Improving the physicochemical properties of okara for various applications in foods is of great importance. Here, okara and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) were atomized using a water jet (WJ) system. The WJ-treated okara and MCC dispersed homogeneously in water, and their median sizes in particle size distribution were 6.6 μm and 9.5 μm, respectively. The dispersions of WJ-treated okara and MCC showed high apparent viscosity and shear thinning behavior. Moreover, the inhibition of α-amylase activities by WJ-treated okara was more effective than that by untreated MCC and cellulose. Furthermore, the production of short-chain fatty acids by 32 dominant species of human gut microbes was determined. An increase in butyrate production by Roseburia intestinalis was observed in the presence of WJ-treated okara, but not in untreated okara or WJ-treated MCC. These results demonstrate that WJ system can be used on okara to increase inhibited α-amylase activities and butyrate production by gut microbiota.
