| 摘要 |
It is intended to provide an apparatus for efficiently producing a soybean product wherein individual soybean cells are dispersed while controlling the soybean smell to a level scarcely offensive for people taking the same. This apparatus comprises a water tank wherein the starting soybeans are immersed in water, a unit of pressurizing/heating whereby the soybeans having been immersed in water are heated under elevated pressure in the presence of water to give swollen soybeans, a unit of milling the soybeans whereby the swollen soybeans are milled to give a soybean slurry having soybean cell clusters dispersed therein, and a unit of enzymatically treating the soybean slurry to give a soybean puree having individual soybean cells dispersed therein. The soybean puree is usable as a liquid soybean food as such. By further providing a unit of drying the soybean puree, a powdery soybean product having individual soybean cells dispersed therein can be obtained. |
