Tetra Pak leverages whole soybean and okara by-product in latest processing system

07 Dec 2022 — Tetra Pak has unveiled a cutting-edge processing method for soy drinks that uses whole soybeans. With many consumers turning to plant-based beverages as a healthy option, “whole soy” has set the bar for the clean label standard. 

The processing method reduces food waste as the okara by-product is reintegrated into the final beverage and not discarded. Okara or soy pulp consists of insoluble parts of the soybean after pureed soybeans are filtered to make soy milk or tofu.
