PREPARATION OF CHEESE FROM REFINED SOYBEAN FLOUR

PURPOSE:To obtain a soybean cheese having high nutrient value at a low cost by adding oil and fat and a cheese flavor to deodorized soybean flour, thereby adjusting the taste and flavor of the soybean. CONSTITUTION:Washed raw soybean is skinned, introduced into a closed box, heat-treated by introducing hot steam under stirring and pulverized to obtain deodorized soybean flour. The soybean flour is added with 10-20wt.% of water and mixed with a slight amount of cheese flavor and a small amount of oil or fat. The mixture is dried to obtain a Parmesan cheese made from soybean. A process cheese made from soybean can be prepared by using 40-50wt.% of water and heating the mixture at 68-73 deg.C and a soybean cream cheese is produced by using 50-60wt.% of water and converting the mixture into a colloidal solution. A soybean product satisfying the requirements of both supplier and the customer can be produced by this process.
