For the manufacture of soybean cheese, curds were made from soy milk using either lactic starter or CaCl₂ and ripened for 3 weeks. When papain was added during ripening, the amout of soluble protein increased. The yields of 3 soybean cheese were 76∼88%, indicating that considerable loss of soy protein did not occur during the processing. During the period of ripening the change of moisture content was about 1%. Total acidity of 3 soy cheese increased, demonstrating the production of lactic acid through lactic fermentation. Texture determined by Instron showed that 3 soy cheese had their own characteristic texture profile curve and that the cheese without papain treatment received the highest textural parameters. 3 manufactured soy cheese reeceived 3-4(good-very good) sensory scores in appearance, flavor and texture. General acceptibility of 3 cheese were evaluated as desirable or very desirable.
