1. NaCl: 10% solution
2. NaOH: 1% solution
I did the same thing with soy previously deprived of oil by extraction with CCl4.
Results: NaCl solution had dissolved a very small quantity of proteinols precipitable by considerable dilution but even then the amount was so small as to cause only a slight precipitate.
Same result for Soy extracted with CCl4
NaOH had dissolved considerable amounts which were reprecipitated after adding acetic acid.
But I am inclined to think that fats may have been saponified

This was not the case with the Soy of which the fat had been extracted previously by CCl4 and the latter method would seem the most advisable one.
I also tried roasting soy beans as beans, in powder. as beans soaked in water with salt. Roasting in each case develops a very pleasant taste and destroys the characteristic disagreeable taste of raw peas.
I intend to investigate this further.
In the mean time I have repeated my experiments with NaOH and NaCl using a 1/2% NaOH solution and a 5% salt solution and warming on waterbath over
