    • ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]Fermented foods are those processed through the activities of microorganisms. Soy milk is an aqueous extract from soybeans known for its nutritive health benefits. The aim of this work is to ferment soy milk product with starter culture (lactobacillus bulgaricus and streptococcus thermophilus) to prolong its shelf life. The soy bean was purchased from Ogbete main market located at Enugu North in Enugu state. It was immediately transferred to Godfrey Okoye University microbiology laboratory, wher ...

      CHAPTER ONE - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]1.0 INTRODUCTIONSoymilk is a rich creamy liquid extract of soybean (Glycine max) (Tunde-Akintunde and Souley, 2009) and is the most available soy product. Soymilk is a popular nutritive beverage alternative to cow’s milk and is even cheaper(Soya-Agrodok, 2005). Soymilk has become a very interesting food due to its extraordinary nutritive value and health characteristics. It is a very rich source of highly valuable proteins, unsaturated fatty acids, soluble and insoluble dietary fibres, an ... Continue reading---
