The purpose of the treatments was to improve the compatibility of okara with the soy protein matrix by targeting the insoluble components of okara. The changes to okara as well as the physicochemical and structural properties of the okara-containing soymilk gels were examined. Subsequently, selected commercial dairy and vegan cheeses along with soybean derived products were analyzed to establish baseline textural profiles.enokarasoymilk gelstofuvalue-addedhigh-fibertextureMaster Thesis
