Sensory characteristics and apparent viscosity of reconstituted soybean milk obtained from powdered soybean milk submitted previously to different homogenization pressures (3,000, 4,000, 5,000 and 6,000 psi) were studied. It was observed that the apparent viscosity increased progressively with the increase of homogenization pressure. Pressures of 4,000, 5,000 and 6,000 psi of homogenization resulted in reconstituted products of better appearance, flavor and texture. Reconstituted soybean milks obtained from powdered soybean milk previously submitted to homogenization pressures of 4,000 and 5,000 psi, and flavored with vanilla and coconut, were equally preferred by consumer-type panelists. It was found that best levels of apparent viscosity which correlate with the best body are 21 and 26 centipoises, which correspond to homogenization pressures of 4,000 and 5,000 psi, respectively.
