摘要:
A method for deodorizing soybeans or defatted soybeans which comprises extracting soybeans or defatted soybeans with water to obtain soybean milk, adding a sulfurous acid reducing agent, with sodium sulfite being preferred, to the soybean milk in an amount of from about 1500 to about 4000 ppm based on the total solids content of the soybean milk in the case of soybeans, or about 200 to about 1000 ppm based on the total solids content of the soybean milk in the case of defatted soybeans, heating at high temperature for a short period of time under pressure, quenching the heated soybean milk, and treating the cooled milk with activated carbon to adsorb odorous components and the remaining sulfurous acid reducing agent thereon.
