호프스태터와 예이츠는 인생의 신비함은 결코 틀리지 않으며, 신비하고, 매혹적이라는 점에 동의하는 것 같아 서로 연관성이 있어보여서 서로 비교하면서 읽게 되었다. 인생의 신비로움을 파헤치는 그들의 노력은 환상적이다. 그러나 읽으면 읽을수록 더 혼란스러워지는 것도 사실인 듯하다. 그러나 거의 따라가는 듯도 하며 책을 다 읽은 지금도 신비의 여운이 감돈다.

Ohmic heating uses electric resistance heat which occurs equally and rapidly inside food when an electrical current is passed throught. In this study, we observed the physical & chemical characteristics changes which occurs in soybean protein during heating denaturation by using ohmic and conventional heating. After the ohmic heating process, we could not find any change of the primary protein structure in the denaturated soy protein samples. However, the rate of imbibed water(RIW) of the ohmic samples was 2 times faster than that of the conventional samples. Also the ANS-surface hydrophobicity was decreased, which is very closely related to RIW. In the differential scanning calorimeter(DSC) analysis result, all 7S soyprotein fraction samples were completely denaturated by ohmic and conventional heating. However, the 11S samples were completely denatured only by ohmic heating. According to the DSC result, we decided that soyprotein was damaged by temperature and electrical current during ohmic heating. The damage of electrical current was a cause of the charcteristic changes.
