Sensory Analysis of Soy Yogurt and Frozen Soy Yogurt Produced From Rapid Hydration Hydrothermal Cooked Soy Milk

Sensory studies have been conducted on flavored soy yogurt (FLAVSYO) and frozen flavored soy yogurt (FROZSYO) made from rapid hydration hydrothermal cooked soy milk. Trained panel testing was conducted with a panel of 5. Consumer acceptance tests were carried out with 195 consumers using standard nine‐point hedonic scales. The frequencies of the consumers who liked FROZSYO were high at like slightly to like extremely, the FLAVSYO and FROZSYO had less beany flavor than the soy milk. The data from the trained panel indicate that processing, fermentation, and flavoring significantly changed the major attributes. Relative to unflavored soy yogurt, the beany flavors, chalkiness, aftertaste, sweetness, uniformity, and mouth coating scores of the FLAVSYO and FROZSYO were closer to the corresponding sensory scores for the commercial yogurt.
