Abstract

To achieve the powder quality required by customers for different uses, a new method for producing the soybean powder has been proposed. Soybeans were processed by the instant controlled pressure drop technology (DIC is its French acronym - Détente Instantanée Contrôlée) before being pulverized. The physical and structural properties of soybean powder were controlled through investigating the effects of steam pressure and processing time of the DIC by using the Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The results show that the properties of soybean powder were affected more by steam pressure than by processing time. An increase in the porosity (10.3%), interstitial air volume (36%), compressibility (14.5%); a decrease in the Sauter mean diameter (17.7%), tapped density (15%), and bulk density (17%) were observed after DIC treatment. The modification of soybean grain structure after DIC treatment enhanced the drying kinetics and made the subsequent grinding easier and this implied a significant reduction in energy consumption.
