The present inventors found that the natural flavor intrinsic to soybean is retained more than ever before when soybean is processed to prepare a processed soybean material having a specific lipid content, a dietary fiber content, an acid-soluble component content and a protein content, whereby the present problems were solved. More specifically, the processed soybean material of the present invention is such that, on a solid weight basis, (1) a content of lipid, extracted with a mixed organic solvent wherein a ratio of chloroform to methanol is 2:1, is 10 to 40% by weight, (2) a dietary fiber content is 5 to 40% by weight, (3) a potassium content is 1% by weight or less, (4) a protein content is 30 to 65% by weight, and (5) a sum of &#x3b3;-conglycinin and 24 kDa protein is 2.4 times or less of lipoxygenase protein in soybean proteins.

Processed soybean material and method for producing processed soybean material

The present invention addresses the problem of providing a soybean-derived raw material-containing food or beverage that improves problems with flavor and physical properties, such as the grassy smell caused by soybean raw materials, and markedly improves product quality, in a soybean-derived raw material-containing food or beverage using a conventional soybean raw material such soymilk or tofu. Provided are a milk-substitute composition, an egg yolk-substitute composition, and a composition for improving renal function, etc., characterized by including a reduced-fat soybean protein material having a total protein and carbohydrate content relative to dry material of at least 80 wt %, a fat content (as a chloroform/methanol mixed solvent extract) relative to the protein content of less than 10 wt %, and a total campesterol and stigmasterol (as plant-derived sterols) content of at least 200 mg relative to 100 g of fat. Also provided are a variety of soybean-derived raw material-containing food and beverages using these compositions.

Provided are a milk-substitute composition, and an egg-yolk substitute composition, etc., characterized by including a soybean emulsion composition having a protein content relative to dry material of at least 25 wt %, a fat content (as a chloroform/methanol mixed solvent extract) relative to the protein content of at least 100 wt %, and an LCI value of at least 55%. Also provided are a variety of soybean-derived raw material-containing food and beverages using these compositions.
