This document provides information and instructions for home scale production of various processed food products using soybeans and fruits. It discusses making soymilk, tofu, okara, solar dehydrated fruits, osmo-dehydrated fruit slices, fruit jam, and mango panna. The steps provided include soaking, grinding, boiling, filtering, adding acid or sugar, drying, and blending ingredients. Examples are also given of self-help groups that have been trained to produce products like dried chili, ginger and garlic powder, sattu, papad, flavored soymilk and more.

5. Soybean as Protein Food Source
Why Soybean
•40% best quality plant protein
•20% excellent quality oil omega-3
•Full of phytochemicals and
micronutrients to fight life style diseases
•USFDA health claim food
Need
•Protein 1 g/kg body weight all through
life
•Pulse consumption need to be 75g/day
•9 kg/family of 4

6. • Soak the soybeans for 8 hours. It will double in size.
• Grind the soaked soy to a fine paste and make slurry with hot water.
• Bring it to boil and switch flame to low. Let it boil on low flame for 15
minutes.
Pour the milk in a sieve and filter the milk with muslin cloth.
(The result is soy milk. The by product got after filtering the milk is
called Okara. This is rich in protein. This can be used for various
purposes. So don’t discard.)
• Mix citric acid to 1/4cup water. Add this solution to the hot soy milk
and stir it once.
• The milk will curdle. Filter this through a cloth lined sieve.
• Keep the filtered tofu into a cheese strainer and cover it with the
cloth on all the sides. Keep some heavy object on top and leave it for
35 minutes.
• Remove weight and open the cloth. Cut it into small pieces and use.
(The Okara can be toasted in oven to get rid of the water content and
can be powdered in a mixer grinder. This can be used in soups,
cutlets, breads, cakes etc.)

13. Combine the bananas and sugars in a
medium pot. Mash with a fork until the
