Abstract:
1. A process for manufacturing a soybean base product from whole soybean cotyledons comprising: providing whole soybean cotyledons including endogenous enzymes, proteins, and carbohydrates; incubating the whole soybean cotyledons at a first temperature and for a first duration sufficient for the endogenous enzymes to at least partially hydrolyze the proteins but insufficient for the endogenous enzymes to hydrolyze the carbohydrates; and incubating the whole soybean cotyledons in another, subsequent step at a second temperature and for a second duration sufficient for the endogenous enzymes to hydrolyze the carbohydrates to form a soybean base product, the soybean base product being substantially incapable of cross-linking to form colloidal conjugates.
