Abstract
Glycine max is botanical name of soybean, which is leguminous plant. Soybeans are the ample source of good
quality proteins, and soybean properties can be utilized in the form of soybean tofu. Soya milk was obtained by
soya bean followed by coagulation with raspberry and gooseberry to obtain tofu. Then, whey was drained out
and hooped. Soy cake was pressed for half hour before cooling in cooled water for one hour for preparation of
tofu. Soy tofu was prepared by using raspberry and gooseberry as coagulation agents and quality assessment of
prepared samples was done on the basis of the physico-chemical parameters like carbohydrate, fat, moisture,
protein, acidity, pH, and ash. The prepared tofu sample were also analyzed for organoleptic evaluation with
respect of color & appearance, texture, taste & flavor, and OAA. Soy tofu can be used as an additional option for
paneer and can be useful for hypersensitive entities especially people suffering with lactose intolerance problem.
Soy tofu can be prepared by using natural coagulants (fruits juice), hence we can reduce the uses of chemicals.
Keywords: Soy tofu, raspberry, gooseberry, physico-chemical, Organoleptic evaluation.
Introduction
Glycine max L. is botanical name of soybean, which belongs to Fabaceae family and thus leguminous. Soybeans
are the ample source of good quality proteins. Nonvegetarian dieters do not consume nonveg on daily basis thus
required need of protein does not fulfil. Soybeans are good in nutrition as well as therapeutic properties.
Soybeans contains good amount of minerals, fiber, and macronutrients. All essential amino acids are found in
soybeans in right quantity required by the human body. It is suitable for the preparation of supplement protein for
animal protein because per kilo gram of soybean meal dry matter contains 480 grams protein of excellent quality
(Ali, 1985). Utilization of products of soybean increasing steadily in food and feed both industries. India only
accounts 9.3 million metric tons production of soybean out of 219.8 million metric tons of the total world
production. It means India accounts 4 percent contribution of soybean of the whole world. Consumption rate is
only less than 10 percent (Gandhi, 2006). Soybeans and its products are stands dominant due to its high quality
