Soy flour was inoculated with Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. lattis R0187, and incubated for 8 h, to evaluate the protein hydrolysis and identify peptides generated by this fermentation, and the impact on ACE and trypsin inhibitory activities. Aqueous protein extracts prepared from different fermentation time periods showed a decrease in soluble protein content (from 2.83 to 0.02 mg/mL), while soluble inorganic nitrogen and free amino acid contents increased (from 0.029 to 0.062% w/w, and from 0.75 to 0.90% w/w, respectively). The protein extracts were analyzed by SDS-PAGE; proteolysis was observed after 5 h incubation of inoculated soy flour, suggesting that glycinin, beta-conglycinin, and trypsin inhibitors, were hydrolyzed. Peptides were isolated by tricine-SDS-PAGE, and analyzed by MS/MS; fragments of soy anti-nutritional factors (Kunitz and Bowman-Birk trypsir, inhibitors), as well as of other soybean proteins, were identified, confirming that these proteins were hydrolyzed. The protein extracts at time 0 h and 8 h were analyzed by RP-HPLC; one fraction was analyzed by MS/MS, which identified peptides from Lactobacillus species. Determination of trypsin inhibitory activity showed less inhibition of the enzyme with inoculated soy flour compared to the control (un-inoculated soy flour), confirming the deactivation of trypsin inhibitors by fermentation. Determination of ACE inhibitory activity showed a higher inhibition with the control (86% +/- 3.0) compared to inoculated soy flour (66% +/- 7.6).

Male weanling Wistar rats were fed a low-iron basal diet for 3 weeks. The iron depleted rats were then divided into 9 groups according to a randomized block design based on body weight. During the repletion period of 2 weeks, one group was fed the low-iron basal diet. The other eight groups received either the basal diet to which was added 5, 10, 15, 20 or 25 mg iron per kg diet as ferrous sulfate or test source diets formulated to provide a total of 15 mg iron per kg diet from either freeze-dried ground beef, textured defatted soy flour product or a 2.3:1 (w/w) mixture of beef and soy product. All diets were isocaloric and isonitrogenous. The relative biological value (RBV) of iron in the test source diet was calculated as the ratio of the amounts of iron from the reference source (ferrous sulfate) and the test source diet required to give the same response in hemoglobin or hematocrit. The RBVs ± 95% confidence limits, calculated on the basis of final hemoglobin levels and hematocrit values, were respectively: freeze-dried ground beef, 56 ± 7 % and 62 ± 7 %; fortified textured defatted soy flour product, 81 ± 10 % and 79 ± 10 %; 2.3:1 (w/w) mixture of freeze-dried ground beef and soy flour product, 65 ± 6 % and 68 ± 6 %. The RBVs obtained for the iron in beef and for that in the soy flour product suggest that the anemic rat might not be a suitable model for normal man when screening such foods for their available iron. In normal man, the absorption of the iron in beef is comparable to that of inorganic reference iron, while that in textured soy flour is about one third. / Land and Food Systems, Faculty of / Graduate

The objective of this research was to determine the acceptability and preference of peanut butter and three different flavors of soynut butter among humans. Six hundred and sixty-two volunteers (401 females, 258 males and 3 unknown) between the ages of 18 and up were randomly asked to fill out a demographic survey and taste 1 tsp. (5.33 g) of three different soynut butters (creamy, creamy with honey, and creamy with chocolate) and 1 tsp. (5.33 g) of peanut butter on saltine crackers. After taste testing the soynut butters/peanut butter, volunteers were asked to rate each product on a 9-point hedonic rating scale based on appearance, texture, and flavor; the subjects were also asked as to whether they would purchase the nut butters. Demographic information such as participants' age, gender, year in school, and ethnicity were collected, along with questions concerning their frequency of exercise, eating and smoking habits, and health status of themselves and their families.The creamy with honey and creamy soynut butters were rated highest by both genders for all variables (i.e., appearance, texture, flavor, purchase). The purchase variable determined statistical significance between females and males. The females indicated by their rating that they would be more likely to purchase the chocolate soynut butter vs. the peanut butter, while the males indicated purchasing preference of peanut butter over the chocolate soynut butter.Given that both creamy with honey and creamy soynut butters were accepted by this population based on appearance, texture, and flavor, future research in this area should focus on soy foods in humans and biochemical parameters, marketing niches, specific ethnic or age preferences, and education of the health benefits of soy. / Department of Family and Consumer Sciences
