whole soybean flour curd(UWSFC) in this study. The UWSFC was made with treatment by proteinase and coagulant, and proximate composition, color, textural properties and sensory evaluation of that were analyzed. Protease produced from Aspergillus sojae, bromelain and papain showed soybean curd coagulation ability and the pretense produced from Aspergillus sojae showed the highest soybean curd coagulation ability. When, after first heating and homogenizing, the proteinase was added to soybean milt textural properties of UWSFC were the best. Hunter's L and b values and textural properties (hardness, fracturability springiness, gumminess and chewiness) of UWSFC using proteinase and coagulant were higher than commercial soft soybean curd and adhesiveness and cohesiveness showed contrary tendency.

To develop functionally and nutritionally improved whole soybean curd (WSC), the effects of partial (0~4%) replacement with pine needle powder (PNP) on the quality characteristics of WSC were investigated. The moisture content and pH ranged from 76.96~77.80% (wet basis) and 6.69~6.74, respectively, with no considerable differences. Lightness significantly decreased with higher PNP content in the formulation (P<0.05), as indicated by visual observation that the color of WSC became darker. Redness and yellowness also significantly decreased (P<0.05). The texture profile analysis indicated that WSC containing PNP was softer and less cohesive than control WSC. 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) radical scavenging activities significantly increased (P<0.05) with higher substitution of PNP, and they were well correlated. Results from the consumer test revealed that WSC with 1% PLP received the most favorable acceptance scores for sensory attributes, including overall acceptability. The present study indicated that the characteristics of PNP may play a role in improving WSC quality in terms of physicochemical, sensorial, and antioxidant characteristics.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of fat on structure and texture of soybean curds by partial or whole replacement of soybean with defatted soy flour, The textural properties of soybean curd were examined by Instron universal testing machine, and the microscopic structure of soybean curds was examined by Scanning electron microscope(SEM). The results obtained were as follows ; 1. Textural parameters determined by Instron universal testing machine showed that hardness and gumminess of soybean curs were significantly increased as the fat contents of the samples decreased. On the while, springiness of the samples were significantly lowered as the fat content decreased. 2. Microscopic structure of soybean curds examined by SME demonstrated that samples with high fat had more fat globules and thinner network layer which were assumed to surround moisture with.

Soybean curd (SC) is prepared through the elimination of water-insoluble components and molding by pressing. However, whole soybean curd (WSC) is made without the elimination of water-insoluble components and pressing. Therefore, it was considered that the components contained in WSC might be different from those in SC and we compared their contents of various components, hardness, and morphological features for this study. Ash, dietary fiber, and niacin contents were significantly higher in WSC than in SC. In addition, the carbohydrate and vitamin $K_1$ contents of WSC tended to be higher than those in SC, whereas the hardness of WSC was lower than that of SC. Moreover, electron microscopic analysis showed that the morphological characteristic of WSC consisted of considerably more fine retiform tissues in comparison to SC. Based on their compared nutrition, functional, and quality characteristics, it was suggested that WSC might be superior to SC.

We manufactured rice-whole soybean curd by a microbial transglutaminase (MTGase) with a mixture of hydrolyzed rice and micronized whole soybean powder (MWSP) and analyzed its rheological properties, including texture, viscoelasticity, protein cross-linking, and surface structure. A 40% rice suspension digested with a Termamyl enzyme at $85^{\circ}C$ for 20 min showed a 9.0% reducing sugar and a consistency of $1.27\;Pa{\cdot}s^n$, resulting in a great reduction in consistency. A MWSP suspension with 22% solid content was transformed into a typical tofu texture. MWSP curd fortified with 7.5% rice showed enhanced texture properties, with a hardness of 639.6 dyne/$cm^2$, and a springiness of 0.96. In a MWSP suspension (18~22% w/v) treated with 5% MTGase, viscoelasticity increased dependently with MWSP concentration, and a 22% MWSP indicated a G' value of 5.1 Pa and a G'' value of 9.0 Pa. Furthermore, soybean proteins present in the 22% MWSP curd largely disappeared or formed polymers with a high molecular weight by MTGase reaction within 30 min. MWSP (22%) fortified with 7.5% rice showed similar polymerization patterns on SDS-PAGE. The surface structure of the rice-MWSP curds was more dense and homogeneous network due to the addition of hydrolyzed rice. However, the surface structure of all rice-MWSP curds became rough and showed a non-homogeneous network after cold storage.
