Abstract:
1. A production method for processed soybean food products, comprising the steps of: (A) grinding raw soybeans to produce a soybean slurry; (B) heating the soybean slurry so that the soybean slurry is thermally denatured, wherein in the heating step (B), the soybean slurry is flowed alternately between a large diameter pipe arranged in a straight line and a small diameter pipe bent in a turning configuration while being heated by blowing steam into the soybean slurry from a steam outlet provided at the distal end of a steam pipe protruding into the inside of the small diameter pipe bent in a turning configuration, and (C) partway through the heating step (B), deaerating the soybean slurry for removing air bubbles mixed in with the soybean slurry.
