Definitions
- the present invention deals with a process and product having a yogurt-like consistency made by that process using soy milk as a principal ingredient.
- the final product contains no cow's milk nor is the product subjected to the inoculation of yogurt-like cultures or enzymes.
- tofu is a high protein, low calorie food which has no cholesterol or lactose, it is normally manufactured as a white block of bean curd, which is rather hard and grainy. Such a product does not readily lend itself as an ingredient for a food product having a creamy or yogurt-like consistency. It is thus an object of the present invention to provide a novel food product made from soy which is non-dairy, has no cholesterol or lactose.
- soybeans are first washed until clean and then soaked in water until they swell to about twice their normal size.
- the soybeans are ground then heated in steam to about 200 ⁇ F or in a pressure cooker to approximately 230 ⁇ F for a length of time to deactivate the trypsin inhibitor and to destroy the lipoxgenase enzyme.
- the juice is then separated from the beans and the shells and fibers discarded.
- soy milk should possess a Brix level between approximately 4 to 14 and, more preferably, between 7 and 11. Brix levels directly affect the taste and texture of the finished product.
- soymilk is employed on a fruit free basis.
- a stabilizer which is intended to perform a number of functions in the practice of the present invention.
- the present product be acidified for reasons which will be more fully explained hereinafter.
- the stabilizers of the present invention interact with the soy protein and prevent such results when acids are added to the soy milk. Either a single stabilizer or a system of stabilizers can be employed herein.
- the quantity of the stabilizer employed will be determined by the type of stabilizer and the intended consistency of the final product. For a yogurt-like consistency, it is generally recommended that 0.12%- 0.48% by weight gums, such as guar gum, locust bean gum or agar, be employed. The preferred concentration of these gums is 0.20 to 0.35% by weight. When gelatin, having a bloom in the range of 225 to 275, high methoxy pectin, such as Hercules Genu JM or other stabilizers of this type are employed, generally recommended concentrations range from 0.35 to 0.90% by weight. Concentrations of 0.60 to 0.80% by weight are preferred.
- Food grade starches such as Purity D and Firmtex produced by National Starch and Chemical, are employed at concentrations of 1.0 to 3.0% by weight, preferably at 1.25 to 2.00% by weight. All percentages are calculated on a fruit-free basis.
- the preferred process is one which employs a combination of stabilizers such as gelatin and locust bean gum; gelatin and starch; agar and starch; agar and gelatin; gelatin, locust bean gum and starch; and gelatin, starch and high methoxyl pectin. It is possible to reduce the concentration of individual stabilizers when combinations of stabilizers are employed. Alternatively, higher concentrations of total stabilizer, providing greater stability, are possible without adversely affecting product consistency.
- the preferred combinations are 0.50 to 0.60% by weight gelatin and 0.3 to 0.4% by weight locust bean gum; 0.6 to 0.8% by weight gelatin and 0.80 to 1.50% by weight starch; or 0.5 to 0.6% by weight gelatin, 0.2 to 0.3% by weight locust bean gum and 0.80 to 1.50% by weight starch.
- an acid be added to the food product to reduce the pH thereof, preferably below approximately 4.5. In doing so, the flavor of the product is improved, particularly when fruits or fruit flavors are blended with the acidified soy milk blend. Although most acids appear satisfactory, citric acid has been found to be more complimentary to many fruit flavors.
- the solution be heated in a step akin to the pasteurization of traditional dairy products.
- a secondary purpose for the heating of the solution is to hydrate stabilizing agents.
- prolonged heating at high temperatures, for example, above 185 ⁇ F can adversely affect the flavor and texture of the final product.
- it is recommended in practicing the present invention that the solution be heated to approximately 180° to 185 ⁇ F and held at that elevated temperature for only approximately 25 to 30 seconds. At lower temperatures, such as from 155" to 160 * F the pasturization times would be increased upwards of approximately 30 minutes.
- the present composition be chilled, which has the effect of promoting the gelation of the solution.
- the solution be brought to a temperature no greater than approximately 70 ⁇ F.
- Long term storage of the product should be maintained at refrigeration temperatures. Speed in the temperature reduction step will minimize the growth of bacteria in the final product and will thus enhance its shelf life.
