Development of RTS soymilk beverages blended with strawberry pulp

Mostly all Indian are vegetarian and only depends on pulses for their protein need. Protein malnutrition mainly occurs in children and about 80% of children are suffering from malnutrition disorder. Thus soy-based products have become a good and attractive source as a potential alternative to cow's milk and also have high-quality proteins and carbohydrates but are devoid of lactose and cholesterol. It is an abundant and economical source of nutrition for milk allergy patients, lactose-intolerant individuals and also for the vegetarians. Soymilk based beverages can be taken as weaning food for babies and used as a treatment of malnourished children and when we use it¿s as a regular diet rich in iso-flavonoids that lowered the risk of many diseases, such as prostate and breast cancers, cardiovascular diseases and osteoporosis so we will be focus on both prospective but off-flavours of soymilk have been attributed to soybean, lipoxygenase (LOX) activity which restricts its use as a food component. Thus, the present investigation was carried out to reduce the beany flavour of soymilk and develop soy based strawberry rich beverage.
