Brief Description : Among different kind of soy products, soymilk has gained much popularity as an excellent source of high-quality protein which is commonly recommended as a less-expensive source substitute for cow's milk. Fresh soyamilk has a very short shelf life which consequently limits its consumption to areas close to the production site. The soymilk produced at room temperature has limited shelf life of less than 24 hr. The industrial interest has led extensive research concerning shelf life and organoleptic quality of soymilk during storage. During storage period of soymilk microbiological, physicochemical, and sensory properties change greatly thereby causing spoilage. Microbiological safety has become a common need not only due to consumers claim for healthy food but also due to the recent changes in soymilk production and storage conditions. Soymilk packed in sterilized glass bottles and again sterilized for 121° for 20 minutes improve the shelf life of soymilk stored at refrigerated condition upto 170 days and could be stored at refrigerated condition upto 170 days and at ambient condition upto 90 days.

Brief Description : Shelf life of soypaneer is 6 hrs at ambient condition. Storage of soypaneer at low temperature is essential, while transporting the product for a long distance in a suitable packaging material to maintain quality. The vendors keep soypaneer for sale at room temperature. Hence, it is also necessary to evaluate the shelf life of product at ambient temperature. Vacuum packaging is one of the easiest, most efficient and economical process of preserving quality and improving shelf life of soypaneer. Vacuum packaging with LDPE 200 gauge is recommended to enhance the shelf life of soypaneer upto 10 days at refrigerated condition (± 5°).

Brief Description : Roasted soy nuts are whole mature soybeans that have been soaked in water and then baked until browned. They are very suitable snack item being popularized all over India. Soy nuts are a nutrition powerhouse and offer many health benefits. They are very rich in protein, fiber, healthy fats, minerals and vitamins. The net effect of roasting techniques is the removal of anti nutrients and increase the nutritive value and overall acceptance. The existing roasting equipment is not suitable for roasting of soybean, so roaster based on HTST principle for preparation of soy nut has been developed. The developed roaster may be useful for roasting multi grains. The electrically operated (2000 Watt) roaster has capacity of 2 kg/batch. The machine is having overall dimensions of 510.25 mm (l) x 510.25 mm (b) x 210.25 mm (h). The optimized soaking time roasting temperature and roasting time for preparation of soy nut in the developed roaster is 60 min, 130° and 2.5 min respectively. The cost of the unit is Rs.25000/-. The developed roaster is suitable for production of soy nut.

Brief Description : Chunks (Wadian), a traditional savoury food is usually legume-based and are more popular in northern India. Chunks are prepared from a thick, spiced batter, which is formed into balls of varying sizes (15 - 40g), and then dried. After drying, the chunks may be fried and eaten as a savoury snack, or may be added to other Indian dishes of rice, vegetables and pulses. Traditionally, drying of these chunks is practiced under the sun. It has many disadvantages. Hot air drying is an alternative method that decreases drying time and improves the quality of the dried product. Okra is the by-product of soy milk and tofu production. It contains protein and fiber which have value and which can be used in food products that meet market demands and opportunities. Moist okra from soymilk production has about 80% moisture. Wet okra has approximately the nutrient composition as water 81.6 gm, protein 3.2 gm (moisture basis), carbohydrate 12.5g, fiber 4.1g, calcium 80 mg, iron 1.4 mg, thiamine 0.02 mg, and riboflavin 0.02 mg. Process technology has been developed for chunks using soy-okra (a by-product of soymilk) partially replacing dhal (Pulses) to improve the nutritional quality and utilization of fresh okra (a byproduct from soymilk preparation). Incorporation of 20% fresh okra and hot air drying at 60° is recommended for the production of better quality dehydrated pulse (black gram & green gram) chunks.

Brief Description : Biscuits are ready to eat, convenient and inexpensive food product, containing digestive and dietary fibres of vital importance. Biscuits are a rich source of fat and carbohydrate, hence are energy giving food and they are also a good source of protein and minerals. Okra is the residue obtained from ground soybean after removing the water-extractable fraction used to produce tofu or soymilk. About 1.1 kg of fresh okra is produced from 1 kg of soybean processed for manufacturing of tofu. Okra contains protein and fibre which have value and which can be used in food products that meet market demands and opportunities. Okra is high in fibre. Moist okra from soymilk production has about 80% moisture. Wet okra has approximately the nutrient composition as water 81.6 g, protein 3.2 g (moisture basis), carbohydrate 12.5 g, fibre 4.1g, calcium 80 mg, iron 1.4 mg, thiamine 0.02 mg, and riboflavin 0.02 mg. The wet okra poses disposal problems in addition to existing pollution. It is a suitable dietary additive in biscuits and snacks because it reduces calorie intake and increases dietary fibre. Considering the barriers for the use of okra such as its rapid degradation, high cost of drying and alternative protein sources to okra, it is more feasible to use as such fresh okra obtained from soymilk production to make the product fibre rich. Hence, fresh okra is recommended for utilization in biscuit preparation. Incorporation of 20 % wet okra is recommended for the production of better quality fibre rich biscuits.

Brief Description : The snack food industry is experiencing extraordinary changes from the consumer's point of view. Consumers wants snacks that taste good and smell good, feel good, look good and in addition, nutritionally superior and healthy. The extrusion cooking process is high temperature short time process in which moist, soft grain is fed into the extruder where the desired temperature and pressure are obtained over the required period of residence time. Extrusion cooking is used worldwide for the production of expanded snack foods, modified starches, Ready- to- Eat cereals, baby foods and pasta. This technology has many distinct advantages like versatility, low cost, better product quality and no process effluents. The residue left after the water extractable fraction is utilized to produce soy milk and tofu is called okra (soymilk residue). About 1.1 kg of fresh okra is produced from 1 kg of soybean processed for tofu. Huge quantities of okra are produced during the production of soymilk and soypaneer. It is rich in moisture, fiber and carbohydrates. Considering the barriers for the use of okra such as its rapid degradation, high cost of drying and alternative protein sources to okra, it is more feasible to use as such fresh okra obtained from soymilk production to make the product fibre rich. Hence, fresh okra is recommended for utilization in RTE extruded snack preparation. Incorporation of 30% wet okra in rice-maize (20:80) proportion is recommended for the production of better quality fibre rich RTE extruded snacks
