...of its color, soybean is aptly referred as the Golden Bean. The use of soybean in foods has been rather limited outside the Orient, mainly due to the rancid-oil-like taste problem of such foods, especially those derived from soymilk. This bad taste is imparted by the catalytic action of lipoxygenase enzyme in synthesizing off-flavor causing volatiles from lipids in the bean in the presence of water and oxygen. Until recently, the only successful way of combating the offflavor problem was to kill the lipoxygenase enzyme, such as by thermal and/or chemical treatment. However, killing the enzyme is like treating cancer; for the process also adversely affects a lot of good protein cells, making the extraction of soluble protein in water very difficult. The Golden Bean was finally tamed with the invention of a natural process in which the soybeans are ground in water in the absence of air at a temperature that is too low to adversely affect the lipoxygenase enzyme and the proteins. This air-less cold-grind process permits the soluble solids in soybean to easily dissolve or make a colloid in water. Any heat treatment necessary to make the product digestible is performed only after air-less cold-grind step. It results in clean tasting soymilk without the characteristic chalkiness imparted by...

...Chapter 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE Introduction Soymilk is a popular dairy alternative in the west, and it has long been traditional in beverage in China, Japan and other parts of Asia. Some people drink soy milk because they are lactose intolerant sensitive. Soymilk is a healthy drink containing the essential nutrients and phytochemicals. Products made with soy, including soy milk, contain chemicals known as isoflavones. These molecules are potent antioxidants that can help protect the body from dangerous molecules known as reactive oxygen species. Isoflavones are also interesting because they have a chemical structure that is similar to estrogen, reports the Harvard School of Public Health, which is why they are called phytoestrogens. In theory, these isoflavones may be able to have a similar effect on the body as naturally produced estrogen. Soy milk, have a low-glycemic index value. Glycemic index, or GI, is a numerical system that measures the amount of sugar in a particular food. Soy foods are digested and absorbed slowly, which means your body converts them to sugar and absorbs them into your bloodstream gradually. This gradual release of sugar helps minimize blood sugar swings. Consumption of soy foods may also increase production of insulin in patients with type 1 diabetes, according "Modern Nutrition in Health and Disease," by Maurice Edward and Moshe Shike. Eating food is how you provide fuel to your body to stay alive. Food is digested by a complex system of...

...irregular heartbeats, asthma, headaches, fatigue, and digestive problems have “showed marked and often complete improvements in their health after cutting milk from their diet.” (PETA) People go dairy free for many reasons: to clear their skin, to have a healthier digestive system, for weight loss, vegan living, etc. There are multiple replacements for all dairy products including milk, cheese, desserts, snacks, and spreads (Schaeffer, Juliann). For instance, soymilk, a liquid extract of soybeans, is the most recognizable and the most sold in grocery stores (Schaeffer, Juliann). Since it does not contain any lactose, soy milk is often used as a substitute for people with lactose intolerance. Soy milk contains the most protein of all the non-dairy alternatives, with six to ten grams per cup (Schaeffer, Juliann). Also, it contains omega-3 fatty acids and fiber (Schaeffer, Juliann). Various brands are available at grocery store chains, Silk and Earth Balance being the two most known brands (Schaeffer, Juliann). Because soymilk is a well- known milk replacement and is found at all grocery chains, it makes it easier for people to transition from dairy milk to nondairy milk. Another easy transition from dairy to nondairy is ice cream. Rice-based ice creams are the most popular alternative because it is so sweet, Rice Dream is a popular brand and easy to find in stores (Cruit, Rachel). Another sweet non-dairy treat is NadaMoo, it is made with coconut milk and agave. Not only is it dairy...

...was very informative and clearly explained that while soy and rice milk have good benefits for adults it can cause serious health conditions for infants and children. These products lack the proper amount of vitamin D and protein needed for good development. As noted by the Center for Disease Control (CDC), lack of proper vitamins and nutrition can result in rickets (a severe vitamin D deficiency) and kwashiorkor (protein deficiency) which are normally only found in third world countries. The reason why rice and soy milk cause issues for younger children is because their diets do not contain a wide variety of foods and so they lack vitally needed protein and vitamins. Adults eat such a wide variety of foods that substituting rice or soymilk for dairy milk does not typically have any affect on the amount of vitamins and protein consumed. According to Albert Yan, “a pediatric dermatologist at the University of Pennsylvania, babies' skin becomes like "flaky paint" and their hair, lacking enough melanin, gets lighter. More seriously, they develop tissue swelling (edema) and their bodies fail to produce crucial immune factors.” The good news from this article is that these nutritional problems are typically reversible. Producers of rice and soy milk products are doing their best to notify consumers of the problems related to feeding their products to...

