ABSTRACT:
A method for debittering soybeans to destroy and extract the bitter taste therefrom. Soybeans are loaded into open baskets with foraminous bottoms suspended from links on a chain conveyor successively and intermittently indexed by rachet driven sprockets through three zones of a processing tank having an exhaust hood. Water preheated to approximately 198.degree. F. flows through the tank and each zone thereof has a steam manifold therein whereby steam is injected into the first zone to raise the water temperature to approximately 214.degree. F. and bubble and agitate the water and the beans loaded in the baskets. The baskets and beans then travel through the second zone wherein they continue to be agitated by action of steam but wherein the temperature is lowered by the injection of tempering water to approximately 212.degree. F. Thereafter, upon entry into zone three, agitation of the beans continue with temperature also being approximately 212.degree. F. The emerging basket with the treated beans therein is subjected to a cold water spray and continued travel of the conveyor inverts the baskets and drops the treated beans therefrom onto a conveyor disposed therebelow for disposal and collection in a container.
