An apparatus for producing tofu coagulant includes a liquid food oil pumping pathway, a liquid food oil tank, a mineral salt solution pumping pathway, a mineral salt solution tank, a plurality of metering pumps, and an emulsion dispersion machine for stirring the liquid food oil with the mineral salt solution to an emulsification phase. The liquid food oil pumping pathway is connected with the mineral salt solution pumping pathway, the mineral salt solution is added in a predetermined ratio for producing the tofu coagulant, and the water phase and the oil phase are stirred and mixed to W/O type (water in oil type) emulsion (without emulsifier).

A solid-liquid separator using a roller system includes a casing, rollers disposed within the casing and each provided with a screen that is formed in the outer periphery thereof with plural pores for separating via the plural pores a solid substance from a solid-liquid substance disposed outside the rollers and filtering a liquid substance toward inside the rollers, inside drums each disposed along the inner circumference of each of the rollers, and a passageway which is formed by means of the screen and the inner drum and which is provided with an outlet. The liquid substance separated by means of the screen is allowed to flow along the passageway, collected at the outlet and discharged from the outlet.

Solid-liquid separator using roller system

A solid-liquid separator using a roller system includes a casing, rollers disposed within the casing and each provided with a screen that is formed in an outer periphery thereof with plural pores, a supply device disposed outside the rollers for supplying into the casing under appropriate pressure a solid-liquid mixture to be separated into a solid component via the plural pores and a liquid component filtered inside, a casing wall disposed adjacent to the rollers after the solid-liquid mixture supplied with the supply device is passed through the rollers rotated, a discharge window formed in the casing wall for discharging the solid component, and a pressure application lid formed on the casing wall for stably applying prescribed pressure in a direction of closing the discharge window with a pressure application device. The liquid component is separated from the solid-liquid mixture by means of the rollers and the solid component is discharged from the discharge window on which pressure has been exerted by means of the pressure application lid.

It is to provide a process and apparatus for producing soymilk which is obtained by completely deactivating various kinds of enzymes responsible for a grassy smell, while preventing heating unevenness, and inducing appropriate thermal denaturation of protein and a rich flavor, and which can be processed by coagulation into tofu high in water retentivity and elasticity and rich in flavor. [Solving means] The apparatus includes a submerged friction-grinding unit M having a friction-grinding portion in which soybeans are friction-ground together with soybean-grinding water to obtain a raw soybean soup, a heating unit N for heating the raw soybean soup obtained in the submerged friction-grinding unit M, a connecting pipe Pfor connecting the submerged grinding unit M and the heating unit N and a preheating unit Yattached to the connecting pipe Pfor preheating the raw soybean soup, whereby the raw soybean soup obtained in the submerged friction-grinding unit M is fed into the heating unit N while being preheated and is then further heated in the heating unit N The heating step by the heating unit N may be divided into multiple stages.

Process for producing soy milk

A system and method for evaluating a material body by a scattered light observation system which observes a gel state or a gel-formable sol state material body illuminated with a coherent light through a two dimensional image recognizing means, including measuring a gel state or a change in sol-gel state of said material body using a light section formed on an image forming surface or conditions of a speckle pattern.
