Abstract
Abstract A method of preparing soy which is featured in that soybeans obtained by steaming soybeans of a moisture content of 30-70 percent by weight with saturated steam of a gauge pressure not less than 1.8 kg./cm.2 for a short period of time not exceeding 10 minutes, followed by rapid cooling to a temperature not exceeding 100* C. are used as the starting material for the preparation of soy. And the method can provide a soy of superior flavor and of high quality wherein the possibility of the formation of clouds and precipitates when diluted and heated in its use does not occur, and can be carried out industrially advantageously with improved yield and good reproducibility.
