Process for producing edible material from soybeans

摘要

An edible material containing soybean cell walls having a good taste is produced by providing dehulled and hypocotyl-removed soybeans without substantial swelling by water absorption; soaking and heating the soybeans in hot water to which an alkali has been added under the conditions of: Log(Hr)+0.0333 Temp>/=2.4, wherein Log(Hr) represents the common logarithm (to base ten) value of a soaking time (hours), and Temp represents a soaking temperature ( DEG C.); and then crushing the soybeans.
