PRODUCTION OF SOY MILK AND TOFU BY USING FRESH BEAN POWDER WITHOUT PRODUCING LITTLE OR NO BEAN DREGS

摘要

PURPOSE: A method of making soy milk and tofu by emulsifying mixed bean powder solution with an emulsification apparatus prior to or after heating the raw material of tofu is provided. It produces little or no bean dregs and produces high quality soy milk having excellent taste and texture within a short time in high production yield. CONSTITUTION: Fresh bean powder obtained by finely grinding unpeeled beans or peeled beans is mixed with water to give mixed bean powder solution. The solution is subjected to a force emulsion process to emulsify it using an emulsification apparatus under the uniform pressure of 10Mpa or more prior to or after heating the raw ingredient of tofu. In the force emulsion process, the emulsification apparatus is a high speed stirrer which is rotated at 800rpm or more to stir the mixed bean powder solution, the temperature of water is set to 60deg.C or less.
