A process for preparing a beanless flavor soymilk or okara or a
combination thereof, which compares the stages of containing soybeans
with de-aerated water under an atmosphere of carbon dioxide for a time
and a temperature effective to allow said soybeans to soak and swell;
washing said soaked and swollen soybeans with water to remove
oligosaccharides and ripening enzymes; grinding said washed soybeans
under an at atmosphere of carbon dioxide by bubbling in carbon dioxide in
a sublimated state to form a slurry; and filtering the slurry to produce
raw okara and soymilk.
