soy milk production with no beany flavor
does anyone know how big industries like Silk are producing soy drinks with no beany flavor? I read that a you should soak beans in boioling water (which temperature? for how many minutes?) in order to disable some enzymes. Then you should rinse the beans (is there anything to be careful to?) Finally you have to remove the skins.
what else?
How to bring a better texture?

Ok - given your clarification try the following:
- Rinse your beans before handling, through transport and storage dust accrues and can increase their natural nutty flavour.
- Blanche them in boiling water for roughly 90s. Then strain and rinse under cool water in your sink (have a catch of some kind to prevent bits of going down the drain).
- Cook as normal but add a pinch of sugar (can't say for sure how much, as I don't know the volume you are making).
- When cooked/milked, strain again, and then let it rest in the fridge until cool.
This is exactly how I make mine (I make both varieties though), and there is very little (if any) beany taste left. In fact, sometimes as a result (mind you I use the same beans everytime) it comes a little bit nutty.

Answer 2
While all these answers are good, I will add in something that hasn't been mentioned! What we do in my home for homemade soyabean is that we usually will add in aromatics such as pandas leaves, which will most definitely enhance the flavour and also get rid the "beany" taste. You can probably get these in your asian food market.
Answer 3
From Serious Eats:
The quality of commercial soy milk had also improved, thanks to food science. In the late 1960s, flavor researchers at Cornell University had definitively identified an enzyme called lipoxygenase as the source of soy milk’s reviled beany flavor. When soaked soybeans were ground at temperatures below 180°F (82°C), lipoxygenase went on a catalytic rampage, converting fatty acids into a whole spectrum of rancid-tasting and unpleasant molecules. Scientists also pinpointed oligosaccharides, or complex sugars, as the culprits behind soy-milk flatulence. By the 1970s, it was possible to manufacture a bland, creamy, and fartless soy milk—a truly inoffensive beverage, suitable for mass consumption.
