본 연구에서는 농축대두단백으로 두유를 만들고 protease를 이용하여 대두단백질을 여러가지 정도로 가수분해한 후, 단백질이 일부 가수분해된 두유에서 L. acidophilus 또는 L. bulgaricus의 생육과 산생성을 관찰하고 제조된 대두 젖산균음료의 관능성을 조사하였다. protease 처리에 의하여 젖산균에 의한 산생성이 촉진되었는데 특히 L. acidophilus에 의한 산생성이 현저하게 촉진되었다. 그러나 pH와 생균수는 큰 변화가 없었다. 15분 가수분해 시료에서 이미 산도가 상당히 증가하였으며 그 후 3시간이 경과하여도 산도의 변화가 현저하지 않았다. 0.1% protease 처리로 대두젖산균음료의 전체적인 기호도가 다소 개선되었다. protease 처리 15분에 비단백태 질소의 함량이 상당히 증가하였고 2시간에 최대치에 도달하였다.
The soy milk prepared from soy protein concentrate was treated with pretense of various concentrations. Growth and acid production by Lactobacillus acidophilus or L. bulgaricus in soy milk containing partially hydrolyzed protein were investigated. Sensory evaluation of soy yogurt beverages prepared from pretense treated soy milk was also performed. The treatment of soy milk with pretense markedly enhanced acid production by lactic acid bacteria, particularly by L. acidophilus, whereas pH and number of viable cells were not .affected by pretense treatment. Protease treatment of 15 minutes greatly enhanced acid production by lactic acid bacteria, but further treatment up to three hours did not affect the acidity markedly. The sensory evaluation showed that overall acceptability of soy yogurt beverages was slightly improved when soy milk was treated with pretense of 0.1%. The amount of non-protein nitrogen was considerably increased by pretense treatment of 15 minutes and it reached the maximum value by treatment of two hours.
