Deodorized soybeansPosted Mar 9th 2006 7:07PM by Nick VagnoniFiled under: Farming, Business, Southern States, New ProductsFood scientists at the University of Georgia are working with a new type of soybean that supposedly has none of the
"off" or "beany" taste sometimes associated with soy products, according to FoodNavigator-USA.com. The bean, known
as L-Star, is a non-GMO variety that lacks lipoxygenase, the enzyme responsible for the odd flavor in question. Aside
from a difference in taste, UGA scientists say that products made from L-Star may be more nutritious, as they won't
have to undergo the "deodorizing" process that other soybeans are sometimes treated to. Products using L-Star
soybeans may begin to appear in U.S. markets by next year.The only instance I can think of where an odd
flavor is really apparent is soy milk, which, to me, has a very distinct taste. I've never found tofu or soybeans to
have strange or unpleasant flavor, however.
