Introduction

 Soybean Milk is a plant-based liquid derived from soybeans, gaining


popularity as a vegan and lactose-free alternative to dairy milk.

 The rising demand for sustainable and ethical food products is driving
research into plant-based alternatives.

 This study focuses on preparing soybean milk at home and


systematically comparing it with natural milk based on nutrition,
functionality, and environmental impact.
Materials Required
 Beakers  Thermometer
 Pestle and  Muslin cloth
Mortar  Burner
 Measuring  Soybeans
Cylinder  Buffalo Milk
 Glass rod  Fresh Curd
 Tripod stand  Distilled water
Procedure (Step-by-Step Process)

 Soak about 150g of Soybeans in different amount of water so that they are
completely dipped in it. Keep them dipped for 24 hours.

 Take out swollen Soybeans and grind them to a very fine paste with pestle and
mortar.

 Add about 250ml of water to this paste and filter it through a muslin cloth. Clear
white filtrate is Soybean milk. Compare its taste with buffalo milk.

 Take 50ml of Buffalo milk in three beakers and heat the beakers to 30°C, 40°C and
50°C respectively. Add 1/4 spoonful curd to each of the beakers.

 Leave the beakers undisturbed for 8 hours and curd is formed.
