  • Process for producing soy milk
    Patent number: 8449935
    Abstract: 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.
    Type: Grant

  • Evaluation method and device for gel state or sol-gel state change of object
    Patent number: 7310139
    Abstract: 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.

  • Evaluation method and device for gel state or sol-gel state change of object
    Publication number: 20050225752
    Abstract: The object of the invention is to solve the problems regarding the quality control of processed products (including packaged products and intermediate products during production processes) by establishing a non-destructive and non-contact type method for the measurement of gel state of a material body and a change in sol-gel state of the material body, and thereby to provide a quick automatic inspection system by which 100% inspection can be carried out easily and inexpensively on the production line. The problem is solved by observing an image formation or speckle pattern of a light section formed on the surface or observing face of the material body, using a light scattering observation system in which a coherent light (e.g.
