Indonesian consumers who aware about healthy foods. The quality of this beverage depends usually on the processing conditions
and soybeans properties such as variety of beans. Accordingly, the present study was aimed to investigate the effects of soybean
variety and water:bean ratio during production of soymilk on the selected quality of the soymilk i.e. viscosity, density, pH, color
attributes, total solid and electrical conductivity. The soymilk samples were prepared from the Baluran (local) and imported US
soybean varieties through soaking, stripping, washing, grinding, heating and extracting processes. The soymilk were then filtered
and let to reach the equilibrium condition with the room temperature prior to quality evaluation. The results showed that quality of
soymilk was varied depending on the soybean variety and water:bean ratio. | en_US |