- Sugar, corn syrups, fructose or other nutritive and non-nutritive sweeteners can be employed as flavor enhancers to improve the overall palatability of the product.
- a product with sweetness equivalent to that obtained with approximately 9% to 12% sugar is preferred.
- An acceptable but less sweet product can be produced with from approximately 5% to 9% sucrose or appropriate concentrations of other sweeteners.
- Other ingredients such as salt employed in concentrations from approximately 0.1 to 0.5%, vanilla at concentrations of approximately between 0.05 to 0.5%, lemon oil or juice at concentrations of 0.01 to 2.5% and natural or artificial flavoring systems, commonly referred to as protein masking agents, can be added to modify, and depending upon the desired final flavor, improve the overall acceptance of the product. It has particularly been found that lemon oil is quite effective in substantially eliminating any of the residual bean-like taste which traditionally accompanies a soy-based product.
- Fruit flavors in an amount less than approximately 3.0% and frozen or heat processed fruit can be added to produce, again, a more appealing product.
- Heat processed fruit is preferred at concentrations ranging from approximately between 2% to 15% of the product as the heating process destroys microorganisms and enzymes which might otherwise shorten its shelf life.
- Fruit pieces, as opposed to fruit flavors add to the visual appeal of the product and give added natural flavor impact.
- the product can further be homogenized before the addition of fruit to insure even distribution of ingredients. Any commercial homogenzation apparatus can be employed herein and, as stated previously, the use of homogenization is clearly an optional expedient.
- Product A contained 76% soy milk, 6% sugar, 0.6% 250 bloom gelatin and 1.0% modified tapioca starch.
- Product B contained 76% soy milk, 6% sugar, 0.56% 250 bloom gelatin and 0.37% locust bean gum.
- Product C contained 76% soy milk and 6% sugar with no stabilizers. All products were heated to 190 ⁇ F, homogenized and cooled to varying degrees before citric acid was added to reduce the pH of the product to approximately 4.3. Upon addition of the acid to sample C, the proteins coagulated, separated from the aqueous portion of the sample and produced a chalky, grain texture. This typical phenomonen occurred even when the sample was cooled to 45 ⁇ F before adding the acid.
- products A and B showed no signs of protein coagulation except when the product temperature equalled or exceeded 145 ⁇ F at the time the acid was added. Stabilized samples A and B developed a slightly chalky texture when acid was added, while the product temperature was 145 ⁇ F or 175 ⁇ F.
- the stabilizer thus appears to do more than a simple binding of water and prevention of separation due to the viscosity of the product.
- a dry blend was prepared containing 5.0 grams gelatin, 60.0 grams sugar, 250 milligrams salt, 1.6 grams starch and 1.5 grams citric acid (dry weight basis). After blending 497.6 grams soy milk was added while constantly mixing at which time the solution was slowly heated to approximately 180 * F. After maintaining the temperature for approximately 30 seconds, the solution was quickly cooled and 8.1 grams of flavoring was added. The resultant product was homogenized, 3 to 4% fruit pieces added and the final product put in cups and refrigerated.
- the various stabilizers operate in one of two fundamental ways—each to protect the coagulated protein found in the acidified soy milk.
- the first process relies upon the addition of sufficient thickeners to the soy milk to develop a high enough viscosity to prevent separation of the coagulated protein.
- the viscosity which is required is typical of that produced when 2% by weight starch is added to soy milk and the product heated to permit hydration and gelation of the starch. Any of the typical starches or most gums, if present in adequate concentration, will produce sufficient viscosity.
- the required viscosity will depend upon the density and size of the coagulated protein particles.
- the temperature of solu- tion should generally be kept below approximately 120 ⁇ F and preferably below approximately 60°F during acid addition. It has been noted, as presented above, that stabilizers such as gelatin at a concentration of approximately 0.8% by weight, high methoxy pectin at a concentration of approximately 0.8% by weight, guar gum at a concentration of approximately 0.15% by weight and locust bean gum at a concentration of approximately 0.2% by weight have been found to be effective in pre ⁇ venting coagulation of the soy protein.
