1. Introduction
Soy beans have been well-recognized as an excellent
source of high-quality protein and lipid. In most Asian
countries, a meat diet was not common until the 19th
century, except for a narrow region and an era. In east-
ern Asia, soybeans have been grown as one of the most
important protein resources. Soybeans are a good
source of dietary fibres, which accelerate excretion of
harmful chemical compounds and regulate the function
of the intestines. At the same time, soybeans have at-
tracted the attention of scientists as a supply source
for different kinds of valuable minerals (Fonseca &
Ward, 2004) such as calcium, phosphorus, and iron.
