• Summary: Whey protein concentrate (WPC) and nonfat
dry milk (NFDM) both functioned well as ingredients for
formulating soymilk-based yogurt products that compared
well with typical dairy yogurt in every aspect studied except
for lack of typical yogurt and acidity fl avors and the presence
of soy off-fl avors. The activated carbon process was not
very effective in removing phenolic compounds and offfl
avors from soymilk. Address: 1-2. Dep. of Food Science &
