Abstract
Flour samples were derived from the insoluble residue (okara) of four hybrid varieties of soybean developed by the Institute of Plant Breeding. The study intended to determine the quality of okara flour from IPB SY 96-27-21, IPB SY 96-27-23,Manchuria, and Tiwala 10. The physicochemical characteristics of the samples were determined in comparison with those of flour produced from commercially available soybeans. The samples were analyzed for their moisture, ash, crude fiber, crude protein, crude fat, carbohydrate, neutral detergent fiber, cellulose, total starch, and total sugar content, and urease activity. The samples derived from IPB-developed varieties of soybean were found to have greater amounts of ash and nitrogen-free extract, and lower crude fat and total sugar content compared with the commercial variety. In general, the samples were nutritionally superior to the commercial variety. Among them, Tiwala 10 stood out for possessing the highest starch, crude fiber and NDF content, and the lowest crude fat content and urease activity. Based on their physicochemical characteristics, the okara from hybrid soybean varieties developed by the Institute of Plant Breeding is a competent ingredient for the production of flour.
