Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a soy milk containing methylpyrazine compounds consisting of 2-methylpyrazine, 2,5-dimethylpyrazine and 2,6-dimethylpyrazine at a quantity of 40 to 7000 μg per 1 L.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for producing a soy milk containing methylpyrazine compounds which consist of 2-methylpyrazine, 2,5-dimethylpyrazine and 2,6-dimethylpyrazine, at a quantity of 55 to 1500 μg per 1 L, wherein the soy milk does not contain fragrances and has a whiteness of 60 or more, the method comprising: the step of mixing roasted soy beans and unroasted soy beans during the production of the soy milk, in which a roasting level and a blending quantity are controlled so that the content of the methylpyrazine compounds which consist of 2-methylpyrazine, 2,5-dimethylpyrazine and 2,6-dimethylpyrazine, in a final product is 55 to 1500 μg per 1 L, wherein the color of the roasted soy beans is from L30 to L70. 2. A method for suppressing a grassy smell of a soy milk, comprising the step of mixing roasted soy beans and unroasted soy beans during the production of the soy milk, in which a roasting level and a blending quantity are controlled so that the content of methylpyrazine compounds which consist of 2-methylpyrazine, 2,5-dimethylpyrazine and 2,6-dimethylpyrazine in a final product is 55 to 1500 μg per 1 L, wherein the color of the roasted soy beans is from L30 to L70, wherein the soy milk has a whiteness of 60 or more. 3. A method for producing a soy milk, wherein the soy milk has a whiteness of 60 or more, comprising: the step of mixing roasted soy beans and unroasted soy beans during the production of the soy milk, in which a roasting level and a blending quantity are controlled so that the content of the methylpyrazine compounds in the soy milk is 55 to 1500 μg per 1 L, wherein the color of the roasted soy beans is from L30 to L70. 4. A method for producing a soy milk, wherein the soy milk is a plain soy milk, comprising: the step of mixing roasted soy beans and unroasted soy beans during the production of the soy milk, in which a roasting level and a blending quantity are controlled so that the content of the methylpyrazine compounds in the soy milk is 55 to 1500 μg per 1 L, wherein the color of the roasted soy beans is from L30 to L70.