...One of my favorite things to bake (and eat) is chocolate chip cookies. However, since my kids have food allergies, we decided to try a new vegan chocolate chip cookie recipe that we found online. What comes to mind when you think of vegan chocolate chip cookies? Some people may think the words “vegan” and “chocolate chip cookies“ don‘t even belong in the same sentence, while most people think about wheatgrass and soymilk and instantly become uninterested. Vegan chocolate chip cookies taste so close to traditional chocolate chip cookies that most people can’t tell the difference between the two. Today, we are going to show you how to make vegan chocolate chip cookies without the use of dairy products. However, before enjoying a batch of these delicious, mouthwatering treats, there are a few steps in preparing them. Three areas of importance are making sure all the ingredients are present, putting the ingredients together, and baking the cookies. First, gather all of the ingredients together.

...family built a new factory in Kalihi. The plant tour (Appendix 2) illustrates the way Aloha Tofu produces their firm tofu. This type of tofu is unique because it absorbs more flavor and will stay the same shape if it's “fried, broiled, grilled or boiled”. It can be used in many different kinds of recipes, and as a meat substitute in many cultural foods. The tofu start out as soybeans. They are put in 2 hoppers overnight where they soak for 6-8 hours. At this point they double in size and are then placed into a grinder (0:41). It is then placed into 2 cookers for 40-45 minutes. At this point some of the liquid is removed from the crushed soybeans. The okata is removed because it doesn't work to make the tofu (1:08). The remainder is soymilk, which is then given a coagulant (nigari, a form of magnesium chloride and calcium sulfate). If too much nigari is added, it can ruin the flavor of the tofu, as it will be too bitter. At this stage the tofu is in a gel-like form (2:13). The curds are then broken up to form a firmer tofu and they are placed into molds. From there the product is pressed to remove whey. It is then covered by hand and pressed by a hydraulic machine. While it is placed into the cooling tank, the tofu is...

...“The DRI recommendations for nutrient intake include four sets of values. The Estimated Average Requirements are average amounts of nutrients or other dietary components required by healthy individuals in a population. They are determined using experimental data on nutrient needs and are used in assessing the adequacy of a population's food supply or typical intake. They are not appropriate for evaluating an individual's intake but are used to calculate the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs). The RDAs recommend specific amounts of nutrients and other dietary components to meet the needs of most healthy people. When there is not enough data about nutrient requirements to establish EARs and RDAs, are set, based on what healthy people typically eat. RDA or AI values can be used as goals for individual intake and to plan and evaluate individual diets, they are meant to represent the amounts that most healthy people should consume, on average, over several days or even weeks, not each and every day. Because they are set high enough to meet the needs of almost all healthy people, intake below the RDA or AI does not necessarily mean that an individual is deficient, but the risk of deficiency is greater than if the individual consumed the recommended amount” (Wiley Plus, 2012). Based on this I would say that my intake for the day of September 7, 2012 followed the guidelines very well. “The human body requires many vitamins and minerals in order to function...

...Understand Your Fats and Fiber Your Name SCI/241 December 20, 2012 Instructor Understand Your Fats and Fiber Before you can understand the difference between good and bad fats, you need to some information about them. There are four major types of fats: monounsaturated fats, polyunsaturated fats, saturated fats, and trans-fats. Monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats are known as good fats because they are good for your heart, your cholesterol, and your overall health. These fats are found in olive, soybean, canola, and corn oils, avocados, fatty fish, and soymilk. Saturated fats and trans-fats are known as bad fats because they increase your risk of disease and elevate cholesterol. These bad fats can be found in high-fat cuts of meat, packaged snack foods, butter, cheese, vegetable shortening, fried foods, and candy bars. Foods containing trans-fats, or trans fatty acids, are harmful because they are known to increase the risk of heart disease, increase total cholesterol levels, and cause your healthy HDL (good) cholesterol levels to drop. They are also responsible for clogging arteries and causing obesity. Saturated fat is a fat that contains only saturated fatty acids, is solid at room temperature, and comes mainly from animal food products. Some examples of saturated fat are butter, lard, meat fat, solid shortening, palm oil, and coconut oil. Saturated fat tends to raise the level of cholesterol in the blood. Unsaturated fat is a fat that is liquid at room...

...Introduction Starbucks has evolved over the years into a retail giant, branching out into new areas and partnering with other giants to get their brand to the masses. There are several reasons why Starbucks is on top of their market, one being the meticulous attention they pay to details. Starbucks prides itself in providing the highest quality product with excellent customer service. Coffee beans were imported from all over the world and freshly roasted in shop. The premium coffee company has a loyal following of coffee and tea consumers imbibing something like a million drinks per week at its 16,000 stores worldwide. The stores were constructed to give the customer a unique and intimate experience upon every visit. The java giant has earned the title of the world's largest coffeehouse company. But Starbucks is also one of those companies people love to hate. Whether it's the issue of recyclable cups, Fair Trade coffees, labor rights, corporate social responsibility, predatory business tactics, or over-roasted coffee, there's no shortage of strong anti-Starbucks sentiments these days. The collected data was not only showing a lack of image and product differentiation between Starbucks’ products and other smaller coffee chains but also a discontent with customer service. The branding strategy followed by the coffee company had three main components. First was the coffee itself that was believed to be the highest-quality coffee in the world, sourced from Africa.
