From One Soybean: Linking Nutrition, the Land, and the Table
Every year on February 10, the United Nations observes World Pulses Day.
Beyond highlighting nutritional value, this day invites us to reflect on how soybeans influence health, sustainability, and the future of the food industry.
l For consumers: Soybeans are rich in plant-based protein and dietary fiber. Their nitrogen-fixing properties improve soil health and support low-carbon, sustainable agriculture. They are a reliable nutrition source for vegetarians, older adults, and health-conscious consumers.
l For manufacturers: Soybeans are highly processable and standardizable, enabling a wide range of value-added products such as soymilk, tofu, dried tofu, and plant-based alternatives.
From “Edible” to “Well-Produced”: Equipment Is the Key
While soy nutrition is widely discussed, product differentiation lies in automated processing systems where quality is defined at every stage.
l Grinding: A stainless SUS butterfly grinder ensures uniform particle size, reduces oxidation, and supports stable downstream processing.
l Cooking & Thermal Processing: Bucket or continuous cooker systems achieve complete heat treatment, remove raw soybean flavors, and improve protein utilization.
l Automation: SHOKUNIN ONE Soymilk Machine (Defoamer Free) integrates processes with precise control, enabling efficient production while meeting hygiene and food safety standards.
This is why soy food manufacturers worldwide choose Ta Ti Hsing. With deep expertise in soy processing, we help eliminate raw flavors, preserve soy isoflavones and high-quality proteins, and maximize soybean value through fully automated solutions.
