Germinated soybean (GSB) has a high interest in the food industry due to its potential health benefits. However, the understanding of physicochemical properties as well as sensory properties of plant-based milk made of GSB is very limited. This study, therefore, formulated GSB milk and identified its nutritional value, rheological property, and perception of consumers. The obtained result revealed that GSB milk had a high gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) content (127-135 mg/L) while its other properties including pH, crude protein content, and total soluble solid were equivalent to those of conventional soymilk. Due to the denaturation of protein in germination, GSB milk had a bigger droplet size in comparison with conventional soymilk, resulting in a lower viscosity. For consumer perception, sensory properties of GSB milk were evaluated as better than those of conventional soymilk.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
