Equipment for making no-beany flavor soymilk

摘要

An equipment is described to produce soymilk without the undesirable beany flavor and bitter taste of ordinary soymilk. The equipment comprises grinding soybeans totally in an aqueous medium at room temperature without trapping any air, cooking the resulting slurry, and separating the undesolved solids to extract soymilk. The fact that no heat needs to be given to soybeans prior to or during the grinding operation, yields very high percentage of solids in soybeans as dissolved solids in soymilk without rendering chalkiness found in the soymilks made employing the hot-grind and blanching methods. The equipment can also be used for making bland nutritional extracts of other protein rich seeds which are known to give rise to flavor problem in foods made from them.
