Abstract
Disclosed is a method for preparing legumes powder called aquafaba through a step of pre-soaking selected legumes or without the pre-soaking step, to produce vegetable proteins that can replace animal proteins. The method for preparing legumes powder includes selecting legumes; washing the selected legumes with distilled water, and then drying same at room temperature, i.e., 22° C.; pre-soaking the legumes in distilled water at 4° C. for 16 hours; separating the pre-soaked legumes and immersion liquid by using a sieve; cooking the separated legumes by heating at 118° C. in a pressed state by a pressure-heating apparatus; cooling the cooked legumes at 22° C. for 24 hours; separating the cooled legumes and immersion liquid (e.g., aquafaba (AQ)) produced after the cooling, by using a sieve; and freezing the separated immersion liquid (e.g., aquafaba (AQ)) at −20° C., followed by drying in a dryer, to obtain legumes powder.
