Preparation:
Soy milk can be made from whole soybeans or full fat soy flour. The dry beans are soaked in water
overnight or for a minimum of 3 hours or more depending on the temperature of the water. There
hydrated beans then undergo wet grinding with enough added water to give the desired solids
content to the final product. The ratio of water to beans on a weight basis should be about 10:1.
The resulting slurry or purée is brought to a boil in order to improve its nutritional value by heat
inactivating soybean trypsin inhibitor, improve its flavor and to sterilize the product. Heating at or
near the boiling point is continued for a period of time, 15-20 minutes, followed by the removal of
an insoluble residue by filtration.
Introduction
NUTRITION:
A cup of soya milk contains lactose, proteins, carbohydrates, fats and calcium which
are also present in soya milk but in varying quantities. Lactose can be hard to digest by
some people if they lack the required digestive enzyme lactase and will not be able to
digest milk easily. Soy milk is mostly used as an alternative to milk used by people with
lactose intolerance since it is completely lactose free.
HEALTH BENEFITS:
There are a number of hath benefits with drinking soy milk. These are as follows:
Natural milk is an opaque white fluid secreted by the mammary glands of female mammal.
The main constituents of natural milk are proteins, carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins, fats and
water and are a complete balanced diet. Fresh milk is sweetish in taste. However, when it is kept
for a long time at a temperature of 35 ± 50C it becomes sour because of bacteria present in air.
These bacteria convert lactose of milk starts separating out as a precipitate. When the acidity in
milk is sufficient and temperature is around 360C, it forms semi-solid mass, called curd. Soya bean
milk is made from soya beans. It resembles natural milk. The main constituents of soya bean milk
are proteins, carbohydrates, fats, minerals and vitamins. It is prepared by keeping soya beans
dipped in water for some time. The swollen soya beans are then crushed to a paste which is then
mixed with water. The solution is filtered and filtrate is soya bean milk.
Soy milk
Soy milk also called soya milk, soymilk soybean milk or soy juice and sometimes referred to as
drink/beverage is a beverage made from soybeans. A stable emulsion of oil, water, and protein, it
is produced by soaking dry soybeans and grinding them with water. Soy milk contains about the
same proportion of protein as cow's milk: around 3.5%; also 2% fat, 2.9% carbohydrate, and 0.5%
ash. Soy milk can be made at home with traditional kitchen tools or with a soy milk machine. The
coagulated protein from soy milk can be made into Tofu, just as dairy milk can be made into cheese
Materials required:
1. Beakers
2. Pestle and mortar
3. Measuring cylinder
4. Glass rod
5. Tripod stand
6. Thermometer
7. Muslin cloth
8. Burner
9. Soya beans
10. Buffalo milk
11. Fresh curd
12. Distilled water
Procedure:
1. Soak about 100 g of soya beans in sufficient amount of water so that they are completely
dipped in it. Keep them dipped for 24 hours.
2. Take out swollen soya beans and grind them to a very fine paste with a pestle-mortar.
3. Add about 250 ml of water to this paste and filter it through a muslin cloth. Clear white
filtrate is soya bean milk.
4. Compare its taste with buffalo milk.
5. Take 50 ml of buffalo milk in three beakers and heat the beakers to 300, 400 and 500 C
respectively Add spoonful curd to each of the beakers and leave the beakers undisturbed
for 8 hours and curd is ready
6. .Similarly, take 50 ml of soya bean milk in three other beakers and heat the beakers to
300,400 and 500 C respectively.
7. Add 1 spoonful curd to each of these beakers. Leave the beakers 4 undisturbed for 8
hours and curd is formed
Observation:
Both natural milk and soya bean milk have almost same constituents except the presence of lactose
in natural milk. Soya bean milk can easily be used as an effective alternative for people whose diet
is lactose free. But on the other hand natural milk curd requires lesser time (as per my hypothesis
taken earlier) than soybean milk curd also requires temperature slightly greater than room
temperature.
