The rancidity of soybean (Glycine max L.) from Yeonhaeju, called "Bazaz", in powder forms was evaluated through a fluorescence spectrum test (FST). The results from the FST were validated by comparing the TBA and acid values. Soybean powders were stored in 25, and $90^{\circ}C$ for 20 days. The maximum excitation and maximum emission of fluorescent compounds generated from the soybean powder during storage were observed at the 360 nm and 430-440 nm wavelengths, respectively. The mean particle size of soybean powder was maintained at $40{\mu}m$ to avoid the dependence of the reaction area during measurement. According to the FST results, lipid oxidation did not actively progress during storage at $25^{\circ}C$. The fluorescence intensity (FI) from FST on the first day of storage was not significantly different from that on the last day of storage (day 20; p < 0.05), but the FI dramatically increased at $90^{\circ}C$. A smooth increase was observed in the initial stage; then, after 11 days of storage, the FI value increased by nearly 100% compared to that on the first day. The FI values were compared with TBA and acid values that were measured under the same storage conditions. All the values at $25^{\circ}C$ showed similar patterns during storage, but at $90^{\circ}C$, the FI and acid values showed similar patterns but the TBA decreased after reaching the maximum values on storage day 12. The results demonstrated that FST may be useful for measuring the rancidity of the powder form of soybean because it does not require extraction to measure the rancidity.

Changes of rancidity of soybean powder from Yeonhaeju (Bazaz) during storage were evaluated by TBA, and compared with those of Korean soybean (Baektae). Lipoxygenase (LOX) in the soybean powder was inactivated by high pressure processing (HPP) to increase the stability of soybean powder during storage. The level of inactivation of LOX was measured by spectrophotometer at 234 nm. HPP decreased the activity of LOX in the soybean powder of Baektae, compared to that of the control (i.e., soybean powder without HPP treatment) of Baektae, while TBA values of both HPP treated Baektae and the control were increased up to 24 days of storage. However, in case of Bazas, both LOX activity TBA values decreased after HPP treatment, compared to those of controls. The antioxidant compounds in both soybeans were measured and quantitatively evaluated by on-line $ABTS^{+}$ assay. Based on the trolox equivalent (TE) value at the retention time 38.2 and 40.1 min, the antioxidant components in Bazaz were higher than that of Baektae. It might indicate that relatively lower TBA values of HPP treated Bazaz was due to lower LOX activity as well as higher antioxidant compounds in the species.
