die Zubereitung des Kefi rs und des Kaeses aus der Sojamilch<br />
[On the preparation <strong>of</strong> kefi r <strong>and</strong> cheese from <strong>soy</strong><strong>milk</strong>].<br />
Schriften des Zentralen Biochemischen Forschungsinstituts<br />
der Nahrungs- und Genussmittelindustrie (Moscow)<br />
1(5):170-74. [4 ref. Rus; ger]<br />
• Summary: Describes how to prepare kefi r <strong>and</strong> cheese<br />
from sterilized <strong>soy</strong>bean <strong>milk</strong>, which is inoculated with “B.<br />
bulgaricus <strong>and</strong> Torula Kefi r.” After 24 hours at 37ºC the<br />
<strong>milk</strong> becomes sour <strong>and</strong> contains a small amount <strong>of</strong> alcohol.<br />
Its taste, appearance, <strong>and</strong> smell are reminiscent <strong>of</strong> Koumiss<br />
[Kumyss], which is quite similar to kefi r, even in its chemical<br />
composition. Upon fi ltering <strong>and</strong> pressing, the remaining<br />
“casein” produces a cheese (ergiebt einen Kaese), whose<br />
chemical composition is similar to that <strong>of</strong> cheeses made from<br />
cow’s <strong>milk</strong>. The kephir after 24 hours, has a density <strong>of</strong> 1.017,<br />
<strong>and</strong> contains dry matter 5.58%, sugar 0.17%, fat 1.81%,<br />
acidity (as lactic acid) 0.6%, ethanol 0.2%.<br />

“As early as 1918 a Spanish public <strong>of</strong>fi cial, Don Julio<br />
de Palencia, the Spanish Consul in Shanghai, sent the State<br />
Department (Ministeria de Estado) a magnifi cent report<br />
specifying the great attention that representatives <strong>of</strong> the<br />
principal countries <strong>of</strong> the world were giving to this crop<br />
[the <strong>soy</strong>a bean], <strong>and</strong> the relevance that it would have in the<br />
agricultural economy <strong>of</strong> the future. What a pity that Spain<br />
has been the only civilized country to ignore the study <strong>of</strong> the<br />
<strong>soy</strong>a bean <strong>and</strong> its exploitation on a large scale” [p. 5].<br />

spokesmen <strong>of</strong> this foundation/board (Patronato) for the<br />
special work they have done in writing this booklet: Don<br />
José Maria de Soroa, secretary <strong>of</strong> the Special School for<br />
Agricultural Engineers (Escuela Especial de Ingenieros<br />
Agrónomos), <strong>and</strong> Dr. Don José Abadal, chief <strong>of</strong> the Bureau<br />
for the Inspection <strong>of</strong> Pharmaceutical Services <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Ministry <strong>of</strong> War (Negociado de la Inspección de Servicios<br />
Farmaceuticos del Ministerio de la Guerra)” [p. 6].<br />
“In 1917 the Spanish Consul in Shanghai, Don Julio<br />
Palencia, sent to the State Department a study on cultivation<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>soy</strong>a, proposing that tests be done to acclimatize this<br />
valuable crop to our country.<br />
“In Motril <strong>and</strong> later at the southern agricultural station<br />
<strong>of</strong> Malaga, the agricultural engineer D. Arsenio Rueda has<br />
been cultivating <strong>soy</strong>a for the past 10 years [i.e. since 1923]<br />
in plots <strong>of</strong> 5 ares [1 are = 100 square meters], obtaining 60<br />
liters (each liter weighing 780 gm) in each one.<br />
“The white as well as the black varieties give good<br />
results, though the white ones do best. The seeds have been<br />
distributed to farmers who have noticed that, even though at<br />
fi rst the goats that were given them as food rejected them,<br />
after a few days <strong>of</strong> getting used to this grain preferred them<br />
to such an extent that one must avoid growing this plant near<br />
the herd’s path lest the herd be attracted <strong>and</strong> devour it all.<br />
“Although <strong>soy</strong>a is a legume which draws many nutrients<br />
out <strong>of</strong> the soil (esquilmante), it has according to Mr. Rueda,<br />
suffi cient interest since it allows usage <strong>of</strong> terrains where fi eld<br />
beans cannot be used due to the invasion <strong>of</strong> the pest called<br />
Orobanche speciosa, commonly called ‘Jopo.’ This parasite<br />
does not attack <strong>soy</strong>a...<br />
“Besides the quoted trials, it has been more than 25<br />
years since <strong>soy</strong> has been grown in Spain with success due<br />
to the interest <strong>and</strong> zeal that in their patriotic work, the<br />
agricultural engineer Mr. Eduardo Noriega undertook with<br />
his partner, Mr. Ortiz, on the farm <strong>of</strong> ‘Jerez.’<br />
“He was successful during many years using the yellow<br />
<strong>and</strong> black varieties, later on also cultivating it in the Spanish<br />
central region.<br />
“We think it useful also to state in writing the following<br />
data about <strong>soy</strong> grown by Dr. D. Jose Abadal in Lerida during<br />
the years <strong>of</strong> 1925-1926.<br />
“The experiment was done only out <strong>of</strong> curiosity, with<br />
the intention <strong>of</strong> seeing if it could be grown in said province.<br />
Japanese seeds <strong>of</strong> the hirsute <strong>soy</strong> variety, yellow seed, used<br />
as food for diabetes, were used. The planting was done in a<br />
garden with seeds that had been soaked for ten hours, with<br />
no more care or fertilizers than those used for all the existing<br />
plants <strong>of</strong> that garden. The terrain <strong>of</strong> course was one <strong>of</strong> easy<br />
irrigation <strong>and</strong> located in Lerida where it is very hot all during<br />
the summer.<br />
“This brief essay demonstrates that <strong>soy</strong> can be grown in<br />
irrigated terrain in very hot places <strong>and</strong> with little care.<br />
“Fifteen years ago, the agricultural Engineer D. Jesus<br />
Andreu, in the province <strong>of</strong> Pontevedra [in the northwest
