Theeffect of heat on trypsin inhibitor (TI) activity during steam-infusion cooking of soymilk was studied. At 154°C only 40 s process time reduced TI to the same level as conventional cooking at 99°C for 60 min. Between 99 and 154°C the kinetics of TI inactivation followed behavior exemplified by the summation of two first-order reactions. Spline fitting functions effectively modeled the data with r2 ranging from 0.984 to 0.999. The heat-labile reaction was attributed to Kunitz inhibitor and the heat-stable reaction, to Bowman-Birk inhibitor. The former accounted for approximately 85 percent of the iriginal TI activity. Arrhenius equation kinetic constants …

Peanut slices can be directly extracted with hexane yielding more soluble protein and better color than pre-press solvent extraction; however, flavor and odor are characterized as raw and “green beany”. The utilization of secondary extraction with hexane: ethanol azeotrope, hexane: methanol azeotrope and absolute ethanol subsequent to hexane extraction significantly improved flavor and odor characteristics of peanut flour. Hexane: propanol azeotrope did not significantly improve sensory evaluations. Hexane: ethanol azeotrope did not reduce soluble protein, yielding an NSI value of 95%. Hexane: methanol azeotrope and absolute ethanol slightly reduced NSI to 88% and 92% respectively. Color of peanut flour was …
