The effects of thermal treatment, dry heat and steam on the physiologically active substances: urease and trypsin inhibitors of soybean products, were evaluated by means of urease activity and trypsin inhibitor activity. The parameters time and temperature, moisture and particle size were considered. From these analyses it can be concluded that the best conditions to obtain optimum soybean products were 25% of initial moisture content, exposed to steam (97 degrees C) during four to eight minutes.
