METHOD FOR PRODUCING SOYBEAN MILK AND BEAN CURD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing soybean milk and bean curd by which the soybean milk and the bean curd having milky and mild feeling, and excellent taste and flavor without grassy smelling can be produced by heightening the proportion of soybean milk particles formed into fine granules. SOLUTION: The soybean milk is obtained by soaking raw material soybeans in soft water, grinding the soaked soybeans while adding the soft water, and separating the soybean milk from bean curd refuse. The resultant soybean milk is subjected to a high-temperature reduced-pressure treatment of raising the temperature to 120-150 deg.C and thereafter reducing the pressure to the pressure of (-0.05)-(-0.08) MPa. The soybean milk obtained thus is subjected to a high- pressure treatment under 5-15 MPa at 70-100 deg.C by a double pipe type heating apparatus for flowing the soybean milk in an inner pipe and flowing a heating medium between the inner pipe and the outer pipe, or to a high-pressure treatment under 20-150 MPa at 70-80 deg.C by a high-pressure homogenizer.
