Soybean milk needs to be boiled for a few minutes

Soybean milk needs to be boiled and heated continuously for 5-10 minutes. Soybean milk that is not fully boiled may contain harmful substances such as saponins. It is recommended to use a thermometer to confirm that it reaches 100 ℃ and maintain boiling state.

soybean milk contains anti nutritional factors such as trypsin inhibitors and saponins, which can be destroyed under high temperature. When soybean milk is heated to about 80 ℃, false boiling will occur, and a lot of foam will be generated on the surface. At this time, the temperature has not yet reached the requirement of completely inactivating harmful substances. Continuous boiling for 5 minutes can effectively reduce saponin content, and 10 minutes can further ensure safety. When boiling with traditional cookware, it is necessary to stir repeatedly to prevent the bottom from sticking. After the bubbles break, heating over medium heat is more conducive to uniform heat transfer.

When soybean milk machine is used, some models have insufficient heating power or program setting defects, which may lead to the actual temperature not reaching the standard. It is recommended to choose equipment with boiling and insulation dual programs, or manually extend the heating time. For people with soybean allergy, people with weak gastrointestinal function and children, fully boiled soybean milk is more conducive to digestion and absorption. The boiled soybean milk can be refrigerated for 24 hours, and it needs to be reheated to boiling when drinking again.

It is recommended to drink soybean milk with cereal food to improve protein utilization and avoid drinking on an empty stomach. Self made soybean milk can be added with a small amount of glutinous rice or oats to increase the consistency and reduce the risk of foam overflow during boiling. If nausea, abdominal pain and other discomfort occur after drinking soybean milk that is not thoroughly boiled, seek medical advice immediately. Reasonably control the daily intake of soybean milk at 200-300ml, and alternate consumption with soybean products can balance the nutrition intake.
