Abstract

Abstract A food product based on soyabeans and a process for its production The invention relates to a food product in the form of coated and roasted soya beans which is suitable after grinding and extraction for the preparation of a beverage and to a process for the production of this food product.

Description

-- 2la4~s This invention relates to a new soya-based food product sultable ~or the preparation of a powder which may be used in the preparation of hot or cold beverages.
The present invention also relates to a process for the production of the food product and to a process for the production of the powder.

It is known that hot or cold beverages can be prepared from pre-roasted coffee beans by grinding of the beans and extraction with hot water. The beverage obtained in this way has the characteristic and generally agreeable taste of coffee. `

The problem addressed to the present invention was to provide a new product from which a hot or cold beverage could be c~uickly and easily prepared.

This new product being soya-based, it enables the preparation of a beverage combin:ing high nutritional value with good organoleptic qualities, and free from physiologically active substances, such as caffeine and chlorogenic acid.

In a first embodiment, therefore, the present invention Z5 relates to a food product in the form of soya beans coated with a glucidic compound and then roasted. After grinding and extraction, this food product lends itself to the preparation of a beverage with an agreeable taste reminiscent of coffee.

This food product may be obtained by a process in which soya beans are coated with a glucidic compound and then roasted. The present invention also relates to this process.
3S In another embodiment, the invention relates to a soluble instant powder in the form of a dehydrated - . . . ~

aqueous extract of the ground food product.
Finally, the present invention relates to a process for the production of the instant powder-~orm product, in which the food product is ground, the resulting powder is extracted with water and the extract obtained is d~hydrated.
Parts and percentages mentioned hereinafter are ~y weight.
Accordingly, the present invention relates to a food product based on soya beans. The starting material used may consist of whole or size-reduced, optionally hulled soya bean~ generally having a moisture content of the order of 10 to 12%. It is also possible to use crushed soya beans defatt~d, for example, with hexane to avoid the presence of a significant quantity of oil in the extract which would have an adverse effect on the storage of the dehydrated aqueous extract.
The soya beans may first be thermally pretreated in order on the one hand to facilitate their hulling by splitting their outer envelope and, on the other hand, to modify the colour of their outer surface by browning.
For example, the thermal pretreatment may be carried out for 4 to 6 minutes at 1~0 to 195C in a conventional roaster or with microwave energy. The thermal pretreat-ment step is preferably carried out in cases where it isintended subsequently to subject the beans to intensive roasting to enable the glucidic compound to penetrate more deeply into the beans and optionally to develop therein. The thermal pretreatment step may also be carried out in such a way as to give a final food product uniformly roasted throughout rather than an incompletely roasted food product of which the outer ;~
surface is covered with "burnt" glucidic compound. ~;
The hulled beans may then be moistened, for example by injection of steam, to obtain a moisture : : .

content of the order of 13 to 15%. This moistening step improves the porosity of the beans which swell slightly in the presence of the steam, thus facilitati~g their subsequent coating and providing for better impregnation or even penetration of the glucidic compound.
The beans thus obtained are than coated with a glucidic compound. The glucidic compound may be select-ed from the group consisting of glucose, sucrose, sorbitol, maltodextrins, sugar cane molasses and sugar beet molasses either in pure or mixed form.
The glucidic compound is preferably used in the form of an aqueous solution with a concentration of 30 to 60% which may be heated to 50-65C to facilitate its use. For example, it is possible to use an aqueous solution of a mixture containing 42 to 47% sucrose and 2 to 7% sorbitol. This mixture has the advantage over a glucose solution, for example, that is substantially tack-free and does not cause the beans to agglomerate and to adhere to the walls of the coating machine. In addition, this particular mixture also provides for good adhesion of the coating to the beans.
Since the glucidic compound used influences the coating and roasting conditions on the one hand and the characteristics of the final food product on the other hand, it is selected according to the qualities required for the final food product.
coating may be carried out by spraying the glucidic compound in the form of an aqueous solution onto the beans in order to coat them with an outer film which may be simultaneously dried by circulation o~ air.
The coatin~ process may also be carried out in several steps, the beans being agitated between each step to prevent then from adhering excessively to one another.
The coating process may also be carried out in a - 35 fluidized bed which ensures that the coated beans have . : .
.
:: : -. . . .
' a smooth outer surface.
I'he coating process may even be carried out in a coating machine which, by comparison with a fluidized bed, provides for a faster throughput and for a smaller 5 los~ of glucidic product to the detriment of the outer surface of the beans which is far less smooth and regular.
The coating process is carried out in such a way as to give a product which has a ratio of glucidic compounds to soya beans of 5 to 30:130, as measured in weight of dry matter.
After coating, the beans are roasted, for example conventionally for 4 to 8 minutes in a roaster rotating at 70 to 90 revolutions per minute with a drum tempera-ture of 230 to 250C (air temperature 180-210C~, or with microwave energy. If the beans have been thermal-ly pretreated, the roasting time may be reduced to 2 to 4 minutes. In fact, the roasting time and temperature are selected according to the degree of roasting re-quired for the final food product. This is because it has been found that the organoleptic qualities of the extract obtained after grinding and extraction of the food product can be influenced in dependence upon the degree of roasting. Thus, if the beans coated with glucidic compound are lightly roasted, i.e. for 4 to 6 minutes at a drum temperature of 220~C, a light-coloured beverage rich in proteins is obtained after grinding of the food product obtained and extraction with boiling water and may be drunk hot or cold, its agreeable tast~
being reminiscent of roasted hazelnuts. By contrast, if the beans are roasted more intensively, for example for 8 to 10 minutes at a drum temperature of 230 to 240C, a darker coloured beverage, again rich in proteins, with a taste reminiscent of coffee is obtained after extrac-tion of the ground food product with boiling water.

s 2 ~ 9 In one particular embodiment of the invention, roasting may be carried out at the same time as coating, for example in a roaster. In this case, the beans coated with glucidic compounds extensively agglomerated into a compact mass which has to be crushed and then ground is obtained on leaving the roaster. This pro-cess, which combines two separate operations into a single step, gives a food product which, although non-uniform, i5 obtained more rapidly.
A final food product in the form of soya beans coated with a glucidic compound and then roasted is obtained in this way. This food product is stable and, accordingly, may be stored without damage for a certain time. ;
The food product may be used as a base for the preparation of a soluble instant powder. Thus, the food product may first be ground and then extracted - simi-larly to the extraction of ground coffee - with water heated to 96-98C or even to a higher temperature of up to 180C. The extract obtained may be consumed as such.
It is also possible to dehydratle the extract obtained, ~or example by a method similar l:o that used for coffee, for example by evaporation ancl freeze-drying, or by successive spraying to obtain a powder-form product which is soluble in water and which can be instantly reconstituted.
The invention is illustrated by the following Examples.

Example 1 The starting material consists of hulled soya beans (1 kilogram) having a moisture content of 10%, a total sugar content determined after hydrolysis of 25%
and a protein content of 50%.
